The Living Truth Fellowship

Did Jesus Christ really rise from the dead? According to Scripture, there is no reason to treat the resurrection as a religious legend, philosophical idea, or matter of blind faith. It was an event witnessed, investigated, and faithfully reported by people who were there. In this teaching, Rich Robson examines the powerful eyewitness testimony surrounding the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, beginning with Luke’s careful investigation and continuing through Peter, John, Paul, and others who testified to what they had seen and heard. Their accounts give us compelling reason to say with confidence: no doubt about it—God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Rich also shows why this evidence matters personally to every believer. The resurrection is not merely something that happened nearly two thousand years ago; it is the foundation of our hope for the future. The same God who raised Jesus from the dead has promised resurrection and everlasting life to those who believe. And just as the first believers bore witness to what they knew to be true, we too have the privilege of telling others about the risen Christ and the extraordinary hope God has made available through His Son.

What happens when the solution that makes perfect sense to us is not the direction God would have us take? In this encouraging teaching, Rich Robson shows that true humility means trusting God above our own understanding, casting our cares upon Him, and being willing to follow His wisdom even when His way looks very different from ours.

Through powerful biblical examples—from Israel at the Red Sea and David facing Goliath to Elijah being fed by ravens and Jesus feeding the multitude—Rich shows how often God provides answers no human reasoning could have devised. *When Your Way Isn’t God’s Way* is a powerful reminder that we do not have to see the whole path before we trust the One who does. Give the battle to God, follow His direction, and trust that when His way differs from yours, His wisdom is still the safest place to stand.

God is always present, faithful, and ready to help—but how often do we consciously acknowledge Him? This teaching by Rich Robson encourages believers to develop the simple yet life-changing habit of saying, “Hello, God,” throughout the day. Whether life is going wonderfully or everything seems to be falling apart, we can continually speak with our heavenly Father, thank Him, seek His wisdom, and remain aware that He will never leave us.

Drawing from the example of the Apostle Paul, the words of Jesus Christ, and the writings of Brother Lawrence, this teaching explores what it means to pray without ceasing and practice the presence of God. Even during suffering, discouragement, or the approach of death, believers can remain confident in God’s faithfulness and the promised resurrection. Every circumstance becomes an opportunity to turn our thoughts toward Him, begin a conversation, and remember that we never face life alone.

In this teaching, Rich Robson opens Psalm 119:89–96 to show the beauty, precision, and enduring power of God’s Word. He explains how Hebrew poetry joins corresponding thoughts together, allowing one expression to reinforce, expand, or contrast another. God’s Word is forever settled in heaven, His faithfulness continues through every generation, and all creation remains subject to His ordinances. These carefully arranged truths reveal that the Bible is far more than another religious book—it is the inspired Word through which God has made Himself and His faithfulness known.

Rich also contrasts the stability of God’s Word with the fear, speculation, and troubling voices that constantly compete for our attention. Rather than allowing the world’s uncertainties to dominate our thinking, we can delight in God’s teaching, seek His precepts, and meditate upon His promises. His Word gives us life, steadies us during affliction, and reminds us that we belong to Him. Although human knowledge and achievement will always have their limits, God’s truth is “exceedingly broad,” offering an inexhaustible source of wisdom, joy, strength, and hope.

Shaped by the Living God, explores God’s desire to restore humanity to its original purpose as His image and representative on the earth. Drawing from Genesis, Ephesians, Romans, Colossians, and the Psalms, Rich Robson contrasts God’s design for mankind with humanity’s tendency to reject God’s wisdom and create its own standards of truth. He emphasizes that the root problem of the human condition is not merely bad behavior but the refusal to let God define who we are and how we should live. Instead of allowing God to shape us, people often attempt to reshape God into their own image, leading to vanity, confusion, and separation from the life God intended. 

The teaching highlights the believer’s calling to put off the “old man” and embrace the “new man” created in righteousness and true holiness. Rich explains that spiritual growth is not accomplished through self-improvement or human effort but by continually setting our minds on Christ and allowing God to work within us. Using the analogy of learning kung fu, he illustrates that transformation is a lifelong process of learning to move and respond according to God’s ways rather than our own instincts, desires, or reasoning. 

Ultimately, Shaped by the Living God is a call to humility, obedience, and hope. Rich reminds believers that God never stops working to conform His children to the image He intended from the beginning. While complete transformation awaits the appearing of Jesus Christ, God is faithfully shaping His people today through His Word, His spirit, and their daily decision to follow His paths rather than their own. The teaching encourages listeners to keep their eyes fixed on the coming kingdom, trust God’s wisdom above human wisdom, and allow the living God to shape their lives according to His purpose. 

