Pastor Rick's Daily Hope

Failure is never final. You’re never a failure until you quit, and it’s always too soon to quit! In this broadcast, Pastor Rick explains what the Bible says about how we can overcome discouragement as we patiently wait to see God work in our lives.

Proverbs 29:25 says, “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe” (NIV). We cannot serve God and be constantly worried about what other people think. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick teaches what the Bible says about how we can overcome the fear of failure and move forward in our God-given purpose.

Faith is choosing and believing God’s dream for your life. Nothing starts happening in your life until you start dreaming. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick teaches three things the Bible says we can do as we walk forward in faith toward God’s plan for our lives.

True forgiveness doesn’t make sense until you have been forgiven by God. In this message, Pastor Rick shares the four things you have to do to truly forgive others. “God has done it all! He sent Christ to make peace between himself and us, and he has given us the work of making peace between himself and others” (2 Corinthians 5:18).

Forgiveness is not resuming a relationship without change. In fact, forgiveness and resuming a relationship are two different things. In this message, Pastor Rick shares three things that the Bible says are essential to resume a relationship that’s been broken.

What is real forgiveness? In this broadcast, Pastor Rick explains what it means to you that forgiveness is unconditional and that it isn’t minimizing the seriousness of the offense. The Bible says in Luke 23:34, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

The freedom to choose is our greatest blessing from God, but that also means we may make foolish choices that harm us and harm the people around us. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick helps you understand that your identity is shaped by your choices. He shows you how to make choices that will positively affect the rest of your life.

Proverbs 4:23 says, “Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts” (GNT). Your circumstances and consciousness have shaped who you are. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick teaches how the Bible says the way we respond to our circumstances and the thoughts we choose to believe will shape our lives.

Life is not about your accomplishments or acquisitions, your popularity or prestige. It’s about how well you love. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick talks about three problems that can keep us from fully and deeply loving others, and he teaches what the Bible says about overcoming these obstacles.

In this broadcast, Pastor Rick teaches from the Bible that we will never be able to make the necessary changes in our lives or fulfill God’s purpose until we understand that we are wonderfully complex and uniquely made for God’s glory.
