Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks one of the most astonishing prophecies in Scripture—Daniel 9. Written over 500 years before Jesus was born, Daniel was given specific timelines that point directly to the Messiah, His crucifixion, and even the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. These predictions align with history in remarkable detail, showing us again that God’s Word is trustworthy and true. As we look at fulfilled prophecy, we’re reminded that Christ will return just as Scripture promises.

Pastor John S. Dickerson continues our journey through the Bible with the book of Daniel—a powerful example of standing strong for God in a culture that rejects Him. From the lions’ den to everyday integrity, Daniel shows what it looks like to live faithfully in hostile environments. Discover how God protected him and how the same God empowers you to live boldly for Christ today.

In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues exploring the prophetic richness of the book of Ezekiel. This episode highlights Ezekiel 36:24–26, a passage written hundreds of years before Jesus that foretells God gathering His people, cleansing them, and giving them a new heart and a new spirit. Pastor John explains how this prophecy connects to both the rebirth of Israel in the 20th century and the promise Jesus gave about the Holy Spirit living within every believer. This message will deepen your confidence in God’s promises and stir renewed gratitude for the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson introduces the book of Ezekiel—one of the most vivid and prophetic books in all of Scripture. Written nearly 600 years before Christ, Ezekiel opens a window into the supernatural realm with dramatic imagery that reveals God’s holiness, power, and unwavering remembrance of those who follow Him. Pastor John highlights Ezekiel’s opening vision and reminds us that, behind the scenes of our everyday lives, God reigns over a universe far larger and more majestic than we can see. This episode will deepen your awe for God and strengthen your confidence that He has not forgotten you.

In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson opens the book of Lamentations, written by Jeremiah—the “weeping prophet.” After warning God’s people to turn back to Him, Jeremiah grieves as he witnesses the devastation that sin brings. In Lamentations 2:11 he cries, “I have cried until the tears no longer come. My heart is broken.” This book is a sobering reminder that sin always leads to suffering—but through Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness, we can turn from destruction and walk a new path of healing and hope.

In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues our look at Jeremiah with one of the clearest prophecies about Jesus. Jeremiah 23:5–6 declares, “I will raise up a righteous branch from King David’s line… and this will be his name: The Lord is our Righteousness.” Written six hundred years before Christ, this passage foretells the coming Messiah who would make us right with God through His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus fulfills this promise perfectly—and one day He will return as King of Kings to rule with justice and wisdom forever.

In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson opens the book of Jeremiah, where God calls His people to return to Him. Jeremiah 2:19 warns, “Your wickedness will bring its own punishment… you will see what an evil, bitter thing it is to abandon the Lord your God.” Six hundred years before Christ, God used Jeremiah to plead with His people to turn back before destruction came. Today, that same loving call remains—return to God, walk closely with Him, and pray for those you love to do the same.

In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Isaiah 53:5—written over seven hundred years before Jesus’ birth. “He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins… by His wounds we are healed.” This stunning prophecy describes the crucifixion of Christ in vivid detail long before it happened. Every promise came true, proving that Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah. The God who fulfilled His word then is still faithful today—carrying your sins, healing your wounds, and offering eternal hope through His Son.

In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson opens the book of Isaiah—a powerful prophetic message pointing to Jesus Christ. Isaiah 40:3 declares, “Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting, ‘Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord!’” Centuries later, John the Baptist fulfilled this prophecy as he prepared hearts for the coming of Jesus. God still calls His people today to prepare the way—by clearing out sin, pride, and distraction so that His presence can move freely in our lives and our world. Are you preparing the way for the Lord?

In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Song of Solomon 6:3, “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.” This poetic and passionate book—written by King Solomon—celebrates the beauty of love, intimacy, and God’s design for marriage. More than romance, it reflects a divine picture of Christ’s love for His people. When we live within God’s design for love and commitment, we experience the kind of joy, safety, and fulfillment He intended from the beginning. 

