Revival Radio with John Miller

When we read the Bible, context is key. We should always ask: Who is this passage written to? What is the main point that the author is trying to convey? Why and when was this written? How does this apply to our lives? Pastor John will remind us today that we can’t yank a verse out of context to justify our own plans and purposes. God inspired every book of the Bible, but that doesn’t mean that every promise applies to us, thousands of years later! Read Scripture intentionally, considering the original context.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalms, chapter 119, as he continues his message, How to Study the Bible.

Incredibly, God’s Word is God’s Word, whether it’s in an app on your phone or in a huge leather-bound book. But Pastor John will tell you today that many other resources are extremely valuable for diving into Scripture! Pick up a study Bible with insightful commentary so you can understand challenging passages more deeply! Once you’ve found a translation that breathes life into your devotionals, stick with it and memorize verses! Invest in a Bible that will encourage your soul for years to come!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalms, chapter 119, as he begins his message, How to Study the Bible.

God’s Word has infinite depth and knowledge for us to dive into! But we need to be careful to interpret every verse within its original context. Who was this book of the Bible written to? What was the culture at that time? How does it fit with the other books of the Old and New Testaments? Pastor John will tell us today that we can experience profound understanding when we interpret verses in their context! We can draw closer to Jesus when we study Scripture with accuracy, because it’s all His story of redemption!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 2, as he continues his message How to Interpret the Bible.

Our culture today is very self-oriented. Some argue (wrongly!) that truth is relative and that we should all live our lives however we want. People even take that approach with Scripture. They ask, “How does this verse make me feel?” instead of, “What was God teaching in this passage?” In today’s message, Pastor John will tell us that the world’s understanding of God’s Word is warped and broken! We always need to examine the context of the verses we study, recognizing Scripture as authoritative and errorless!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, How to Interpret the Bible.

The gospel changes everything! The Lord can completely transform a life through the power of His Word! So many people are suffering today because they haven’t experienced the joy that Jesus provides. Pastor John will challenge us today to be mission-minded in all that we do. Who knows what kind of impact God could have in the lives of those around you if they were introduced to Jesus? Your job isn’t to regenerate their hearts. Your objective is to share the gospel, trusting in God’s redemptive plan!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalms, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Why We Need the Bible.

When we abide in Christ by meditating on God’s Word, our lives produce spiritual fruit! We can have love, joy, and peace in every season because those attributes aren’t dependent on our situation! They’re a result of being close to Jesus! Pastor John will tell us today that the fruit of our lives can also have a major positive impact on those around us! One of the most impactful evidences of the gospel is how Christians live. So don’t let yourself drift away from the Savior! He wants to use you for His eternal glory!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalms, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Why We Need the Bible.

So much power is packed into a tiny seed. With light, water, and time, it can grow into a massive, flourishing, fruitful tree! The first time you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, it’s like planting a seed in your heart. As you walk with Him, that seed grows into something beautiful! And ultimately, you plant seeds in the lives of those around you! Today, Pastor John will encourage you to water your soul with the Word of God. Saturate your life with Scripture, and see how the Lord works in you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans, chapter 7, as he continues his message, The Sufficiency of Scripture.

The moment you place your faith in Jesus, your heart is regenerated, and your life is changed forever! Like with the miracle of conception, a new spirit is placed within you, and you are born again! If you’ve never accepted the grace of Jesus, Pastor John will challenge you to make that decision today! You don’t need to live in sin and failure anymore! The Father’s arms are wide open, and He wants to transform you from the inside out! Run to Him today, whether it’s for the first time or the 80,000th.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans, chapter 7, as he begins his message, The Sufficiency of Scripture.

Without a doubt, one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the Bible is fulfilled prophecy. Because God exists outside of time, He sees the whole story! He knew exactly when nations like Babylon would be destroyed, and He divinely inspired prophecies of those events! Pastor John will tell us today that the world’s only explanation for prophecies is that they must’ve been written after the events! God’s Word is powerful and errorless, so we can have complete confidence in what He has said!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Evidence for Inspiration.

Nobody can honestly say that they doubt the truth of the Bible because there isn’t enough evidence for it. There’s overwhelming support for God’s Word in Creation, history, and science! Pastor John will tell us today that people deny the Word of God because it points out their sin and makes them feel guilty! Our fallen natures want to believe that we’re good people, but that’s not what Scripture teaches. We desperately need a Savior, and praise the Lord, He has provided the perfect One!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Evidence for Inspiration.

God’s Word is perfect, without any flaws or inaccuracies. It isn’t outdated or behind the times. It doesn’t need to be revised or corrected to reflect modern culture. It was and always will be the inerrant Word of God Himself! Pastor John will remind us today that we must be immovable on this point. We must not cater to the world by compromising the Truth! God’s Word is God’s Word. Period. It really is that simple! And what higher authority could there possibly be than what the Lord has spoken?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy, chapter 3, as he continues his message, The Bible: God’s Word.

God’s Word tells us that Jesus understands every temptation we face. He can relate to us because He became human. The all-powerful Creator of the cosmos limited Himself to a tiny baby in Mary’s womb. He could’ve stayed on His throne and left us to die in our sins. But Jesus loves us so much that He was willing to sacrifice everything! Today, Pastor John will remind us of how blessed we are to have a Savior who gets what we’re going through! Whatever battles you’re facing, choose to run to Him today!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy, chapter 3, as he begins his message, The Bible: God’s Word.

