We often find ourselves in our comfort zone, especially when choosing a church. People love tuning in to those messages that just speak of blessings from God. But do you realise that repentance and a relationship with God matter more? Today, Pastor JD encourages you to step outside your comfort zone!

Satan is out to bring down the church. To achieve this, he employs clever tactics, like distorting the Word of God among the members, which begins to sow division and ultimately fractures the church. Hey there! Today, Pastor JD is here to give you a heads-up about being cautious of the enemy’s schemes!

It’s clear that our world seems to be moving toward a rather gloomy future. Who really knows what’s around the corner? But do you know you carry a bright beam of light with you that can reveal what lies ahead? Today, Pastor JD shares insights on how God’s Word can reveal and equip you for what’s coming in the future!

More Christians have died in recent years than in the entire history of the church of Jesus Christ. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that God is still in control. Further, what do we expect? As Jesus’ return draws near, the Bible tells us that evil and lawlessness will increase. We cannot react in anger or fear. We must continue to have patience, be encouraged, and live Godly lives.

Jesus understands that life can be confusing. He sees you in your time of trial, and He's compassionate. He loves you! Toda,y Pastor JD will remind you that even men of faith like Peter and John the Baptist had their moments of questioning God's goodness, but in the end, they were willing to trust. Jesus is worthy of your faith, no matter what you're going through today!

You'll hear today exactly what Jesus did for you. You'll learn from Pastor JD that the Savior of the world gave up everything to be with people, the creation He loves, and then went to the cross to die for your sins. Pastor JD will then ask how you want to respond – are you ready to turn from your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

People often seek miracles as a way to strengthen their belief in God. The Israelites did that as well. They turned to God only when He worked His wonders. Is that really what faith looks like? In today’s message, Pastor JD talks about how truly believing in God’s Word without any miracle is the ultimate sign of faith!

It might seem like Jesus really shook things up with the laws during His time on Earth. But do you realise He actually fulfilled it? Today, Pastor JD tells you how Jesus brought to life the prophecies shared by the prophets. He's the very embodiment of the law. Just have faith in Him, and everything will fall into place!

We frequently experience doubts and question our faith. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that even prominent figures in scripture encountered crises of faith. Satan attempts to destroy our joy, kill our hope, and erode our faith. We must not allow him to influence our lives; instead, we must remain strong in our faith.

Sometimes, Jesus ways don't make sense. That may be what you're thinking as you join Pastor JD for today's message. Pastor JD will describe a time in Biblical history where a relative of Jesus Himself didn't understand the circumstances he was in, and even began to doubt the Savior. Jesus hadn't changed, though, and the greater mission of His life was still unfolding!

Peace in the Middle East has been a goal of countless people throughout the ages. And from the very beginning, President Donald Trump has said that he WILL BRING peace to the Middle East. As conservative Christians, we have seen a lot of victories in this administration. That said, we know that we know that we know...peace will only come to the Middle East when Jesus returns.

Our president, Donald Trump, has called peace in the Middle East his “BIG DEAL”. He's a real estate tycoon who has made millions on land transactions. Is it possible that he will reveal the very plan that the Bible speaks about? Friends, we know that the ONLY peace that will ever be seen in the Middle East will be when the LORD Jesus returns and rules and reigns in righteousness.

Do you often find yourself feeling anxious about the future? Today, Pastor JD draws our attention to scripture and highlights God’s continual provision for us. He cites biblical examples of birds and flowers that do not worry about their needs. As beings created in God’s image, we can trust that God cares for us even more.

Are you living as an effective and productive Christian? Today, Pastor JD outlines the progressive journey of spiritual maturity for believers. By practicing the qualities identified as the fruits of the Spirit, we grow in grace and knowledge of Christ, becoming more like Him through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

God intends for us to mature as believers. Although many of us are called to teach and make disciples, our spiritual growth is often hindered. Today, Pastor JD urges us to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit rather than remain immature in our faith. Through the Holy Spirit, God has provided all we need to become more like Him.

President Donald Trump continues to stun the world with his leadership. From strong actions on border security to standing up to the press, there really hasn't been anything that he's backed down from. Today, Pastor JD will share with us the strong similarities between President Donald Trump and the character in the Bible known as Cirrus.

Is it possible that Isaiah chapter seventeen and Ezekiel chapter thirty-eight are speaking of the same prophetic event? Today, Pastor JD explores this possibility. The most important fact that we MUST keep in mind is that we have a current president whose top goal is to bring peace to the Middle East. He sees this as his “greatest deal”.

