If you're new to Christianity, you might be wondering, "Who is Jesus?" In today’s message, Pastor Richard explains that Jesus is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament. He is God in human form who came to Earth, lived a sinless life, died for your sins, and conquered the grave by rising again three days later. So, what does Jesus want from you? He desires a personal relationship, and all you have to do is invite Him into your heart.

The story of Ruth is one of redemption, and not just for Ruth, her mother-in-law Naomi, and their family line. It’s redemption for the family line that would lead to Jesse, and then David, which of course eventually leads to Jesus and the redemption of mankind. As Pastor Richard examines this passage, we’ll be reminded of the grand scale of God’s design for humanity and the way He brings blessing and provision to those who honor Him.

Following God can be very awkward. Our culture has taken a path towards independence and self-service. None of us really like authority, and we push back when some entity tries to tell us how to do things. As Pastor Richard will point out in today’s message, God is the ultimate authority, and He’s implemented His design and His laws for our protection and provision. When we submit to Him in faith, we can find wholeness and purpose.

Many believed that Jesus was there to restore the kingdom to Israel. As Pastor Richard explains in today's message, thankfully, Jesus was not coming to just put Israel on the map, but He was coming to save all of humanity. When He died, His followers were disappointed and let down. But... they didn't have the full story. They couldn't see the full picture. When Jesus doesn't do things the way you expect, remember His ways are higher. The story's not finished yet.

What's going on in your heart today? What has you troubled? In today's teaching, Pastor Richard encourages you with the truth that Jesus knows. He sees you. He loves you. He is not a God who is far away. He is nearer to you than your very breath. As you navigate hardships and disappointments, take comfort in knowing that you are never alone. Jesus is with you, and He is for you. You matter to the almighty God of the universe. What an extraordinary truth.

In the midst of their heartache and despair after the death of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and the disciples forgot His words. See, Jesus had promised them He would return, yet they were so quick to forget! Today, in his message, Pastor Richard implores you NOT to make the same mistake. Stand firm on God's Word and on His promises. You can trust that He meant it when He said He would never leave you and that He will one day return.

We have all received questionable advice at some point in our lives. A friend may offer suggestions that seem right but could ultimately be more harmful than helpful. In today's message, Pastor Richard emphasizes the importance of ensuring that any counsel we receive aligns with the Word of God. When seeking guidance from others, it is crucial to confirm that their advice is grounded in the wisdom found in the Bible.

In a world filled with challenges, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant stream of pain and suffering we see in the news. How should we respond to this? In today’s message, Pastor Richard reminds us to place our faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible reassures us that we can accomplish all things through Christ, who strengthens us. When the weight of life feels unbearable, turn to Jesus and allow Him to bring you peace in your heart and your life.

The unborn, the fatherless and the orphan, the refugee, the homeless and society’s marginalized – these groups all share something in common: they need protection, shelter, and provision. As Pastor Richard examines the story of Boaz and Ruth, we’ll be reminded that God has provided these things for us, His Children, and we’re called to turn around and share grace in this form for the least of these in the world around us.
