Saved | Ephesians 2:1-10 | Love Incorruptible
Apr 2900:44:26Tap to summarizeBelieving in the gospel is kind of inconvenient, isn’t it? When we don’t understand how necessary it is in our lives, the demands it makes on us, like giving generously and reaching out to people who are different, can seem pretty bothersome. In this message from the “Love Incorruptible” series, Pastor J.D. helps us see that, until we fully understand the problem of sin, we can never fully cherish the gift of grace.
Transcribe →Open Up Our Eyes | Ephesians 1:15-23 | Love Incorruptible
Apr 2700:42:01Tap to summarizeHave you ever felt like something is missing in your spiritual life? What’s often missing is the difference in knowing something in our head and having it come alive in our heart. In this message from the “Love Incorruptible” series, Pastor J.D. takes us through a passage in Ephesians and shows us why it’s not enough just to know facts. God has to grant us spiritual sight if we want to know him more and see his true glory.
Transcribe →Chosen | Ephesians 1:1-14 | Love Incorruptible
Apr 2200:43:44Tap to summarizeThere are a lot of things in the Bible that are hard to understand. In this introduction to the “Love Incorruptible” series from Ephesians, Pastor J.D. explains predestination and helps us see that while some things are not meant to be understood, we can know this: we were chosen for the glory of God. When we embrace that truth, it gives us the power to persist in trials as God works out his good plan in us.
Transcribe →But I’m Not Enough | Exodus 3:1–14; 20:7 | Not God Enough
Apr 2000:43:38Tap to summarizeSelf-improvement is an American obsession, and the self-help industry churns out an endless supply of books, seminars and training programs, raking in about $10 billion each year! But Pastor J.D. teaches about the real path to confidence and significance, as we continue our series, titled Not God Enough.
Transcribe →You Don’t Get your Own Personal Jesus | Exodus 3:1–14; 20:7 | Not God Enough
Apr 1500:46:34Tap to summarizeSometimes when we’re afraid or in a bind, we try to bargain with God. We’ve all been there — trying to get Jesus to agree to our demands. Pastor J.D. helps us get our theology right about prayer as he continues our series titled, Not God Enough.
Transcribe →Your God is Too Small | Job 38–42 | Not God Enough
Apr 1300:45:24Tap to summarizeRemember how frustrating it was when you were in school and the teacher was describing a big concept, but you couldn’t make heads or tails of it? Nobody likes when they can’t understand something. But as he kicks off our series called Not God Enough, Pastor J.D. shows us there are some things about God that we, as humans, aren’t capable of wrapping our minds around. And that’s a good thing!
Transcribe →Eternity’s Dividing Line | Luke 23:1–26 | Consider the Cross
Apr 800:43:56Tap to summarizeAt Easter, we consider the cross and the resurrection, of course—but this consideration ultimately demands a response from us. It demands that a choice be made. In this Easter message, Pastor J.D. explains how Luke 23 is the dividing line of history, and the most important decision we will ever make is whether we are on the side of Jesus or not. For those who choose to put their faith in Jesus, we can say with confidence and joy, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!”
Transcribe →It Seems Like Nonsense, But It’s Not | Luke 24:1–12 | Come and See
Apr 600:44:57Tap to summarizePastor J.D. walks us down the path to Jesus’ tomb. We’ve all walked that lonely path in one form or another over the past 23 months, wondering where life is headed. The bad news? It’s headed to the grave. The good news? It doesn’t have to stay there. Because of the resurrection, the path to true life doesn’t end at the grave. It begins there.
Transcribe →But Concerning That Day, No One Knows, Not Even the Son | Mark 13:32-37 | Difficult Saying of Jesus
Apr 100:39:40Tap to summarizeThere is no transcript for today’s episode! When it comes to end-time prophecy, there are some Christians who look at their view as absolutely essential doctrine and spend tons of time trying to map out the last days with charts and graphs. Others see that as a waste of time and prefer to focus on the here and now. So which approach is correct? Pastor J.D. answers that question today as he continues our series, “The Difficult Sayings of Jesus.”
Transcribe →I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightning | Luke 10:17–20
Mar 3000:38:25Tap to summarizeWhen many of us picture Satan, we think of a cartoon character with little red horns and a pitchfork. But is he really just a figment of Hollywood’s imagination, or is Satan alive and active in our world today? Pastor J.D. dives into Scripture to answer that question as he continues our series, “The Difficult Sayings of Jesus.”
