God Wastes Nothing

   

Listen as Pastor Rick discusses how God wastes nothing:

"As I tried to formulate this thought into something coherent I wrote what many of you saw on Facebook: “God wastes nothing: no good thing, no bad thing; no joy, no sorrow; no gladness, no sadness; no circumstance, no heartache, no tragedy; not even evil. He alone can accomplish good amid it all and bring His eternal purposes to pass.”

As I turned this over and over in my mind, one of the questions I posed to it was the question I pose to everything: is this Biblical?  Is it true?  Is this in alignment with what really is?  I examined the journey of thought that brought me to the conclusion and then tested it against the Bible to see if what I supposed was true."

ADVENT 2016 - Joy

Listen as Pastor Rick continues the Advent series with this sermon about joy.

"...through it all they were sustained by a deep abiding everlasting joy.  It is joy to know that sin is forgiven.  It is joy to no longer bear the shame and guilt of sin.  It is joy to hear the whisper of His voice in our spirit.  It is a joy to be saved by the Savior.  It is a joy to be restored to our Maker.  It is joy to live no longer for earth but for Him.  It is joy to look beyond any suffering here we might bear to Him Who loves us, who gave himself for us, and one day will come back to earth in person to restore us to everlasting joy."
