Walking in Truth

Have you ever been confused about how much to adapt our approach to sharing our faith? As we follow the life and times of King David, we discover even way back then how methods may differ. Pastor Johnny reminds us today that it's with careful prayer and study of the Word that you maintain the truth of our doctrine.

When you face a struggle, your attitude and actions matter a lot. Pastor Johnny teaches today that the opportunity to walk closer to Jesus comes in the midst of hard times. We are learning from the examples in the story of King David how to ask the Lord to draw you closer, even during times when you may not naturally “feel” it.

Have you ever known someone who followed a leader blindly? Respect for those in authority doesn't mean discernment goes out the window. As Pastor Johnny teaches today, you'll learn how your role in the leadership of any kind is a high honor to carry out with integrity and wholesome intent.

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.
