Faith Is…
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. By prevailing with the touch of God, Jacob’s life changed beyond anything we could imagine…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Too many people worry about sin and live in defeat that they don’t measure up to what God expects. Listen for God’s suggestion and stretch in His direction. This is Instant Sermon week, where we ask and answer the important question people ask. Like, if God could easily beat Satan, why hasn’t he done it already?
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Why is the church silent? We’ll talk about some of the reasons for church silence. More importantly, we’ll talk about what we can do to encourage pastors and people to speak up for God! We must not be silent! It’s too easy to retreat from the conversation. It’s too easy to make it someone else’s problem…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Finally, some clarity on transgender ideology. God told us all we really need to know in the first chapter of Genesis. The creation story gives us insight and understanding to sort out today’s transgender confusion. God is very clear. He created us in His image as male and female…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – How did our Founders think about God, and what role did that play in their decisions? The answer may surprise you. They should encourage and embolden you! John Quincy Adams described the principles of civil government and the principles of Christianity as connected. I agree, and that’s why we need a rebirth of…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Our nation’s founders believed they were living in a coercive and life-threatening environment. How did they know how to navigate it? How do we know what to do these days? We find answers in the Christian faith and history…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – The gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. The gift of the scriptures points us to God and his wisdom. So is climate change real? If it’s real, is it caused by people? Let’s answer those questions and learn how to think about one of the most challenging issues of our times…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – We too, can learn to persevere through times like these. And persevere is the right word; it’s a marathon, not a sprint. We must not lose heart! We can and must have faith in God. Our faith is then expressed by strength, boldness, and the assurance that God is with us. So be strong, be bold, for the Lord your God is with you!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – So many things are upside down and inside out. We’re told wrong is right and right is wrong. What should we do? The answer is found in Daniel’s story of living in exile in the royal court of Babylon. Daniel took a stand at great personal risk, and God honored his faithfulness. Will you take a stand and allow God to honor your…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Our search begins and ends in Genesis. God gives us a remarkable glimpse into what happened at creation. The story tells us a lot about God and a lot about people. Buckle your spiritual seat belt, and let’s get started. It’s going to be so much fun discovering why we should honor God!
