Revival Radio with John Miller

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.

Have you ever run across someone who sounds like a walking and talking Bible, but whose life doesn’t seem particularly Christ-like? Or, maybe you’ve met a person who identifies as a Christian, but their theology about who Jesus is is just plain bizarre. Today, Pastor John explains that the Word of God only operates correctly when it’s received through the Spirit of God. The Scriptures won’t work in your life without the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit won’t tell you what to do, in contradiction to the Scriptures.

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

If you’re looking at one of the online map applications on your phone or computer, one of the things you’ll frequently see is this-or-that “church.” But is that what a “church” actually is – a property or a building on a map? Of course not, as Pastor John emphasizes today. The church is always a reference to the “people” of Christ, not their property. And if you’re looking for a “church,” how do you pick among the many apparent options? Compare it with the church founded by Jesus.

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

What “motivates” you? Is it being healthy, or being respected at work, or having a great family life? Is it something you’re trying to acquire, such as a really nice house, car, or surfboard? Today, Pastor John has an important reminder for you: your ultimate motivation must be living for your eternal destination. And while it may be interesting to talk about the Second Coming of Christ and some of the details about it, what really matters is how it guides your current priorities in your earthly life.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Living In The Light of Christ’s Coming.

When we look around at the world, we see a lot of dysfunction: nation against nation, people against people, and internally in our own selves. Does God care about this? Is He going to let things go on and on in this distressful state? Will bad people just keep getting their way and never face the consequences? Today, Pastor John answers these questions: God brought His judgment on the world before. And He will do it again. He’s just being very, very patient, so you – and others – can get right with Him first.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Will Jesus Come Again?

Since the time of the resurrection of Christ, a lot of years have passed. The world has seen decades and centuries come and go for almost two millennia. And yet, wasn’t there some promise that Jesus made about coming again? Where is He?? Today, Pastor John explains that this apparent “delay” shouldn’t be a surprise. Even as Peter was writing his second epistle, he predicted that people would start to scoff at the idea of a Second Coming of Christ. But Jesus promised it. So: it will happen. Will you be ready?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Will Jesus Come Again?

How do you know how to pray in the will of God? Maybe you’re thinking about taking a new job. Or, you’re trying to decide on a college or a place to live. According to Pastor John, today, there are a lot of things that you can – and should – pray about. But there’s one thing you should NEVER pray for – and that’s anything that directly contradicts what God has already said in the Scriptures. So watch out, because there are plenty of people with alluring reasons who would tempt you to do so.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Teachers of Error – Part 2.

A lot of people want to “save the world.” But what that means varies quite a lot. To some, it means world peace between governments. Others are looking to create a sustainable, stable planetary environment. Today, Pastor John points to the only salvation that’s actually permanent: the eternal salvation of your soul. And that’s only available through The Way, The Truth, and The Life – Jesus Christ. But there’s an enemy trying to keep you away from Jesus. And he uses false teaching as his tool.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Teachers of Error – Part 2.

One of the things that trips people up about Christianity is: “how can there be one God in three Persons?” And another is: “how can Jesus be fully God and also fully human?” So the question for you is: is this really important, or should you skip over this confusing part when you’re explaining Christianity to others? Today, Pastor John is unequivocal: the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit IS ESSENTIAL to the gospel, as is the full divinity and full humanity of Jesus Christ. Don’t budge on these!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Teachers of Error: Their Description.

If you’ve listened to teaching about Christianity from public and private media, then you’ve heard many diverse interpretations of God’s Word. How can this be? Today, Pastor John shows that this is no surprise to God: there were false prophets in the Old Testament, and false teachers had appeared even during the writing of the New Testament. What can be tricky is when the same words are used, but they’re given different meanings than those of the authors. Be sure you’re understanding the original intent.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Teachers of Error: Their Description.

Some things are subjective: what toppings do you like on your pizza? Which color car do you want to buy? Do you prefer the beach or the mountains? But other things are objective: the answer to a problem on your math test. The force of gravity. The speed of light. Today, Pastor John asks: Are you building your life on things that are objective or subjective? If your truth is based on your feelings or your experience, it’s only as reliable as you are. But if your truth is based on the Scriptures, it’s as reliable as God Himself.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Grounded?

People are always looking for security. They want to have a good job that they can count on. Their country must have a strong national defense so they’re safe from external enemies. A paid-off house, money in the bank, and good health – these are all things on which people build their lives. Today, Pastor John says: All of these things are unreliable. But there is one solid rock foundation that will never fail. No matter what happens to you, even if you die: The Word of God endures forever.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Grounded?

How many people “live for the day?” “Who cares what the consequences will be tomorrow; I wanna do what I wanna do… today!” But Pastor John reminds us today just how important it is to consider what the results will be tomorrow. And there’s more! It’s not just tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or even when you retire. It’s eternity. As you’re going about your daily decisions, consider each one – not just on how it will affect life on earth, but on how it will affect you, and others, eternally.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Growing?

