In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Numbers 14:22–23, where the Israelites, after witnessing God’s miracles, refused to trust Him and were kept from entering the Promised Land. Though they were still God’s people, their unbelief cost them joy and opportunity. Pastor John reminds us that the same principle applies today: God loves us unconditionally, but faith and obedience keep us in step with His best. If you’ve ever felt distant from God’s blessing...
2025-10-2103 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonBe holy because God is holyHoliness has always been God’s desire for His people. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Leviticus 19:2, where God says, “You must be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.” In the Old Testament, holiness was expressed through animal sacrifices and priestly rituals that pointed to humanity’s sin and God’s perfection. But through Jesus—the Lamb of God and our eternal High Priest—we now have direct access to the Father without temple sacrifices. Pastor John explains that holiness is no longer about earning salvation; it’s our response of gratitude for what Christ...
2025-10-2002 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonGod sees your suffering and still has a planWhen life feels unfair or painful, it’s easy to wonder if God is paying attention. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Exodus 3:7–10, where God tells Moses, “I have seen the oppression of My people… I have heard their cries… I am aware of their suffering.” Even after 400 years of slavery in Egypt, God had a plan to deliver His people—and He still sees and cares for you today. Pastor John reminds us that God often calls ordinary people, like Moses, to be part of His rescue plan for others. If you’ve ever questioned wheth...
2025-10-1903 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonGod’s promise to bless you so you can bless othersFrom the very beginning, God’s heart has been to bless His people so they can bless the world. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Genesis 12:2–3, where God promises Abraham, “I will bless you and make you into a great nation… all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” Pastor John explains how this ancient promise points to Jesus—Abraham’s descendant—and continues today through every believer. When you follow Christ, you become part of God’s global mission to bring His love and truth to the nations. If you’ve ever wondered what i...
2025-10-1802 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonYou are created in the image of GodYou are valuable—not because of what you do, but because of who made you. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Genesis 1:27, where God declares that He created human beings in His own image, male and female. This truth means your worth isn’t defined by your income, appearance, or what others think of you; it’s built into your very design by the Creator of the universe. Pastor John reminds you that you are precious to God, uniquely crafted for relationship with Him, and deeply loved. If you’ve forgotten your God-given value, this episode...
2025-10-1701 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonWhy nations and cities matter to GodGod cares about more than individual hearts—He cares about nations and cities too. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues *The Time Is Now* series in Matthew 4:11–13, where Jesus leaves the wilderness and begins His ministry among real people in real places. Pastor John explains how nations appear throughout Scripture—from Israel to the Great Commission to Revelation—and why believers should pray for their nation without idolizing it. Loving your country is good, but Christ must always come first. If you’ve wondered how to balance faith and patriotism, this episode reminds you that the true hope...
2025-10-1503 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonAre you dedicated to God’s mission or just dabbling?God doesn’t just call us to salvation—He calls us to dedication. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues *The Time Is Now* series in Matthew 4:10, where Jesus resists Satan’s final temptation by declaring, “Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.” Pastor John challenges believers to examine whether they are dependable teammates in God’s mission or merely dabbling in faith. The body of Christ depends on every believer using their gifts, time, and resources for God’s glory. If you’ve been feeling spiritually passive, this episode will inspire you to renew your commitment...
2025-10-1400 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonFollowing God even when obedience hurtsSometimes the Spirit of God leads us into places that are difficult, not comfortable. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on Matthew 4:1–2, where Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tested by the devil. Though He was hungry, tired, and alone, Jesus obeyed. Pastor John challenges us to ask: will we still follow God when His path includes sacrifice? True faith means trusting that God’s will is good, even when it requires denial, waiting, or surrender. If you’ve ever wondered why obedience feels costly, this episode will encourage you to follow...
2025-10-1300 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonWhat you worship reveals whose side you’re onEvery person worships something—whether God, money, success, or self. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues *The Time Is Now* series in Matthew 4:9, where Satan tempts Jesus to bow down and worship him in exchange for power. Jesus refuses, showing that worship determines whose side we’re on. Pastor John explains that even good things—our careers, families, or security—can become idols if they take first place in our hearts. Through repentance, we return God to His rightful place as King. If you’ve been trusting in anything more than Christ, this episode invites you to surrend...