If God’s Word wasn’t authoritative, without error, and sufficient, every other doctrine would be questionable. Think about it! We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that salvation is by grace through faith because the Bible says so! If Scripture can’t be trusted 100% of the time, everything else falls apart. Today, Pastor John will call the Church to unite around the essential doctrines and to give liberty on secondary issues. Satan’s goal is to divide us, however he can. Don’t give him an opportunity!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 3, as he begins his message, A Closing Word on Relationships.

It’s not easy to follow leaders who don’t share our beliefs and values. But the Bible tells us that it’s our responsibility to submit to those in power. God is sovereign over everything, so we have to trust that His plan is perfect. But Pastor John will tell us today that there is an exception to this principle. If our government tells us to do something that defies God and His Word, we are called to disobey that directive. The Holy Spirit gives us discernment about when to submit or stand firm in our faith.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Realities to Remember.

Jesus paid it all so that we could be with Him forever, but the story doesn’t end there! When Jesus first came down to Earth, His mission was to make God’s grace available to everyone who believes. But the Savior is coming again soon! Today, Pastor John will show us that Jesus is returning to take us home to heaven with Him! And He won’t be humbly riding a donkey this time. He will come with all the glory and majesty of God! Are you yearning for that day? If Jesus came back right now, would you be ready?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Educating Power of Grace and Glory.

You and I were utterly helpless to save ourselves from sin and hell. Scripture tells us that we were dead in our transgressions and wickedness. But Pastor John will tell us today that two words change everything: Grace and Mercy. We deserved an eternity apart from God, but Jesus’s sacrifice erased that debt forever! That’s mercy! We have now been clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Himself, so when the Father looks at us, He sees His Son! That’s grace! Take a moment to celebrate those incomparable gifts!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Educating Power of Grace and Glory.

Worldly culture has become a cesspool of sexual immorality and wickedness. It’s never been easier to access filth on the Internet than it is today, and adulterous relationships are becoming normalized. Self-control and self-mastery can feel like impossible losing battles. But God never calls us to anything impossible! Pastor John will remind us today that the Holy Spirit dwells within us, empowering us to overcome temptation and sin! Don’t settle for compromise! Turn to Jesus and experience victory!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 2, as he continues his message, Adorning the Doctrine of God.

“Love is not a passing emotion; it’s a decision you make.” One of the primary ways that we can pattern our lives after God’s righteousness is by loving our spouses. Pastor John will tell us today that commitment has to come before feelings. Not vice versa! When you live in faithfulness to your spouse, the Lord blesses you with affectionate feelings toward them! We all need to avoid thinking that experiencing emotions is what leads to faithfulness. That will always lead to disappointment and division!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Adorning the Doctrine of God.

Our old fleshly hearts are so twisted and deceitful! We know that God’s Word is the truth, but the world’s temptations can lead us to rationalize our sin. We can even start to sound like the devil, asking if God really said that what we’re doing is wrong. Today, Pastor John will tell us to lay our corrupt desires down at the cross in submission to God’s authority. It’s time to stop creating excuses for the sin that’s festering in our lives! If God says it’s wrong, it’s wrong! The challenge is living like we believe that truth!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Facing the False Teachers.

The gospel tells us that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone! That’s why it’s called the gospel! It’s indescribably good news! But Pastor John will tell us today that many people seek to corrupt the gospel by adding to it. They might say that grace is a piece of the puzzle, but that good works are necessary for salvation, too! This sounds right to our ears, but the reality is that none of us could ever live righteously enough to earn heaven! We can only find forgiveness through the cross!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Facing the False Teachers.

The single most important attribute that a pastor should exhibit is devotion to the Word of God! Shepherds must believe that Scripture is errorless so that they can teach others to defend that belief! How can you minister to a church if you don’t have confidence that God’s Word is flawless, complete, and sufficient? Pastor John will show us today that becoming a pastor is a challenging calling. Everyone pursuing full-time ministry should soberly examine their hearts and seek God’s will!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 1, as he continues his message, The Marks of a Blameless Man.

God’s Word is very clear about the attributes that pastors need to exhibit. But these requirements extend beyond people in leadership ministry! All fathers, whether they’re pastors or laypeople, should be completely devoted to their wives and children. Pastor John will tell us today that God commands us to do hard things! And it’s a husband and father’s responsibility to lead his family sacrificially and humbly — not an easy task! But it’s possible because the Lord sent the Holy Spirit to help us!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 1, as he begins his message, The Marks of a Blameless Man.

Many Christians today squabble and disagree over the doctrines of election and free will. Is God truly and completely sovereign, knowing before time began who would place their faith in Jesus? Or do we have free will to make our own decisions, including whether or not we surrender to Christ? Pastor John will tell us today that, while we can’t fully understand it, the answer is both! God reigns over all things, and it’s our responsibility to choose to follow Jesus! And praise the Lord that both of these doctrines are true!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 1, as he continues his message, The Facets of a Faithful Servant.

If you are a Christian, you have been purchased by the blood of Jesus. Your life is no longer yours to do whatever you want with it. God has a specific plan for your story, and He is calling you for a unique purpose! Today, Pastor John will remind you that the Lord is sovereign over everything, including you! God sees the entire picture and wants to use you to reach the people around you in a way that nobody else can! So rejoice today that Jesus reigns and that He weaves all things together for His glory!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Titus, chapter 1, as he begins his message, The Facets of a Faithful Servant.

It’s fun to talk about everything we can look forward to in heaven, isn’t it? We’ll see loved ones who passed away years ago! We’ll never have the flu or experience pain again! Maybe we’ll even be able to fly around the galaxies like superheroes! But while all of those things are wonderful, seeing Jesus will blow them out of the water! Today, Pastor John will tell us that meeting our Savior face-to-face will be heaven indeed! What could be better than embracing the one who died for you?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 17, as he continues his message, John 17:6-26.