If someone wants to be an athlete, what does he or she do? If a person wants to learn a second language, how do they go about doing that? If you wanted to move up to a new position at work, what would it take? Today, Pastor John shows that growing in the Christian life is just like growing in any other endeavor. You have to find out what’s necessary and then add that to your mix. It’s great that you’ve started with faith. But is that the end of the story? Not if you want to grow! But you have to start adding.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Growing?

Take this thought experiment: Suppose that when you became a Christian, you were saved from the penalty of sin. Great! Right? Well, yes, of course. But suppose that you weren’t saved from sin’s power. The same domination that sin had over your life before you became a Christian continued on exactly the same. Would that be a “complete” salvation? Today, Pastor John proclaims the truth that salvation includes being liberated from sin’s power. God has made you a partaker of His divine nature.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Real?

A lot of people talk about having “faith.” Some people are natural optimists – they believe everything will work out well. Others may be more skeptical, but they still have faith in some particular person or institution. Today, Pastor John asks: “Does it matter in what or in whom your faith is placed?” And he answers with a resounding “Yes!” Faith, as faith is worthless, unless the object of your faith is able to deliver on its promises. And when your faith is in Jesus Christ, your faith is in God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Real?

Have you ever been in a situation where you realized you didn’t have a critical item that you needed? You went to your baseball game and forgot your glove. You were going to ride your dirt bike, but you didn’t put gas in it. Today, Pastor John talks about a critical item that you need for your spiritual life – God’s grace. And God’s grace is ALL Sufficient. Not just for initial justification, but for EVERYTHING you need in your Christian walk. Whatever critical situation you’re in, God’s grace is all you need.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Steadfast In Suffering.

Did you ever play “T-Ball” as a kid? If so, it was probably fairly safe and easy. Because the teams you played against were at approximately the same skill level. But imagine you’re a six-year-old T-Baller, and the opposing team that shows up is a Major League baseball team. How would you feel? Today, Pastor John points out how you can come up against an opponent you never want to face: God. All you have to do is be “proud.” Because God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Steadfast In Suffering.

If you lived in the First Century, and you wanted to know about the person and work of Jesus Christ, whom would you ask? It would be great to talk with someone who’d been healed or had heard Him speak. But today, Pastor John has a better example: Peter. He saw Jesus both suffering (on the cross) and glorified (on the mount of transfiguration). So, when Peter explains what a Pastor should be, he’s talking from personal experience. The greatest qualification of your Pastor must be this: he must know Jesus.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Portrait Of A Pastor.

We love to read the Bible stories where someone who trusted in God was delivered. Daniel was protected from lions. Esther was saved from the king. David was spared multiple times. But what about the people who weren’t delivered? Today, Pastor John points out that in some cases, God saved His faithful followers from death. But in other cases, He allowed them to suffer, even unto death. Neither was the result of greater or lesser holiness. But there’s one thing you can always be sure of: God is in control.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, Suffering As A Christian.

You often hear people talk about “luck.” “Wow, that sure was good luck!” Or “oh, that was terribly bad luck.” It’s as though things just “happen,” by themselves, at random, for no particular reason. But is that true? Not if you believe in God, according to Pastor John today. Because God has everything under control. If something distressing or harmful happens to you, it’s never by “happenstance.” It’s always by Providence. So, whether you’re prospering, or suffering, God has a purpose in it – for your good.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he begins his message, Suffering As A Christian.

What are some of the most important things to keep in mind when you’re living in the Last Days spoken of in the New Testament? Probably you’ve thought of things like: “be sober,” and “watch and pray.” Today, Pastor John says, “yes”, those are two of the things you must do. But there are others. And they have to do with your relationships with your fellow Christians. Here are some examples: have fervent love, practice hospitality without grudging, and use your gifts to serve others.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, Living In The Last Days.

Sometimes you’ll hear a lot of buzz and excitement talking about the End Times, and the Last Days, and what’s gonna happen when. How should you react? Today, Pastor John shows that the New Testament has several very specific instructions about how you should live in these Last Days. And first and foremost: be sober. But what does that really mean? Do this: Keep calm. Don’t lose your sense of balance. Preserve your sanity. Then, you can continue on to the second instruction: watch and pray.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he brings his message, Living In The Last Days

If your goal is to become more like Jesus, how will you do that? There are probably many good answers you can think of, but how about this one from Pastor John today? “Be persecuted.” Huh? Yes, believe it or not, if you have the correct response to persecution, it can actually make a huge contribution toward developing a life of holiness. When you have the right attitudes, ambitions, activities, associations, and assurances, God will work holiness in your life – through the persecution you receive.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, How To Face Suffering.

