Parents often expect complete obedience from their children but fail to lead them and love them like Christ. Children are a gift from God. And when you’re too strict and controlling, too loose and uncaring, or critical and fault-finding, you provoke them to disobedience, and cause them to stray. Today, Pastor John will encourage you, as parents, to give your children boundaries and rules as well as unconditional love and guidance. You can’t ever hope for or expect them to obey if you rule them in sin. 

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Colossians chapter 3 as he continues his message Christ in the Home – Children.

Often children will easily obey their parents when it suits them and completely disregard them in all other moments. But, God gives the command to honor your parents and obey them in all areas of life. As Pastor John teaches today, your obedience doesn’t just please your parents; it glorifies God and pleases Him immensely. A Godly mom or dad seeks to lead and love you like Christ and corrects and guides you to bring you the most blessing. So, humbly submit to your parents, trusting them to know best.

Some men will bitterly say that their wives don’t deserve their love because of one reason or another. But, the bible clearly states that God loves you despite your sins and shortcomings. No one deserves His love. But He loves you deeply. And God goes further to command you to love your wife likewise. Today, Pastor John will describe the love you are to have for your wife. It should be sacrificial, edifying, tender, and unbreakable. Cherish her. Support her. Help her grow in her faith. Give of yourself to make her better.

Women in most cultures were ignored, unfairly treated, and unloved for centuries, even by God’s people. So the command Paul gave to early believers to love their wives was quite shocking.  But God so valued and loved women Himself, and He wanted them to be loved by their husbands in the same way. And as Pastor John teaches today, God commanded it to be an ongoing, continual love, not a one-time thing. It’s not an emotion or feeling; it’s a choice to love your wife as Jesus loves. 

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Colossians chapter 3 as he begins his message Christ in the Home - Husbands.

Happily married couples are a somewhat rare thing in our world today. In fact, some couples avoid marriage because of their flawed understanding of what will be required of them. Christian women struggle with the idea of submission in marriage. But, Pastor John teaches today that submission isn’t slavery or about control. It doesn’t mean the woman is inferior. The husband and wife are equal in God’s eyes. He designed marriage and gave the command for wives to submit to provide order in the home.

When you see tragedy and brokenness in the world around you, it can be tempting to believe that God isn’t a God of love. How can He allow such sorrow if He loves us? Well, today, Pastor John will reveal the undeniable truth that God is a God of deep and unbelievable love for His children. He sent Jesus, His son, to the earth as a baby to grow and become a man who would die upon the cross to save ANY who would believe and trust in Him. The world is broken because of sin, but God loves you so much He sent Jesus!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 John chapter 4 for his message To Reveal The Father’s Love.

Most people don’t want to acknowledge Satan is real, or they view him as simply a comical character in a red suit. But, as Pastor John teaches today, scripture repeatedly confirms the reality of the devil. He’s very real and seeking those to destroy. But we aren’t without hope! God sent Jesus to earth to save those destined for hell, defeating death and destroying the work of the devil.  He’ll ultimately be a defeated foe, but until Jesus returns, he is still at work in the world.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 John chapter 3 for his message To Destroy the Works of the Devil.

Sin came into the world and shattered what God had created. From then on, mankind has been utterly sinful. Sin is man’s greatest problem, forever separating us from God and dooming us to hell. Until God, in His mercy, sent the solution to this need. He sent Jesus as a baby to grow up, die on the cross and rise from the dead to take away our sins. Today, Pastor John will explain that through Jesus, you’re forgiven and saved! God sees you as if you’d never sinned if you placed your faith in Jesus.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 John chapter 3 for his message To Take Away Our Sins.

All too often, the Christmas season can turn into a season of chaos, stress, and misery trying to get everything done. Instead, the beautiful reality of Christmas – Christ coming to earth as a baby, should bring you great joy. Today, Pastor John will encourage you to realize the abundant joy possible when you celebrate all Jesus accomplished by coming to earth. You have the joy of eternal salvation.  And you have the joy of a relationship with Almighty God as His child right now. 

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 John chapter 1 as he continues his message To Bring Us Eternal Life.

Some people may question why in the world Jesus came to earth. It’s hard to wrap our minds around Jesus, the son of God, God Himself, coming to earth as a human. It wasn’t without a great purpose. Today, Pastor John will explain the incredible reasons Jesus came to earth, as a baby. He came to bring eternal life, not just an extended life, but an everlasting life with God Himself, in heaven. He came to save humanity so those who believe in Him will have great, glorious, eternal life with Him.
