Larger Than Life

Christians should know the Word of God and they should know right from wrong. When we’re truly saved, we’re obsessed with the Lord and His Word! When we read the Bible, we learn right from wrong and we learn who He is! In today’s message, Pastor Ron will show you the importance of knowing Scripture and then obeying Scripture! When you become a Christian, you join in the body of Christ, and when th...

All Christians have a gift from the Lord! Something that is known by everyone and needs to be done within our Churches, families, and societies. God gives gifts that maybe someone else has as well, but He needs your touch, your personality, and your care to get it done. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will share how when you accept Jesus Christ into your heart and you’re baptized with the Holy Spir...

In Church ministry and in volunteering in the Church, it is very common for people to get caught up in themselves. We end up losing the whole point of serving in the first place…serving is to glorify God and God alone! It isn’t about us or the job we did good or bad, but about God and His plan that involves us! In today’s message, Pastor Ron will share some ways that you can respond that will put...

For a lot of believers, the Holy Spirit is very intimidating. Whether we just don’t know about Him or He has been misrepresented to us, the Holy Spirit can be a weird subject for some Christians…but we have to remember that He is God and God is the Holy Spirit. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will show you who the Holy Spirit is! The Holy Spirit administers special gifts to everyone, including you!...

Jesus Christ gave us nothing but His best! Beyond what we could even imagine as “the best”, He gave it all! So you and I could not only live but have abundant blessings in life! In today’s message, Pastor Ron will ask you the question, “Why don’t you give God your best?”...What is holding you back from fully surrendering your life over to God and allowing Him to lead you?! God has proven over and...

When we surrender ALL areas of our lives over to God, we get the blessings of having God rule and run our lives! And we get the peace of knowing God is taking care of ALL our worries! God is more than capable of handling the stress that comes with our finances, families, social life, and everything in between. We get the chance to hand those anxieties over to God and let Him give us peace! In toda...

God created us in a very specific and special way, with the intention for us to have free will. He didn’t make us into robots who follow orders blindly, but conscious people who can choose to make the right choice! When we have the freedom to make the right or wrong choice, we also get the immediate consequence. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will challenge you on what you’re using your free will...

This life can be challenging and finding peace can feel impossible. When you’re faced with a major choice or obstacle, it may feel like there’s simply no good solution. But, as Pastor Ron will encourage us in today’s message, we don’t need to face these challenges alone. We have a direct line to the Creator of the Universe. He listens to our prayers and speaks to our hearts if we take the time to...

As Pastor Ron will explain in today’s message, God has a divine timetable regarding the Church. He wants all to come to Him, but He knows that not all will, and Scripture indicates that He has a set number for how many will come to Him. Once we reach that number, He’ll send Jesus back to bring about the end of this world as we know it and usher in His eternal plan to restore Heaven and earth and b...

God has not forgotten about the Jewish nation. He loves them and set them apart to be a blessing to the nations of the world. While many have rejected the Messiah He sent, there are those whose hearts have softened and will be softened to see the truth of who Jesus is. God’s plan of redemption is actively underway and as Pastor Ron will remind us today, we are greatly privileged to be a part of it...

Where does God want you? For some, this is an easy answer, but for others, it can feel like a mystery. Sometimes God gives us a passion and He wants to use it for His purposes. Other times, He gives us a passion but asks us to lay it down in submission to His greater plan. Discerning this can be a challenge, but as Pastor Ron will encourage us in today’s message, it’s okay to make mistakes. It’s i...

Fervor for a cause doesn’t make it true or good. There have been many examples of this through the centuries. Many of the Jews who lived during Jesus’ earthly ministry were very loyal to their faith. But, as Pastor Ron will clarify in today’s message, their faith was misplaced. They were trusting in their own ability to follow the laws of God, instead of trusting in the promises God had made to th...

This doctrine is known as “replacement theology”. Many in the Church acknowledge that Israel is God’s chosen nation with an important role to play in His plan for this world. But there are subtle elements of this false doctrine that have crept into our ranks. As Pastor Ron will point out in today’s message, to deny Israel’s position is to ignore many clear promises and prophecies in Scripture. The...

