When we first come to Christ, we’re on fire for the Lord. One day, we serve at church, and the next day, we share our faith with our coworkers. While these actions serve God, the motivation behind them is equally important. In today’s message, Pastor Richard reminds us that it’s not just about the action but also the reason we serve God. Are we benefiting from serving God, or do we simply worship and praise because of what He’s done for us? 

Do you pray enough? Few Christians could honestly answer yes. Seeking God through intimate times of prayer and contemplation is crucial in the life of every believer. When you set aside time for it, you’ll quickly find that it’s not enough. As Pastor Richard will challenge us in today’s message, we need to make this a higher priority in our lives. It’s really hard to overdo it in this area, but really easy to miss out on this incredible resource.

It can be intimidating in the moment when you’re speaking to someone you know hasn’t accepted Jesus, and you wonder what you can say to push them over the line to belief. Your best apologetics and throwing Scripture verses can only go so far. As we’ll be reminded in today’s message from Pastor Richard, sharing our personal experience is one of the best ways we can connect with the hearts of others.

Have you ever wanted to serve at your church but wondered if you could? In today’s message, Pastor Richard wants to assure you that every follower of Christ is called to serve. While not everyone will speak from the pulpit, all Christians can help and share the message of Jesus in their daily lives. Everyone can make a difference at church or at home by serving God. All you have to do is allow God into your heart and let Him live through you!

When someone approaches you with a problem, are you offering worldly advice or providing biblical guidance? On the one hand, you might feel tempted to share what your instincts suggest; on the other hand, you can seize the opportunity to share biblical teachings and direct others toward God. How does someone determine which advice to give? Today, Pastor Richard emphasizes that when you walk with Jesus, you grow with Him mentally and spiritually.

Isn't it interesting that when we are children, we can't wait to grow up? Yet, as adults, many of us look back on our childhood and wish we could return. Growing up is a natural part of life, whether we embrace it or not. As adults, we are compelled to mature in our ways. As we navigate through life, it’s essential to grow mentally and spiritually. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Richard encourages you to walk with God and mature in Him.

Every now and then, we might unintentionally hurt those around us with what we say or do. It’s as if we overlook our own actions. You might start to question why folks are getting the wrong idea about you. In today’s message, Pastor Richard shares insights on how God can assist you in spotting and fixing your mistakes. He’s here to guide you in shaping your behavior while also integrating humility into your life. All you need to do is receive His guidance!

Before you can share your love for a particular food, you've got to give it a try yourself! It's not a good idea to just assume it'll be delicious and decide to share it with friends. In the same way, you might find yourself leaning into the guidelines laid out in the Bible as you navigate your Christian journey. But have you connected with Jesus in a meaningful way? Today, Pastor Richard shares how to lift your spiritual journey to new heights. 

It can be intimidating in the moment when you’re speaking to someone you know hasn’t accepted Jesus, and you wonder what you can say to push them over the line to belief. Your best apologetics and throwing Scripture verses can only go so far.

Coming to Jesus requires humility. If you can’t acknowledge your weakness and that the course you’re on leads to destruction and eternal separation from God, you can’t acknowledge your need for saving. As Pastor Richard continues our study of the book of Acts, we’ll witness the humility of Paul – a man who rose to a position of authority and influence in the early Church, but never forgot that it was only by the grace of God.
