Richard Ellis Talks

Just as a man and woman are able to reproduce physically as God designed it out of intimacy, we are to spiritually reproduce disciples as we grow in intimacy in relationship with God. He works in us to help us grow and mature so that we can seek out others to be reborn and help them in the growing process.

The Bible tells us that we will face suffering and persecution merely for living godly lives, but that our relationship with God is more valuable than avoiding that suffering. Everyone suffers, but the difference between the world and us is that we have the power of God in us and His presence surrounding us at all times.

As Christians, God makes us a new creation, transforming our minds to be yielded to His ways that are opposite the world’s way. Oftentimes, we choose to remain living like chickens even though He has given us wings like eagles. We must change our thinking to live the way He intended for us to live and change the world around us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com...

The Bible warns us many times about watching the words that come out of our mouths because it indicates what is in our hearts. If the words that we speak are not God-pleasing, Jesus-loving words then we should be asking ourselves where our heart is at and get right with God.

Worry and anxiety are things we all feel when faced with a difficult circumstance. When we find ourselves worrying about things, we are not able to trust God in the situation at the same time. We need to go to Him in prayer, release our anxiety, rejoice in His faithfulness and trust Him to take care of the situation.

The Bible says that God has specifically placed those in authority in their positions for His plans and purpose. We must trust that He knows what He’s doing, and follow His lead on when and where we need to take a stand. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Discipline is a necessary thing for a parent to inflict on their children so that their children can grow to live in obedience. In the same way, our Heavenly Father disciplines His children so that we can learn obedience to Him and live the life He intends for us to live.

God designed His Church, His children to function in such a way where we link arms with one another and help each other in our Christian journey. While we can worship God alone anytime, we cannot be a working member of His family without actually being involved and living life together.

Alcohol is something that many have used to ruin their lives, but alcohol itself is not a sin. When we choose to do something, whether drink alcohol or any other thing, we need to make sure that we are doing it for the glory of God. Rather than getting drunk with alcohol, the Bible instructs us to get drunk in the Spirit and let Him lead us and guide us in the things He wants us to do. To support...

Since the Church is made up of human beings it is inevitable to be messy because sin is involved. We need to understand for ourselves and for others that change is a process and God works on His people in His own timing and we must extend grace while He works.

God wants a relationship with us more than He wants to give us whatever we ask for. Rather than letting our prayers be all about asking for whatever we want, we must first seek a relationship with Him and then He will change our hearts to ask for what lines up with His will for us.

It’s never wrong to ask God for something, whether it be a way to make our lives easier or a way to avoid suffering that is coming. But when we choose to ignore the answer He gives us because we don’t like it, we set ourselves up for more suffering in the long run. We must first be willing to say “Yes” to God in anything He asks, and that is when we will learn to be content with Him when His answe...

There are many examples in the New Testament where the apostles were persecuted for preaching the Gospel, yet they responded by rejoicing in the Lord and He blessed them for it. When we follow their example, we may not receive the blessing here on earth but He gives us peace to endure the suffering and promises to bless us in Heaven.

When we find ourselves in difficult circumstances we need to call out to God and ask for His help, then keep our eyes open to recognize how He chooses to help us. We never need to fix ourselves before approaching God because only He can fix us anyway. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The Bible tells us that Jesus took on our sin so as to heal us from it, but that doesn’t mean we won’t face suffering in this life. It is better that we suffer for obeying Him than for choosing sin. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

There are many women who have lost a child, either by their own sin of choosing to give up that life or by other causes. Though it should not be the reasoning for becoming a Christian so as to see a child who has passed from this world to be with God, there is hope for mothers who follow Christ that they will once again be reunited with their children who have gone to be with the Lord.

We all face moments in our lives where we feel under pressure, sometimes more than others. That pressure can either cause us to run to sin or run to God. We need to make sure that we are running to God because He promises to bring us through it. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The Bible tells us that as a child may not always understand the reasons of a parent, we may not always understand God’s reasoning for things, however we are still called to trust Him even if we don’t get it. God’s Word may not always make sense but we know that He can be trusted, and so when He makes promises that declare His love for us we can cling to those promises in the midst of trials and p...

There are times in our lives when we face suffering and pain, and we may pray fervently that God would just take it all away. Sometimes it is His purpose that we face those things in order to bring us closer to Him, and we know that we never face them alone.

The world offers all sorts of pleasures, falsely promising to be satisfying but always finding to be leaving you more empty than before. God offers us a full and abundant life through Jesus Christ. Because of His death and resurrection, we can live a life where our soul is satisfied in the Most High. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for many women, as well as men, as it can bring up painful topics of loss. God addressed problems of motherhood in many places in Scripture, and He proved His ability and power to perform miracles. When we are in His family, He looks after us and discipline our disobedience because He requires obedience from all His children. To support this ministry financially...

The sin of prejudice in all of us keeps us from being the unified Body of Christ that God calls His Church to be. We need to let go of our differences and love each other equally so that the world looks at us and sees that there is no way we could be unified like this unless God is at work. When we love each other and worship together, it is as if we are practicing for the way it will be in Heaven...

There is a difference between humble confidence and fake humility, and confidence is rightly available to us in Christ. There is nothing wrong with seeing ourselves how God sees us, and once we realize He loves us and we grow to love Him, we can then love others just as we love ourselves.

Instead of being intimidated by the Bible we need to open it up and read it, allowing God to use it in our lives to speak to us and change us. If there is something we don’t understand then we need to find someone who can teach it to us. The Bible is full of treasures that God has given to us to reveal Himself and His love for us.

If there are things about ourselves that we are displeased with but can change, we should change those things. But for the things we cannot change we must learn to accept them and ask God how He can use those things for His glory. We can’t spend our whole lives complaining about the things that feel unfair.