In this practical and thought-provoking teaching, Rich Robson examines one of the most persistent temptations of the human heart—the desire for more. Beginning with Jesus’ warning in Luke 12 and the parable of the rich fool, Rich demonstrates that true abundance is not found in wealth, possessions, status, or security, but in a relationship with God. Through biblical examples such as the rich man with overflowing barns, Israel gathering manna in the wilderness, Adam and Eve in the Garden, and even Lucifer himself, Rich shows how the pursuit of “more” often leads to dissatisfaction, anxiety, and spiritual emptiness. 

Drawing from Philippians 4, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and other passages, Rich contrasts greed with the biblical virtue of contentment. He explains that contentment is not natural—it is learned. The Apostle Paul learned how to abound and how to suffer need because his confidence was rooted in Christ rather than circumstances. Rich encourages believers to stop measuring life by what they possess and instead find peace in the sufficiency of God’s provision. Whether facing abundance or lack, Christians can experience genuine joy and stability because Christ strengthens them to endure every situation. 

The teaching concludes by lifting the listener’s eyes beyond the temporary treasures of this world to the eternal inheritance reserved for God’s children. Rich reminds us that everything earthly is ultimately fleeting, but the hope secured through the resurrection of Jesus Christ is incorruptible, undefiled, and everlasting. The central message is both simple and profound: more possessions will never satisfy the human heart, but a life anchored in God and empowered by Jesus Christ provides everything we truly need. 

Marc Dickie shares a teaching focused on faithfulness, using the example of King Hezekiah of Judah during a dire military threat from Assyria. Drawing from Isaiah 36–37, Marc described how Hezekiah and his officials responded to the taunts of the Assyrian commander, Rabshakeh, by turning to prayer and consulting the prophet Isaiah. The study concluded with the narrative of divine intervention, in which an angel struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, forcing King Sennacherib to withdraw. Ultimately, Marc emphasized that prayer is powerful and that remaining faithful is essential for God’s people during challenging times.

Rich Robson shared from Matthew 18, focusing on the parable of a king who forgave an unpayable debt owed by one of his servants. He explained how the king “absorbed the cost” of the debt, drawing a parallel to how Jesus Christ absorbed the cost of humanity’s sins through his death on the cross. Rich referenced John 3:16 and 1 John 4:9 to emphasize that Jesus’ sacrifice was God’s loving provision for forgiveness and eternal life.

Rich further explained that Jesus willingly took upon himself the punishment humanity deserved, using passages from 1 Peter, Hebrews, and Isaiah to illustrate this truth. He highlighted the importance of forgiveness by pointing to Jesus’ instruction to forgive not merely seven times, but “seventy times seven.” Rich emphasized that Jesus’ example calls believers to extend forgiveness to others in the same spirit of grace they have received.

Rich also connected the parable of the forgiven debt to the believer’s new relationship with God. He explained that through Jesus’ sacrifice and God’s forgiveness, people can receive the gift of holy spirit, become children of God, and be restored to fellowship with Him. He concluded by reminding listeners that believers belong to God and are called to glorify Him in both body and spirit through the way they live.

Rich Robson taught on addressing low self-esteem by removing the “self” from self-esteem and returning to what God says. Rather than seeking validation through behavior or the opinions of others, he emphasized that believers are justified by God through Jesus Christ. True righteousness is not earned through performance; it is given by grace.

Building on 1 Corinthians 4:3–4, Rich explained that the only verdict that ultimately matters is God’s. The tendency to measure ourselves—either by our own standards or by the judgments of others—keeps the focus misplaced. Scripture redirects that focus away from self-evaluation and toward God’s declaration. Drawing from passages in Romans and 2 Corinthians, he showed that confidence and identity are grounded in what God has already established, not in how we assess ourselves.

Marc Dickie shared on Hebrews, focusing on the concept of the priesthood and its application to believers. He discussed how Abraham's role as a priest predated the Levitical priesthood and emphasized the responsibility of fathers to lead their families in prayer and right living. Marc explored the royal priesthood of Jesus Christ, comparing him to Melchizedek and highlighting his role as a mediator and intercessor. He also addressed the topic of eternal security, clarifying that Hebrews 6 does not teach that believers can lose their salvation but rather emphasizes the finality of Jesus' sacrifice. Marc concluded by emphasizing the importance of living out one’s identity in Christ and the assurance of salvation that comes through Jesus’ perfect sacrifice.
