Did you ever think that when you became a Christian, there would be no more battles? We aren't promised a life with no struggles, heartache, or temptation – even after coming to Christ. Pastor Johnny reminds us that being honest and recognizing your struggles is actually a good thing!

If you've ever been part of a team where each member didn't pull their own weight, you realized quickly how uneven the workload became. Pastor Johnny teaches today that once you've received confirmation from the Lord, it's important to act on His leading. It's truly an honor to serve the King!

Being tender and loving towards those who have wronged you is a true testament to a changed life for Christ. Pastor Johnny reminds us today to lean into David's song. Let go of bitterness, hold no grudges, and ask the Lord to help you have a change of heart towards someone who has crossed you in the past.

It's a fact that 100% of Christians still struggle with sin. We are saved and redeemed and bound for heaven as a Child of God, yet we still suffer from sin and temptation. Pastor Johnny reminds us in that struggle, to flee from sinful behavior and actions because it will only get worse if left alone.

If you compare your life against the lives of unbelievers you know, how does it look different? Is it because you don’t drink or smoke or hang out with people that do? Is it because you have a Christian bumper sticker on your car? Or is it because you demonstrate the love and grace that Jesus demonstrated for you? As Pastor Johnny will explain in today’s message, following Jesus will mean avoiding sin, but it’s equally important that you do things that glorify Him and spread His Gospel.

You’re going to encounter pushback and arguments from people in the Church over unbiblical and non-essentials – being an imperfect body of redeemed humans, those remnants of our old nature are inevitable. But unity amongst believers is extremely important to God. He wants us to be known for our love for Him as well as one another. As Pastor Johnny will encourage us in today’s message, you need to put your “pet” issues aside and look at your fellow believers through the eyes of grace.

Serving God should always be about Him. Whether you’re restocking toilet paper, wiping tables, or up on stage using your talents, it’s all about Him. Sadly, we see a lot of people who enjoy being in the limelight claiming glory and attention for their works that belongs to God. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will point out that serving God is the job of a servant. Your reward is the joy that comes with fulfilling your purpose as a worshipper and glorifying God with your words and deeds.

Many people get really upset if you suggest that some people won’t get into heaven. It’s an offensive thought that God would judge any human being to the point of denying them eternal rest. The thing is, it’s not God who’s denying them anything – it’s their own choice. God has made a way for anyone who will come to Him. As Pastor Johnny will warn in today’s message, it’s only when you choose not to accept that invitation that you choose an eternity of separation from Him.

Many believers in western, first-world countries could accurately be described as soft. Really the majority of us fit that description. We can certainly be thankful that we have religious freedom with minimal persecution and oppression, but in many countries where Christianity is illegal, you’ll find believers who don’t have the convenience of being lukewarm. As Pastor Johnny will point out in today’s message, when your faith could cost you your freedom or even your life, you have to take it seriously.

This is one of the most fundamental commandments for those who follow Jesus, yet it seems to be one of the hardest to live by. We allow petty differences and varied interpretations of Scripture to drive wedges between us. It’s sad and all too common amongst Christians. It not only creates unnecessary struggles in our own lives and church communities, but it reflects poorly on the Church as a whole, as well as our Savior who demonstrated incredible grace for us. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind us of the higher calling we have to love one another.
