In our culture, we conduct business by creating agreements or contracts so that we're sure we know what we're getting or what we're owed. It's a binding relationship between parties. But how many of us extend that same mind-set to our relationship with God? Pastor J.D. teaches about the dangers of believing God owes us something and wanting him to give us what we deserve.

Have you had an encounter with God that you would describe like finding a hidden treasure? Like finding a treasure that brought you so much joy that you gladly left everything else to possess it? Many of us, if we were honest, might choose a different image - something more like a never-ending to-do list or being tied to a ball-and-chain. Today, Pastor J.D. is going to steer us in another direction so that we more clearly understand who Jesus is and what he is offering to us.
Jesus once told a story about two men - both of them come across something of such value that it makes everything else in their lives look worthless by comparison. Today, Pastor J.D. looks at the differences between these two men as he continues our series on Jesus' parables titled, "Listen."
In this week's sermon from our series Entrusted, we dive into 2 Timothy 1:1–7, where the Apostle Paul writes to a weary and discouraged Timothy from a Roman prison. Paul's call? “Rekindle the gift of God that is in you.” It's a deeply personal, pastoral reminder that speaks not just to Timothy, but to all of us who've felt the fire of faith flicker under the weight of fear, fatigue, or discouragement.This is a call for all believers—not just pastors or leaders. Whether you feel like your passion is burning bright or barely a flicker, God meets you not with shame, but with grace—and invites you to stir up the flame of faith through His Spirit.Mission Church www.missionlasvegas.com
Yesterday on Summit Life, we began a new series about the parables of Jesus. In these stories, Jesus reveals the beauty of the gospel, but only for those whose heart is in a posture to perceive it—only for those who truly listen. Let's join Pastor J.D. as he teaches from Matthew, Chapter 13.
Happy Father's Day! We are celebrating fathers today, but what does it take to be a good dad? If we are honest, we don't always feel good, what do we gotta do? Pastor J is gonna introduce us to a father who brings his family to Jesus. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, June 15, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.
We may think that making a small compromise here and there doesn't matter. But the truth is that there is inherent danger in compromising our beliefs or morals, danger that can sometimes lead to disaster. In this week's message from Revelation 2, Pastor J.D. takes us through John's letters to the churches at Ephesus and Smyrna, showing us where Jesus both commends and challenges these congregations. Jesus' warning should serve as a sobering reminder to us today: It's possible to be faithful to the doctrines and practices of Jesus while having hearts that are cold and far from him.
Do you ever have FOMO? The fear of missing out? It can even become like a drug—needing a hit of entertainment or distraction to find satisfaction and enjoyment. Sometimes in order to be focused on what we need to be focused on, we have to say “no” to something else. Pastor J.D. shows us that distraction and the feeling of being overwhelmed and hurried often comes from being terribly out of fellowship with Jesus. He even gives us a list of super helpful and practical things we can do today, so make sure you listen to the end.

The Bible is filled with fascinating stories about heroes and villains. Some are parables, but most are real-life descriptions of men and women who struggled just as we do. Did you know these stories aren't intended just to teach us moral lessons or simply to entertain us? They're ultimately designed to point us to the person and work of God the Father and his son, Jesus Christ! During this message, Pastor J.D. invites us to look at one of the most familiar characters in the Old Testament. His life teaches us that God can accomplish amazing things through ordinary people—when they submit to his leadership.

Welcome back to the Dundee Church Podcast! In this powerful second-to-last episode of our Kings and Prophets series, Pastor J.D. Georlett and theologian Keith Holmes dive into the collision of kingdoms: Jesus, the true King and Prophet, on trial before Pontius Pilate.Is Jesus a political threat or the divine King we've been avoiding? What does it mean to live as citizens of two kingdoms: the one on earth and the one in heaven? And how often do we, like Pilate, want Jesus to be around but not in control?This conversation touches on:
This month, Pastor J.D. is walking us through the fascinating book of Judges. In this message, we'll see how over and over again, God's people substituted his plan for their own, with tragic consequences.

Being successful can sometimes be dangerous. Once we've scored a few victories and our leadership produces notoriety and fame, we're tempted to give ourselves far more credit than we deserve. Pastor J.D. will show us that even our biblical heroes fell into this same trap. As we trace the footsteps of Gideon, we'll discover how this successful warrior began to get puffed up and proud.

In the Old Testament book of Judges, we find a fascinating story about two people named Deborah and Barak. A careful examination of their lives offers a powerful lesson on leadership. Pastor J.D. invites us to follow along as he teaches from the book of Judges, Chapters 4 and 5, as he shares five key points that will apply to both men and women in leadership.
When God inspires a woman to step forward and give leadership in ministry, how can the church help her become all God intended? Pastor J.D.'s response is informed by a fascinating story in the book of Judges.
As we close our journey through the book of Exodus, we come to a seemingly anticlimactic ending—the construction of the tabernacle. You might think it strange, after all of the crescendos in the book, to end here. The burning bush, the 10 plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, Moses meeting God on the mountain … and this is the happy ending? But as Pastor J.D. shows us, the tabernacle functioned as the center of the Israelites walk with God. Not only that, but through Jesus, it can enrich our daily time with God as well.

Georlett and theologian Keith Holmes unpack Ezekiel 37's powerful vision of the Valley of Dry Bones and what it means for those who feel worn out, stuck, or spiritually empty.They also explore Ezekiel 34, where God confronts failed leadership and promises to become the Shepherd His people desperately need.

As flawed human beings, sometimes we get complacent about following God. Our failures defeat us. And before long, we begin to compromise and let things slide. Pastor J.D. explains how we can find power and freedom in following Christ.
If there's one aspect of God's character that most people wish they could erase from the Bible, it's God's wrath. In fact, the doctrine of hell is one of the most common answers people give when asked why they don't believe in God. But as we continue our powerful series called The Name, Pastor J.D. explains that God's wrath isn't just something we need to accept; it's actually a fact we can, and should, rejoice in!

If you want to get to know someone, the first thing you do is introduce yourself, because knowing someone's name is an important part of your relationship with him or her. And you're never going to feel very close with someone if they always call you by the wrong name. So in this series, Pastor J.D. is helping us know God personally by knowing his name.
