Love and hate. Peace and justice. Grace and wrath. In seven short chapters, the prophet Micah presents the

true picture of God – the almighty Lord who hates sin and loves sinners. Much of the book is devoted to

describing God’s coming wrath and judgement over His people who have fallen deep into idolatry and division.

However, Micah also reveals the hope of God’s love and grace for all call upon the Lord and repent of their

sins. The words of Micah challenge us to exercise justice and kindness to others and press on toward a world

that better resembles the Kingdom of Heaven. “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love

kindness, and to walk humbly with our God” (Micah 6:8). Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast! Although we

One moment in time can completely change our perspective about life. What we once believed was most important doesn’t seem to matter anymore; and what was once meaningless, now has new purpose. John presents us with the narrative that lies at the heart of the Gospel. Jesus, who was crucified, has been raised. We watch as Mary, Peter, and an unnamed disciple (John) discover that Jesus’ tomb is now empty; the outward and visible sign that Jesus has conquered death and a new creation has begun. We are witnesses to the moment when Mary and the two disciples have a complete change in perspective. Grief turns to joy. Confusion turns to clarity. Unbelief turns to faith. And sadness turns to good news that has been proclaimed throughout the ages, “I have seen the Lord.” Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast! Although we

Everybody knows how unmet expectations can lead to disappointment, discouragement, and doubt. Unmet expectations can make us doubt God’s love and His good intentions. Questions like “Does God even care about my desires?” can erode our trust and diminish our hope (Proverbs 13:12). If we leave these responses unaddressed, we risk falling into a constant state of discouragement and negativism. When Jesus entered into Jerusalem, He was greeted by cheers and shouts of praise. Some thought He came to be a powerful reigning king or a mighty general who would wage war against an oppressive government. When those expectations went unmet, triumph quickly led to a trial, and excitement turned to an execution on a cross. Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast! Although we

We all know that we can’t make through day to day life without using money.Yet, when we look at the pages of the Gospels, Jesus talks about money more than any other subject.Why is that? Jesus is not calling His people to retreat or withdraw from the market, banks, or using currency. Rather Jesus is warning us how easily the pursuit of money and wealth can ensnare us into addiction and slavery. However, some of us still probably think just a “little more wealth” would go a long way. King Solomon was the richest man in history. He had a lot to say in his poetic reflections on the emptiness of wealth. Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast! Although we

When we pursue approval from others as a source of happiness or validation, we give them an authority over our lives that was meant only for the Lord. In essence, we’re asking them to tell us who we truly are. Not only does this dishonor God, who alone is our Creator, but gives too much weight to what others think about us. Even the person who knows us best on earth still doesn’t know us as well as our Heavenly Father. We cannot put ourselves under Christ if we also put ourselves under the approval of others. That’s like serving two masters. We will either love the one and hate the other or be devoted to one and despise the other. It’s impossible to please everyone, but it is possible to please God by seeking His approval alone. Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast! Although we

We all want a happy life. To find that happy life many people pursue things like a new job, a new home, a bigger vacation, or a bigger bank account. However, a job can be lost, a car can stop running, vacations are only temporary, and money can disappear. What happens to our happiness when the things we pursued passionately are gone? Perfectionism is one of the things we often pursue to secure happiness or peace, only to discover that it is a trap that distracts and discourages us from the very One who truly satisfies our soul – Jesus Christ. Perfectionism causes us to reject any standard or outcome unless it meets our definition of perfection. Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast! Although we
