Larger Than Life

David here shows us that when you worship in adoration before, in the midst, and after your battles, God will come through. Instead of focusing on the giant in front of Him (literally), he focused on God, and God delivered Him from Goliath's destructive hands. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will remind you that whatever your giant is or whoever your Goliath is, if you praise God and center yoursel...

The Bible commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves. It commands, not suggests, to love God and to love one another because Christ first loved us. Jesus loved us long before we knew Him or knew what love even was. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will challenge you to look at how you love others and who you’re actually loving. Do you have some sort of hate towards another person or people group?...

One misconception and misrepresentation that I think turns so many people away from Jesus is that He enjoys allowing bad things to happen to us. Let me just say this: He doesn’t. It grieves His heart, and we know that because the Bible tells us so. God allows tragedies and trials to wreck our lives only to help us grow stronger in our faith and endurance in this life. In today’s message, Pastor Ro...

We are all sinners, but there is forgiveness in God. In today’s message, Pastor Ron reminds us of what it cost Jesus to pay for our sins and encourages us to be grateful. We should thank God continually for deliverance from our guilt and shame. Just as certain as the sun rises, we have the hope and assurance of forgiveness. Grace abounds more than our sin. We all experience times of sinfulness and...

Periods of sorrow often precede great joy. Today, Pastor Ron emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful and relying on Scripture during times of trial, as such faithfulness ultimately yields a significant reward. The Scripture states that those who sow in tears will reap with rejoicing. Afflictions may sometimes serve as divine correction. The appropriate response is obedience and faith, with...

Where do we seek assistance in times of need? The Psalmist affirms that his help comes from the Lord. Today, Pastor Ron urges us to turn to the Creator God for support, as He has all power and strength. God will not permit our steps to falter but will oversee every aspect of our journey. He serves as the perfect watchman who never sleeps. God assures us that He will be our strength and our right h...

Although we live in a world often marked by condemnation and gloom, God assures us that those who follow His law will experience peace. Today, Pastor Ron emphasizes the significance of God’s word in sustaining peace in our lives. While the world generates unrest, God offers solace. Rather than being distracted by the negativity of a lost world, we are encouraged to focus on God’s promises. Instead...

God is in control. In today’s message, Pastor Ron emphasizes that God’s sovereignty extends beyond our individual lives to encompass the entire universe. Therefore, we need not fear global warming or the destruction of the earth, as Scripture affirms that the elements of the universe serve God’s purposes. The earth will eventually pass away, but it will occur according to God’s timing, and He will...

We live in such a wonderful time in history where we have both access to God’s Word, as well as access to the means to read and understand it. Pastor Ron reminds us today of the importance of being engaged with God’s Word and studying it to have it written on our hearts. With the ease of access that we have to the Scriptures, we would be foolish not to engage with them fully! If you have been stru...

In Matthew 6:21, Jesus says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” This sentiment is provided here throughout the Old Testament as well. Pastor Ron poses a valuable question to us in this message: Do we value God’s Word more than anything that this world has to offer? We ought to take a look at our daily routines, at where our time goes, and see if we’re really prioritizing our...

A brand-new Christian often expresses such great fervor for the Lord that it often does one of two things for the “seasoned believer” that sees this: it either encourages them to reignite their passion for Christ if they have gone cold, or it makes them wish that they, too, could experience the passion again. It’s easy to become numb to the mercies of God if you are not constantly reminded of your...

Excitement is contagious! We love to celebrate publicly the successes and victories we witness or experience, whether in athletic events, academic achievements, or the workplace. Pastor Ron reminds us today that as believers, we have the greatest cause to celebrate! It is normalized for people to paint their faces and cheer for a sports team, but if someone is that excited about Jesus, we might la...

Are you an all-or-nothing type of person? Or are you content to get away with the bare minimum? How would you feel if the pilot flying your plane, or the surgeon operating on you, was a “that’s good enough” type of person? It’s much more reassuring to know that you care about what you’re putting yourself into. In today’s message, Pastor Ron encourages you to put yourself wholeheartedly into your p...

