Faith Is…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – This week we encounter perhaps the most chilling statement in all of the Bible. Then close behind it, we discover the most chilling realization in the Bible. We learn the rich man’s lesson and how to avoid it. We learn that things are not always as they seem to be.
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – So how can a dishonest manager that is losing his job end up being praised? Is Jesus commending him for his dishonesty and shrewdness? Certainly not! But he is challenging us. He is admonishing us to smarten up out there! We need to learn from the wisdom of Jesus and put it into practice…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Jesus told two stories that both resulted in finding what was lost and joy! Sometimes people are alienated from God and even rebel against God. They find it difficult to turn to him. Press through to joy! The joy makes it worth it.
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – The potter can do whatever he or she pleases with the clay jar, and God can do what he pleases with us. The good news is that God wants to shape us into the kind of people he always imagined we could be. God wants to save us from all the stuff. Cooperate with grace, and let him do it!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Does God really expect us to open our borders and our homes to anybody and everybody that shows up? Is there such a thing as luck? Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead; what then? Are the spirit and soul two separate entities? We’ll talk about all this and more as we challenge each other to have faith…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – The people who heard the word of the Lord from Amos were in for some very hard times. The people who hear God’s message today have hope for tomorrow because we can turn to God and trust Him! We can have faith, and absolute confidence in the trustworthiness of God…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Too many people, especially God’s people, give up in frustration and refuse to help solve the problems. This is especially true when people think their only choice in an election is to vote for the lesser of two evils. There is a better way; a fresh perspective…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – In sports, there are tie breakers or, like baseball, the game continues until one team wins. It’s not so easy in life. What happens when two Christian values compete and we have to choose? Mary and Martha disagreed, and Martha wanted Jesus to decide the issue. Instead, Jesus helped all of us make the…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – What kind of person are you? What kind of person do you want to be? Today we learn the answer to those questions. A man challenged Jesus and learned a life-changing lesson about himself. We’re about to learn that same lesson, and it has eternal consequences. What must I do to inherit eternal life?
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – At some time in our lives, most of us will come face to face with a problem we cannot solve. It won’t matter how much power we have or how much money we can throw at the problem. We will discover that we are powerless. When you get to that place, remember God is powerful…
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – The story of Elisha becoming Elijah’s successor answers that question. Elisha inherited the responsibility and opportunity to continue Elijah’s prophetic work. Can we dare to be an Elisha? We can. And we must!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Are you part of the problem or the solution? Do you spend your time and energy complaining about how bad things have gotten, or do you step up as a problem solver? If you’re tired of complainers and if you’re ready to step up and step out, the story of Elijah is for you…
It’s the most consequential rhetorical question of all time: what is truth? And when Pilate asked it, he had the answer standing right in front of him! Jesus said to him, “the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth!” We ask Pilate’s questions too. What can I believe in? Who can I trust? Where can I find the truth?
From God’s perspective, Pentecost was a day of blessing and power and understanding. We want to add more light than heat to an already overheated subject. Join us as we relive the story of Pentecost and discover God’s good gift given for a very specific purpose…
