Nature is pretty amazing. Look at the stars and how vast the universe is. Look at the variety of plants that exist in the world, and how many of them are. Look at the animal kingdom and the diversity of creatures with all of their varying characteristics. In today’s message, Pastor Richard tells you that God made you with the unique capacity to have a personal relationship with Him. You were made to worship the God who created you.

Ok, so I think that most of us have our complaints about the government. We could go round and round about all of our gripes, but at the end of the day, isn’t it better to have some sort of order? That’s certainly what Pastor Richard suggests in today’s message. As a Christian, your citizenship is in heaven, but so long as you’re passing through this world, God calls you to walk in submission to the authorities He’s placed you under.

I have to admit that sometimes I’m a little late to places. You know, with a family, it takes a lot longer to get everyone out the door and loaded up in the car. No matter how prepared you are, something always delays you. Today, Pastor Richard wants you to know that the reason for Jesus’ delay in coming back is that He’s waiting for more people to come to Him. He doesn’t want anyone to perish, but His heart is for everyone to be saved.

If you’ve ever had the privilege of going to the Grand Canyon, you know of the breathtaking beauty that’s found there. Even though it’s a National park with a full staff, paved roads, and gift shops, no human can claim responsibility for the natural wonder that it is. Today in his message, Pastor Richard wants you to know that you can’t change anybody, not even yourself… not on your own. It’s the Spirit of God and the Word of God that transforms lives.

For the young people of today, staying true to their walk with God can really feel like a tough journey. Some habits and distractions keep them from seeing their true Saviour. It totally cuts them off from building a connection with Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Richard is here to inspire you to spread the gospel to the young people in your life. You can help the youths around you by sharing the love of Jesus with them! 

Welcoming Christ into your life brings about noticeable transformations, influencing how you connect with others and the vibe you bring to your interactions. It’s interesting how some people say they’re in Christ, yet their actions don’t quite match up with what you’d expect from a believer. In today’s message, Pastor Richard invites you to take a moment for some self-reflection and connect with Jesus if you haven't done so yet!

So, are you the type of person who likes to jump in the water full bore, or do you prefer to get in one toe at a time, slowly inching your way in? Are you the type who is all or nothing, or do you prefer to hedge your bets? In today’s message, Pastor Richard wants you to know that Jesus wants you to be all in. There’s no fence-sitting in the kingdom of God. Either you’re in, or you're out. So what will it be for you? Are you ready to take that plunge?

Storytelling can be a real disarming way of making a point that otherwise might not be so easily received. Like the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, which teaches the importance of always telling the truth. In his message today, Pastor Richard urges you to listen to the words of Jesus and receive them. Even though Jesus often spoke in parables, these stories were intended to address the issues of the heart. Are you listening?

In this life, we all go through pain, and for many of us, it can be hard to let go of the past and release the hurt or anger we carry. But in today’s message, Pastor Richard encourages us to look at the cross and remember what Jesus endured for us. He suffered and gave His life for our sins, even when we were still living in sin… yet He still loved us. That’s why we are called to let go and forgive others, just as we have been forgiven.

Have you ever heard of strength being shown through weakness? In life, people often respond to others the way they are treated, showing love when they are loved, and returning hate when they are hurt. However, the Bible calls the followers of Christ to something different. In today’s message, Pastor Richard shows you that there is true strength in humility, not in retaliation. Choose to show love, even when you are met with hate.
