In “First Love,” Pastor J.D. looks at what Ephesians 5 has to say about building gospel-centered relationships—not just in marriage, but in every relationship we have.

Assured Because Our Love For Others

In “Assured,” Pastor J.D. looks at the book of 1 John and answers the question, “How can I know for sure that I’m saved?” God wants us to be confident in our salvation so we can stop worrying about where we stand with him and finally rest in him.

The Skeptic

In “Can’t Believe,” Pastor J.D. looks at several characters from the book of John, people who might have wanted to believe, but—for whatever reason—felt like they just couldn't.

Our prayer is that those who don’t yet believe in Jesus would trust him for the first time, and that believers would re-learn what it means to believe in him.