We can’t even begin to imagine what it must have been like for Jesus to come down to Earth. Before time began, Jesus was omnipresent and all-powerful. He personally spoke the cosmos into existence! Trillions of stars were created in a second by one command from His mouth! And Jesus set aside that power and glory to become a human baby. Why would the Son of God make such an incomparable sacrifice? Today, Pastor John will tell us that the answer is love! Jesus loves us so much that He gave up everything!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 17, as he begins his message, John 17:6-26.

Jesus claimed to be God. There’s zero debate among scholars about that; it’s a certified fact. And there are only 3 possibilities when someone claims to be God. Either He was insane, He was a liar, or He was actually the Son of God! Today, Pastor John will show us that the evidence is clear that Jesus is exactly who He says He is! He is truly and fully God! All of Christianity hinges on this truth. Everything would fall apart if Jesus were a fraud. So take a moment to celebrate that our Lord is divine!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 17, as he continues his message, John 17:1-5.

It’s very easy to make prayer into a list of demands for God. We say things like, “Lord, give me the money I need for rent this month. Take away this sickness. Fix my coworker’s attitude.” And all of these are good things that God deeply cares about! But prayer can and should be so much more! Today, Pastor John will tell us that the ultimate goal of prayer is to give God glory! When we align our hearts with the Lord’s will, everything else falls into place. How can you pray more selflessly this week?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 17, as he begins his message, John 17:1-5.

When the company you’ve been with for a decade lays you off, Jesus is with you. When you don’t know where your family’s next meal will come from, Jesus is with you. When you are diagnosed with incurable brain cancer, Jesus is with you. When your spouse runs off with another person, Jesus is with you. When a family member dies, Jesus is with you. Pastor John will tell you today that whatever your situation, Jesus is with you. Turn to Him and find unending peace, joy, and hope!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 16, as he continues his message, John 16:16-33.

Happiness and joy actually aren’t synonyms. Happiness is dependent on the situation you’re in. If somebody hands you a cookie-dough ice cream cone, you’re happy! But as soon as that dessert is gone, your moment of elation is over. Today, Pastor John will tell you that joy is a gift from God that can’t be taken away! Joy isn’t based on what’s happening around you. You can have joy in prison, while dealing with a severe illness, and even on your deathbed! Because Jesus is the unending source of your joy!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 16, as he begins his message, John 16:16-33.

Perfection. That’s God’s standard. That’s the “You-must-be-this-tall-to-ride-this-attraction” requirement: Perfection. “Pretty good” doesn’t cut it. Even “almost perfect” isn’t enough! God is completely and utterly holy, so anything that’s not 100% perfect cannot come near Him. Today, Pastor John will remind us of the staggeringly immense blessing of Jesus’s death and resurrection. In Him, we are perfect! Present tense! We can stand before God unafraid because we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 16, as he continues his message, John 16:1-15.

If you’re like me, you look at everything happening in the world right now and wonder, “Lord, what are you waiting for?” Why hasn’t He come back with the armies of heaven to reveal His glory and take us home to heaven? Today, Pastor John will tell us that the answer is mercy. Every day that God delays the Rapture is an opportunity for repentance. This moment, right now, is the time for everyone to bow their knees before Jesus! So witness boldly! Jesus could come back at any time!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 16, as he begins his message, John 16:1-15.

When we open up any of the gospels, we immediately see that the world hated Jesus. Both the religious leaders and the pagan rulers sought to kill Jesus, and ultimately they did. God doesn’t promise that this life will be easy for us. He actually promises the opposite — that we’ll face trials and suffering. But Pastor John will remind us today that the Lord is with us in those painful situations! They are opportunities to let His holiness and glory shine! So don’t lose hope when the world hates you! Keep following Jesus!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 15, as he continues his message, John 15.

When you miss a meal, it’s immediately clear that you’ve done so. It’s not a mystery! You don’t have to wonder if you skipped lunch because your body tells you that you did by making you hungry! Today, Pastor John will show you that choosing not to spend time in God’s Word is like missing a meal! The Bible is food for our souls! Without it, we become spiritually malnourished! So set aside a part of your day just for prayer and time in Scripture! Feast on the Word of God and be filled!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 15, as he begins his message, John 15.

If you’ve placed your faith in Jesus, you are IN Christ. You are dressed in the righteousness of the Savior and can stand before God without fearing judgment! You are a child of God and have billions of spiritual family members! You have access to Jesus every moment of every day, forever! Today, Pastor John will remind you of these immense blessings and what it means to abide in Christ. Walk in freedom, knowing that the King of Kings is with you wherever you go, empowering you for gospel ministry!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 14, as he begins his message, John 14:15-31.

One of the most exciting parts of heaven, for me, is knowing that we’ll all get resurrected bodies! We won’t have to eat or sleep anymore. We’ll never get tired. We won’t ever catch the flu again or live with life-altering diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. And death will just be a memory! We will never watch a loved one pass away again! In fact, we’ll be reunited with friends and family who died years ago! Today, Pastor John will encourage us to keep holding on, because eternity with Jesus is coming!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 14, as he continues his message, John 14:1-14.

I don’t know about you, but I have days where I feel like the pressure of life is physically weighing me down. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by work, school, relationships, health, and everything else that this world throws at us. But today, Pastor John will remind us that Jesus commands us not to let our hearts be troubled! He doesn’t suggest it; He commands it! And He does this because He Himself is the antidote for worry! He always provides exactly what we need! So hold on to hope!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 14, as he begins his message, John 14:1-14.

