Richard Ellis Talks

Just like God used Mary to bring Jesus into the world as part of His plan to save the world, He can use you and me if we make ourselves obedient to Him. There’s nothing more special about anyone as to why God chooses to use them, He just looks for willing people who put His will ahead of their own and uses them to change the world.

God offers each of us a completely free gift that He paid for with the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. All we have to do is reach out and receive it. Once we have this greatest gift, we can do nothing but respond in worship. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

God has given each and every person amazing gifts and talents, yet they are all best used when they glorify Him. The greatest gift He gave is His own Son to be sacrificed so that we can be saved. All we have to do is receive His gift for eternal life. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

When we choose to believe that God can accomplish anything He says He wants to do, we get to watch the impossible take place. When He gives us the faith to believe in Him, His Holy Spirit resides in us and we can share the good news of salvation with the world in the midst of any trying circumstance.

We often say that Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas, but the truth is that Jesus came to earth for us so we are the true reason for the season. He offers us the gift of eternal life and all we have to do is accept it and let Him come live in us and through us.

Instead of pursuing a career and money to bring ourselves joy in life, we need to live obedient to God in all that He calls us to do and that will bring about balance. When we give Him our best to be used by Him, He utilizes us for His work and blesses us in the process. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

God has blessed us beyond what we could even comprehend, and the best way to thank Him for all He has given us is to turn around and give Him all we have. David gave us this example when it was recorded how much gold, silver and other jewels he gave merely to decorate the temple of God. All are given much, but few take the time to be thankful.

When Jesus ate His last meal with His disciples, He took a moment to encourage them to remember the death that He was about to experience. It is in giving thanks that we remember the benefits that God gives to us, and so we must be thankful in all things and remember what He has done.

When we call out to God to help us we must be ready and willing to obey whatever He tells us to do no matter how crazy it sounds. When we get His answer to our call and obey what He does, we must never forget to thank Him for the blessing that we receive.

The Bible teaches that God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and freely offering salvation for all those who will believe. While He is all of those things, He also says in His Word that his mercy will come to an end for those who continually hold onto their sin and refuse to repent. The day of judgment will be a terrible one for those people, so the plea remains: repent, believe, and receive...

Our lives change when we are broken over our sin and we experience God’s forgiveness when we repent. Then we need others to help us put the pieces together and show us how it looks to live the Christian life. Because of others helping us, we can get to a place of being able to help others who feel like they are in pieces. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate...

There are all kinds of categories of people that come into a church, but God has called those a part of His Church to be involved with one another and live in community. Knockers are unbelievers seeking for God, and also they are believers continually pursuing God. Rockers are those who live out the Gospel and what Christ has called us to, rocking the world as they go. May we be both. To support t...

Being smart is very different than being wise, and as children of God we are instructed to grow in wisdom in order so that we may make wise choices. The more that we seek after wisdom the more we develop the Pop Eye, seeing things through Gods eyes. Wisdom involves knowing what the right thing is to do and acting on that, making good choices to avoid future downfall or mistakes. To support this mi...

There are instances in this world where children, women, and sometimes men are taking beatings on a regular basis. While the Bible instructs us to not retaliate when someone hurts us but rather to respond in service, we also must seek God in each situation. If He tells us to stay and suffer, we must obey and believe He has a plan for it, but if He tells us to go we must go. To support this ministr...

Too many people want the benefit of salvation without the Lordship of Christ in their lives. When we submit to Jesus in every way, it is only then that we experience the freedom that He brings us from the sins and entanglements of this world.

One of the greatest way to determine how well our lives are being used by God is by examining the parts of our lives that have been wasted. Instead of falling into temptations of distraction and momentary pleasure, we must run and fight with endurance, staying focused on Jesus to finish this life having used it for His glory.

God provided a way of justice for our sins through Christ’s death on the cross so that we can be brought into perfect peace in relationship with Him. When we have peace with God, we can see past the differences of others and extend peace to them. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The Bible tells us that no matter what we do or how we grow, it all must be rooted in godly love or else it’s meaningless. When God shows us an area of our lives that needs to change, our maturity is deepened when we listen and respond in obedience.

As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit living in us and working through us to fulfill God’s will. When we are prompted to share the Gospel with whoever we are talking to, we need to step out in obedience and do it because we may not know the work that God is doing behind the scenes.

There is nothing in this world, physical or spiritual, that can war against us and overcome us if we are living in the power of the Holy Spirit. God has given us His power to be more than a conqueror for any power that comes against us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

We live in a world that brings constant change, and often that can come with scary circumstances invoking fear and restlessness all around us. When we are God’s child, we can trust that He will take care of us, and there is nothing in this world that we need to fear. He promises that He is with us always, and even if death comes our way we look forward to being with Him in Heaven forever. To suppo...

When we listen to God, He will lead us to meet the needs of people that cross our path. Since all our stuff is His anyway, we need to be good stewards of what is His and distribute it where He wants us to. When we give to other people, Scripture tells us to give in secret so that they do not find out and give glory to God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donat...

As Christians, we ought to be waiting on the Spirit to blow some wind in our sails, and allow Him to guide us to where He wants us to go. Then, when we’re there, we need to listen and watch for what He is doing so that we can respond in an appropriate manner. The Holy Spirit desires to use us to do extraordinary things, but we can’t do those things without Him and so we must wait, listen, watch an...

Jesus went through excruciating suffering in order for us to be saved. When He says in Scripture that we are to take up our cross and follow Him, that means that we need to be ready at any moment to give our lives for His sake. Even if we don’t ultimately die a physical death on His behalf, we need to die to ourselves and follow His will in our everyday lives. To support this ministry financially,...

The Christian life is like a race that we are running, and the devil will do everything he can to try to take us out. We must let go of whatever is holding us back and run the race, focusing on the prize at the end. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29
