The enemy constantly conspires against us and puts us in difficult situations, whether at work or in relationships. And those trials often get the best of us and break us down, whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. How do you defend yourself against the enemy? Today, Pastor Ron explains how you can pray for faith in your life every day. You may face trials at times in your life, but your f...

We, humans, can be extremely self-centered at times. It could be at work, where we tend to envy our coworkers, or in a relationship, where we fail to recognize what our partner truly requires. But there is someone who did something that no one could ever imagine doing. Pastor Ron tells you in today's message how Jesus took all of our sins on the cross with Him and washed us clean. Even though He d...

When Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day, His blood washed away all of our sins and made us spotless in the eyes of our heavenly Father. However, because of our sinful nature, we frequently fall into the grip of sin. In today’s message, Pastor Ron explains how to put on the breastplate of righteousness and be free from sin. Even when the enemy throws you through difficult trial...

We often tend to question the truthfulness of the other person, whether at work or in a relationship. Even as a Christian, when the enemy places us in difficult situations, he frequently uses deception to change our minds. We begin to doubt our salvation and wonder if we are truly saved. Pastor Ron explains how to put up your shield of faith at all times in today's message. You are prone to sin ev...

We are frequently tempted by the enemy. As Christians, our life is constantly under attack by Satan, who seeks to deceive and bring us down by placing us in difficult situations. Even when we believe we are strong, we frequently fall for his deceptions and end up in the grip of sin. Pastor Ron talks about how you can use your faith in God as a shield against the enemy in today's message. Even if S...

In your walk with Jesus, have you ever found yourself at odds with other Christians? Have you ever found yourself resenting or avoiding other Christians because of differing doctrines? Maybe because of differing political ideologies? Today, Pastor Ron wants you to know that no matter what, you need to always be empowering other Christians and lifting them up. It hurts God for Him to see His childr...

In your relationship with Jesus, are you always seeking righteousness? There’s the bad kind of righteousness that makes us feel pompous and prideful, and then there’s the good kind that pleases the Lord. In today’s message, Pastor Ron wants you to know that you need to always be seeking to be righteous in the eyes of the Lord. He wants nothing more than to dwell with you in His holiness and you ne...

In your faith journey, what do you do when you’re in your darkest moments? When it seems like the whole world is collapsing onto you, who provides deliverance? Today, Pastor Ron explains that no matter how difficult the going gets or how alone you may feel in your trials, God is always by your side. He has never abandoned you and will always be there to lift you out of the darkness. There is nothi...

In your walk with Christ, do you ever find yourself falling into the ways of the world? Do you ever lose sight of who you are through Jesus because of material gain or social status? In today’s message, Pastor Ron wants you to know that no matter how much you achieve in this lifetime, none of it will matter in the end. The only thing that matters is the work that you’ve put in for God’s kingdom. N...

You found a unique and beautiful rock, gleaming in the sun. But then your sibling came and covered it up with dirt, and you couldn’t find the rock anywhere! How cruel! Something so beautiful was then hidden by the dirty ground, nowhere to be found. This is what Satan tries to do with his lies. He tries to cover up the truth, the good, the beautiful things that God’s doing. Pastor Ron clues you in...

It might be a humorous sight to see if a young child’s pants keep falling down. He tries to hold his jeans up with his hands, but the pants continue slipping down, being far too big for his body. He needs a belt, to hold everything together and prevent him from tripping over himself. In today’s message, Pastor Ron really pinpoints the fact that the Bible is your belt. It’s God’s Truth that holds e...

When you think that people are your enemy, you may not realize that there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes. Pastor Ron helps you see today that there are demonic forces that are “pulling the strings” backstage, and they’re affecting situations and even the person-to-person interactions you’re struggling with. Never forget that there is real spiritual darkness at hand, and it’s not to be mes...

