Babies love to be held, and so wherever the mother goes, the baby wants to go with her. But sometimes, the mom needs to put the baby down to take care of something, and what happens? The baby cries as if she has been completely abandoned. In today’s message, Pastor Richard asks if you ever feel like that with God? Is there ever a moment when you don’t feel close to God and start to panic? Be encouraged, He’s still right there!

God’s forgiveness is a truly mysterious thing! It’s not a loan that you need to repay over time, or a gift that takes time to take effect. When you are forgiven by God, it’s instantaneous! Pastor Richard draws an example today from the story of David and Bathsheba: when David was called out on his sin, he repented to the Lord. It wasn’t several days later when forgiveness arrived; forgiveness came at the very moment of repentance.

Sometimes, the world likes to slap a label on you, calling you a bad person. Just remember, you can find comfort in knowing that God sees you as righteous when you genuinely repent and seek His forgiveness with an open heart. It feels as if sin has never even crossed your path. But have you stopped to think about who deserves all the credit? Today, Pastor Richard shares how Jesus has washed you clean and made you righteous in the eyes of God!

Have you ever felt completely abandoned in life? Perhaps you’ve been going through an extremely difficult season, while everyone around you seems to have it easy. Well, in his message today, Pastor Richard wants you to know that you’re not alone. Even Jesus knows what it was like to suffer with no one else to feel His pain. He knows what you’ve gone through and even what you’re going through now, and He wants to comfort you in your tears.

What if you never checked the messages on your phone, but then you complained about no one ever reaching out to you? That would be odd, right? It’s not that they never reached out, it’s that you never listened. In today’s message, Pastor Richard assures you that God IS speaking to you. Are you listening? Are you spending time in the Word of God? Are you opening up the pages of Scripture to find out what God has to say to your heart?

Some people are really good at planning. Not only do they have their day mapped out, but they’ve got the whole year and even five to ten years lined up. They know where they want their career to be, what house they want to live in, and how many kids they want to have. Today, in his message, Pastor Richard encourages you to surrender your plans to God. God knows what lies ahead, where you can only guess and hope for the best.

It’s easy to look at the failure of others and shake our heads. There’s a phrase that says, “My sin always looks worse on somebody else.” The truth is that all too often, we’re quick to judge others but aren’t willing to deal with our own sin. In today’s message, Pastor Richard urges you to look at your own heart to see what God may want to deal with. Don’t be so calloused that you won’t allow God to work in your life.

There are a lot of goals that many of us give up on because of the hurdles that we’d have to overcome to achieve them. Whether it’s hours of training involved to be an elite athlete, or the years of schooling to earn that degree. Sometimes we just have to curb our expectations. In his message today, Pastor Richard shares with you that eternal life is attainable for you! Jesus has already done all the work; all you have to do is trust in Him.

Sometimes, the world likes to slap a label on you, calling you a bad person.

A savvy businessman is always on the lookout for opportunities to strike a deal that works in his favor. It's easy to rationalize your choices and missteps by pointing out the good you've done, isn't it? But do those really stack up to what God expects? Today, Pastor Richard encourages you to let go of the negotiations with God. Rather than trying to explain yourself, why not embrace the truth that you need Jesus to save you from eternal separation?
