The leader in a church needs to be a man of certain characteristics, and today Pastor John will tell you exactly what those are. He’ll talk about the Pastor’s home life, if he has a wife and children, and how that family unit should look. A Pastor needs to care for those under his roof as he does his church family! Pastor John will also talk about the man himself, what this spiritual leader should and should not do in his day to day life, and how he needs to treat and teach the Word of God!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus chapter 1 as he continues his message The Marks of a Spiritual Leader.

The world has its own opinions on how relationships work, how life should go, and who matters most. But many times, those opinions don’t line up with Biblical principles! They change too and tend to be self-focused. Today, Pastor John will remind you that followers of Christ are called to a different standard. You are to focus on God’s plans, not your own! God has detailed how He wants His people to conduct themselves in the Bible, and that standard will never change!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus chapter 1 as he begins his message The Marks of a Spiritual Leader.

Pastor John brings up an interesting point in today’s message – there actually is something that God can’t do! He can’t, and will never, LIE! God will always tell you the truth, as He always has. What He says is fact, and you can always rely on it. You never have to doubt that He loves you – He confirms this in the Bible – and you don’t need to worry about whether or not Jesus is enough to cover your sins. That’s in Scripture too. If God has said it, He will do it, and He will always stand by His Word!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus chapter 1 as he continues his message The Facets of a Faithful Servant.

The Apostle Paul took his position seriously and wasn’t afraid to declare his allegiance. In this new study in the book of Titus, Pastor John will be telling you the value Paul placed on identifying himself as the property of God. Paul wasn’t afraid to be known as a slave – someone who belongs to the Creator of the Universe. If you’ve given your life to Christ, you too fall under this category! Now you have the privilege of serving your kind, loving, and Almighty God with all you do!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus chapter 1 as he begins his message The Facets of a Faithful Servant.

The Apostle Paul has a few final lessons for Timothy – and you – to learn in today’s message! You’ll learn the importance of continuing to try again – when you’ve fallen, let the Lord pick you up and give you the grace you need! Pastor John encourages you today, too, to reconcile your past hurts. Allow forgiveness to be part of your relationships! Today you’ll also learn how faith can carry you through any situation, and how you’re not alone in this journey with God!

 Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy chapter 4 as he continues his message Paul Poured Out.

There is one faith that all believers share, and in his message today, Pastor John will tell you about it. It’s the faith that we all live for – it’s faith in the salvation that only Jesus brings. That hope – that truth that we cling to – is what gets you through the toughest days. It’s that glimmer of light when all else seems too dark. If you’re in a place today where you can’t find hope, turn to Jesus, and put your faith in Him! He will never disappoint, He will always comfort, and He will be with you always!

 Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy chapter 4 as he begins his message Paul Poured Out.

Pastor John will talk today about the last days, a time when people will do what seems right in their own eyes. At that point, they won’t be interested in the truth. They may want to look like they’re following Jesus by going to church or reading their Bible, but they aren’t searching for the truth. They’ll be seeking the passages that make them feel good about themselves! These misguided people will look for churches that don’t tell them how they’ve sinned. They’ll want the Pastor to condone their actions!

 Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy chapter 4 as he continues his message, Preach the Word.

This should be reassuring for you today – Pastor John will be teaching from God’s Word! Sound biblical teaching is his goal with every message he shares, and today he’ll urge you to find a church with the same philosophy. Every Pastor who teaches a congregation needs to be teaching from the Bible! Pastor John will also share that you need to be learning and correctly sharing God’s Word too. Every time you quote Scripture, make sure it’s in context and speaks the way God intended!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy chapter 4 as he begins his message, Preach the Word.

If you’re a Christian, you believe that your only hope of salvation is Jesus. You’ve given your sins to Him and allowed His sacrifice to wipe your slate clean. You believe that the Bible is God’s Word, but you don’t put your hope of salvation IN the Bible. Pastor John reminds you in his message today that this is an important distinction to make! You need to believe the truth of the Bible, but you aren’t putting your faith in this book to be enough for you. It simply contains the answer – it tells you all about Jesus!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy chapter 3 as he continues his message How to Stand in the Last Days.

Who are you letting influence your life? Today Pastor John will challenge you to think about what messages you’re listening to. What Pastors are you learning from, and who in your life do you look to for advice and encouragement? Pastor John will urge you to test those voices against Scripture and make sure speak God’s truth, no matter how hard it is to hear. When you have un-Biblical influence coming into your ears, your heart may pull you toward that false doctrine, and false living!
