Walking in Truth

Jesus came so that you can have life and have it abundantly! As you listen to today's message from Pastor Johnny, he reassures you that the light always shines the brightest in the darkest of times. Just because it might be a dark or a season of hardship now, doesn't mean that the light of the Lord isn't present. Pastor Johnny urges you, to keep finding the ways that the Lord is making Himself known within the darkness. His light always shines. Ask Him through prayer to reveal Himself to you in this season.

Don't look to others as your security for salvation. Today, you learn from Pastor Johnny's message that every single person on this earth has to come to Jesus themselves in order to be saved. No amount of infant baptism, generations of faith, or good works can earn you right standing before the Lord. Pastor Johnny explains that you must be born-again. You must admit that you're a sinner in need of grace. And to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Ask the Lord to come into your heart today.

The Lord is completely sovereign over all things! In today's message from Pastor Johnny, he reassures you that nothing is a surprise to the Lord. The Lord is the beginning and the end. His character never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Pastor Johnny encourages you, that Jesus has all authority and dominion. His name as the Bible says is above every other name. And at the end of the age, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is indeed Lord.

Do you realize that as a disciple of Jesus Christ, that you've been entrusted with a life-saving message? As you listen to today's message from Pastor Johnny, he explains to you that the Lord has commanded all of His disciples to share the Good News of Jesus. To explain to those around you that Jesus loves them has died and has risen for them. Pastor Johnny encourages you, to not get fearful when it comes to sharing. The Holy Spirit will help you to witness and to tell about Jesus when you need it.

Our world is so divided over big issues and small ones, and even just someone’s bumper sticker or t-shirt might set you off against them. You’ll label them as the enemy before they’ve even spoken a word. Even with lifelong friends, debates over politics or responses to COVID have created rifts that seem impassable. As Pastor Johnny will encourage us in today’s message, all of us need the love of Jesus. We need to welcome each other in and see each other with the value that God sees in us.

The human body has 78 different organs. Many of those systems have jobs that we don’t really think about – or want to think about for that matter. But if those functions aren’t happening the way they’re designed to, you’ll realize their importance. As Pastor Johnny will remind us in today’s message, the Church of Jesus Christ is a body with even more parts and functions. It can be a challenge to figure out how all of us work together, but if our focus is on serving Christ and each other, we’re on the right track!

The Gifts of the Spirit are a fascinating subject that has been at the heart of great movements in the Church as well as many controversies. As a believer in Jesus, He wants to fill you with His Holy Spirit. When that happens, He bears fruit in your life. That fruit will look different based on His will and the specific ways He gifts you, but ultimately, those gifts are meant to be used for His glory. As Pastor Johnny will remind us in today’s message, we’re called to be Christ’s hands and feet in this world.

Everything you see belongs to God. He can do whatever He wants with it. Do you think He really needs your help? He can easily accomplish His will without us, but that’s not how He wants to do it. As Pastor Johnny will explain in today’s message, you don’t bring anything to the table that God doesn’t already have – except for your willingness to be a part of His mission. That’s what He wants most of all – a willing heart. That’s where you’ll experience real success – resting in the center of His will.
