FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Exploring the intersection of divine trust and human responsibility, I delve into what makes a church worthy of extraordinary resources for seemingly impossible deeds. I emphasize the unwavering authority of Scripture while grappling with its interpretation. Encountering a Holy God transforms us, guiding our prayers to echo, “Not my will but Yours be done,” as we strive for holiness in our daily walk…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Instant sermon. Answering the questions people ask by thinking out loud. What about the tribulation? Does God have climate change under control? Are actions more powerful than words? How could God manage to form his people from the lying, cheating scoundrels the Bible describes? Ribeye or New York Strip? I have thoughts. God has answers. God has instructions. Do we have convictions Come…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Amidst life’s unpredictable events, God remains a steadfast presence with His people. Journey with me as we recount His unwavering support during Egypt’s plagues, the Passover night, the Red Sea crossing, and the wilderness adventures leading to Sinai and the Ten Commandments. Despite betrayals like the Golden Calf incident, divine love and guidance never waver. Join me in choosing to walk…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Delving into a profound moment in Israel’s history, this piece explores the unexpected turn to the Golden Calf on what was meant to be a sacred night. Unpacking the driving force of fear that leads many to act out of character, it’s a stark reminder of human vulnerability. Yet, amidst this tale of betrayal, a beacon of hope shines through. God’s timeless message to “Fear not!” resonates, urging us…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – The First Amendment and our religious freedom are under attack. A citizen was forcibly removed from a Florida school board meeting because they didn’t like what he was saying. Outrageous because he was simply reading from a book available in one of their middle schools. Your children need you to stand up for them! Maybe that’s God’s test for our generation. God tested his people, and their…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – My head’s exploding because your children need your help. Pay attention to what’s happening in your child’s school, and if necessary, don’t back down. Protect them! Your children are counting on you even though they don’t know how to tell you they need help. In the same way, God is counting on you to opt into faithfulness. When God provided quail and manna for his people, it was a test. He…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Is it possible that the problems we face could be a setup? By that, I mean, could God have set up the circumstances on purpose? And if he caused the problem, could he be planning the solution? Certainly, we cause some of our problems. We’re pretty good at that. But what if we approached our problems with absolute confidence in the trustworthiness of God. Might he then make us partners in…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Imagine God standing guard over your household all night. He did this for his people on the night before they left Egypt. God kept his promise to Moses and delivered his people from the evil of slavery. Today, we are the leaders we’re looking for. God has called us and given us the responsibility to protect and defend liberty. To follow his instructions and lead our world into a better tomorrow. Moses…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Oliver Anthony’s lament reminds me that we all long for a better world. The Bible says a better world is coming. Do you believe it? Do you want it to be true? God wanted a much better world for his people trapped in slavery. So he spoke to Moses and told him to go lead them out of Egypt. Moses responded with excuses! How many of us respond to God with excuses? Moses eventually went…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – We believe in the rule of law and respecting the law. But is there ever a time when we break the law to obey God? There has been, and there might be again. Consider the Hebrew midwives. They defied the king! Consider a father, mother, and sister. They defied the king! Do you obey God or human authority?
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – We live in a world where people regularly tell us what they want us to hear. In other words, they lie. We live in a world where people refuse to listen to the truth. They only want to hear what they want to hear! Today let’s hear from God. He spoke loudly in Joseph’s circumstances. He often speaks just as loudly in our circumstances. The question for us is will we trust Him? Will we have faith and absolute…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Then learn from Jacob and his family as they become the heirs of God’s covenant. They aren’t perfect, and selling their brother into slavery is just one example, but God isn’t finished with them. God knows, and God redeems even the worst nonsense. If you’re willing to consider confidence in God or if you’re struggling…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – This week we explore the relationship between Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Then we take a leap to discover the stunning turn of events that lead Jacob to become Israel. Jacob, now Israel, became the heir of the covenant.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – People have been, they are, and they will be again outraged that the Ten Commandments aren’t posted here, there, and everywhere. Those battles have been fought, and they will be fought again. And they should be. Let’s post the Ten Commandments and follow them. As we examine God’s top ten, let’s learn what they mean and what God expects. At the same time, let’s renew our commitment to…
