Walking in Truth

You’re well-familiar with a crafty politician, or a sleazy car salesman. Neither one of these are trustworthy, but with their tactics, they can convince many to buy into what’s being sold. Well here’s a newsflash for you. Satan, the devil, is just like the crafty politician and the sleazy car salesman. He’s selling something that can’t be trusted, and Pastor Johnny will talk today about where these tactics will lead you. But there’s a better way! You don’t have to give in to the shiny, but shallow message.

When you look at how quickly children grow, it’s obvious that their bones and their development progresses at a rapid rate. You see it in their height, and how they learn and process things. So why would it be any different in how you grow as a follower of Jesus? Today, Pastor Johnny states that there should be noticeable growth in your relationship with God, as evidence that you’re staying close to Him and His Word. Not only are you reading and listening to these things, but you’re obeying too!

When you water a tree and give it fertilizer, it’s going to thrive and grow bigger. If you leave it alone and don’t pay any attention to that tree, it likely will die. Well in today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny expresses the downside of feeding or watering something inside of you that can grow and fester into something dangerous for your soul. In this case, he’s asking you to disregard that thing, and to let it die because it’s actually better for you to give as little attention to it as possible - for your good!

Everyone’s trying to find their personal truth….what matters to them and what they deem worthy of being true. But the truth is not some personalized mantra. Today, Pastor Johnny talks about how the very core of truth itself is found in the Word of God…the Bible! If you’re looking for it anywhere else, you’re going to hit a dead-end, and have to back-track to return to the path that will lead you to a real destination…heaven! So hear more today about finding the actual truth that God has for you!

The show, “Survivor,” has had a long-running for years, and it’s shown to be popular. There’s a natural curiosity of seeing how people will actually survive, when they’re in a dire situation, without the normal necessities. Well today, Pastor Johnny explains the three essential things you need to survive in life…water, food, and light. These are not just the everyday provisions that you might be used to. He’s talking about a spiritual water, a sustaining food, and a supernatural light!

When you’re traveling, a layover isn’t your favorite part of the trip, right? It’s just something that you tolerate, but are looking forward to where you’re going for your final destination. Well in today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny expresses that this life here on earth is just a passing phase. It’s like a layover that you’re enduring, but you have a better place to be and to go-to - for the long-term. Aren’t you glad that your life won’t forever be like a boring layover at an airport, with nowhere else to go?

In a politically correct society, you don’t dare say that there’s only one way to do something. If you do, that means you’re purposefully excluding plenty of people, and that would be hateful. In today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny provides a recap of where he’s been in the book of John, and where the life and ministry of Jesus are going as he continues on. Rather than worrying about how others perceive your message, how about knowing the message, believing it, and receiving it today?

A spotlight on a stage brings attention to what’s in its path. But the space all around that spotlight is in utter darkness. Interestingly, that just causes what’s in the spotlight to shine even brighter. In today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny is expressing that you can be in the path of that spotlight, shining bright, despite the dark world that’s all around you. You may not realize the impact or effect that you’ll have on the dark stage that surrounds you, but if you stay following the light, you’ll dazzle!

Surely you’re familiar with the childhood game of pin the tail on the donkey. But what makes this game so difficult - is that you’re blindfolded, which makes it extra hard to pin the tail correctly on the target. When you can’t see because of the dark, you’re wandering to-and-fro…unsure of where to go next. Today, Pastor Johnny exposes the darkness for what it really is, and helps you see that being and walking in the light is so much better! So take the blindfold off and walk freely in the light of God!

You’ve enlisted in the military, and now you’re in some special-ops force that only the very best are invited into.

You’re trustworthy and are entrusted with a particular campaign that’s intended to have a successful outcome. Well, think of yourself in this way when it comes to following Jesus too! Pastor Johnny reminds you today that you’re in God’s army, and He wants you to be ready to fight!
