Episodes
So what exactly was the Jewish event called "Pentacost"? In "Set Apart", Pastor John describes the feast, but more importantly, discussed what happened during the first Pentacost after the crucifixion of Jesus.
Why is it important to understand the prophecies mentioned in the book of Daniel? In "Daniel's Heavenly Short", Pastor John reminds us that the Bible is always spot on with its historical prophecies. Because of this, we should trust the Bible to be accurate with its prophecies that are yet to come.
How accurately was the predicted date of when the Messiah would be "cut off"? In "The Anointed One", Pastor John shows how the exact year was prophesied over 400 years before it happened, providing another proof that Jesus is indeed Israel's Messiah.
What if you were told to not pray? In "integrity in Faith" Pastor John describes how Daniel faced the same situation, but chose to honor God.
How do you live out one's faith as God would call one to do? In "Comprehension and Courage", Phil Puleo outlines that there are three key components that produce culture engaging Christian leaders.
What does it mean when it is said "you will either have humility or humiliation"? In the "Pride Test", Pastor John discusses how when don't listen for God's direction, we naturally move forward with incomplete understanding, and set ourselves up for failure. Instead, stop relying on your own "wisdom" and ask God for His perspective.
What is "true worship"? In "A Clear Difference in Worship" Pastor John describes the various methods that the world tries to counterfeit the Kingdom of God, and how this counterfeit always rules through fear and control.
Do people control the plans God has for you? In "God is in Control of All", Pastor John reminds us that people can call you anything they want, but they can't change the calling God has put into you.
What are these two spirits? In "Two Spirits at Work", Pastor John explains that the only way we can know we are being influenced by something other than God, is to know God.
What is the root cause of worry? In "Your Step", Pastor John highlighted, that while following Jesus' instructions to not worry can be hard using our own strength and wisdom, if we truly trust Him and what he is doing, then we can have peace since we know he will make a way and it will all work out.
Are you asking yourselves, "how can I make a difference?" In "Make a Difference", Pastor John explains that God has not only made you, the Holy Spirit has empowered you and "supercharged" you to make a difference. Jesus said this life in Christ is abundant!
If you can do anything for the rest of your life, what would it be? In "Discover Your Purpose" Pastor John reminds us that God made us all and He gave us special talents and gifts…and those things are to be used for His Kingdom, glory, and to bless others.
What is the "freedom" that Jesus mentions? In "Find Freedom", Pastor John explains while some would say "I'm free to do whatever I want", perhaps we can ask ourselves "am I happy and fulfilled where I am right now, and if not, what might be in the way"? How might our hurt and pain caused by behaviors and issues we've carried for so long be removed?
We know Jesus' command to go and make disciples, but how do we do that or what do we say? In "Know God", Pastor John reminds us that it is God who saves, but He has given us tools, such as His Word, to use to share the Good News.
What are four important things that we would like visitors to West Ridge to find? In "Vision Day" Pastor John explains how we should help everyone to 1) Know God, to 2) Find Freedom, to 3) Discover their purpose, and finally, to learn how to 4) Make a difference.
How do we build relationships with someone we care about? In "The Lord's Prayer", Pastor John shows us through Jesus' teaching about prayer, that we not only ask God for things in prayer, we listen to his leading and so learn more about His desires and heart for us.
Is prayer a priority for you? In "Power of Prayer" Pastor John asked us if we are spending time with the Lord every day? Are we seeking His direction or are we going on our own strength? We know which is better.
What did Jesus say about how we are to fast? In "Prayer and Fasting" Pastor John explains that, just like when we pray, don't do it to gain favor (or sympathy!) from others, but we rather do it in secret where the Lord alone sees.
Are you worried about situations in your life right now? In "Christmas Wisdom" Pastor John explains how even though this world may be full of trouble, Jesus says "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NKJV)
What would be the best gift you could possibly receive this Christmas? In "The Best Gift" Pastor John describes that one and the next best one that all Christians have already received - but maybe don't fully use it.
