With all the temptations and deceit this world has to offer, it can be overwhelming to believe how we can resist it all. We think, “Will we be swept away? We're not strong enough.” Pastor Johnny will reassure you today by reminding you that you aren't strong enough, but God is. You may slip, but God will never let you go.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that God would love us. We know we don't deserve it. However, today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that just because you don't deserve God's love, that doesn't mean He doesn't love you. It's incredible, but God proved His love for you by sending His Son to die. It's hard to believe, but it's true.

We often fall into the trap of believing our spiritual life is entirely personal. We think faith is something that's between us and God. Pastor Johnny will challenge you today to realize that faith is better with a body of believers. You are meant to be built up by other followers of Jesus, and they are meant to build you up.

Have you ever had a light or electrical appliance in your house buzz quietly? It's quiet, but its consistency gets on your nerves. That's what a constantly grumbling person is like. Today, Pastor Johnny will warn you not to be that person who always complains. Be content with the life God has given you.

Why do you go to church? Is it to be entertained? Do you want to be impressed with the teaching and the music? Pastor Johnny will urge you to seek an encounter with Jesus when you come to church. That's not dependent on how great the worship team or pastor is. That's dependent on you opening your heart for God to move.

It's easy to sit back and have a pastor tell you what to think. It doesn't require a lot of effort. Studying the Bible for yourself takes time and work. Today, Pastor Johnny will tell you something you don't often hear from pastors. Don't blindly trust everything he says. Make sure you test teachers against God's Word.

God does indeed speak to believers through dreams and visions, but sometimes it can be hard to decipher between God speaking, your desires, and a dream caused by a bad pepper. Today, Pastor Johnny will urge you to test any dream or vision you have against God's Word. God won't call you to do something unbiblical.

In recent years, there have been several deaths at the Grand Canyon as people get right to the edge trying to get a great picture. Sin is like a dangerous cliff. Pastor Johnny will warn you today not to play with standing on the edge. Sin leads to death. Don't see how close you can get to it. It's not worth it. Keep your distance.

If we trip over a branch on the path, the pain in our knee reminds us to watch our step the next time. If we see someone else trip, it's even smarter not to make the same mistake. Today, Pastor Johnny will urge you to learn from the past. The Bible has plenty of people messing up; They're there so you don't make the same mistakes.

Do you exercise? Do you take a pilates class, lift weights, or run? It's good to keep in shape physically. In his message today, Pastor Johnny will ask if you're staying in shape spiritually. Are you reading and studying God's Word and spending time in prayer? It's even more important to build up your spiritual muscles.

We are chosen and called by God! Isn't that incredible? God wants to use us, undeserving sinners. Let that sink in. Pastor Johnny will declare to you that truth today. God chose you and called you to be a part of what He's doing in the world. He's called you to come alongside Him and be a part of His mission. 

Have you ever argued with someone about something meaningless, like which ketchup is better? Some battles aren't worth fighting. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that God's truth is something you should stand up for. It's a battle worth fighting. You don't have to argue combatively, but stand firm all the same.

You might be serving God for years before you see any fruit from your labor. It takes time for God to do work in people's lives, and just because you don't see it personally doesn't mean it isn't happening. Today, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to keep serving the Lord even if you are feeling discouraged, He is faithful. 

Typically, you are spending your money to get something in return. You spend money on food, gas, housing, but do you have a portion budgeted for your tithe? Today, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to test God in the area of finance. If you don't believe that God will multiply your money, try Him and see what happens. 

God allows you to go through trials not so that you will suffer and hate your life, but so that you will come out the other side stronger and have more faith in Him. Today, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to look for the good amid hard circumstances. Don't be discouraged because God is with you even in the fire. 

Meekness can be described as quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive. Those are typically not words you would want to be described as, but that's exactly how Jesus lived His life. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that meekness doesn't mean weakness. If you want to live a life according to Jesus, you have to remain meek. 

Playing hide and seek from God will never be in your favor. Today, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to come out of your hiding spot from sin. Don't wait until someone finds you, because God has already found you. He knows your secrets, but you can be set free by confessing and receiving forgiveness from God.

Saying yes to following God is more than choosing to believe in Him. It's a process that is constantly at work. When you choose to follow Him, He will work on your heart and soul for the rest of your life. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that choosing to live for God is more than a moment, it's saying yes to Him every day. 

Have you ever gone through a difficult season in your life and found yourself asking, “Why me, God?” In today's message, Pastor Johnny reminds you that no matter what you face in this life, every trial and every storm has a purpose. Give God your heart and allow Him to make Himself known in your life.

