FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – That same discipline of careful thought belongs in the life of faith. Scripture shows law protecting us until we are ready to follow God in love. The law keeps children from danger. Faith invites us to maturity. To love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves is a higher calling. It changes how we live and how we judge...
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – A pastor returns from Israel profoundly changed, sharing how walking biblical ground transforms faith from words into lived reality.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Faith anchors us as we hear Wesley’s final words and Revelation’s closing promise, “I am coming soon.” Trust in God reshapes how we live, serve, and make decisions in the public square.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – The horror and relief of judgment in Revelation are now on full display. What must happen horrifies us as we find relief in deliverance from evil. Then, as though God is consoling us, worship repeatedly interrupts judgment. Worship is an unmistakable contrast to the violence of judgment. It’s so noticeable it almost seems out of place. Let’s look closely and see what Revelation reveals about worship.
FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – A woman’s son is rescued from a fierce dragon cast out of heaven. As the dragon rages across the earth with two beasts by its side, chaos spreads.

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

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.

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.

These questions and more as we build absolute confidence in the trustworthiness of God.

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!