If there’s one word that sums up Jesus’s mission and ministry, it’s “love.” The Messiah came down from heaven out of love for the people whom He created. Jesus served others throughout His time on Earth, knowing they could never repay Him, out of love. The Savior even loved us enough to face the cross and God’s wrath in our place! Today, Pastor John will challenge us to live like Jesus, loving sacrificially in every situation and circumstance. The world will know we are Christians by our love!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 13, as he continues his message, John 13.

The story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet is one of the most beautifully shocking passages in Scripture. Jesus had every right to command one of His followers to fulfill that lowly role. But instead, He did it Himself out of love and compassion! Today, Pastor John will challenge us to follow the Messiah’s example, laying aside our status and comfort to serve. Like the lowliest slave, we should seek out opportunities to bless others, regardless of what it costs us. If the Son of God did it, so can we!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 13, as he begins his message, John 13.

At the moment that you place your faith in Jesus, a miraculous exchange happens. All of your sins (past, present, and future) are nailed to the cross, where they will never be used against you again! Simultaneously, the perfect righteousness of Jesus is permanently wrapped around you. Your spiritual bank account goes from terrible debt to overwhelming riches! Today, Pastor John will challenge you to share that simple gospel truth with the people in your life! Bless others with the gift you’ve been given!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Not Ashamed of the Gospel.

A wonderful truth of the gospel is that God never stops working on us. From the moment that we place our faith in Jesus, God starts transforming every aspect of our being. Like a sculptor with a block of marble, God chips away at our minds, hearts, and souls, making us into reflections of Jesus! Today, Pastor John will challenge us to surrender every part of ourselves to the King of Kings. He wants to make a masterpiece out of all of us, but He won’t force anyone to love Him. Our response is our responsibility!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans, chapter 8, as he begins his message, God’s Providential Care.

If you have the Holy Spirit living inside you, you never have to wonder if you’re truly saved! The Holy Spirit is God’s stamp of ownership over your life. You’ve been purchased by the blood of Christ, and nothing can undo that! Today, Pastor John will challenge you to cast aside the sins that are weighing you down and live in freedom! There’s no need to hide from God in shame! He has erased your debt and proclaims that you are His beloved son or daughter! Rest in the assurance of the Holy Spirit and pursue righteousness!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans, chapter 5, as he continues his message, The Believer’s Benefits Package.

If you have placed your faith in Jesus, trusting in Him as your Savior and Lord, you are justified before God. Period! When the King of Kings looks at you, He sees the perfect righteousness of His Son! Your sin debt has been permanently erased! But today, Pastor John will remind you that what you do with your life matters! You don’t pursue holiness in order to be saved. You chase after it because you already are saved! Don’t hold on to the sins of your past! Surrender them to Jesus and live for Him!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans, chapter 5, as he begins his message, The Believer’s Benefits Package.

Too often, people want to put the cart before the horse and make sense of how that works. In today’s teaching, Pastor John explains that many well-meaning people often look to explain away the rapture and use all kinds of other sources to defend that rationale. But ultimately, all that matters is what Scripture says, and when that’s studied out, you’re soon to realize that there are things revealed in God’s Word that can’t be found in a Bible scholar’s quotes and perspectives.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 12, as he continues his message, “The Future for Israel?”

Darkness can be all-consuming! It envelops you when you’re out in the middle of the wilderness. But then you see those millions of stars, the light of the sky, giving bits of light. But what if there were no stars? What if the sky was a thick, heavy cape that draped the night, making it impossible to see anything clearly? Today, this is how Pastor John describes how the world will experience life without Christian influence. When the stars are removed, the darkness will be so thick, and it will feel inescapable.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 12, as he begins his message, “The Future for Israel?”

This sounds like an egomaniac, doesn’t it? It’s such a clever ploy that the antichrist will come to power, but will first win the people over peacefully, so that then they’re deceived later on. This antichrist will have no interest in religion, but essentially wants to become god. Pastor John just mentioned this today, but it’s clear that the antichrist will be controlled by Satan himself, because Satan attempted the same tactic when he wanted to be god in heaven and was cast down to the earth in punishment.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 11, as he continues his message, “The Coming Anti-Christ.”

As you try to understand what has happened in the past, what will happen in the future, and how prophecy all works within those parts of history, keep in mind that God’s heart in all of this is to give clues and insights, and He’s not looking to confuse. God has an amazing way of tying all that was and all that will be - together in a uniquely brilliant way, and God’s Word helps us understand things more fully. Today, Pastor John is teaching about the antichrist that is predicted to come to power in the future.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 11, as he begins his message, “The Coming Anti-Christ.”

It might be hard enough for you to look in the mirror and like what you see. You can’t help but notice the flaws, the wrinkles, the blemishes and scars that never seem to disappear. But what about when you’re confronted with God and His Word? Pastor John mentions today that your sin is exposed, and you become aware of your standing in the presence of a holy God. This isn’t meant to shame you, but to become conscious of the fact that God views you as His child, and there’s a level of humility in the face of that!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 10, as he continues his message, “Vision by the River.”

It was a grim day. It was 9/11, and nobody knew or understood what was going on. Although the blue, pristine September sky betrayed the tragedy of the day, you couldn’t help but feel the heaviness of what was going on. But do you know what people did in airplanes that were crashing and on the ground later that day? People were gathering in prayer. Whether groupings were people of faith or not, the only thing that made sense was to pray. Pastor John speaks on the issue of prayer today and its power.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 10, as he begins his message, “Vision by the River.”