For many of you, the Mid East Prophecy Update is a staple of your weekly discipleship. We are so very thankful for everyone who listens to and watches these prophecy updates. Today, Pastor JD will do a sort of review dating back to 2006 when this ministry first started. It's amazing to see JUST HOW MUCH has developed over the years...even so, come quickly, LORD Jesus!

It is profoundly tragic to consider the possibility of hearing God declare, “Depart from me, I never knew you.” Today, Pastor JD emphasizes that neither religious observance nor the accumulation of good works grants entry into heaven. Rather, the sole requirement is spiritual rebirth to a personal relationship with Jesus.

Who is the first person you call up when you’re sad or lonely? What if it’s 2 am? Luckily, there’s someone you can talk to at all times of the day, and that’s JESUS! In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds you of your personal relationship with Christ. As well as the importance of making Him your God before your Savior.

As humans, we can sometimes think that we can do everything on our own. But when has that ever been successfully true? In today’s message, Pastor JD talks about how you can’t do anything without the Holy Spirit; you always need to lean on the Holy Spirit to accomplish everything you struggle with.

As you well know, the land of Israel has long been a hotly contested part of the world. In fact, it is the single MOST hotly contested piece of land in ALL of the world! Today, Pastor JD begins sharing with us the amazing development in the last several weeks. Our president recently announced that the world should recognize that Israel has authority over the Golan Heights.

Your time here on earth may not be long. The events of recent days and the overwhelming heaviness of discord around the world are bringing you closer to the end. But, as Pastor JD will remind you today, you have another home waiting for you! When the time comes when Jesus says “ENOUGH!”, you get to be with Him forever in Heaven!

With everything happening in Israel and around the globe, it's easy to become discouraged. Pastor JD understands and today wants to remind you of the peace that comes with a hope of Salvation! Don't let the heaviness of events weigh you down! You're learning from God's Word exactly what will take place, and it's bringing you one step closer to eternity with Jesus!

As humans, we can sometimes think that we can do everything on our own. But when has that ever been successfully true? In today’s message, Pastor JD talks about how you can’t do anything without the Holy Spirit; you always need to lean on the Holy Spirit to accomplish everything you struggle with.

Just give up! I know you hear this, and you think, “What?!” Surrender, give up control, let go of what you can't fix, what you can't change. Experience the beauty in true grace, and watch as your life comes together in ways you couldn't imagine. Surviving the unsurvivable. Today, Pastor JD reminds you to take hold of trusting God.

Hard times come, and sometimes leave us feeling lost and broken. But there’s so much glory to look forward to, helping the most debilitating times feel insignificant. Utilize what you know to get through difficult circumstances. Listen today, as Pastor JD reminds you to keep your eyes on the Lord.

The world offers many sources of so-called hope. People ascribe to self-help thinking and positive affirmation. Pastor JD will remind us that our only TRUE hope is in the return of Jesus Christ. Why? Because when Jesus returns, He will bring with him a rule of righteousness that will end all of the darkness that we see in this world.

The most recent developments regarding the protection of babies who have actually been BIRTHED is absolutely astounding! Where have we come to as a society that we are not willing to protect breathing, living babies that have survived the wicked abortion process!?!?!? Truly friends, we are in the last days. May God be merciful while we await His return.

Pastor JD will spend time today on the impending elections in Israel, the controversy surrounding their current prime minister, and the current political uproar in the United States. The chaos in the world may seem out of control, but one thing remains certain – God is NOT surprised! He knows exactly what's going on, and the future is still under His control!

When you’re in the marsh, and things are weighing on you. When you become overwhelmed with emotions, and you’re clawing and scratching to find your way out. Who is your advocate in these moments? Is there someone who can give a different perspective? Join us today, as Pastor JD explains the importance of encouragement.

Are you feeling alone and isolated? You don’t have to be. When you belong to Christ, you are part of His body, His church. Pastor JD instructs us that when a local body is assembled, it is like a living organism, a community of believers, where you can find friendship and fellowship and strength and safety.

Anxiety and worry rob us of our peace and joy and can isolate us from our fellow Christians and even from our Lord. But we don’t have to bear it alone. In fact, we can’t, and God doesn’t want us to. Peter tells us to “cast our cares upon the Lord, because he cares for you.” Today, Pastor JD exhorts you to do just that.

