Pastor Rick's Daily Hope

Join Pastor Rick as he continues to explain why you can trust the Bible to be the unchanging foundation of your life: “Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice . . . They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock” (Luke 6:47-48 NIV).

In this message, Pastor Rick talks about the marvel of the Bible—how one book could be so despised and disputed, yet such an integral part of culture. Learn why you should trust in the one thing that will last: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35 NIV).

Many people have a hard time trusting the Bible because they don’t trust the people who wrote it. Pastor Rick uses this message to show just how much Jesus believed in and trusted the Bible—and why you should too.

The only reason the universe works is because God is true all the time. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick offers proof, through examples from history, that we can trust God’s Word. This is not only because the Bible is doctrinally and theologically accurate, but because God cannot lie.

There’s a difference between gazing into God’s Word and just glancing at it. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches four simple steps to use God’s Word as a mirror to evaluate your life.

Just like a gardener prepares the soil to receive new seeds, you need to prepare yourself to receive God’s Word. In this message, Pastor Rick teaches you four steps to help prepare your heart to receive God’s Word.

How did Jesus treat those who opposed him? Even on the cross he said, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they’re doing” (Luke 23:34 GW). In this message, Pastor Rick teaches how you can show love—even when you’re under attack—to those who oppose you.

The Bible says sometimes suffering is God’s will for your life. Why? Because it makes you more like Jesus. In this message, Pastor Rick talks about three kinds of suffering and how to remain faithful while facing opposition.

The pressure you feel to cave in, be quiet, or sit down when you should stand up is not coming from other people. Pastor Rick explains in this message why, when you face opposition because of your faith, you need to recognize the source of the opposition.

You should never be embarrassed for standing for the truth and doing what’s right. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick helps you understand why you don’t need other people’s approval to be happy and how that understanding will help you face opposition to your faith.
