Walking in Truth

In today's message, Pastor Johnny teaches us, about a situation in King Davids's family, that went from bad to worse. It might sound like something out of a soap opera, but unfortunately, it really happened. Let us learn from these tragic events so that we won't be doomed to repeat them ourselves.

This may sound random, but when you came to Christ, the laws of gravity remained the same. Just as gravity is intact for all people, so are the consequences of our actions, whether Christian or not. As Pastor Johnny teaches today, you'll learn how human relationships carry with them logical effects when things go south.

As Pastor Johnny teaches today, you'll learn just how easily the “Greats” of scripture fell into sin, much like you and me. The Lord gets all the glory because there really isn't a perfect hero except Jesus. Pastor Johnny reminds us that as we struggle, even in private, victory can be yours through the power of our Lord.

Do you want to hear the best news today? Efforts to love your sin less aren't the answer. That really hearkens back to “works.” As Pastor Johnny teaches today, you'll learn the key is loving God more. It's a relief, especially if you have ever tried so hard to avoid, abstain, and resist to the point where it almost becomes obsessive.

Have you ever sensed a connection with your Biblical ancestors, the characters we read about in the Bible? As Pastor Johnny teaches today, you'll learn how both the blessings and missteps of those figures are manifest out of both the grace of God and the natural consequences of sin. The same is with you.

Have you ever looked back at a really bad time in your life with gratitude? Sounds strange at first, right? As Pastor Johnny teaches today, you'll learn that the places where we may have been the most scared, nervous, or unsure are oftentimes the places where God shows up in a supernatural way. Keep the faith!

A question I challenge myself with is one you might be challenged by also: Do we trust God or do we just say we trust God? As Pastor Johnny teaches today, you'll learn that even during times of our life when we think there is no good to come from the situation we are in, trusting God becomes the only way through.

Pastor Johnny teaches today that God's loving kindness doesn't mean God places us in a bubble that prevents our “human-ness” while here on Earth. Even the one whom God called “A Man After My Own Heart” experienced the natural consequences of his actions. Pastor Johnny reminds us that His love is behind it all!

Pastor Johnny teaches today the truth shines brightly in the face of a righteous fight. We are learning more about that through the life of King David. Pastor Johnny reminds us that revival begins in our community of faith. Let's continue to pray for revival. Let's seek Him as a response to such love!

Do you believe prayer changes things? There certainly is power in prayer. Pastor Johnny teaches today that prayer isn't reserved for quiet time or church. It's a challenge to be a person who “prays at the drop of a hat!” As we remember from the life of King David, seek the Lord continually!