The news that inundates your life today is frequently violent, angry, or downright depressing! Your world is dark, and getting darker by the moment. Today, though, Pastor JD wants to pierce that darkness with some light – the light of truth! God's Word is refreshing in these end days, giving you hope to hold on to and promises that you know will be fulfilled!

Though it might seem odd, the Bible actually says that as the last days are approaching, more and more people will begin to mock and scoff at the return of Jesus. The more people mock and scoff, the closer we are. If you're paying any attention at all these days, people are mocking the idea of the rapture and the return of Jesus regularly.

Though we've discussed this a few times before here on the Mid East Prophecy Update...our president's determination to bring peace to the Middle East is astounding! There is more and more discussion about how peace can be accomplished. These sorts of events point us more and more to the soon return of Jesus Christ.

Are you currently experiencing hard and challenging times? Know that you are not alone. Many of your brothers and sisters in Christ are also undergoing trials of many kinds. And there is a way through these difficulties. Today, Pastor JD shows you how to not only survive but to thrive in difficult circumstances.

We can focus on earthly things or things of heaven. There’s no middle ground, and whichever we focus on, that’s where our treasure will be. Today, Pastor JD tells how you can keep your eyes on the heavenly prize, and how you can transfer your treasures on earth to heaven. Worldly treasures take the focus off of Jesus.

When we’re lost in life, we often go back to what we are familiar with. After Jesus’ resurrection, Peter returned to fishing, something he knew how to do well. But Jesus had other plans. Today, Pastor JD explains how Jesus transformed Peter and how Jesus desires to work in you and change you.


Today, Pastor JD continues a discussion on the painful subject of abortion. This topic is flaring emotions from all sides, but needs to be addressed in the church! Pastor JD will remind you that sharing the Gospel message ALWAYS needs to be your priority. Everyone needs to be set free from sin – EVERY SIN – and that can only be done through Jesus!

In today's message, Pastor JD tackles the current and difficult topic of late-term abortions. This is a sensitive subject, but one that needs to be addressed in light of God's love and truth. Pastor JD will share personal experiences along with Biblical passages that he hopes will help you navigate this topic. In it all, he reveals God's heart toward His beloved children!

Coexistence and the belief that everyone's god is the same is one step closer to one world religion. When such theology is encouraged, people can be misled from the one true messiah. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." The road to the Father is narrow, so don't let anyone fool you into thinking it's a wide-open path.

Peter had some high moments with Jesus. What other person could say that he walked on water and spent time with Jesus?! Peter could’ve bragged about those moments, but he didn’t. He stayed humble. Today, Pastor JD tells you how to have faith, confidence, and courage, without becoming prideful.

Faith in God is a minute-by-minute choice. Life is full of difficult decisions and paths that diverge. But that’s why Pastor JD reminds us today, our faith needs to be refined by fire. Our trials in this life make our faith shine brighter. It becomes more valuable and contains fewer impurities. God’s refining creates a pure faith.

It’s often true that when our lives are running smoothly and things are going well, we pray our token prayers and move on. The heartfelt, on our knees, crying out to the Lord prayers are missing. As Pastor JD reminds us today, that’s why our times of prosperity are dangerous. We begin to think we don’t need God.

For the first time in history, the Pope visited the Middle East and met with leaders from Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism. The Pope called this “a new page in the history of relations between religions”. While the idea of peace among all religions sounds like a good idea, coexistence is one step closer to the one-world religion described in the book of Revelation.

Wake up followers of Christ; his return is coming nearer every day. Be prepared and repent of your sin. Continue to follow the current events, so you may see the indicators of Jesus return. Look up and stare intently at the sky, eager for his return. Be encouraged; soon you will be in your real home, the house of the Lord.

A pivotal reason to read the bible is so you can know and be prepared for the times ahead. Ignorance is not going to make you happy; you will just be unprepared. While looking forward to the return of Christ, be empowered to fight the good fight, spreading the good news to unbelievers so that all may have a chance to avoid the wrath of God.

Have you ever been sailing? The ride is anything but smooth or boring. The captain constantly needs to be on alert to wind changes, storms on the horizon, and sea life in his path. As Pastor JD reminds you today, God doesn’t promise smooth sailing in your life, but He does promise a beautiful journey.

We live in a broken world, and sometimes, we go through seemingly never-ending storms. But in today’s message, Pastor JD wants you to know that no matter what happens in this world, God will always see you through to the other side. It may not always look like what we want it to, but God's promises are forever.
