In our world today, you’re accused of being intolerant and unloving if you don’t embrace and accept every spiritual teaching. It’s mean to claim you’re right, the Bible is right and everything else isn’t true. The apostle Paul warned believers that this would happen. He wanted believers to be on guard and alert to these false teachings. Don’t be alarmed, Pastor John teaches today, when you hear similar messages in our culture. Remember that there is one truth, and it’s found in the bible.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 16 as he begins his message Paul’s Protective Heart.

The apostle Paul built friendships and relationships with people everywhere he traveled. He trusted these men and women with helping with the monumental task God had given him in ministry. Today, Pastor John will encourage you, like Paul, to recognize your need for friendship, fellowship, and community among other believers. Serving God in ministry can be quite challenging at times. And you’re never meant to do it alone. It’s essential to build relationships and serve God together.  

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 16 for his message Paul, A Lover of People.

It can be hard sometimes to admit weakness or ask for help. Even as believers, it can be hard to even ask for prayer. It feels stronger and safer to act like you have it all together. But, as Pastor John teaches you today, this isn’t strength at all. The strongest believers actually humble themselves and covet others’ prayers. Even Paul, the apostle, frequently asked for prayers for himself and his ministry. You need prayer. And others need your prayers too. There’s great power in prayer.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 15 as he continues his message Paul’s Marvelous Ministry.

It can be difficult sometimes to know what God’s will and call are for your life. And as a child of God, you likely wonder how to follow His direction. Today, Pastor John will explain how God opens doors of opportunities and closes doors as well.  When you’re seeking His will, pray fervently for discernment. Look for ways He’s opening and closing opportunities in front of you. Be faithful to step through doors God is opening. And be patient and trust God when He closes a door.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 15 as he continues his message Paul’s Marvelous Ministry.

God has a call and plan for every one of His children. He has a ministry for you to be a part of. He wants to use you to reach the world. Today, Pastor John will challenge you to humbly seek the will of God and be willing to follow it when God leads you. He will use you in mighty and incredible ways when you come to Him humble and surrendered.  All of His plans and the calling upon your life are a gift of God. And He wants you to use it all for the Glory of God. This world needs you to follow God’s plan for you joyfully.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 15 as he continues his message Paul’s Marvelous Ministry.

The greatest need the world is facing right now isn’t a financial, political, or emotional need. The world’s greatest need today is that people would know the gospel and recognize there’s power in it. Each one of us is called to preach and proclaim God’s good news. Today, Pastor John will challenge you to boldly proclaim the gospel to the world. Everywhere you go and whoever you interact with is the right place to share the gospel. Never grow tired of preaching this message! It’s salvation for the lost!

Two groups - the Jews and the Gentiles, couldn’t have been more opposed, more divided. Not only did they have nothing in common, but they also had a deep dislike and disdain for each other. Yet, they were united in one mind and spirit by faith in God. As Pastor John teaches today, all who believe in Jesus are one.  We have one common purpose - to share the love of Christ with the world. So, everyone, regardless of who you are, belongs in this family. You’re important here, in the family of God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 15 as he continues his message When Christians Disagree.

Sometimes it can be hard to determine what you can or can’t do as a believer in Christ when it’s unclear in scripture. You have the liberty as a believer to make these choices in your life. But not all things are good to do, as Pastor John will explain today. And as you seek to determine your right choices, consider if it will stumble you or someone else in faith. Is it loving? Will it help or hinder your walk with Jesus? And finally, you should determine if the behavior or decision is Christ-like. Would Jesus do this or think that?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 15 as he continues his message When Christians Disagree.

All too often, believers will argue over issues that are unimportant. Instead of fighting over insignificant matters, Pastor John declares today, we should focus on the essentials of the gospel. The kingdom of God is about righteousness, peace, and joy and pursuing these blessings of God. Is your life focused on living rightly, the way God has laid out in His word? Are you filled with and pursuing peace with others in your life? Does joy radiate from you, declaring to the world you know and love Jesus?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans chapter 14 as he continues his message When Christians Disagree.

There are things in the bible that are clearly spoken of in black and white that are prohibited for believers. But, there are also things that aren’t spoken of directly and are a bit of a grey area. And there’s often a significant difference in how believers view these things and act in life. These things, Pastor John will explain today, often cause fights among believers. He’ll encourage you to think biblically in all matters and conduct yourself lovingly. Do everything you can to help, not hinder, someone’s walk with God.
