There's a real danger in holding onto the symbols more tightly than the Savior. In today's teaching, Pastor Richard challenges you to keep the main thing the main thing. People have been arguing for centuries about the right foods to eat and days to worship, and they miss the point. Jesus didn't come to start a religion; He came to rescue you from your sin and offer you a relationship with God. Make sure that Jesus is at the center of your worship.

What happens when you put your faith in Jesus? Today, Pastor Richard explains in his teaching that you go from sinner to saint. Imagine a list of every wrong thing you've ever done. Every lie you've told, every mistake you made, every time you hurt someone. When you give your heart to Jesus, this list is wiped clean. You are a new creation. On Judgment Day, you will be seen as blameless before God because Jesus will be standing in your place.

Have you ever wondered what your destiny is? Pastor Richard shares in today's message that if you don't know Jesus, your destiny is eternal separation from God in hell. Each one of us is destined for judgment. Each one of us will be found guilty of sinning against a holy God. Yet in His mercy, Jesus died a substitutionary death on the cross in your place so that you would receive eternal life when you put your faith in Him.

Your Christian friends might sometimes be facing tough moments. Satan stirs up a bit of chaos in all our lives. Did you ever think about how much your support and kind words can mean to someone else? Today, Pastor Richard shares a heartfelt reminder to spread some encouragement to those around you. Why not share all the wonderful things God’s doing in your life with them? It could help them rejuvenate their own spiritual journey!

God’s promises are like a warm blanket on a chilly night, assuring you that He’ll be by your side in every situation. But sometimes, the challenges in your life can cling to you like a shadow, making it easy to lose sight of God’s promises and wander off in search of other answers. In today’s message, Pastor Richard encourages you to cling to your faith in God. He will help you in every situation, but always in His perfect timing!

What are you seeking fulfillment from? Maybe it's from your wealth, your relationships, your career, or your hobbies. But as you'll hear in today's teaching from Pastor Richard, those things will NEVER be enough... It is only by knowing and being known by Jesus that you will find the fulfillment that you're desperately seeking. Nothing else comes close. Stop trying to fill the void in your soul with all the wrong things. Look no further than to Jesus Christ. 

Your walk with Jesus begins when you put your faith in Him. In today's message, Pastor Richard encourages you to live out your faith. Jesus wants to do more than a one-time work in your heart, He wants to transform your entire life. He wants to invite you to go deeper- to experience the Kingdom of God. You can follow Jesus your entire life and still not reach the end of understanding His grace and goodness. Commit to walking with Him every day.

Are you ready for that judgment? It’s coming whether you are or not. If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord, that thought should bring fear and anxiety. But Pastor Richard isn’t trying to scare you out of sin and hell, he wants to invite you into a life of purpose and peace, followed by a beautiful, eternal existence in the presence of our perfect, loving Creator. You do not want to miss out on what Jesus is calling each of us into. 

Have you experienced persecution or suffering in your life? If you start living out your faith and openly sharing the Gospel on a daily basis, you’ll quickly experience some retaliation. Not only will the people around you in your community start pushing back, but you’ll become a target of spiritual warfare. As Pastor Richard will point out in today’s message, this suffering doesn’t earn our place in God’s Kingdom, it’s a result of already being accepted. 

Love can bring joy to even the worst circumstances. If you think about childbirth, it demonstrates how pain and suffering can result in beauty and joy. That pain came as a consequence of Adam and Eve’s sin. The pain Jesus endured on the cross also came as a result of that sin. Yet, as Pastor Richard will point out in today’s message, Jesus found joy in the midst of unimaginable suffering because He knew it would bring life to our hearts.
