When you’re down and out, you might think no one knows what you’re going through…no one can relate to the things you’ve had to endure. But in today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny expresses that God knows and relates to your pain and your sorrow. He knows the unique circumstances you’re going through….they’re like one-of-a-kind snowflakes that have your personal imprint on them. God knows, and He cares about the sorrows you’ve been through, and He wants to make it right!

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie that doesn’t have a villain? It’s pretty uncommon. The truth is…the concept of good and evil has been woven into the very fibers of who we are…because all of history points back to the truth that there’s good and evil in the world. Pastor Johnny wants you to be very aware today of the evil enemy that’s hunting you down…trying to destroy you. But you don’t have to give in to that enemy. You can choose God and His love, over evil and the devil.

There are times when you appreciate something even more, because you know you didn’t deserve it. Maybe you didn’t finish all the work you had to do, but your boss gives you the day off anyway. Or there was that chore that’s been on your to-do list, and someone else did it for you, so you wouldn’t have to. Today, Pastor Johnny helps you see that you have a free invitation into heaven, not because of how great you are, but because you are being given something you don’t deserve…and you can take it!

The wind is an interesting thing. It can be a calm breeze that soothes and relaxes you. It can also be a forceful gust that stirs up the landscape, and can uproot trees and houses in a “perfect storm.” Well today, Pastor Johnny is speaking of something that’s kind of like the wind. You can’t see it physically, but you know it’s there. It can be a quiet whisper, a gentle nudge, or sometimes, a convicting word, that you just can’t get out of your head. This mysterious thing is the Holy Spirit inside of you.

Who do you align with politically? Check. What gender do you identify with? Check. Do you believe in a Creator or that the world just came about mysteriously? Check. What’s your take on abortion? Check. All the hot topics of the day are things that you need to care about. But it’s not your personal opinion or emotions that should be the deciding factor. Pastor Johnny lets you know today that what you should be aligning with is what God’s Word says about all of these things. Check the truth!

The best way to stay up on a skill is to continue doing it regularly. If you’re on a swim team, you’re going to get better and better, the more you’re in the water! Well, think of the Bible as being the water that you need to dive into….every day! Today, Pastor Johnny helps you see that the more you’re involved in what God has to say, the less likely you’ll be to give in to what the world wants you to believe. Allowing yourself to enter into the world’s philosophies could cause you to drown.

Plenty of people don’t care for solicitors who come to your door, trying to sell something that probably isn’t life-altering. Well, Jesus is no door-to-door salesman. He’s bringing and offering something that is earth-shattering for your life, and you may not even realize that you need it. Pastor Johnny teaches today, on what it means to truly follow Jesus, to follow His call, and to live out a life that’s committed to staying with God. You’re not willing to bail at a moment’s notice when things get hard.

Picture yourself in the worst possible place that you could imagine. Maybe that would be stuck in another country, or being put in prison for something you didn’t do. Do you think it could be possible for you to have joy if you were in that kind of place? Well today, Pastor Johnny helps you understand how a man who was in these very circumstances chose to have joy, and where that source of strength came from. Listen to what it means to have true joy, and do your best to live that out today!

Whether you’re a child or an adult, you know what it’s like to be asked to obey someone or something. Maybe it’s the traffic light that you’re expected to obey. Or if you’re a parent, you call your kids to obey simple tasks, like cleaning up their rooms. Obedience is something that honors the one who has asked. In today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny talks about obedience to God being most important. By doing this, you’re showing Him that you love Him and that you’re willing to do things His way.
