Richard brings this morning’s message on seasons, as his season in Belle concludes and his season with the Army begins. We are reminded in Ecclesiastes there is a time for everything, and Paul encourages Timothy to continue work (even as he faces his own execution). As we wrap up our time with Richard, we are […]
This week Richard takes us to Colossians 1 for the message. When the power goes out at home, we often can find our way because we know the layout of the house, obstacles, and how to navigate. In life, we sometimes know the layout fo the land but oftentimes we do not. In our walk […]
This week Richard gives us a message from Hebrews. We briefly cover what the author of Hebrews conveys throughout the book, and we take a closer look at the end of Hebrews 13. Hebrews 13 starts with an encouragement to do good, as some have welcomed angels without knowing it. In verses 15-19, we are […]
As we reach the end of another year, Richard brings a message about finishing strong. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians, one of his earliest letters, about training right to be able to run (and finish) the race. In 2 Timothy, one of his last letters, Paul writes about finishing his own race. He alludes back […]
This week Richard takes a look at the carol O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and the scripture this relates to. This carol is an expression of longing for the Lord, as seen in the first verse where Israel is longing to be freed from captivity. In Matthew 1:18-25, Joseph is given a message from the […]
As we move into the Christmas season, Richard starts a new series, Christmas Caroling, where we will look at some popular carols and the scriptures they are based on. This week we take a look at Angels We Have Heard on High. We see this carol in Luke 2:8-20 where the angels appear to the […]
Richard wraps up a short series in Proverbs this week with a good reminder of how Christians should live. At the end of Proverbs 3, Solomon compares two types of people, those who act with righteousness and those that are wicked. In the world, it may look like the wicked have the better life/reward, but […]
Richard takes us through Proverbs 3 to see the next set of instruction Solomon had for his children. Solomon gives his children some instructions for a typical life, where you are to live a faithful life (including giving to the Lord). Richard talks about this instruction and what it means for believers today. Live to […]
Richard continues the series through Proverbs in chapter 2 this week, as we take a look at knowledge, wisdom, and the differences between the two. There is a clear difference between knowledge and wisdom, and we have all sorts of opportunities to apply it. Knowledge knows the right thing, but Wisdom does the right thing. […]
Richard starts a new sermon series where we will take a look at the teachings of Proverbs to increase in wisdom and understand God better. We start in Proverbs 1, where we find the foundation of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. However, we must understand that there is a balance of fear to […]
