Richard Ellis Talks

The Bible teaches us that when we become believers, it’s not about acting like Jesus but rather having Jesus live inside of us. We can allow Him to work in our lives so that someday we can be perfect just as our Heavenly Father is perfect. In order to imitate God like Scripture teaches, we need to know Him by having an intimate relationship with Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: ht...

The lasting affect that our earthly fathers can have on us plays in big role in how we relate to God as our Heavenly Father, as well as how we are able to leave the past behind and walk new. When we are born again, God doesn’t just make us an improved version of our old self but instead makes us brand new. We must learn to leave our old man behind and put on our new self as our identity in Christ....

The story of Ruth in the Bible shows a great example of what it means to trust God and obey. Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi and obedience to what she said led Ruth to marry Boaz, and later in their family line was Joseph, the father of Jesus who saved the world.

Since the beginning of creation the devil has been out to steal, kill and destroy humanity. We must always be on the look out for his schemes, deny the natural pulls of the flesh, take up our cross of suffering and follow Jesus. In our obedience to Him we find abundant life and every difficult thing we encounter on the way is all worth it to be with Him. To support this ministry financially, visit...

History proves over and over that there are consequences for disobedience to God. We must make the decision to do the right thing, and when we fall down to get back up and keep moving. Our choice of obedience will pay off in the end. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Just like the Flinstones would get in their car and use their man power to make it go anywhere, we are too often living our spiritual lives in our own power. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside of us as believers and we must tap into that power, allowing Him to live through us.

When we become Christians, we join a family that together carries out the work of God in the world. We must learn to love believers and nonbelievers alike, and that can only be done with God’s help. Being a part of the Church is not all about what we get out of it but also what we have to offer to it. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

God has promised to take care of all our needs, yet we still tend to cling to our possessions, loving them more than Him. When we give our lives to Christ, He owns us and therefore all of our stuff is His stuff. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Trying to hold on as tightly as possible to our lives and our plans is a sure way to lose it all in the end. The only way of winning is to lose ourselves to God, letting go of everything and living in obedience to Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The Christian life is like running a race, and we need to run as if we want to win. It takes work, it’s not easy, but God puts people in our lives to help run with us. Let’s let go of the things that are weighing us down and run the race until the end with endurance and determination.

At Christmas time we wrap gifts for loved ones and place them under a tree to be opened and received. The Gospel story tells of the greatest gift of salvation, bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus, freely given and received under the tree at the foot of the cross.

There will always come moments in our lives when life socks and knocks us down. The world is watching how we’ll react when that happens so we need to show them how faith in God keeps us standing. Rather than focusing on your circumstances we need to focus on and trust in Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Just like in the story of the prodigal son, God is waiting for us to return to Him. He allows the pain in our lives often times to bring us back to Him. When we return, it does not matter how broken we are, He has promised to rebuild and restore us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

We cannot leave the job of telling others about Christ to preachers. We must take responsibility for the people that God has placed in our lives and tell them about Him. We may be the only person they have to tell them about the free gift of salvation. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

There are times in our lives when God’s grace rains down, but on an every day basis it is His dew that sustains us. His provision for every area of our lives shows us His immeasurable grace, but it’s His gift of salvation through Christ’s death on the cross that is more than enough for what we could ever need.

No matter what our circumstances look like, it is possible to be content because God has provided all that we need. When we focus on God and His Kingdom, our material possessions are merely used for Him and therefore no matter much or how little we have, it does not determine our choice to be content.

God did not hold back His grace for us, knowing that we would squander it and still struggle with sin. He cheerfully gives to us and calls us to be givers in the same way, giving to others as the Spirit leads, openly and cheerfully.

When Jesus died He knew that God would raise Him from the dead three days later. Because of His sacrifice, we are given the choice to leave this earth and be raised to life for eternity in Heaven if we give our lives to Him now.

The story of David and Goliath shows us an example of how God is capable to overcome any of our obstacles. Rather than getting worried and anxious about the trials we face, we need to put our trust in Him and believe His Word that says that He is greater than anything that comes against us.

God promises to supply all of our needs and has cared for His people throughout history. Jesus teaches that we have more than physical needs, and the only way to nourish our spiritual needs is through Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Whether we are holding onto our own mistakes from the past or the hurt caused by someone else’s actions towards us, we need to let it go and move on. God can bring people into our lives to help us sort through our baggage, but we have to be willing to empty it out.

Jesus gave us a good example of what it looks like to go outside of the box. Obedience to God draws us outside of our comfortable box so that He may be glorified and His name may be made known to others. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

Joseph in the New Testament was an average guy who decided to obey God and became Jesus’ step-father. When we become Christians we are no longer average Joes and only human. The moment we become believers God lives in us through His Holy Spirit and directs us to do His work. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The Bible is filled with stories that to anyone would sound absolutely crazy, most especially the Gospel story of Jesus coming as Messiah to die for our sins. While we cannot convince anyone to believe in this miraculous story with our words, the Spirit of God is powerful through the Gospel to reach people who will believe and be saved.

The Bible tells us that all of the pleasures of this world will never fix our own brokenness. Only God can change us from the inside out, and we must obey the things He commands to allow Him to give our lives purpose and meaning.
