Walking in Truth

Transformers are popular these days. They’re in the movies, they’re mass-produced as toys for young children. But what if being a transformer Christian was popular? It would change the world! Today, Pastor Johnny talks about the difference between conforming to the world and transforming the world.  

Perhaps you’ve come across people or organizations that seem anti-Christian. It feels like there’s a personal offense they have against you. But Pastor Johnny reminds you today that it’s not you they’re against. Their issue is with Christ Who lives in you. So continue to show God’s love to them, without compromising His standards.

Amen, Pastor Johnny! No truer words have been spoken. When you make that commitment to following Jesus, you’re turning away from the sin and darkness that this world wants to offer, and you’re reorienting toward the light and the truth that Jesus holds. Pastor Johnny’s message today should give you hope beyond this world.

What a wonderful and reassuring thing to hear – that even if you’ve messed up, God’s waiting there with open arms to bring you back to Himself. Are you at the end of the line? Do you think you have nowhere else to go? Do you think you’re too dirty for God to clean up? Pastor Johnny’s message today tells you otherwise.

Going for a walk with a close friend is such a joy. You learn more about them, and they get to know you better too. When you do this regularly, your relationship grows and gets stronger. Today, Pastor Johnny shares the benefits of following and obeying Jesus. He also mentions the drawbacks of ignoring God’s commands.

God’s not playing games, in an effort to confuse and disorient you. No, God makes it clear in His Word what He wants of you. He simply desires for you to hear His Word, and to follow it wholeheartedly. Pastor Johnny’s message today is about what it looks like to obey and follow God, and by doing that, you show your love for Him!

What does it mean to walk in The Spirit? Pastor Johnny describes several practical steps to walk in The Spirit. Walk in the same way that Jesus did, submitted to The Father. Another step in this walk is to love others as Jesus loves them. Lastly, pursue a Holy life in all that you do and think. Do you walk in The Spirit?

We tend to think that if our ministry is bearing fruit that God is pleased. But, as Pastor Johnny says today, this is not always the case. Sometimes God cuts down what seems to be fruitful so that better and more fruit can grow. Did God ever prune you? It hurts, doesn't it? God knows what He's doing. Trust Him!

Does this sound like you? You're abiding in the vine, yet you feel down in the dumps. Pastor Johnny teaches today that part of the pruning process is to cleanse the fruit by removing the dirt and pests that cling to you. Do you need to be refreshed? May The Holy Spirit clean out your heart today and make it fresh and new again. 

If you obey Jesus, why? Is it because you love Him or because it’s your duty? Today, Pastor Johnny says obedience should be because you love Jesus. Your motivation for loving Him shows the quality of your relationship with Him. A healthy relationship breeds love. May your motivation for obeying Jesus be pure and right.
