Richard Ellis Talks

The world is full of people who will try to get us off course when we make the decision to follow Jesus. It is essential that we study and learn Scripture and that we have godly people around us to help teach and protect us. As Christians, we have the most protection of all because we are held in God’s hands. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

When we face difficult times, it’s easy for us to fall into the mindset that no one cares about us or what we’re going through. Scripture tells us that God cares for us, provides for us, meets all of our needs and wants to be with us in close relationship as we walk through the trials of this life. Instead of sitting there questioning if anyone cares, we need to believe what He says is true and wa...

We are all born once into this world, but if we stay born once we will die twice, first our bodies in this world and then our soul in eternity. If we get born a second time by salvation through Jesus Christ who overcame death, then we will only die once as our bodies in this world die but our soul will live forever with Him in eternity.

We don’t have to understand how prayer works, but we do have to trust God when He tells us to pray. The Bible tells us to pray without stopping, meaning that we need to be constantly open to the Holy Spirit prompting us to pray, whether it be for our own situations or for other people.

There are numerous passages in the Bible that talk about giving money to the church. Although we may choose to keep our money from the church, we end up spending it somewhere else anyway. Everything we have really does belong to God, so we should obey Him by giving the first fruits to the church, and allow Him to direct us in how to use the rest of it.

Mothers often show an example of putting others before themselves. However, mothers are not the only ones called to this way of thinking. The Bible teaches us to think of others above ourselves in all situations. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Being a mom is a great calling that God gives to many women, but it is not an easy calling. The Bible instructs women to live and raise their families a certain way. God chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus, to raise the man who would save the world, and what a job it was. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

While the world may see us from the outside and cast us aside based on what we look like or where our talents are lacking, Jesus wants to come inside our hearts and live through us. When we let Him in, we join God’s family and we can no longer be on the outside of what matters most. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

God has put us in certain places and among certain people so that He can use us to make a difference for Him right where we are. We must be available to Him and willing to let Him use us however He pleases. That is how the world will be changed.

All temptations fall into three categories: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. God has provided a way for us to escape the consequences that come with falling into these temptations by giving us His Spirit to walk with. When we stay in step with Him by submitting ourselves to His leading, we remain in the will of God and our lives become about Him instead of ourselves. To s...

A common problem with American Christians is they are more tied to their American culture than to Christianity and spreading the Gospel. The Apostle Paul models for us the importance of not relinquishing his beliefs while adapting to different cultures and people groups.

When we are in the presence of Jesus through His Church, we cannot deny the truth that He is alive. His tomb is famous because it is empty, and it is because of His resurrection that we have the choice to become spiritually alive in Him and let Him use us to reach the world.

The Bible tells us that not only did God make us, but that He also cares for us as His children. When we come to that realization, we can no longer think too highly of ourselves nor on the flipside think of ourselves as worthless. He gives us value, and we can humbly walk as His child, sharing with others the gift of this new identity that is only found in Christ. To support this ministry financia...

The Bible is filled with instruction for living our lives to avoid facing moments of wishing we could have, should have or would have done something differently. We must spend time in God’s Word, heed His instructions, and take a stand when necessary for what He tells us is the right thing to do.

It is so easy to look for answers or for things to fulfill us, but it is only being in the midst of God’s presence that our life will make more sense. We need to seek Him only, not the benefits He has to offer, and He will be with us to face any trial that may come.

It’s okay to be a new Christian for awhile, but at some point we need to step up and take responsibility for the way that we live, following the standards that the Bible sets up for us. Men must stand up as leaders in their families and in their church, and godly women need to seek this kind of godly man.

We can read in Genesis that God saw the evil in the world and destroyed the earth with a flood, leaving only eight people and the animals to rebuild. The New Testament promises that the heavens and the earth will be completely destroyed by fire when Jesus comes again, and we must respond to His free offer of salvation for our only chance to be saved.

As Christians, we are given the task of reaching others as we continue moving forward and pressing on towards the finish line. It’s okay to get tired and rest, but we must pick back up and get moving so that we don’t coast to the end. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

There comes a time when we have to stop coming up with excuses when God tells us to do something, whether it be to begin following Him or anything after that. We need to stop excusing ourselves from obedience and begin listening and responding to the things He says. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

We are all broken people because of sin that is in the world. The good news is that God can heal our broken hearts, and He longs to do that because He loves us. When we see the scars from the times we were broken, rather than hearing the accusations of the devil, may we praise God for His healing in our lives.

The world looks at us and says we have no proof that Jesus is alive, yet the proof we have is all throughout our lives if we are truly living saved by His grace and walking in obedience. Scripture is full of verses and proof of Jesus’ prophesied life, death and resurrection. Since His resurrection, the changes He makes in our lives from the inside out is proof of His life living in and through us....

The Gospel story is that Jesus died a brutal death, was buried as a dead man, and rose to life. It is because of His sacrifice and His resurrection that we can be saved from the inevitable spiritual death that is due to sin. It is important that we share this good news with everyone we encounter, knowing that it is only God who can give them the faith to believe it. To support this ministry financ...

The Bible tells us that Jesus was the perfect sacrificial Lamb that paid the price for all the sin of the world. When we don’t believe that and keep living in our own sin we are carrying the guilt and debt that our sin brings us, but when we choose to believe and give Him our sin and shame He takes it on Himself and freely offers us eternal life.

The thief on the cross next to Jesus who acknowledged Jesus as Lord and asked to be in His Kingdom was given what He asked for. God offers us a ticket to paradise free for the taking, but when we take it for ourselves we must also tell others that there are plenty more tickets for them, too.

Just as Christ’s passion was not only displayed on the cross but also in His suffering leading up to the cross, we are also to endure the inevitable suffering in life with passion for Christ. We are also to be passionate about others and serve them in the same way Christ served others. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29