Time trials. You see them in running, in swimming, in skiing, and many other competitive sporting events. There’s a start time and an end time. Usually, the athletes are attempting to beat the best time and go as fast as possible, fulfilling all the requirements. But the timetable that Pastor John is speaking of today has nothing to do with beating the best time. It has everything to do with following God’s timeline for what He’s laid out long before the here and now. So buckle up, and get excited for what’s shared!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 9, as he continues his message, “Seventy Weeks Prophetic Calendar.”

If you’re into math, numbers, and calculations, this message is going to be delightful for you! Today, Pastor John is taking us through one of the most well-known prophecies in the entire Bible. It’s Daniel chapter 9, and many, many things are spoken about that were, at the time, in the future, but for now, much of it is in the past. Is that as clear as mud? Well, Pastor John’s heart today is to bring things to light, and the goal is for you to have a solid understanding of what God’s Word says and that it will come about.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 9, as he begins his message, “Seventy Weeks Prophetic Calendar.”

Many times, people can view prayer in a very self-seeking way. “God, I really want this extra perk at work, so will You grant me success so that I get a raise, or have that bonus?” “God, I don’t want that bad thing to happen to me, so I want you to protect me from that injury or that sickness.” That’s not how Daniel prayed, and today, as Pastor John discusses Daniel’s prayer, you’ll get a glimpse of the heart and the motive behind what was being prayed, and the posture toward God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 9, as he continues his message, “The Praying Prophet.”

If you know anything about the man that Daniel was in the Bible, you know he had upstanding character and integrity. But here he is, including himself with the lump, admitting that he and the people of Israel have sinned. What does it take to be a man of this level, exuding humility and pleading with God, asking Him for His mercy? Today, Pastor John teaches on how Daniel shows that tenacity in seeking and following God, being humble and confessing wrongdoing. It’s a lifelong exercise that all should lean into.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 9, as he begins his message, “The Praying Prophet.”

If you’ve ever been part of a labor and delivery situation, it has its moments. From my observation, there can be deep, anguishing waves of pain that take over a person’s entire body, as the mother writhes in indescribable discomfort. Then that contraction seems to subside, and there’s a bit of relief, but it ramps up again and even gets worse, until the issue resolves. Pastor John speaks of this today, relating the end times to a woman in labor. On a positive note, the resolution will be joyful and celebratory!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 8, as he continues his message, “The King’s Fierce Countenance.”

Imagery and symbolism can be an effective tool to help you see things in a different light. How cool that here in the book of Daniel, you learn about different parts of history described (before they happened), and then you see how those things played out in now-known events of the past. Today, Pastor John helps reveal that all of Scripture is true, accurate, and will surely come about. So even the things that haven’t transpired yet, but are mentioned in a prophecy, will play out sometime in the future!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 8, as he begins his message, “The King’s Fierce Countenance.”

Picture a villain from every movie known to man. Some antiheroes are a little more deceptive, and you may not realize it at first until that twist at the end, and you feel duped. Other villains are more obvious, and have that gravelly voice and sharp, pointed features that intuitively give you an intuition that you’re not supposed to be rooting for them. Well, today, Pastor John exposes what the Bible says about the antichrist, who will come to power during the time of the tribulation here on earth.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 7, as he continues his message, “Thy Kingdom Come.”

The Bible is so fascinating – because what’s detailed in its pages touches on things that have happened in the past, as well as pointing to things in the future. The past, the present, and the future intersect in the most beautiful way, and what Pastor John is teaching on today is one of the most intriguing chapters of the entire Bible! We’re in Daniel, and a famous prophetic chapter is giving us a glimpse of what God has in mind for us in the future. But as it stands today, there’s much that needs to take place first.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 7, as he continues his message, “Thy Kingdom Come.”

The United States of America is arguably the most powerful nation in the world, and it’s only 250 years old. Jesus’s Kingdom is eternal! It will never pass away! 8 trillion years from now, we’ll still be praising God and thanking Him for rescuing us from our sins! We’ll literally never stop worshiping the Lord for His goodness and grace! Today, Pastor John will challenge us to keep our eyes on the eternal Kingdom, not the distractions of this present age. Jesus is coming soon, so let’s be ready for Him!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 7, as he continues his message, Thy Kingdom Come.

From a humanist perspective, we’ve arguably never been better than we are right now. People of all kinds of genders and sexualities are free to express themselves. Women have the right to choose whether they want to keep a pregnancy. But from God’s perspective, humanity is as depraved as we’ve ever been. Today, Pastor John will tell us that the Lord’s view is the one that matters! Our culture tells us to keep up with the times, but God tells us to stand firm upon His unchanging Word! Don’t be led astray!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 7, as he begins his message, Thy Kingdom Come.

Before Jesus transforms your heart and life, it’s easy to wear different masks. You might pretend to have it all together when you go to church. But maybe you deny even knowing Christ when you’re with friends! Today, Pastor John will encourage you to drop your façades and root your identity in Jesus! You don’t need to be ashamed of your faith in the Messiah! As you grow closer to Him, let go of your desire to protect yourself from the opinions of others. Jesus’s opinion is the one that truly matters!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 6, as he continues his message, Daniel in the Lion’s Den.

In the United States, we have an incredible amount of freedom, and we often take it for granted! Millions of people around the world are being persecuted for their faith right now. They have to meet and worship God secretly. If they’re caught, they might be executed! Every Christian around the world (especially in America) needs to be ready to give up everything for Jesus! Our freedoms can be taken away! Today, Pastor John will encourage us to follow Daniel’s example, standing firm no matter the cost!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 6, as he begins his message, Daniel in the Lion’s Den.

