Hyrum W. Smith says, “Your behavior is a reflection of what you believe.”  If someone truly believes his house is on fire, he will grab his family and get out.  What we believe will change what we do.  People who Live by Faith will take action.  Today Pastor Rich looks into the lives of the people mentioned in Hebrews 11 whose faith was evident by their obedience and actions.

On the cross, as Jesus completed the great sacrifice on behalf of our sins, the curtain of the temple that separated The Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom.  Now through the blood of Christ we can enter the holy place and come before God the Father, not just as His servants but as daughter and son.  Everything has changed.  Our life objective has a name.  Our source of life has a name.  Hi...

The Old Testament sacrificial system was a picture, a shadow of the One who would truly atone for our sins.  Jesus came to do what the sacrifice of bulls and goats could never accomplish.  On the cross, He fulfills the Father’s will, offering His body as the only true sacrifice that could, according to Hebrews 10,  take away sins and make perfect those who draw near.  Today, Pastor Rich talks abou...

If a single drop of poison falls into a gallon of water, the whole gallon becomes deadly.  Likewise, sin is not just a small part of us.  It has infiltrated and polluted humanity.  God opposes that which destroys good, just as doctors try to eliminate cancerous cells that destroy the body.  In the Old Testament, animal blood made atonement for sin, so that God could draw near to His people, but th...
