Walking in Truth

When you go to the airport, and you intend to travel to another country, you have to show proof that you belong to the country you’re from. You show physical proof that you’re a citizen of that country. Well today, Pastor Johnny talks about being a citizen of another place. The proof or passport, if you will, of being from another place, is your belief in Jesus, and what He’s done for you. Are you committed to standing behind the country you were born in here on earth, or are you loyal to a heavenly place?

You hear plenty of people state that they would die for someone they love. But what about making a choice where you die for your own good? Not dying in a literal way with your body, but in a spiritual way, from your flesh, and your sin. This is the best way you can show your true love for Jesus..by laying down your desires, your pride, your rebellion, and coming to a place of surrender and peace, with the One who holds it all together. Pastor Johnny teaches today on what it means to really love.

You made it through one of the hardest seasons of your life, with your spouse by your side. He went with you to all the appointments, sat with you while you had treatment, and remained faithful to you as you recovered from the damage the treatment did to your body. That kind of love that you received is a glimpse of the love God has for you. Today, Pastor Johnny helps you understand that by loving others, you’re showing God’s love to the world, and it speaks volumes to those who are watching.

Most people associate a supernatural ability with flying or being invisible. Did you know there’s a supernatural power that you can display, simply by knowing and believing in Jesus? This superpower is called love. But it’s not the, “I’m in love with you” kind of love. Today, Pastor Johnny explains that God’s kind of love goes beyond human standards, and requires His input for you to be able to have it. It’s a love that’s willing to sacrifice, and is purposeful and intentional, even when someone doesn’t deserve it.

There’s something about being in the dark. It makes you feel a bit uneasy, and unsure about what could be around the corner. There’s a sense of danger and evil that’s hard to explain. Today, Pastor Johnny gets into how a man, who followed Jesus His whole ministry, ended up playing the part, but he’d never bought into the message that Jesus came for. Instead, this man was used as a tool in the enemy’s toolbox, to bring about the greatest betrayal of all time. This is what happens in the darkness.

If you ever walk around barefoot, you know how dirty and grimy your feet become. You get home, and there’s a film of black on your soles, because of the dirt you picked up along the way. This is what it’s like, as you live your life in a world that’s full of filth and corruption. Some of it might rub onto you, and it’s hard to get it off at times, trying to scrub yourself clean from what’s affected you. Well today, Pastor Johnny helps you see that Jesus provides you the type of cleansing you need from the world.

There’s a certain level of satisfaction, being served a nice meal at a restaurant, where you don’t have to do any of the prep work for the meal. The tasty food comes to you, and you just get to enjoy it, without worrying about having to do the dishes. But what if you were on the other side of things? Would you be able to have the same attitude if the roles were reversed, and you were the one serving food and doing dishes? Could you enjoy it as fully? Well today, Pastor Johnny talks about the benefits of serving.

When you’re an undercover cop, you’re trying to disguise yourself as a normal civilian so that criminals don’t suspect that you’re going to arrest them. But when you become a follower of Christ, you shouldn’t be trying to hide who you are, and what you stand for. Pastor Johnny says today that you need to care most about what God thinks of you, and by doing that, then you can be genuine and real with those around you, as to what you believe, and why. Those people deserve to know the real you!

You’re driving on a highway, and you approach an intersection, where multiple roads meet. The roads are from different directions, but they all meet here at this one place. Well in today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny relays how Jesus’ death and resurrection were the perfect intersecting of all the things from the past, connecting with the future. What Jesus did there on the cross has huge significance for the world as a whole, but also for you individually! God wants your heart to intersect with Him!

You might look back on a situation and realize there were some good and valid reasons why that played out the way it did. It may not have made sense at the moment, but you come to appreciate why it happened, as you reflect on it more and more. Likely, this is how the disciples felt, after experiencing Jesus’ death on the cross. They didn’t understand it all as it was happening, but they came to learn the reasons why He did it. Today, Pastor Johnny further explains why Jesus came to die.
