Have you ever looked for your lost glasses, only to realize you were wearing them all along? Sometimes, we humans get so distracted by this life that we forget we already have everything we need! In today’s message, Pastor Richard teaches us about how the Pharisees could not see the glory of the miracle Jesus performed for the blind man, because they would rather focus on the rules He was breaking than the good He was bringing to the world.

When we’re going through difficult seasons in our lives, it’s important to remember that God is ultimately in control! We may not understand how His plans are meant to do us good in the short term, but the Bible tells us that God can use those hard times to glorify Himself. Pastor Richard reminds us today to offer our lives as living sacrifices, so that the name of the Lord can be elevated through us. Everything points us back to Him!

If I asked a group of people if they believe God is always in control, they’d most likely say, “Yeah, of course! He's God!” But we don't always act as if that's the case. We doubt God's faithfulness, we complain that we're not the ones calling the shots, and we worry! Today, Pastor Richard will remind us that our job is simply to trust that God's plan is good. So drop your fear and trust in His perfect timing, because you serve a good God!

During Jesus's life on Earth, many people misunderstood who He was and what He came to do. Often, even his own disciples got the wrong idea! Jesus did not come to overthrow humanity's governments and judge the world. His mission was to save all who believe by dying in our place! But today, Pastor Richard will remind us that Jesus is coming a second time. And when He comes again, He will judge the world. Are you ready for that day?

Some people believe they possess the gift of discernment, but what they really have is a tendency to judge. They look at others and hunt for their imperfections. In today’s message, Pastor Richard invites you to shift your focus from judging others to uplifting fellow believers instead. Don’t let your heart wander into the idea that God values your so-called spirit of discernment. Watch your words; they carry weight!

Joseph went through a lot of hardship to arrive at the destination that God had set for him. It seems like every difficulty he faced was part of a bigger picture, guiding Joseph and getting him ready for the journey that awaited him. In a similar vein, you might be navigating through some challenging moments. Today, Pastor Richard invites you to continue your journey with faith, embracing the path that God has laid out for you. 

It's hard to even conceptualize the glory we'll experience when we reach heaven! We'll see Jesus face-to-face, no longer inhibited by sin and the brokenness of this world. What could be better than that? The One who spoke the cosmos into being will embrace us, and we will experience indescribable freedom and peace. Today, Pastor Richard will tell us the story of a woman who publicly recognized the majesty of Jesus. Let's follow her example!

God is always, always with you. When you're experiencing victory and joy, God is by your side. When you're struggling and in pain, the Lord is supporting you and providing for you. Whatever season you're facing, and regardless of how the future looks, God is right there with you! Today, Pastor Richard will encourage you to keep moving forward in faith! Never believe the lie that God distances Himself from you! He is for you, always!

If we're honest, we've all had days when we'd rather rest and recover than go to church, right? Maybe we had a long week, or there were things that needed to be done around the house. Maybe we didn't even feel like praising God! Today, Pastor Richard will encourage us that the Lord will give us a heart to worship passionately every time we run to Him! So choose to be in community with other Christians this week because our King is worthy!

As the world becomes more corrupt and depraved, it can be tempting to try to disassociate with people who don't follow Jesus. But our Lord told us to do the exact opposite! Yes, we need to avoid falling into the sins that surround us, but we also need to share the gospel while there's still time! Today, Pastor Richard will challenge us to be in the world, but not of the world. After all, we were as broken as those around us before we met Jesus!
