Faith Is…
An instant sermon is real questions from real people and honest answers from God. So get ready! God does not hold back and we won’t either. Plus we’ll remind ourselves of Ascension Sunday and remember the sacrifice of the men and women who gave their lives to preserve our liberty…
John gives us a vision of what God has planned for His people. It’s a world without the influence of evil. It’s a world where the nations will find healing and people will live in harmony in the presence of God. It’s the place God is preparing for you…
Do you anticipate the return of Jesus with anxious dread or hopeful anticipation? The Bible reminds us to look for our redemption because it’s near! Jesus teaches us that we should not be afraid. We should be ready. God is moving into our neighborhood! He’ll be the best neighbor ever…
We need to remember the spiritual resources God provides. In our quest for the next “thing,” we sometimes overlook the tried and true, unchanged and consistently helpful; that’s Psalm 23. Psalm 23 tells us about the Good Shepherd. He will restore your soul, and you’re invited to dwell in the Lord’s house…
A fishing trip provides the context and the opportunity for Jesus to make his third post-resurrection appearance to his disciples. Because of Jesus, they catch a lot of fish, and Jesus serves them breakfast on the beach. They are still processing all that is happening when Jesus and Peter take a walk…
How do you decide what is true? It makes all the difference in our lives how we come to a conclusion about the truth. It has enormous implications for all of us. If we make the right decision about truth, it leads us to peace we did not know was possible. If we make the wrong decision, confusion reigns supreme.
Death, our mortal enemy, no longer has power. Resurrection gives us life and hope, and peace. We no longer need to fear anything! Jesus paid the price for a world trapped by the evil one and opened the door to new life, now and forever. Trust Him!
The two big things God did for people. Those two goals are really the big picture focus of the entire Bible. In many ways, the entire story of God working in the lives of His people comes down to two big ideas. And they are big! Today we focus on why a death was necessary for salvation and specifically why Jesus. Hint: it wasn’t because…
I’ve made valiant attempts to discover the answer, but I still do not know how much is too much ice cream! A woman anointed Jesus with perfume “worth a year’s wages.” John 12:5, NIV. Was it too much? Too little? Can we ever be too extravagant toward God?
One son brought shame to the family. He embarrassed his father and then had the audacity to return home. The other son remained faithful and felt rejected when the father welcomed his rascal brother home. The father explained, “He was lost and is found.” If you’re lost, return home . . . now! If you’re home, open your heart. Your brother needs you! Pastor Rick Stevens can be heard Saturday and Sunday at 8 AM ET on the iHeart Radio Network. Find all the Faith is…with Pastor Rick Stevens episodes also available on the America Out Loud Podcast Network.
It’s not about how bad you are or have been, it’s what you do about it right now that matters. Jesus didn’t use that expression but he said it straight up: “Repent or die.” Then he told a story about a barren fig tree. It’s our story and a warning…
With great bravado, you might proclaim your fearlessness. Or you might hide your fear because God commands us, “Fear not!” And by hiding your fear, you hope to obey God’s command. The antidote to fear is the fear of God. When we fear God, we put our other fears in their place!
The antidote for our anxieties and our fears is to live in awe and reverence of God. When we put God in his rightful place, our fears fade, and our hearts are restored…
Today we explore current events through the eyes of faith and discover that more is going than we tend to realize. Yes, these are troubling times. But God has not and will not abandon us. We can and will trust him no matter what happens! Indeed he may start a spiritual renewal in unlikely places!