If you knew that today was your last day on Earth, what would you do? Would you party it up and check things off your bucket list? Would you call all of your friends and family and say goodbye? Today, Pastor John will tell you that the most important thing you could ever do is repent and place your faith in Jesus! God knows when your time here will be up, but you don’t! So avoid the mistake of putting off coming to Christ! Today is the day of salvation! Not tomorrow, or next week! Today!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 5, as he continues his message, The Handwriting is on the Wall.

So many people today feel secure and invincible. Maybe they’re young and think they have decades of life ahead of them. Or maybe they’re at the heights of their careers and feel like they’ve conquered the world. Whatever the case, nobody is truly safe and secure outside of Christ! Today, Pastor John will open up the story of a pagan king who had everything taken away from him in a moment. Have you bowed before King Jesus, asking Him to forgive you of your sins? What’s stopping you from doing so today?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 5, as he begins his message, The Handwriting is on the Wall.

Life is a long series of opportunities to repent. God doesn’t just give us one moment in which we can turn to Him. He gives us thousands! The Lord is gracious and merciful, and He desires that everyone on this planet would place their faith in Him. But He won’t force anyone to follow Him. Today, Pastor John will encourage us to repent while there’s still time! God doesn’t guarantee that you and I will be here tomorrow. But He does assure us that He will never forsake us once we turn to Him!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 4, as he continues his message, The Sin God Will Not Tolerate.

When the Bible talks about your heart, it means everything that makes you you! Your heart is the center of your emotions. It influences your mind and how you think. The word “heart” is almost interchangeable with the word “soul” in Scripture. All of these things are what God desires from you! Today, Pastor John will challenge you to surrender more of your heart to the Lord. If you’ve been following Jesus for years, great! Give Him more of yourself! And if you haven’t made that commitment, pray about that today!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 4, as he begins his message, The Sin God Will Not Tolerate.

Trusting that God’s plan is perfect and resting in that truth is much easier said than done. We all desire control. It’s hard for us to let go of our future and leave it in the Lord’s hands. But that’s exactly what He calls us to do every single day! And when we put our doubts aside and think about it rationally, obviously God has our best interests in mind! We see His goodness constantly, so why wouldn’t we trust Him? Today, Pastor John will challenge us to do just that, letting go of our fears for the future, and resting in faith.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Faith in the Fiery Furnace.

If your yard is anything like mine, it’s 80% weeds and maybe 20% grass. Years ago, it was a lot prettier and not overrun by those invasive plants. Jealousy is like a weed! It starts out seeming innocent and harmless, but it spreads rapidly and is hard to stop once it gets going. It chokes out what is good and replaces it with something bitter and ugly. Today, Pastor John will tell you to ruthlessly purge the jealousy from your life! Don’t let the spiritual garden of your heart be corrupted by the weeds of envy!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Faith in the Fiery Furnace.

Our God is the One true God, and He speaks truth! The Lord has blessed us more than we could possibly comprehend by giving us His Word! The Bible answers all of our questions, encourages us in every season of life, and challenges us to live for Jesus in everything! Today, Pastor John will remind us that God is not silent when we face trials. He knows and cares for us more than anyone else ever could! So hold on to the truths of Scripture, and allow them to give you boldness to share the gospel with the world!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The God of Dreams.

There is a God in heaven! Those six words change absolutely everything! Because we know that God is always in control, we don’t have to fear what the world fears! Pain is temporary, evil will be destroyed in the end, and even death is powerless against our risen King! Today, Pastor John will encourage us with the truths that God is good and that He is sovereign over everything. Hold on to hope, even in the darkest times of your life, because your Savior sees you and He has a perfect plan of redemption!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The God of Dreams.

God is all-powerful, and He knows everything. These two facts allow us to have 100% confidence that God is in control! He sees the whole picture and isn’t bound by time like we are. He always has been, and He always will be. Nothing surprises Him, nor could ever mess up His plan! The Lord is uniquely able to weave even the worst parts of our stories into something beautiful! Today, Pastor John will encourage us to rest in the power and wisdom of God. Keep in mind that He will never forsake you.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The God of Dreams.

Sadly, it’s easy to take God’s decision to send Jesus to earth for granted. But think about what it meant for the Lord to do that! The infinite, omnipresent Son of God confined Himself to the form of a tiny baby in Mary’s womb. He grew up facing the same challenges that all kids and teenagers face, but without sinning. He lived among broken and hurting people like us, and He was willing to die to save all who believe in Him! Today, Pastor John will emphasize that Jesus didn’t wait for us to reach Him; He came to us!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The God of Dreams.

It’s so easy to compromise our morals and commit “little” sins. We offer rationalizations and excuses, denying that what we’ve done is really harmful. We even compare ourselves to other people who seem more sinful than we are. But none of this is honoring to God or acceptable. Today, Pastor John will say that the Lord wants everything we have in us! God desires that our hearts, minds, and souls would be transformed by His love! And He promises to reward those who resist sin and are faithful to Him.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Dare To Be A Daniel.

Over and over again in the Old Testament, we hear stories of pagan gods being compared with the One true God. One thing that’s consistent in all of those accounts is that our God never loses! He is faithful and holy, He is always in control, and He loves His children more deeply than we can comprehend! Today, Pastor John will invite us to reflect upon the glory of our great and incredible God. He never fails, He never gives up on us, and He has conquered sin and death forever! How could we not give Him praise?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Daniel, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Dare To Be A Daniel.