How often do you encounter someone in their own territory just laying there, and letting you take their land or their country? Unless they’re dead, they’re not laying down! You want to be standing strong, defending your country, or your cause. In today’s message, Pastor Ron makes it clear that when you’re standing up for God and wearing your armor, you should be standing tall, ready to oppose the...

Have you ever had a hard time doing your job because of a poor boss or leader? It can be hard to feel motivated to do good work when you're under poor leadership. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will be sharing about working for The Lord rather than for other people. When we work for the Lord, we won’t care about the approval of man. We end up letting our desire for pleasing God and being a good st...

Have you ever thought that God was going to bring you out of a situation, but he tells you to stay? Oftentimes we want God to deliver us from a place we don’t want to be in! Sometimes He will, but other times He may call us to stay and persevere through it! This is all according to his plan because we may be able to further the Kingdom more when we’re in a situation than when we’re not! In today’s...

Have you ever looked around this world and seen discrepancies between how the Bible depicts family, and how we see it played out today? There are so many things that can distract us from building healthy families. A healthy family doesn’t happen by accident, but it takes a lot of work! In today’s message, Pastor Ron is going to share how the Bible tells us to raise our kids so that they can have a...

When you first start reading the Bible you may just think that it gives spiritual instructions for life. The reality is that the Bible has a lot of wisdom to offer when it comes to navigating the relationships that we have in life. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will be sharing the instructions that Paul is giving to Parent-Child relationships. Have you ever had a hard time navigating some of thes...

The Bible refers to the church as the Bride of Christ. When Paul is giving instructions to believers about marriage, he uses the way Christ loves us as a reference for how husbands should love their wives. In today’s message, Pastor Ron is going to help us understand some of Paul’s teachings to husbands in the book of Ephesians. Husbands have Jesus as a model for how to care for and love their wiv...

When Paul was writing his letters to the churches, he was trying to retrain them in Kingdom mindsets. These kinds of teaching would change the way they lived, worked, and how they managed their relationships! In today’s message, Pastor Ron is going to be going over Paul’s teachings to husbands and wives in the book of Ephesians. These weren’t just principles for their time, we can apply these same...

Too often, the world views the word “submission” as a bad word. It has been misused and misapplied in so many ways. But God’s heart about this subject was different, as it was written by Paul. What’s meant in this passage that Pastor Ron teaches today - is that your heart and your will are trusting another, and there’s respect and honor in that. You don’t just go blindly into things, doing or sayi...

You can have equality, while at the same time having different functions. Today, Pastor Ron lays it all out, as he teaches through a passage that talks about marriage and the different roles that you play within that relationship. Even Jesus had a different role and function to play than His own Father. So just when you’re tempted to get frustrated or not understand why God has different functions...

If you talk to anyone, you know that bed bugs are a complete and utter nightmare to deal with. But they’re tiny, minuscule little bugs that are difficult to see or even find, but the after-effects of their harm can be monumental. Did you know that sin is like a bed bug? You’re not even aware of it, but it’s so damaging to your body and to your mind. The effects that sin can have on your life can h...

Whatever it is you fill your time with, it starts to become a part of you. When the meat has been marinated all day in a secret special sauce, the meat becomes infused with the flavor of the sauce. In an oddly similar way, Pastor Ron is speaking today about being filled, saturated, and even dominated by the Holy Spirit. This is a really good thing! It will help you keep your fleshly responses in c...

Submission can be viewed as a dirty word in today’s society. But there’s plenty of submission that’s necessary in everyday life. How about submitting to the traffic laws, so you don’t get in a serious car accident? Or keeping young children from drinking alcohol, so they’re not intoxicated by something that could poison them? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ron helps you see submission in a positive l...

“Carpe (Car-PAY) diem (DEE-em)” is a known term that means, “Seize the day.” As you’ll hear today in Pastor Ron’s message, God wants you to make the best use of your time, while you have it here on earth. That doesn’t mean wasting the days that are in front of you; that means taking the opportunities you have for Jesus, and running with them, to reach the finish line! Paul’s example was a great on...
