Pastor Rick's Daily Hope

If God told you to go do something right now, financial bondage might keep you from doing it. Pastor Rick teaches about the importance of managing your money and becoming debt-free.

The first law of financial freedom is the law of possession: Everything you have belongs to God; you are only a manager. In this message, Pastor Rick explains what it means to be a steward of the things God has given you.

Pastor Rick teaches that, from the beginning, God's plan has been to make you like his Son, Jesus—this is your destiny. The Bible describes Jesus as "the exact likeness of God," "the visible image of the invisible God," and "the exact representation of his being" (2 Corinthians 4:4 GNT, Colossians 1:15 NLT, Hebrews 1:3 NIV).

God will use not only your gifts but also your limitations to fulfill your destiny. In this message, Pastor Rick explains that what may seem like a disaster could be part of a bigger plan—but you'll never reach your destiny if you're stuck in self-pity.

Do you know what God created you for and what your destiny is? To begin discovering this, Pastor Rick teaches you to recognize the unique gifts God has given you—your background, your SHAPE (spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences), and all the other factors that make you uniquely you.

Following Jesus means you must dare to be different from the culture; you must listen to God's voice instead of voices of doubt and follow exactly what he tells you to do. Join Pastor Rick as he explains why you should never give up on the dream God gives you.

Cultural distractions, voices of doubt, tempting shortcuts, and discouraging delays will test you as you pursue God's purpose for your life. Join Pastor Rick as he explains how God helps you push past the barriers that keep you stuck in short-term thinking instead of long-term growth.

Did you know that there are over 7,000 promises in the Bible from God to you? There are promises of security, safety, and provision. Most people go through life never claiming any of the promises of God, but he made those promises to help you fulfill your purpose in life.

As you look ahead to the next 10 years, ask yourself: What do I want to be? What do I want to do? What do I want to have? Most importantly, consider: Why do I want it?

The first step to reaching your goals is knowing where you currently stand. Ask yourself, Where am I now? and What would I like to change?
