Ask Pastor John

The Lord takes away not so that we experience loss, but so that we know the fullness of hope and joy only Jesus Christ offers.

God’s grace is sufficient for our every weakness — even the subtle weakness of taking pride in our own “strength.”

Sex isn’t a topic the church should be embarrassed about. In fact, our God-given sexuality offers us an opportunity to display fundamental truths about God and his world.

When sex becomes all about “my pleasure,” it corrupts a pleasure that God intended to be shared and enjoyed in close, intimate relationship.

God has set boundaries for sex not because he wants to deny us some hidden pleasure, but because he wants us to experience the best joy possible.

What happens when a postmodern perspective on good and evil collides with a breathtaking tragedy like the holocaust?

Our hearts have a natural drive to seek glory. But unless we find that desire in God, we will never experience the satisfaction we so crave.

Unless our pursuit of pleasure has proper boundaries, we’ll always come up short of the lasting joy we’re looking for.

Jesus tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. But what about enemies who constantly kill and destroy innocent life like ISIS?

Sex may be a natural, physical act, but the union of a man and woman is from God himself. Only those with eyes to see can truly know the wonders of the marriage bed.
