FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Telling the truth is never easy, but it’s always worth it.

Truth may be uncomfortable, yet it leads to freedom and joy, for in the end, God’s kingdom prevails and His truth reigns forever...
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – What could the Power of 4 do for you? How might you benefit from engaging the Bible four times every week? The evidence is staggering; the benefits enormous! Revelation includes some frighteningly graphic depictions of judgment. God is obviously not messing around. But should God’s people be afraid? Is the judgment of God a necessary part of salvation? Is it a blessing that one day God will...
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – In one rather stunning statement, Jesus said that we, his followers, are too often naive about the world around us. So let’s talk about what that means to us and how we avoid falling into that ditch. People are talking about getting back to church. Great idea, now how do we find a good church? Consider two tips, and yes, they involve the Bible and Jesus. Finally, we’ll consider the words that...
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – A significant part of the action in Revelation involves judgment. In vivid and horrifying detail, we get a glimpse of God’s awesome judgment of evil. Does this mean God is vindictive, just looking for a reason to get us? Does God enjoy the terrible attacks poured out in the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments? Why would a good God do such things?
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – In a week of tragedy and remembrance, God tells us and shows how He redeems. It’s simply indescribable how God can take the most horrible experiences of life and somehow manage to turn evil into good. Put simply, God redeems. Using His Word and His Church, God draws near and shows us the way forward through the pain and turmoil of life. Watch for it. God redeems!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – The four horsemen strike terror into the hearts of many people! Rightfully so unless . . . you’re a follower of Jesus. For followers of Jesus, they give us hope that Jesus can overcome evil. He has the authority to unleash death, famine, disease, and wild animals on evil. He brings judgment on evil and salvation for his people. He destroys evil and brings salvation by delivering us from evil. We are so glad...
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – We’re thinking out loud with another week of Instant Sermon. These are genuine questions seeking answers.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – More Instant Sermon questions, including a look at death and the role of the Bible in our lives. Then, a look at judgment. How will or how can we know what we do for God is sufficient for His high standards? Some of us act like experts on sin, but do we really know the difference between temptation and sin? As John Wesley might say, “When is sin properly called sin?”
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Christians and the political world will always intersect. Christians need to understand politics better. Plus instant sermon questions like: What does it mean that God chose a people, and why does it matter? How do we choose a church? Is jealousy a sin? Can we fear and love God at the same time? Finally, Pilate gave Barabbas the gift of life. Jesus offers you eternal life. Receive His gift!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – There’s a problem in the throne room. Where can we find a worthy one? Take heart. He is here; the Lion of Judah, the Slaughtered Lamb! He is worthy of worship.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Welcome to the throne room of heaven. Is it at all like what you would expect? Look around and consider who is present and what they are doing. The throne is central, and worship is continuous. God is worthy of worship because he created everything. He is worthy to receive glory, honor, and power by virtue of having created and sustaining all things. What a vision!
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – What are we going to do about the church? Churches are challenging, and our attitudes about churches are challenging! The churches of Revelation had their strengths and their faults. They weren’t so different than churches today. And like today, God calls the church to faithfulness. Indeed, God eagerly desires to embrace churches. His invitation is for the church to eagerly change and welcome Him...