Sometimes, when life throws us its harshest curveballs, it's difficult to understand why we face seasons of difficulty and hardship. Today, Pastor Johnny wants you to know that there is a plan for your life and that every trial serves a purpose. And in the middle of every storm, Jesus is there right with you, guiding you to the other side.

When you look at the state of the world, it's easy to lose hope when it feels like those in power don't care about your feelings. But today, Pastor Johnny wants you to understand that everything happening in this life is according to the will of God. There will come a day when the Lord will return, and every knee will bow in His presence.

At times in your walk with Christ, the weight of the world can feel overwhelming, leading you to question whether you are strong enough to endure. This feeling can be even more intense if you are in a leadership position. That's why Pastor Johnny reminds you that placing your faith in Jesus allows Him to guide you through any storm.

Have you ever felt like you were moving from one storm to another, wondering when your time of peace will arrive? In today's message, Pastor Johnny encourages you to place your faith in Jesus Christ and trust in His promises for your life, assuring you that He will keep you safe and help you prosper.

If you've been in the church for a long time, you know that not everyone is perfect. Sometimes, when someone goes through a series of unfortunate experiences, it can lead them to question whether all people in Christ behave that way. But today, Pastor Johnny encourages you to have faith in Jesus and allow Him to place godly people in your life.

In today's message, Pastor Johnny wants to remind you that when it comes to your salvation, there's nothing you can do to earn it. Because of what Jesus Christ did for you on the cross, He freely gives you His Grace. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and only through Him will you have everlasting life

In today's world, we often seek convenience. We can have food delivered to our homes or get a ride with just a few taps on our phones. Many people expect a similar level of ease when they approach Christianity. However, Pastor Johnny reminds us that there is no shortcut to eternal life; the only way is through Jesus Christ.

Often in life, we strive to take control over every aspect of our lives. It's human nature to want things to go our way. But when it comes to eternal life, it's important to understand that it isn't something we can earn. Today, Pastor Johnny wants you to know that salvation is a gift based on what Jesus has already done.

The Holy Spirit is a wonderfully generous gift from God. While our salvation is indeed sealed by the Spirit, God could've simply left it at that. However, as Pastor Johnny discusses in his message today, it's through God's Spirit that we're made aware of our shortcomings, and by His Spirit, we get the strength to change.

Have you ever been a part of a Church meeting and noticed that the plans discussed seem to center around those involved, rather than God? While it's good to use our abilities for the Kingdom, Pastor Johnny reflects on the importance of making sure that it's God behind our plans, not just our own abilities. 

The Old Testament is filled to the brim with allusions and depictions of Christ. All we have to do is discover them with a little diligence and cross-referencing. In today's message, Pastor Johnny reflects on the depictions of Christ found in the Old Covenant practices that Israel was instructed to follow.

Nothing can be more comforting than to know God is in control, next to the comfort of our own salvation, of course. The question we need to ask ourselves is whether or not we're living in that comfort. In today's message, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to reflect on the comfort of knowing that God is sovereign over all things.

Many of us would be quick to agree that hindsight is absolutely priceless. However, that hindsight is useless if we don't take it upon ourselves to learn from it when it matters most. In today's message, Pastor Johnny teaches about the importance of regularly looking to God's Word for knowledge, wisdom, and encouragement.

While many of us prefer to reflect on the graciousness of God, it doesn't mean that His anger no longer exists. In fact, it's actually to our benefit if we keep in mind why God gets angry. In today's message, Pastor Johnny begins his study in Zechariah while reflecting on the heart of God, Who is angered by the destruction that follows sin.

It can be demoralizing to look at someone who just seems to have way more success than you despite coming from the same roots. But Pastor Johnny encourages you to rejoice in the success of your brother or sister, instead of letting comparison and envy rob you of your joy. Thank the Lord for what He has given you!

Life can be quite a rollercoaster of emotions. One day, you're feeling great and on top of the world, and one phone call or bad day can send you spiraling into a season of depression. Pastor Johnny encourages you to hold onto the Lord in those times and to remember that those low points are opportunities for you to trust in Him.

It is a wise decision to wait on the Lord's timing for things, because His ways are higher than our own. But Pastor Johnny warns us today not to let that lull us into a place of complacency. We shouldn't be inactive while waiting on the Lord, we should be doing good work for the Kingdom wherever we find ourselves.

Just showing up to church every week isn't enough to save you from the penalty of sin. The Bible warns you that even some people you think are “good” in life will not make it into Heaven in the last days. Pastor Johnny reminds you that only a relationship with Jesus Christ will redeem you from the sting of death.
