Walking in Truth

Have you ever found yourself in a broken place? In a place where your marriage is falling apart? In a place where your family is a complete mess? In a place where your job has become mundane and boring? Have you ever found yourself in a place of emptiness, where you feel lost and alone? Today Pastor Johnny wants you to know that there is hope and you are not alone. God loves you and He sees you. Don’t be afraid to sit at His and read His Word. He has all the answers you need.

Jesus. There has never been a sweeter name nor greater gift. Today Pastor Johnny teaches about faith and how it is only through Jesus, that you can be saved. Many teach that you must pray a certain way in order to be saved from sin. Others would say that you need to complete a list of tasks in order to be saved from sin. But the Bible teaches that Jesus is the way to salvation. It is by the deep of love God and His grace that you can be saved. Jesus. There has never been a sweeter name nor greater gift.

It’s easy to get lost in all the voices of the media world. But as you listen to today’s message with Pastor Johnny, you’ll be challenged to reevaluate the voices you’re listening to. Because who you listen to greatly impacts what you believe and how you live. If you’re listening to voices that speak things, not of God, chances are you’ll lead an ungodly life. But if you’re listening to the voice of God and leaning on His Word, chances are you’ll live a life of truth. What voices are you listening to today?

Philippians 1:29 says, “For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him but also to suffer for him…” If you were to look at the lives of Jesus’ disciples, you would find great persecution. They were exiled, stoned, and even crucified…all because they believed in Jesus. Today Pastor Johnny will teach that you too should expect persecution. Now though persecution seems frightening, it isn’t forever. Weeping may last for the night, but Joy comes in the morning.

Whoever said following Jesus would be easy, didn’t really know what they were talking about. Jesus, Himself even said that if the world hated Him, the world would hate His followers too. Now don’t let this discourage you from walking with the Lord. Though it’s not easy, walking in His ways is rewarding. As Pastor Johnny teaches today, ask God to give you the endurance you need to step into the calling He has on your life. You’ll find that life with Jesus won’t be easy. But it will be full of love, grace, and truth.

In his letters to Timothy, Paul wrote, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” Today Pastor Johnny will encourage you in the same way Paul encouraged Timothy. Don’t let your age, social status, or giftings stop you from believing God can use you. Because He can. The Lord has incredible ways of using unexpected people to do His work. Just because you think you’re weak. doesn’t mean you are.

Everyone at one point or another thinks about the end of the world. Movies are even constantly being made about the variety of ways it could end. But if you read the Bible, you already know how it ends. However, as Pastor Johnny will share in today’s message, there are many who would have you believe otherwise. The Bible calls these people false teachers or wolves in sheep’s clothing. Always compare what you hear, watch and read to the Word of God. If it doesn’t align, don’t absorb it.

Did you know that thousands of years ago, Lucifer – also known as Satan – was an angel? In fact, he was one of the most beautiful angels ever created. So how did he fall so far to become the devil…the evil one? Pride. Pride led him to believe he could not only do better than God but that he could be better than God. As Pastor Johnny teaches from 2 Timothy in today’s message, you’ll learn that you also have a selfish nature. That pride is something you too must fight. Don’t let pride win.

Jesus was once a promise to come, and He came. Then He was the promised one to save, and He saved. Now He’s the promised one to come and restore all that is broken, and He will. For many, though, the promise of His return is frightening. But as you’ll learn from Pastor Johnny in today’s message, if you know the Lord, you have nothing to fear. If you are afraid, take a moment to look at your life. Does who you reflect Jesus? If not, maybe you’re afraid of His return because you do not know Him.

Out of all the things you may hear today, let these words be the ones you play repeatedly: “God loves you.” And no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, He will always love you. Today, Pastor Johnny teaches about the realness of Jesus and how His death was the ultimate “I love you” from God. If you think you’re not good enough for His love, you’re wrong. If you think you’re too far gone for His love, you’re wrong. If you think there is no way He could love you, you’re wrong. He loves you deeply.
