I remember grabbing a bag of chips one night, telling myself I’d just eat a few. But before I knew it, the whole bag was gone, and I still wasn’t satisfied. Pastor Richard will explain to you today how selfishness works. The more you feed it, the more it craves. It promises satisfaction but only leaves you emptier inside. Living for yourself never fills the hunger of the heart. True satisfaction comes when you align your desires with God’s desires.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough to come to God? Some churches might say you have to fix your life before coming to church or even getting to know Christ, but you don’t wait to get better before going to the doctor, do you? You go to the doctor because you’re sick and because you need help. And today, Pastor Richard invites you to come to Jesus just as you are, and let Him be the one to change your heart

In the world we live in today, it’s easy to look at others and think we have a better standing with God because of what we believe or how we live. But in today’s message, Pastor Richard reminds us that we’re not to look down on anyone, especially on those who haven’t yet believed. The truth is, we’ve been grafted into God’s promises by His grace alone. And that’s not a reason for pride, but a reason to be thankful and give glory to God.

A compass always points north, no matter how lost we feel or how disoriented our surroundings become. But if we tried to find our way with a broken compass, one that points wherever it feels like, we’d be lost. Today, Pastor Richard will tell you that’s what happens when you rely on politics, culture, or even your own reasoning to guide you. Those things shift with the wind. God’s Word, though, is the true compass: steady, trustworthy, and unchanging.

Sometimes it feels like the world is spinning faster than we can keep up: chaos in the news, uncertainty in our lives, and fear about what’s next. But even when everything seems out of control, it’s not. Pastor Richard will remind you today that God hasn’t stepped off the throne. He’s still ruling and still holding all things together. What looks like disorder to you is never disorder to Him. You can rest knowing your unshakable God is still in complete control.

One of the greatest regrets we could ever have is wondering what might’ve been if we had fully surrendered to God’s plan. We don’t want to reach the end of our lives and realize we missed the purpose He had for us. God’s plans are always better, overflowing with meaning, joy, and eternal impact. Today, Pastor Richard will challenge you to choose obedience over comfort, faith over fear, and devotion over distraction. Don’t leave a “what if” behind.

Faith isn’t something we inherit; it’s something we choose. God doesn’t save us because our parents followed Him, and He doesn’t reject us because they didn’t. Each heart stands alone before Him. Pastor Richard will remind you today that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. That means your story with God is personal, not passed down from your ancestry. No matter your family history, His invitation is open.

Imagine if every promise we made came with a reflection of who we truly are. When we say we’ll do something, God calls us to follow through, because our word reflects His character. Today, Pastor Richard will remind you that scripture says, “Let your ‘yes’ be yes and your ‘no’ be no.” In a world full of broken promises, being a person of integrity shines brightly. When you keep your word, you reflect the One who always keeps His.

When we first come to God, there’s a sense of curiosity and wonder as we discover who He is. But answering His call to go out and make disciples can feel daunting. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Richard reminds us that Christians aren’t just followers of Christ… we’re called to be ministers to those around us. Ministers in our jobs, in our homes, in our marriages, in our relationships, as we live in the world, we are called to be the salt of the earth.
