Richard Ellis Talks

God, who made all things and holds all things together, made a way for us to be in right standing and relationship with Him by sending His Son to die on our behalf. We must submit our lives to Him, bowing our knees and acknowledge Him as Almighty God and Father. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The first and most important relationship that we need to seek reconciliation for is our relationship with God. He made it possible through His Son, and because of that we can be made right with Him and He can begin changing us inside. The more He fills us then the more His work in us overflows outside of us and changes the world around us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www....

When we are born again spiritually, our citizenship in Heaven is secured and this earth is merely a place we are visiting until we are called home. We must make the most of our time here, but keep our minds and focus on what is to come eternally. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Jesus modeled for us what it looks like to be a servant leader by washing the feet of His disciples, not just teaching about it. Rather than seeking after a high standing reputation or position up the ladder, we must seek to serve others regardless of our position and let God appoint us wherever He wants to place us to be used by Him.

When we truly live our lives surrendered to God, the Holy Spirit will impress on our hearts at times to give to others. Rather than holding onto everything we have, we need to obey and sow what God has given us and see the bountiful blessing that comes from that. He will supply all of our needs as we take part in the amazing fun of giving. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.o...

There are circumstances in our lives that we wonder why God is putting us through such difficulties, but we must understand that He may be using those times to humble and test us in preparation for how He wants to use us. When we face those moments, it is essential to keep our eyes on Him and pass the tests because when we pours us out after being shaken, He can use us in much greater ways than if...

When we choose to follow Christ we must count the cost and willingly stretch, giving up everything for His sake, and following wherever He leads us. We can trust that God will provide for all of our needs, but at the same time understand that following Him may leave some marks through which He will be glorified.

God’s grace covers all of our sin, but we must not take advantage of that so that we can sin all we want. We are called to live lives of obedience to Him, and having faith in Him is the first step to pleasing Him. When we live our lives to please God then when we see Him face to face in the end He will say, “Well done.” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/6...

We all begin our lives under the law of sin, meaning that there is no escape from nature taking its course and that we will sin. Jesus made the way of escape through His death and resurrection so that we no longer have to live under the law of sin but rather live in freedom. When we choose to live in freedom, He changes our hearts and changes the world through us. To support this ministry financia...

The Bible teaches us to remain connected to Jesus, as He lives in us through the Holy Spirit, in order so that our lives will bear His fruit. As He continually works in us, His fruits such as love, joy and patience begin to grow and others get a taste and want what we have.

A bummer lamb is a lamb that was rejected by its mother and is taken care of from birth by the Shepherd with tender loving care. Just as that lamb builds a special bond with the Shepherd, we respond to Jesus’ love for us by following Him closely and knowing His voice. He has constructed His Church to do this for the lost, and our job here on earth is to seek those that are lost and bring them to C...

As Christians, we are children of God and therefore we need to set an example for everyone around us of what it looks like to obey our Heavenly Father. There are always others watching how we live, especially children, and many will imitate us. We must instruct them to honor God in the way they live by living it out in our own lives.

Just like the Israelites in the Bible had seen God provide for them in miraculous ways over and over and still they turned from Him, we can easily get caught up in making idols for ourselves out of the things in this world no matter how much God has proven Himself to us. No matter how wild we may get wrapped up in our sin, the wildest thing is that He will always accept us back. To support this mi...

There are circumstances in our lives that can affect how we receive God’s Word, but despite our circumstances we can always choose to receive it the way He wants us to. When we hear God’s Word we need to allow it to take root in our hearts so that it can change us and we can begin to bear fruit and multiply the impact it has onto others.

It is easy to slip into believing what the world tells us about our sin, that it’s not bad and it doesn’t hurt us. The Scripture gives us God’s standard that does not change and tells us that sin is sin, and the more we sin the more He will discipline us because He loves us. We need to see our sin how He sees it, turn from it and obey Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.o...

We all deserve to be squashed like bugs because of the sins that we have committed, yet God has chosen to show us mercy and grace because of His love for us. When we humble ourselves and come to Him begging for mercy, we receive it and can then give it to others. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Too often we pick and choose what we want to relinquish control over in our lives but we don’t give God everything. He doesn’t want to share His rule over our lives, He wants us to completely surrender and let Him call all the shots.

The Bible teaches us that we only live once on this earth and that Jesus came to pay the price for us to live again with Him in Heaven. He promised that He would be coming back to take with Him all who are saved, but if He does not come back in our lifetime our earthly bodies will die. After that death, no matter how we die, the only way of living again with Him in Heaven is to be saved by His blo...

When we hold onto sin in our lives, we dirty our hearts more and more. God cannot live amongst sin and therefore brings us through fiery circumstances for the purpose of refining us and cleaning us up. When He searches our hearts and reveals sin in our lives, we need to immediately repent and turn away from the sin and towards God.

As Christians, we are called to use our time on earth wisely, doing the things God has called us to do and realizing that the stuff here on earth is just stuff and we can’t take it with us. God has called us to run a race, and so let us run that race to the best of our ability, investing all that we’ve got and bringing others alongside us as we run.

All the things we have are given to us by God, and sometimes He calls us to give something away to someone else. When we trust Him and obey His call, He continues to provide for all that we need. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Rather than focusing on the things we don’t like about a church, we need to step in and serve where God has called us to serve and do our part. When our focus shifts to serving and obeying God, the problems will work themselves out rather than if we sit in our discontentment and complain.

Though many people believe that the good things they do can outweigh the bad things they’ve done, the only way that a person can be reconciled to God is through Jesus Christ. He died to pay the price that we all owe because of our sin, and if we believe in Him and accept His forgiveness then we can stand before God debt free.

Just as people who work for a certain company represent that company, we, as Christians, represent Christ to everyone we meet. When we interact with someone, we need to make sure that we are always offering a sales pitch, showing them what it means to follow Christ and extending the invitation to them.

God is always at work and wants to use us to accomplish what He wants done. If we make ourselves available to Him so that if at any moment He calls us we respond, we become a more useful tool for His work. As servants of God we are all called to be available, prepared and useful for Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29