Did you know that the Bible has many instructions about “work”? Pastor John goes over several of these in today’s message. God said to rest one day, yes, but He also said to work six days. And He told us how we are to work: as for Christ, not for man. And He also told us what to do when we have believers in the church who WILL NOT work. He’s not talking about those who “can’t,” but those who “will not.” You have a responsibility to work, and you have a responsibility to call others to work.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he continues his message, How to Deal with the Disobedient.

What do you do when you’re in an organization, and there’s someone in the group who’s perpetually causing discord? Well, if you approach it from a worldly standpoint, you might try gossiping about them. Or you could sabotage their work with the boss. But what should a Christian do when this happens in the church? Today, Pastor John explains that, yes, this does sometimes happen, and yes, there are instructions in the Bible about how to handle it. And the keyword is LOVE.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he begins his message, How to Deal with the Disobedient.

What does it mean to “trust” God? Some people think that if they do the right things, God is somehow “obligated” to reciprocate with nice blessings. Others see trust in God as the very thing that sustains them when they don’t get what they ask for. Today, Pastor John shares the apostle Paul’s hopes for the church in Thessalonica: that they pray, they trust God, and they obey God. Paul needed their prayers. Your pastor needs your prayers. Paul trusted in God, despite circumstances. So must you.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he begins his message, A Pastor’s Desire For God’s People.

When you look at the world, or even our nation, you see a lot of messed-up things and messed-up people. Why is that? Pastor John shows today that what’s missing is our foundation upon the Truth of God. Of course, it’s easier to look at the “others” and see where they’re not following God. It’s the other countries. It’s the other political party. It’s my boss, or my spouse, or my next-door neighbor. But if this world is going to return to Christ, in humility, it has to start with you and me.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, Standing In The Truth.

If you were to ask people, “what’s the greatest need in the world today?”, what kinds of answers would you get? Probably world peace – the end of war. Then there’s saving the planet – the environment. And justice for the oppressed – which would be accomplished by whichever political party you favor. But as Pastor John shows today, none of those answers will solve the world’s greatest need. The root of all of mankind’s problems is the human heart. And the only solution is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Standing In The Truth.

“When’s the Antichrist coming?” “Who’s the Antichrist?” “How will we recognize him?” If these are your concerns, Pastor John has a word for you today: you’re asking the wrong questions. Don’t be thinking about those, because – if you’re a Christian – they’re not your problem. Who should you be looking for? Not the Anti-Christ, but Jesus Christ. So, when you see the world getting darker, when you see churches falling farther and farther away from God’s Truth, what can you do? Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, Confusion Over Christ Coming.

If you’ve been alive for more than a few decades, you’ve probably heard quite a list of people who’ve been proposed to be the Antichrist. And it was the same for your parents, and your parents’ parents, and generations going all the way back to apostolic times. But today, Pastor John has a word of relief for you: the Antichrist isn’t here yet. And you’re not in the Great Tribulation. But there are things you need to be thinking about and doing now, regardless of when things may happen in the future.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 as he begins his message Confusion Over Christ Coming.

It can be tough to hear people blaspheme the Name of God. And that’s true whether they’re using it as a casual curse or they’re out-and-out attacking it. And furthermore, they attack not only the Name of God, but also the people of God. That includes you. What does God plan to do about it? Today, Pastor John has an assurance that should help you in times of persecution: God will render justice in the end. His Name, and His people, will be vindicated, and you’ll participate in the glory of God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Encouragement For Suffering Saints.

If you have a Christian brother or sister you really appreciate, what do you say to them? On one hand, you might be reluctant to praise them too highly, because they might become proud. But on the other hand, if you don’t say anything, you’re not really encouraging them as you should. Today, Pastor John has the solution. It’s the same solution illustrated by the apostle Paul: Tell them that you thank God for them. That way, you’re saying the encouraging things you want, but you’re giving the credit to God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Encouragement For Suffering Saints.

Have you ever asked someone what you could do for them, and they asked you simply, “pray for me”? Did you think to yourself, “can’t I do something more?” Today, Pastor John shares a fascinating insight into the writings of the apostle Paul. Over and over, and over again, what does Paul ask the recipients of his letters to do for him? “Pray for me.” If it was important enough for Paul to constantly ask people to pray for him, who could you ask to pray for you? Who could you pray for?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Paul’s Prayerful Postscript.

If you were writing a letter to a beloved friend, and you wanted to make sure not to leave out anything important, how would you end your letter? Today, Pastor John describes the apostle Paul’s closing of his letter to the Christians in Thessalonica as a “PS.” And what does Paul emphasize? Be set apart for God. This is the process called “sanctification.” It means that you’re no longer divided in your loyalties, as far as who you serve. Your life is being conformed to God’s purposes and his service.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Paul’s Prayerful Postscript.

In your local church, what’s your pastor’s job? Probably he preaches on Sunday mornings, and maybe teaches a bible class. But is he supposed to do everything for the church, or is there work for everyone else? Today, Pastor John talks about the roles of pastors and the roles of members. And the role of every member is to be a “minister.” You have a calling to take care of your fellow believers. And this includes those who are unruly, those who are faint-hearted, and those who are spiritually at risk.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Life In The Local Church.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a “perfect” church? The leaders would be servants, the members would be harmonious, and the worship would be engaging. But today, Pastor John shows how unbiblical it is to try to find or make a church according to your own liking. The Bible clearly describes the importance of being a committed member of a biblically faithful church. Your leaders won’t be perfect, but they’ll be faithful. Your calling is to serve your brothers and sisters in your local congregation.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Life In The Local Church.