Could you use more wisdom in your life? In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson teaches from Proverbs 1:7—“The fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Godly wisdom is the key to lasting success in every area of life—relationships, finances, and decisions. When we humble ourselves before God and seek His guidance daily, He promises to make our paths straight. True wisdom begins when we place God first and trust His ways above our own.

When discouragement comes—and it will—God invites you to bring every emotion to Him. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Psalm 43:5, where the psalmist asks, “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God.” The book of Psalms reminds us that faith isn’t about hiding our feelings but bringing them honestly to the Lord. When you turn your sadness, fear, or anxiety into prayer, hope rises. Whatever you’re facing today, put your hope in God—your Savior and your strength.

Even when life hurts, God has not abandoned you. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Job 2:3, where God calls Job “a man of complete integrity” even in the midst of intense suffering. The book of Job reminds us that pain doesn’t mean God is against us—it means we’re living in a broken world where faith is refined. Pastor John encourages you to keep trusting God through the trials, knowing that the same God who restored Job is working for your good, even when you can’t see it.

God placed you where you are on purpose. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Esther 4:14—the powerful reminder that God raises up ordinary people in extraordinary times to accomplish His will. Just as Queen Esther risked everything to stand for God’s people, we are called to live with courage and faith in our own generation. Wherever God has placed you—your family, workplace, or community—it’s no accident. You were made for such a time as this.

Even when the walls of life lie in ruins, God can rebuild through willing hearts. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Nehemiah 6:15–16, where Nehemiah led God’s people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem in just fifty-two days. It wasn’t human strength that made it possible—it was the power and favor of God. Pastor John reminds us that God still uses faithful leaders and everyday believers to restore what’s been broken. When we trust God, work together, and keep our focus on Him, even our enemies will recognize that the work was done with the help of our God.

Even in seasons of exile and loss, God is faithful to rebuild and restore. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from Ezra 6, where God’s people—after fifty years in Babylonian captivity—return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and rediscover the Word of God. Pastor John reminds us that revival always begins with repentance and renewal of the heart. Just as God used Ezra to reintroduce Scripture and worship to a generation that had forgotten, He still moves today to awaken His people and bring light into the darkness. God can use anyone—even unlikely leaders—to rebuild what’s been broken.

When life is going well, it’s easy to drift from the God who gave the blessing. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares wisdom from 2 Chronicles 9:31 and the reigns of Solomon and Rehoboam. Solomon sought God with humility and built the temple, leading to peace and prosperity. But his son Rehoboam inherited the blessing without the devotion—and quickly led the nation into division and decline. Pastor John reminds us to seek God with the same desperation in times of blessing as we do in times of hardship, and to pray that our children will do the same. True success is staying dependent on God no matter the season.

No matter how far you’ve wandered, God is still ready to forgive and restore. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from 2 Chronicles 7:14, where God promises, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land.” Through this verse, Pastor John reminds us that repentance is always met with mercy—and that revival begins when God’s people humble themselves and return to Him. If you’re still breathing, it’s not too late to come back to God today.

God’s story never stops, and His faithfulness endures through every generation. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from 1 Chronicles 14:2, where “David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel and had greatly blessed his kingdom for the sake of His people.” Written from a priestly perspective, 1 Chronicles traces God’s promises from Adam through David, reminding us that even when nations fall or people turn away, God continues to work through a faithful remnant. Pastor John encourages believers to see their place in that story today—trusting that God’s covenant love remains unbroken and that He still blesses His people for the sake of His kingdom.

Even when the world turns away from God, He always preserves a faithful remnant. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from 2 Kings 17:13–14, where God “sent His prophets and seers to warn both Israel and Judah, saying, ‘Turn from all your evil ways and obey My commands.’ But the Israelites would not listen; they were as stubborn as their ancestors.” The people of God repeatedly rejected His voice, leading to exile and heartbreak—but a remnant stayed true, represented by prophets like Elijah. Pastor John encourages believers to stand firm today, remaining faithful to God’s Word and Spirit even as culture drifts away. This episode reminds us that God still works powerfully through those who remain steadfast in Him.