The theory of evolution and the origin of species is a theory. It’s man’s effort to reason away our need for a Creator. As Pastor Ron will point out in today’s message, the irony of it all is that it requires far more faith to believe in this so-called scientific theory. It requires massive unproven assumptions to connect the dots in the fossil records and to hypothesize how life came to be in its...

There’s been controversy and debate through the years over who Jesus was and what His purpose was. Some have argued He was just a wise, magnetic teacher who drew people in with relatable stories. They may claim that His miracles were simply exaggerated or made up. But, as Pastor Ron continues our study of the book of Romans in today’s message, we’ll be reminded of the foundational truth of Christi...

You may have heard the term “cheap grace”. It’s the idea that someone can have Jesus as their Savior, but ignore him as their Lord. They want Him to forgive them, but they don’t care to conform their lives to His authority. Today, Pastor Ron explains that this isn’t biblically possible. When you agree – in your heart, and with your words – that Jesus is Lord, you’re accepting Him in totality. And...

There are probably some very important people in your life who don’t know Christ, and you wish they would! Today, Pastor Ron shows us that the apostle Paul had that same desire. But it didn’t stop there. Paul not only wanted those he loved to be saved, but he also prayed that they would be saved. God has placed people in your life, and in your heart, whom He wants to reach through you. You may not...

There seems to be a general consensus among people who believe in heaven, that God should allow everyone there. Or at least, almost everyone… maybe not the very worst people. But for the most part, we’re all really good, really nice people, and we deserve heaven. Today, Pastor Ron clearly shows that that idea is categorically false! No one “deserves” eternity in fellowship with the Holy God. Only...

We live in a culture that rewards people according to achievement. We see it in report cards in schools. We get “merit increases” at our jobs. We believe that people who are good or talented or work hard “should” succeed. But, as Pastor Ron explains today, that may be the way it works in this world. But that’s not how it works with God’s grace. His grace to you is totally His gift. You couldn’t ea...

When you hear of a horrific death or tragedy it makes your heart hurt. It’s normal for us to feel immense pain when we find out someone has died, but do we feel the same pain for people who haven’t found Jesus yet? Today, Pastor Ron will encourage you to go and seek the people who don’t know the love of Jesus. If you have doubts about someone's salvation, it’s never too late to talk with them. Enc...

The definition of conscience is: “an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior.” So we all have something that is guiding us to a feeling of being morally right or morally wrong, but the question is what is that voice that’s guiding you? Is it your voice, someone else’s, or something other than yourself? Today, Pastor Ron will encourage you...

The devil likes to make us doubt our salvation in Christ. He speaks lies into our ears that convince us that God is putting us through trials not out of love, but out of hatred and punishment. The reality is, that God only allows us to go through hardships because He loves us. If you begin to count your trials as joy, you will learn that God is in the midst of everything that you are faced with. T...

There isn’t any sin that you can commit that will take away your relationship with God. If you’ve called Him your Lord and Savior, you are saved forever. It’s hard to believe sometimes when you’ve done something that feels unforgivable, but that’s the amazing thing about God. He is willing to look past any mistake you’ve made as long as you repent and return to Him. Today, Pastor Ron will encourag...

In a courtroom, the attorney's role is to convince the judge of the defendant's innocence. Then, the individual is found not guilty. In the same way, when it comes to your spiritual journey, Satan tries to paint you as someone stained by sin. But did you know that there's an Attorney out there who has taken all the blame for you? Today, Pastor Ron shares how Jesus has saved you. He embraced the bl...

It’s easy to find yourself caught up in those thoughts about your past mistakes. You may feel unworthy of God’s love and wonder if He really cares about you, especially when you focus on your imperfections. But have you ever considered the fact that He knows everything about you—your past, your present, and your future? And despite all that, He still chose to love you and save you from eternal dam...
