Richard Ellis Talks

There are challenges that come up in our lives when it seems impossible for us to overcome, but with God all things are possible. We need to remember when we have come out stronger from challenges that have been presented to us so that we can face oncoming obstacles with faith in God to bring us through.

Many Christians may say they are willing to die for Jesus, but they are not willing to die to themselves for His sake in their lives. Truly following Christ requires that we die to ourselves, give up our sinful desires, and let Him live in and through us.

Just like a ball in a sport cannot do anything on its own to score points, a man apart from God cannot accomplish anything of eternal value. We must place ourselves in the hands of God to use with His great skill so that we can have value based on whose hands we are in and we can bring Him glory. In order to be used by Him at all, we must first receive His Son, the One who made it possible for us...

We will all face difficulties in life but when Jesus lives in us we can have total ultimate victory over all things. When we realize the power that is in us through Him, our faith in Him diminishes all fear. God loves to work in the seemingly impossible so ask Him to help you triumph over the most impossible circumstances. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donat...

If we don’t take the time to rest, we will run ourselves into the ground because we’re not getting any deposits as we’re continuing to make withdrawals. In the category of sin, we must stop depositing the things of this world that we don’t want to have withdrawals from. When we live in the light and let go of our sin, we have the freedom to have fellowship with other believers. To support this min...

Many of us tend to have a sacred cow in our lives, something that we hold as an idol. Jesus died as the sacrificial payment for our sins, and so we must remember that when we hold on to something that is not pleasing to God we are abusing the grace that has been given to us.

The whole Gospel is centered around God offering us a completely free gift of mercy, grace and forgiveness from all of our sins. Instead of continuing to try to pay for it ourselves, all we need to do is open our hands and receive what He is offering us today.

We all make mistakes in our lives, but the goal is to make more right turns than wrong ones. No matter how many wrong turns we’ve taken in our lives, Jesus is always inviting us to a different path where we can begin making right turns as He leads us to do so.

The significant parts of our lives may not be the most happy times, but rather the moments when we chose to be faithful to God in the midst of trial and pain. The Bible tells story after story, highlighting people who were faithful to God and chose to obey Him no matter what and God honored that.

While we can see only a part of the work God is doing, we must be willing to submit to His authority and the authority He has placed over us in the church, trusting that there are others who see the big picture. We will never be able to lead well in any place until we learn to follow and obey. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The Bible tells us that we all have wicked hearts and struggle with sin. As a loving Father, God does not want us to continue living in sin and so He brings about the necessary consequences until we submit to Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Our lives on this earth will come to an end and there is nothing we can do to change that. What we do have a choice in is how we choose to live the one life we’ve been given. God has planned for our lives to glorify Him, obeying Him in all that we do, loving one another and proclaiming the Gospel.

While ministry can be a very draining career, it makes all the sacrifices worth it when we see lives changed and transformed by the Gospel. We need to allow other people to see our progress in the Christian life so that we can be an encouragement to those who have poured into our lives.

There are a number of issues that each person struggles with where the answer to solve their problems is easier but the application is near impossible. We are not alone when it comes to facing our greatest challenges because Jesus has given us His power through the Holy Spirit to overcome anything.

There are many people who count on having tomorrow to make decisions or changes for their lives. Unfortunately, we are not promised tomorrow and must decide now to follow Jesus because everything could change in a moment.

The devil has blatantly stated that he is after us to steal, kill and destroy the life that God has planned for us. When our salvation is already secured, we must resist temptation, take up our cross and follow Jesus to experience the abundant life He has promised. Nothing the world has to offer is worth settling for over what God has offered us already. To support this ministry financially, visit...

A motley crew is a group of people who are very different from one another. We need to realize that the Kingdom of God is a motley crew, and knowing this should help us reach out to others around us no matter how different they seem. We may all be different from one another but we, as believers, all have one purpose and that is to fulfill the work of God. To support this ministry financially, visi...

The Christian life only begins with giving our lives to Christ and it is continued in and through us every day. We cannot live it out by ourselves which is why God designed the Church so that we could do this together. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Discipleship is a calling for every disciple of Christ. When you become a Christian you must find other Christians that you can follow, and as you follow them you can learn how to lead others as well. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The devil and his demons are consistently working to destroy us. The only way that we can stand firm against the devil is to pray like Hell for ourselves and for others. We must always remember that God empowers us to fight in this spiritual battle when we pray fervently because sometimes it’s prayer that can make all the difference.

Just as a horse must be tamed in order to be useable by an owner, we must allow God to tame us in order to be used by Him. The more we resist Him, the more suffering must come in the process of breaking us in. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

God taught His people from the beginning to raise their children to honor and serve the Lord, loving Him with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength. When we model this for our kids by obeying this command ourselves, we are giving them an example of living a godly life that God promises to bless.

The Bible teaches us that we will reap consequences when we sow seeds of sin, but when we sow seeds of righteousness we will have great reward. We have an opportunity to plant seeds in the hearts of each person we encounter and we should choose to plant seeds of the Gospel.

Cheating in any relationship is always accompanied by guilt and shame that makes the cheating not ever worth it. Cheating is not always done through a physical act, but it starts in the heart. When we say that we love God, we must make sure that our hearts are completely loyal to Him and not straying. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Jesus offers to live in us forever, giving us eternal life, and we must respond with obedience to the things He tells us to do. Although He may have us go places that are difficult, it’s better that we face those challenges with Him instead of face the inevitable trials of life without Him.