How often do we forget to count all our blessings? It’s easy to complain about work, or money, or relationship drama, but do we remember to give thanks for the blessings in our lives? In today’s message, Pastor Ron encourages you to regularly rehearse God’s faithfulness in your life. There’s just something about taking a moment to remember all that God has done that uplifts your spirit. When you t...

Do you ever feel like you’re on a constant rollercoaster in life? Like, for a little while, you’re doing great, you're killing it at work, your finances are all in order, and you're in the best shape of your life. Then there’s this downward spiral, and you can’t keep up with work, money’s tight, and “who has time to take care of their body?”  In today’s message, Pastor Ron shares with you that eve...

Sometimes we tend to walk around like we’re a bigshot or something. We think that because we’re making big money, or we’ve been putting in overtime at the gym, or because we’re so smart, that we must be something special. Well, in today’s message, Pastor Ron reminds you that from dust you were formed and to dust you will return. No matter who you are, you’re going to die. But, because God is merci...

It’s true that our society boasts of all its wonderful accomplishments. We take so much pride in our rugged individualism. I’m not saying that hard work and independence are bad in the right context, but sometimes we just think too much of ourselves. In today’s message, Pastor Ron reminds you of what God has done and that all glory belongs to Him. There’s nothing you have that you can take credit...

There’s a lot of “Fake” going around these days. Between AI-generated videos and images, and people who are just good at Photoshop or video editing, it’s hard to know what’s real. So, if you want to experience reality, then you’ve got to go out into the real world. In today’s message, Pastor Ron contrasts the majesty of the real God, who created all of the universe, against the false gods who were...

Let’s face it, everybody goes through challenges in life. Whether it’s financial struggles, family drama, health issues, or anything else, none of us can control what comes our way. The question then becomes, how do we deal with those issues? In today’s message, Pastor Ron tells you that God will take care of His children. It doesn’t mean that you won’t face problems in life; it just means that wh...

Have you ever heard a singer who didn’t sound like they cared about what they were singing? Not only is it obvious when they’re not into it, but it kinda makes it hard for you to get anything out of yourself. After all, if they don’t care, then why should you? In today’s message, Pastor Ron encourages you to sing to the Lord joyfully because of what He’s done in your heart. God is worthy to be pra...

Have you ever drifted outside of God’s will and felt the distance it created in your heart? In today's message, Pastor Ron encourages you that no matter how far you’ve wandered, the way back is simple. If you draw near to God, He will draw near to you. He will restore you, revive you, and pour out His mercy. God is gracious and ready to bring you close again. But He also doesn’t want you to turn b...

There is something deeply satisfying about being in the place where God meets with His people. Today, Pastor Ron describes the beauty of being within the house of the Lord. While many appreciate coming to church, the real question is whether fellowship with God’s people is truly one of your top priorities. It should be. Nothing else can replace the strengthening, encouragement, and life that come...

In today's message, Pastor Ron highlights a powerful prayer from someone who cried out to God for help. He asked the Lord to place His hand upon the one at His right hand and to come and strengthen His people. The psalmist repeats this cry because he knows that only God’s reviving touch can keep His people from turning back. When God’s favor shines on you, everything changes. This remains a great...

Does your faith get stronger when you start talking out loud about what God has done in your life? Today, Pastor Ron explains the deliberate choice not only to meditate on God’s works but also to talk about them with others. While meditation in the Word is personal, speaking of God’s deeds to fellow believers builds up faith. When you gather together in God’s house, you encourage one another, stre...

Have you ever looked at difficult leaders or painful situations in your life and wondered why God wasn’t stepping in to remove them? In today's message, Pastor Ron explains that sometimes when you cry out for God to act against your enemies, He is actually using them in His own way. God can raise up or bring down authorities to accomplish His purposes. No ruler or government exists outside of God’...
