What do you think of when you hear the word “Worship.” Maybe your mind goes right to the music that you may sing in church. Maybe you think of the Old Testament where they would sacrifice animals in worship. Worship is many things, one of the primary ways of expressing worship to God is through singing to Him! In today’s message, Pastor Richard will be sharing about worship and how we can actually bless the heart of God with our worship. 

Faith is something that the Bible speaks a lot about. Sometimes we think of it as an obscure intangible thing, but that's not the case! Faith is actually something that we can steward and grow in! The Bible likens us to children. Part of being a child is the process of growing up! In today’s message, Pastor Richard will be sharing about how we can grow in our faith as Christians! What steps do you think you can take to grow in your faith?

Everyone loves a good testimony of God coming through. We read incredible stories in the Bible where God comes through and saves His people, or someone gets healed, delivered, or saved! However, there are times when we stay in the trial a little longer than we would like to. In these moments, we lean closer to God. In today’s message, Pastor Richard will be sharing about how we can contend for God to move in impossible situations. 

How often do you see the same kind of power displayed in the Bible in your life? Are you seeing God move in, around, and through your life? When we read through the Bible we see that big moves of God are usually prompted by His people praying. In today’s message, Pastor Richard will be going through the power of Prayer. If we want to see the power of the Gospel in our lives we have to bring everything to the Lord in Prayer!

Do you know the story of Barnabus? A man who constantly and quietly moved people closer to God. Maybe you know a Barnabus in your life. Maybe that's who encouraged you to put your faith in God. Today Pastor Richard describes him as an incredible man of God. Someone to model your behavior after. He created a community that is so foundational to your faith. After all, God is clear throughout the Bible that this life is not to be lived alone.

How do you know that God is there when you need Him? One way is simply by your faith, but today Pastor Richard offers several specific examples of how Peter and the church of Jeruselum saw God at work and how you can see His hand on your life every day. Knowing this, you can start to look for Him and seek Him in your daily routine, whether at work, the gym, or at church. God is everywhere and is paving the way for His will in your life.

Do you believe that you’re good enough for God? Did you know that He knows you better than you know yourself? Once you accept that, and ask God to lead your life, you will find that He’s been right there waiting patiently for you the whole time. Today Pastor Richard says you can’t prepare yourself for God. He prepared you! He created you! You are exactly as you should be. But once you begin your walk with Christ get ready to leave the old you behind.

Have you ever been thrown into a situation where you knew you had to lead by example? It’s never easy, but if you do it enough, you will find it more familiar in time. Today Pastor Richard talks about leading in your Christian walk and being an example to others. It can feel difficult or even repetitive, and your excitement can start to fade. That is why it’s so important to listen to how God wants to use you. His plan for your life is anything but dull or repetitive.

How good is your spiritual radar? Today Pastor Richard says you need to have it, but be careful not to overuse it. Not everything is a sign from God. But you should be aware of, and even looking for, the things that are. When you aren’t sure, there are two ways to fact-check your intuition - read your bible and ask God for clarity during prayer. You will find your answer when you are spending regular time in The Word and in constant prayer with Him.

If there’s one consistent message in the Bible, it's that God loves all His children! Everything and everyone has been created with a divine purpose. Today Pastor Richard reminds you to be encouraged by this fact. He adds some perspective to this by comparing God’s love of even the smallest creatures to how He loves you. You should find comfort in the knowledge that God loves you for you and isn’t keeping score or handing out points based on effort.