If you’re a Christian, your greatest aspiration is to become more like Jesus. Your plans, your ambitions, and your goals aren’t the driving factor of your life. Rather, it’s: “what does God want?” Today, Pastor John explains what happens when you do this: not everybody will be happy with you. (Just like, not everybody was happy with Jesus.) But, not only will Jesus give you the strength to suffer with Him, but He’ll also bring about great blessings in your life – when you face your suffering in the right way.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he begins his message, How To Face Suffering.

Depending on where you live, there’s probably a favorite sports team that most people get excited about. It may be college or professional. It may be football, baseball, basketball, or something else. (If you’re in Canada, it might even be curling!)

How awesome is it when your team wins!? Today, Pastor John tells of the greatest victory ever accomplished in history. Greater than any sports team, any army, any politician. It’s the victory of Jesus Christ over death. And you can participate in His victory.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Christ’s Triumphant Suffering.

Here’s a question that probably every person has pondered: What is the purpose of suffering? What’s its “end game”? Does it have a point? Is there any value in it? Today, Pastor John answers those questions with a resounding “YES”! There’s a finish line to suffering – a goal, a destination, a final outcome, a resolution to the dissonance. It’s called “TRIUMPH.” And it’s guaranteed to you by the Author and Perfecter of your faith: Jesus Christ. His suffering ended in triumph, and so will yours.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Christ’s Triumphant Suffering.

When you’re being attacked or criticized by people, how can you know how you should respond? How should you pray? Well, according to Pastor John today, it really depends on why you’re being disparaged. If it’s because of things you’ve done that are questionable, or outright wrong, then you really need humility and repentance… and you probably need to make an apology. But… if you’re being attacked for following Christ, you don’t have to wonder. Now have assurance: you are in God’s will.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, How To Shine In Suffering.

If you’ve lived more than a few days, you’ve had opposition and criticism. Perhaps you had trouble in school – either from your teachers or from your classmates. No doubt you’ve caused some of your difficulties yourself, by your own unwise actions. Is that what it means in the Bible when it talks about suffering? According to Pastor John, today, yes, those things can cause trouble. But the kind of suffering that God truly blesses is the persecution you get specifically because you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, How To Shine In Suffering.

Suppose you have a friend at work, and you find out that they’re talking behind your back, trying to make you look bad to your boss. What do you do? Today, Pastor John has a reminder: to be like God, you must return good for evil. This isn’t something that’s humanly natural, but you can do it through the power of the Holy Spirit. Would you like the eyes of the Lord to be upon you? Would you like His ears to be open to your prayers? That’s what the Bible says will happen when you cultivate this habit.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Submission: A Path To Blessing.

Would you like to enjoy life and see good days?” Who would say “no” to that? But how do you find that kind of life? Today, Pastor John lists five attitudes that you should cultivate with the help of the Holy Spirit. And, although these might just sound like a “nice list” of good attitudes, they really do affect the quality of your life. Interestingly, everything on this particular list has to do with how you treat others. It’s just another example of how loving God manifests itself in loving other people.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Submission: A Path To Blessing.

If you listen to most shows or get advice from your friends, what kind of “marriage” advice are you likely to hear? Finances, the kids, the house, who does the dishes, blah, blah, blah – a bunch of stuff dealing with externals. Today, Pastor John blasts those ideas out of the water with his explanations of what really makes a great marriage. And, in particular, today he focuses on husbands. Did you know that the Bible has very clear details about how you can treat your wife that will result in the best possible marriage?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Submission in Marriage for Husbands.

If you’re a husband, and you hear that it says in the Bible, “husbands, love your wives,” that may not seem too difficult. Until you try to figure out what that means in the practical day-to-day realities of life. Today, Pastor John has a wonderful word of encouragement for husbands: God doesn’t just tell you to love your wife; He shows you how to love your wife, and He empowers you to do so. Today’s message is packed with theological and practical content for husbands. So: pay attention!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Submission in Marriage for Husbands.

Our world is in love with externals. There’s glitz and glamour everywhere. Media stars and social media posts are made to look as “awesome” as possible. But, how important is that, really? Today, Pastor John looks at the instructions in First Peter for how women are to be made beautiful. And it starts with the inside: an inward beauty of holiness, radiating outward, a reflection of God’s glory and God’s beauty. Whoever you are, woman or man, child or adult, let your beauty come from within you.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Submission in Marriage for Wives.

Can you think of an example in your life when you submitted to someone else, even though you didn’t agree with them? Today, Pastor John shows again that “submission” is a concept that originates in the very nature of God. Jesus Christ, God the Son, while on earth, submitted to God the Father. Yet Christ is eternally coequal with His Father. God has designed marriage in such a way that both the wife and husband have specific roles and responsibilities. Yet, as image-bearers of God, they also are co-equals.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Submission in Marriage for Wives.