How “alert” are you? When you’re driving a car, are you regularly scanning the traffic all around and on the horizon so you can be prepared to take action if necessary? When there’s a time deadline on a school report or a job deliverable, are you staying on track? Today, Pastor John talks about an alertness which is much more critical: spiritual alertness. Are you sleeping spiritually, or maybe just drowsy or groggy? Or are you staying alert, focused on Jesus, His mission, and His coming?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Rapture Not Wrath.

People have differing ideas about the future. Some imagine a utopia, fueled by science and technology. Others see trouble on the horizon. But as Christians, what should we be expecting? Pastor John shows today that the future of the human race doesn’t depend on our own efforts. Because God has already stated His plan: Jesus will return, and He has already declared what the future will be. Where are you on the “hope” spectrum? Trusting in human effort? Fearing human evil? Or hoping in Jesus?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Rapture Not Wrath.

What happens to people after they die? This has been a question asked by human civilizations as far back as we can find. And there have been many suggested answers. So, how do you know which one is correct? Pastor John suggests today: ask the only One who has ever died, and then risen from the dead: the Lord Jesus Christ. And what Jesus taught about life after death, He gave to His apostles, and they passed His teachings on as the Word of God. That’s something you can count on!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he continues his message The Rapture Of The Church.

Has anyone ever asked you to find the word “Rapture” in an English translation of the Bible? If so, did you find it? Today, Pastor John explains: there are some words that you won’t find in the Bible, such as “Trinity” and “providence,” but we still understand their truth from the Bible. And “Rapture” is one of those words, unless you’re reading a Latin Bible, from which our English word “rapture” is transliterated. But what’s the main point? Jesus is coming back for you, and you will be with Him forever.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he begins his message The Rapture Of The Church.

You’ve probably heard that the city we call “Philadelphia” can be translated as the city of “brotherly love.” But what does that mean? Is it just that they all root for the same football team? Or that they all agree about politics? Do they all take care of each other? Of course, as Pastor John shows today, brotherly love is not something you can manufacture by sticking a name on your city… or on your church, or your family, or yourself. It’s a gift from God. His Holy Spirit teaches you how to love others.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he begins his message Walk In Brotherly Love.

The most misused word in the English language today has got to be “love.” As a Christian, you know that love isn’t just a feeling you have. It certainly isn’t doing what you enjoy, especially at someone else’s expense. Today, Pastor John shows how your Christian love must operate. It must look to the highest good of the object loved. And one of the ways to do this, is to live a life of purity. Being pure doesn’t just affect your own self; it also affects everyone else within your sphere of influence.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he continues his message Walking In Purity.

One of the phrases that we hear used a lot in the New Testament is “to walk.” There are several commands about how Christians should walk. But what does “walking” actually mean? Today, Pastor John explains that for someone to be able to walk, first of all, they have to be alive. To walk in Christ is possible only after being born again into Christ. And secondly, walking implies going from one place to another. When you walk in Christ, you’re going somewhere spiritually. Where are you walking today?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he begins his message Walking In Purity.

If you look around your church, who do you see? Probably the most noticeable people are those who are the most mature in their Christianity. After all, they’re the ones who tend to become pastors, worship leaders, teachers, and ministry leads. But today, Pastor John has a reminder: there are also new, young, inexperienced, novice Christians in your congregation. And God is calling you to minister to them. Someone took you under their wing when you were a new Christian. Now it’s time for you to do the same.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he begins his message How to be a Caring Christian.

If you were to survey the many religions of the world, you’d find a lot of ideas ABOUT God – who God is, what He’s like, et cetera, et cetera. But today, Pastor John describes someone who didn’t speak about God; he spoke from God. When the apostle Paul was speaking to the church in Thessalonica, the people there recognized: not the word of a man, but the word of God. And when you read what Paul wrote, you’re also hearing the Word of God. And that will give you the power to live the Christian life.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Strength For The Battle.

Who are your heroes in the Bible? Depending on your personality and position in life, there are many great options. Today, Pastor John talks about a model he’s always aspired to follow: the prophet Samuel. And specifically, he admires the way that Samuel was able to get to the end of his entire ministry, and no one could accuse him of being self-serving. That’s Pastor John’s heart for himself. And as a model, he’s setting the example for you, as you think about the people to whom you minister.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 2.

When you think of a Christian leader, what do you envision? Whether we’re talking about a pastor of a church, a youth group worker, or a mom or a dad, what does it mean to be someone whom other Christians will be following? Today, Pastor John lays out two more metaphors from the apostle Paul of the model minister: He treats people like a mother and like a father. And these roles are for everyone: the Bible uses both metaphors to show you how to treat others; they are both important.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 2.

What are the marks of a model minister? If you were to ask a lot of people, they’d say he has to be funny, engaging, friendly, and most of all – positive! Pastor John has a different view of that today: the genuine, biblical minister is not about pleasing the people; he’s about pleasing God. Take an inventory of yourself: Who do you listen to? Both at your church and online, are you hearing from people who are teaching what Jesus and the apostles taught? Or something else? Something you “like” better.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 1.

When you read the New Testament and you look at the lives of notable figures like Peter and Paul, how do you relate to them personally? Do you think they’re so far removed from you that you have nothing to learn from them? Or do you try to find common ground? Today, Pastor John has a reminder, as he begins looking at the faithful ministers of the New Testament: ALL Christians are to be ministers of God. And you can always learn and apply what you observe in their lives to your own.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 1.
