Ambassadors for Christ

Listen to one of Pastor Rick's Key Messages, "Ambassadors for Christ."  Pastor Rick firmly believes in this concept.  Made new creatures, reconciled to God in Christ Jesus, we are called to represent the High King of Heaven.  Listen and be challenged!

No Worries - WEWH Series

Listen as Pastor Rick shares another installment in this fun and meaningful series called "Words of Earth - Wisdom of Heaven." "No Worries" is a popular phrase in our culture as is the Swahili phrase "Hakuna Matata."  Do these phrases have a place in a Christian's vocabulary and philosophy?  Indeed they do!  Listen as Pastor Rick ties these popular phrases to real Christian living. 

WALK

Just walk.  That is all that is required for any human to live a successful Godly life.  Simple faith and obedience are the keys to success.  Are you walking with Christ?

YOLO - Words of Earth - Wisdom of Heaven Series

Listen as Pastor Rick preaches another message from the Words of Earth - Wisdom of Heaven series.  Is YOLO a philosophy Christians should live by?

The LAW Series - Final - The 3 Laws of Jesus

In this final installment of the series about the LAW, Pastor Rick links the Old Testament Law to the teachings of Jesus.  We can quickly see how they all tie together.  (Please forgive the poor quality of our audio this week.  We had some technical difficulties.  Thanks for your patience!)

WEWH Series - NO FEAR

Listen as Pastor Rick shares the second message of the Words of Earth - Wisdom of Heaven series: "NO FEAR."

The Bible says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."  But it also says "God has not given us the spirit of fear." Is this a contradiction?  Listen as Pastor Rick uses our culturally popular phrase, "No Fear" to explore this tension. 

The LAW Series: The End of the LAW

Nearly finished with our series on the LAW based on Dr. Philip Ryken's book, Written in Stone, Pastor Rick covers the "end of the Law."  He walks us through how the LAW and its mediator Moses point us to the New Covenant and its mediator, Christ our Lord.  Learn how Christ bore the weight of the penalty of the LAW upon his shoulders that we might discover grace.  

Only one message remains in the series: "The 3 Laws of Jesus."  Coming Soon!

Words of Earth - Wisdom of Heaven (WEWH) Series: JUST DO IT!

Pastor Rick begins a new series today called "Words of Earth - Wisdom of Heaven."  Each sermon in this series will spring from a common phrase in our culture to explore a Biblical truth.  It is our hope that when you hear these phrases in the future you will not only think of them in an earthly context, but also from a heavenly perspective.  Today's message: "Just Do It."

What is God calling you to do?  To follow Him?  To witness for Him?  To obey Him?  Just do it!

Changes Coming....

Greetings to all my wonderful followers!  I appreciate your interest in my blog.  Changes are coming.  For quite some time, I have used the blog as the engine whereby our church could share news and audio from my sermons.  However, we now have a new church website.  You can reach it by typing www.wateroflifebmc.com, .net, or .org 

It is a work in progress, but very soon all the audio will be hosted there and I will return the blog to its intended purpose of "blogging."  :-)  Thanks for following!
