The truth isn’t negotiable. There are elements of Scripture that can be interpreted in different ways, but who Jesus is isn’t a gray area. As Pastor Johnny will point out in today’s message, the only way to access God is by placing your faith in Jesus to save you from sin and redeem your sinful heart.

In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will challenge you to do a deep, honest heart inspection. Have you given Jesus a little piece of your heart and life - mostly just Sunday morning and maybe a prayer before your meals? God desires your whole heart. Scripture warns that He spits out the lukewarm followers. 

We need to be so careful not to let this happen to our own hearts or our congregations. The comfort we experience in the modern world can easily lull you into a spiritual sleep. As Pastor Johnny studies the letter to the church of Sardis, we’ll find them in this state of slumber, desperate, and in need of revival.

In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will warn you not to misunderstand God’s blessings in your life. Success socially or in your career doesn’t always indicate God’s approval of what you’re doing. If you’re in sin, His favor on your life is because He’s a gracious God who’s patiently waiting for you to come to Him.

Satan is no fool. He knows the power of persuasion that women typically have over men. As Pastor Johnny will point out in today’s message, he’s been effectively using this tactic since the Garden of Eden. If he can lead the wife astray, before long the husband is much more likely to fall into sinfulness.

The Church has grown entirely too comfortable with corruption within our ranks. We may mean well - we want to treat others with grace - but that doesn’t mean we should allow and even approve of sin. Today, as Pastor Johnny examines the letter to the church of Thyatira, we’ll be warned against corruption within the Church.

The power and positions of this world will pass away. So will all the stuff that comes with wealth. Yet, we find many believers and entire churches that have compromised the Gospel for the sake of these things. Today, Pastor Johnny will warn against this dangerous trend, and challenge you to stand strong in the Gospel.

The god Balaam may not be familiar in our world so far removed from the antiquated idea of gods and goddesses, but the sin he represented is still prevalent in our society. As Pastor Johnny will warn us in today’s message, we need to focus our energy on our Savior and His Word - not on the shiny things our neighbors have. 

Fear of this world or the ruler of darkness doesn’t belong in the heart of a believer. To let it in is to let a loser maintain power even after his authority in your life has been removed. As Pastor Johnny will remind us in today’s message, Jesus has already secured our victory and we need to stand fast in Him and His truth.

Praise God for the life-giving power of those words! His love is more powerful than the vilest of sin. As Pastor Johnny continues our study of Jesus’ letters to the seven Churches, we’ll be reminded of how great God’s love is for us. Nothing in this world can separate you from that love once you’ve accepted it into your heart.

While you may mean well, when you encounter someone in the depth of a trial, you don’t need to have the answers for them. You don’t need to figure out why they’re there. As Pastor Johnny will point out in today’s message, at that moment, just being there with them is a better help than trying to fix their problem.

Why is it so easy to find excuses not to go to church? Maybe it’s too rainy, or maybe it’s a beautiful day and your fishing rod is calling… As Pastor Johnny will point out in today’s message, it’s sobering to think that there are people who are willing to die for the Kingdom of God, while we struggle to give up our Sunday morning. 

As Pastor Johnny will point out in today’s message, this is all too common in today’s Church. You can readily find congregations and entire denominations that won’t even reference Scripture, or worse, the name of Jesus, for fear of offending or coming off as radical. Jesus should be our entire reason for existing as the Church.

Have you ever tried walking up a hill covered with wet grass? It’s an exercise. One carelessly placed step can easily send you sliding down the hill. As Pastor Johnny will warn in today’s message, as believers, we can easily find ourselves sliding back into sin - we need the hand of the Holy Spirit to pull us along.

In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will examine Jesus’ letter to the church of Ephesus. Usually, it’s polite not to read other people’s mail, but in this case, the Church of Ephesus - while a real group of believers, also represents a type of believer or church, and bears the truth that all of us can benefit from.

God is not done with Israel. His relationship with them demonstrates his long-suffering and unfathomable grace. They were chosen to be a blessing to all nations and point them toward Him. But, as Pastor Johnny will point out in today’s message, sadly, the majority of them have rejected God’s Son. 

You’ve been given a great gift in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You’ve heard it. Have you taken it into your heart? As Pastor Johnny will challenge us in today’s message, once you take this life-giving message into your heart, you need to let it come to the surface of your life as a witness to the lost people around you.

No human being can know the day or hour that Jesus will return. God’s perspective on time is much different than ours, but as Pastor Johnny will warn in today’s message when we look at the world around us, events and circumstances seem to be closely aligned with the prophecies we find in the book of Revelation.

In your walk with Christ, have you ever felt weary from your work for the Kingdom? Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything you can for the Lord, but the closeness just isn’t there? In today’s message, Pastor Johnny wants you to know that no matter how difficult the going gets, you need to always stick to who you are through the Lord. There will always be confusing seasons of feeling disconnected from God, but you can’t use these times to grow even further from Him. Always turn to God. He’ll never let you down. 

One of the biggest misconceptions about God is the notion that He sends people to hell. We might see signs on university campuses or social media posts declaring that God will send you to hell if you don’t repent, but this isn’t the truth. Today, Pastor Johnny explains that the only thing God wants is to usher you into His kingdom. You shouldn’t feel scared straight into accepting God into your heart and instead should make the decision on your own accord. God will never force you, but He wants to dwell with you in eternity.