2025-10-1200 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonJesus versus Satan: the battle for the nationsIn Matthew 4, Satan takes Jesus to a high mountain and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world, offering power in exchange for disobedience. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reveals the deeper spiritual reality behind that moment: the battle for nations, people, and worship. Though Satan is called the prince of this world, Jesus came to set us free from his rule. Pastor John explains how Christ’s victory breaks the chains of sin and demonic oppression, and why believers can live without fear—protected by God and surrounded by His angels. If you’ve ever felt t...
2025-10-1103 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonWhy Jesus faced temptation and what it means for usWhen Jesus was led into the wilderness, He entered a direct battle between good and evil. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson begins a new series called “The Time Is Now,” exploring how Christ’s temptation in Matthew 4 shows us the depth of His humanity and the power of His victory. After forty days of fasting, Jesus faced Satan at His weakest point—and still remained sinless. Pastor John reminds us that every temptation we face, Jesus has faced and overcome. Because of His obedience, His holiness is now credited to us. If you’ve ever wondered how to end...
2025-10-1003 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonHow to know you have eternal life through JesusDo you know for sure that you have eternal life? In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues the “Whose Side Are You On?” series in John 1:12–13 and John 3:16, showing that being born again means believing in Jesus as your Savior and receiving His gift of eternal life. None of us are born on God’s side—we must choose to believe, repent, and receive Christ’s forgiveness. Pastor John explains that when you confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, you are adopted into God’s family, filled with His Spirit, and promised e...
2025-10-0903 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonWhat it really means to be born againWhat does it mean to be “born again”? In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explains John 1:13, where God’s Word teaches that those who believe in Jesus are not born of human effort but are reborn by the Spirit of God. This spiritual birth happens the moment you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior—it’s not a physical rebirth, but a new life from above. Pastor John shares how this miracle transforms everything: you are forgiven, made new, and adopted into God’s family. If you’ve recently prayed to believe in Jesus or want to know what i...
2025-10-0802 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonHow to become a child of God through faith in JesusNo one is born automatically on God’s side—we must each choose to believe in Jesus. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explains John 1:12, which says that to all who believed and accepted Jesus, He gave the right to become children of God. We are all created by God, but we only become His children when we receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. Pastor John shows how that moment of faith changes everything: our sins are forgiven, the chains of sin are broken, and we are adopted into God’s family forever. If you’ve never made tha...
2025-10-0704 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonWhen even God’s chosen people rejected JesusRejection cuts deep, and Jesus knows that pain. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on John 1:11, which says that Jesus came to His own people, yet they did not receive Him. Though the Jewish nation had been promised a Messiah and were eagerly awaiting Him, many turned away when He arrived. Pastor John explains how this rejection opened the door for all nations to be grafted into God’s family through faith in Christ, like branches joined to a living tree. If you’ve ever experienced rejection, this episode offers hope: Jesus understands, and He invites you...
2025-10-0600 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonWhen the world fails to recognize its CreatorHave you ever felt overlooked or unrecognized for something good you’ve done? Jesus knows that feeling better than anyone. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks John 1:10, which says that Jesus came into the very world He created, yet the world did not recognize Him. Though He had every right to demand glory, Jesus chose the path of humility—even enduring rejection, mockery, and the cross. Pastor John reminds us that to be on God’s side means believing in this humble yet all-powerful Savior who loved us enough to enter our brokenness. If you’ve ever lon...
2025-10-0502 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonThe true light who created everything and came for usJesus is the light by which we see—all of creation and all of life flows from Him. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on John 1:9, which declares that the true light gives light to everyone. This same Jesus who spoke galaxies into existence humbled Himself to take on human form, entering our world as a baby, walking in poverty, and ultimately giving His life on the cross. Pastor John reminds us that the Creator of the universe became one of us out of love, so that we could receive eternal life. Even if you have no...
2025-10-0402 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonBeing a faithful witness who points to JesusEven the greatest spiritual leaders are not the light—they are only witnesses who point to it. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks John 1:8, which says that John the Baptist himself was not the light but came to testify about Jesus. Pastor John reminds us that while we may honor those who introduced us to faith, it is Jesus alone who deserves our worship and devotion. Just as John the Baptist boldly declared, “This is the Messiah,” we are called to point people to Christ, even when it costs us comfort, reputation, or more. If you want t...
