Faith Is…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – It’s easy to find a problem. Just ask around. People find problems everywhere. Now, look for solutions. They are much harder to find. Well harder to find until we seek and find God’s solution. Hear the promise of God through the prophets. Then embrace the solution he has for you!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Let me be the first to wish you a Happy New Year! That’s right, it’s a new church year. We begin to tell the story of Jesus anticipating His birth and His second coming. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Finally, silver dollars and Texas. It’s a great illustration of what God wants you to find…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – As we wrap up Thanksgiving, let’s embrace gratitude. I encourage you to start with small acknowledgments of thanks, setting aside comparisons and disappointments. Embracing thankfulness can open doors to what God intends for us. Meanwhile, let’s follow Jesus’ teachings, being faithful, prepared, and a blessing to…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – We have many reasons for gratitude. Count your blessings! Start a list. And then, as you finish up your list, ask God for one more thing. What? I thought we should be thankful not to start asking again. Ask God to grant one thing more. “God, give me a grateful heart.” Then, take courage and learn the lesson from what we often call the Parable of the Talents. Go for it!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – God repeatedly challenged his people to re-up their commitment to him. We call them covenant renewal ceremonies. The people enthusiastically pledged their faithfulness to God. Would they really live up to their commitments? And Jesus reminded his followers (that’s us) to be wise and ready for his return. No idiots allowed! Let’s practice wisdom and be prepared. Plus, I’ve been thinking again…
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…

Cultural Wars, Faith
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…
