Are You Letting...?

Are you letting Jesus be Jesus to you?  Are you fully surrendered into His hands?

Beyond the Want To - Reprised

Pastor Rick does something in this sermon that is rare: He re-preaches a sermon.  :-)  We trust it remains a blessing to you in its reprised format.

The Power of Confession & the Freedom of Forgiveness

Wherever you are on the curve, I would like to invite you today to rediscover the power of confession and freedom of forgiveness.  If you are an unbeliever, would you confess your sins and be born again?  If you are a believer struggling against your own nature, would you confess your need, submit to the Lordship of Christ, and be filled with the Spirit?  If you are saved and sanctified but wrestling with broken relationships or the temptations to sin, would you confess your sins to God and man and discover forgiveness?  And, if you are harboring unforgiveness toward anyone today, would you confess it and relinquish it – let it go – so that you may once again know the freedom and power of forgiveness in your heart and life?  Would you once again walk in the way of peace?  Rediscover the power of confession and freedom of forgiveness.

Hard Things Series 2 - Called to Freedom

On the 4th of July weekend, Pastor Rick shared another message with us from the Hard Things Series exploring the implications of true freedom and choice.

"In the beginning of time when God made humans, He hallowed freedom when he created us with the power to choose or we call it free will or free moral agency.  In this sense, God endowed us with a sacred freedom which He has permitted to remain inviolate no matter the horrors that have resulted throughout history as a result.  For though freedom by its very nature exposes opportunity for great evil, it is only in the context of freedom that true and meaningful good may be discovered or accomplished."

What Does God See When He Looks at Me?

Listen as Pastor Rick talks about recent events in the news and uses them as a springboard for self-searching and seeking to draw closer to God.  Are you in an intimate relationship with God?  Do you know how He perceives you?  What does God see when He looks at you.

Crisis of Thrones

Listen as Pastor Rick closes 2012 with the question: "Who is on the throne of your heart?"  your answer to this question will prepare your heart for 2013. 

Mercy - How I really Feel! :-)

I haven't shared any of my music for a long time.  This was written & recorded on a still unreleased album called "Hidden in the Cross" several years ago.  I'm doing the vocals and Kathy Zink is at the piano.  I hope you enjoy!