2025-10-0303 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonPointing others to the light of JesusEvery believer has the same calling: to point people to Jesus. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks John 1:6–7, where God sent John the Baptist to testify about the light so that everyone might believe. John’s mission was not to draw attention to himself but to direct hearts to Christ. Pastor John reminds us that this is our role, too—whether we’re brand-new in the faith or have walked with Jesus for years. We share the good news in a way that removes distractions and shines a clear spotlight on the Savior. If you long to help...
2025-10-0202 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonThe darkness can never extinguish the light of ChristDo you ever feel like good and evil are battling right in front of you? In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks John 1:5, which promises that the light of Jesus shines in the darkness and the darkness can never overcome it. From Roman emperors to modern tyrants, history has shown repeated attempts to snuff out God’s Word and God’s people—yet the light continues to shine. Pastor John reminds us that the same light that has carried the church for two thousand years is now alive in you. As you follow Jesus, you can expect opposi...
2025-10-0102 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonHow Jesus brings light to a darkened worldWhat you choose to believe about Jesus determines whose side you are on. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues in John 1:4, where Scripture reveals that the Word—Jesus—gave life to everything created, and His life brings light to everyone. Long before history’s Enlightenment, God promised that true spiritual light comes only through Christ. Pastor John explains how Jesus opens blind eyes, breaks chains of sin, and fills us with His Spirit so we can live in freedom. If you’ve wondered how to be certain you are on God’s side, this episode shows why choosi...
2025-09-3000 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonChoosing God’s side in a world of deceptionEvery person is on one of two sides: God’s or Satan’s. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks John 1:3, which reveals that Jesus is not only the Word of God but also the Creator through whom all things were made. To be on God’s side means more than admiring Jesus as a good teacher—it means believing He is the one true God, Savior, and Creator. Pastor John leads a prayer of surrender and faith, reminding us that eternal life comes only through Christ’s blood shed on the cross and His victory over death. If...
2025-09-2902 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonWhose side are you on in the spiritual battle?In a world divided by sides, the most important question is whether you are on God’s side. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson begins a new series in John 1, where Jesus is revealed as the Word—eternal, divine, and the source of all truth. From the very beginning, He was with God and He is God, and every belief about Him determines our eternal destiny. Pastor John explains how this spiritual battle is not just between opinions, but between truth and lies, light and darkness, God and Satan. Discover why your choice about Jesus is the most...
2025-09-2803 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonHow jealousy and anger can destroy familiesWhy do families so often fall into conflict? In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson takes us to Genesis 4:8, where Cain lured his brother Abel into the fields and committed the first murder recorded in Scripture. Cain’s jealousy grew into hatred, and his unchecked anger led to tragedy. Pastor John reminds us that the same dangers threaten our homes today—resentment and unforgiveness, if left to fester, will always bear destructive fruit. Yet Romans 12 points us to a different way: letting God transform our thinking so we can forgive as Christ has forgiven us. If you’ve ever w...
2025-09-2602 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonNo One Is Hopeless with GodIn today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reminds us of theme four in the book of Nehemiah: God changes hearts and God changes people. The same Israelites who once lived far from God became worshippers, bowing down and lifting their hands in praise. This transformation is possible for anyone who turns to Him. No addiction, no broken marriage, no wandering heart is beyond God’s reach. As Pastor John shares, the church has seen hundreds of lives changed this year alone—and the story isn’t over. Be encouraged: with God, no person is hopeless.
2025-09-1600 minDaily Hope with Pastor John S. DickersonYour Eternal Home: The New Heaven and New EarthThis world still holds beauty, but it’s broken by sin, death, and decay. In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reminds us of Jesus’ promise in John 14:3: “I go to prepare a place for you…that where I am, you may also be.” For 2,000 years, Christ has been preparing a new heaven and a new earth—one without pain, regret, or death. Just as Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem, Jesus is building an eternal home for His people. Every act of faith, every prayer, every sacrifice today has eternal significance. Lift your eyes higher—your ultimate hope is in the perfect k...
