Walking In Truth

Unity can be tricky. Today, Pastor Johnny offers some guidance on unity with other folks. We can't validate beliefs that are contrary to The Bible. Do you base your beliefs on God's Word or on your opinion? No matter how strongly held, your opinions don't supersede God's Word. God's Word will stand the test of time. Will you?

That good news has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with Jesus. Today, Pastor Johnny is talking about Jesus’ salvation, and how even before you were born, He was praying for you and wants you to come to a saving knowledge of who He is. Keep listening - to learn more about this truth that rescues and brings new life!

You just heard one of the most important points in Scripture. God has you here for a purpose. So even when things are hard or discouraging, remember that God has placed you right where you are, and He’s praying for your protection. Today, Pastor Johnny brings home the point that wanting an easy exit out of this world isn’t the answer.

Oh how important unity is! People tend to discount the gravity of it all, but when people are not united, everything crumbles. So as you listen to Pastor Johnny teach today, remember to major on the majors, and minor on the minors. Seek to be unified in what God’s Word says, and don’t allow divisions to create rifts in relationships.

So run that race, don’t hold back, and don’t give up. Pastor Johnny mentions today that it’s possible to push hard, to run with all your might, and to finish well in your spiritual journey. Too many are quitting when it comes to spiritual things. But you’re not a quitter; you’re a fighter, and you can finish the race!

You’re stumbling around in a dark room. Before you know it, you’ve stubbed your toe. Then your eyes are struggling to see anything because all you see is thick, black darkness all around you. This is how it is to be living in the sinful world. Pastor Johnny reminds you today that all you need is the light of Jesus to light the way.

It’s understandable; you want to get married, have kids, see your family progress and grow up. But as you’ll hear Pastor Johnny teach about today – looking forward to Jesus’ return should be more important than anything else you want to experience. There should be an eager expectation for Him to return – even today!

Any hard-fought battle requires people who are willing to be courageous. Don’t let the fear of man or this world be what drives you. Allow the reverent fear of God to be what motivates you to stand up for Christ, being confident that He’ll make things right. Today, Pastor Johnny speaks about being joyful, even through the hard things.

Did you know that Jesus cried when He lived on earth? He understood sorrow, grief, sadness, loss, and disappointment. As soon as you’re tempted to believe that Jesus has no clue about how you feel in your sorrow, think again! Pastor Johnny offers some words of comfort today, teaching about hope beyond the sadness.

You’ve had a really bad day and the last thing you need to hear is even one more bit of bad news. If you thought you were at rock bottom, the most recent event just took it to another level. In today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny wants you to know that the message that Jesus was giving was not meant to discourage but to encourage.

That’s something to think about today. What are you doing in the name of Jesus? And for those who don’t know God personally yet, what are you doing with the name of Jesus? Pastor Johnny lays it out clearly today that if you’re not a follower of Jesus, you’re following someone else, and that’s Satan. Choose who you’ll follow into eternity!

Getting caught up in rituals and religious practices is a real pitfall. Too often, people fixate on what they need to DO to get it right, to make it to heaven. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny gives a clear reminder that it’s through God’s grace that you’re saved, not through works or self-righteousness. God grants you entry by His love.

If you’re putting all kinds of pressure on yourself about what you need to do to get your best friend to come to Jesus, remember what Pastor Johnny’s talking about today. God’s Spirit is what does the heavy lifting. You’re just meant to be there to offer assistance, but step aside and let God do what He plans to do!

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?
