Have you made a decision to leave all of the darkness behind and be made into a new creature in the light of Jesus? If not, make that decision as you listen to Pastor Ray teach from the book of Ephesians on today's Pilgrim's Progress.

And they said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name; lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."Genesis 11:4Nimrod, the wicked great grandson of Noah, set up a city that offered men a way to heaven without God. In such a system, the state sees itself as God; and to those foolish enough to fall for it, the government becomes God. Don't think it can't happen here.“The State is the Divine Idea as it exists on earth. We must therefore worship the State as the manifestation of the Divine on earth; the State is God, marching through the world.”Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel(1770-1831)We hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's message: “Nimrod and the Tower of Babel”

Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, “To dwell on the past simply causes failure in the present. While you are sitting down and bemoaning the past and regretting all the things you have not done, you are crippling yourself and preventing yourself from working in the present. Is that Christianity?Pastor Ray continues his series, Lessons For Life—From Heroes of the Faith with a message titled, “Failure Need Not Be Final”.

In today's message, Pastor Ray unpacked how the church in Acts 15 overcame conflict on the path to unity at the Jerusalem Council. First, we explore the cultural and historical context that led to the dispute before moving to the defense of Peter, Paul, and James for what God was doing among the Gentiles. We then unpacked James' Holy Spirit-directed decision that would promote unity between Jews and Gentiles. The legalists should lighten up and not lay too heavy a yoke on the Gentiles and the converts should be sensitive concerning their habits. Finally, we consider the direction-- what Holy Spirit might want us to focus today with "these three things:" Seek unity, Avoid offense, and Maintain a holy lifestyle. -Featuring Ray Grubbs

Pastor Ray reminds us that often there is a battle before the blessing and we are encouraged to hold onto God even when we are struggling.

The Bible is full of lessons for life that help us live for God and navigate the world we live in. Pastor Ray continues his message, "Josiah: Decluttering Your Soul."

In this deeply personal and heart-centered episode, Karen McMahon sits down with her longtime friend and pastor, Ray Longward, Lead Pastor at Experience Vineyard Church, for an open and vulnerable conversation about faith, healing, and leadership in life's hardest seasons. For the first time publicly, Karen shares the central role her Christian faith has played in her personal life and in founding Journey Beyond Divorce—“coming out” not just as a divorce coach and podcast host, but as a follower of Christ. Together, they explore the critical role of a spiritual foundation during major life crises such as divorce, loss, and personal transformation. They discuss shifting from religion to authentic relationship with God, the healing nature of a welcoming and emotionally intelligent church, and the courage it takes to live authentically in a divided world. Pastor Ray brings over a decade of ministry experience, leading a Bible-rooted community known for radical welcome, emotional intelligence, and a deep commitment to the wounded and marginalized. Whether you're spiritual, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this heartfelt dialogue offers hope, wisdom, and practical encouragement for navigating life's darkest moments with grace, faith, and courage. The episode closes with a moving prayer for all listeners—an invitation to anchor yourself in the power of something greater than yourself and to discover how faith can guide you through even the most painful chapters of life.

Jesus warns us in this parable that Pastor Ray is going to go through that we can be called by God but not chosen. Listen to this stern warning from the heart of Jesus.

Listen as Pastor Ray walks us through this amazing Parable of the Good Samaritan.

We are in the end times and we must be ready for the return of Jesus. Listen as Pastor Ray focuses primarily on Matthew 24 and part of Matthew 25.

In this message, Pastor Ray challenges us to examine the clutter in our souls that may be distancing us from God. The story of King Josiah in 2 Kings 22-23 serves as a compelling backdrop, showing how a young leader recognized the spiritual decay in his nation and took bold steps to rectify it. We're prompted to consider three types of clutter that can affect our spiritual lives: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Just as Josiah discovered the lost book of the law and used it to guide his reforms, we're encouraged to return to Scripture and allow it to illuminate the areas of our lives that need decluttering. The message draws interesting parallels between our modern struggles with materialism and the ancient Israelites' slide into idolatry, reminding us that prosperity can sometimes lead us astray rather than closer to God. As we reflect on this, we're invited to evaluate our own lives, identify the clutter that's accumulating, and take courageous steps to clear it away, renewing our devotion to Christ.Ridgecrest exists to reach the lost, build the believer, and connect the people of God to the mission and purpose of God.

The prophetic implications of the first murder in human history must not be missed!“Cain and Abel stand as representatives of two great classes of people. They typify respectively, the lost and the saved; the self-righteous and the broken spirited; the formal professor and the genuine believer; those who rely upon their own works and those who rest upon the finished work of Christ; those who insist upon salvation by human merits and those who are willing to be saved by Divine grace; those who are rejected by God and those who are accepted and blessed.”Arthur Pink, “Gleanings in Genesis”We hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's teaching on...“The War Between Two Seeds”

The conflict between good and evil in our day is a continuation of God's decree in the Garden of Eden. A war between the seed of the serpent and the Seed of the woman.“In these two seeds we see the history of mankind, for everything recorded in the Bible, and in the annals of humanity, can ultimately be traced back to what happened in the Garden. Everything, and I mean everything, goes back to these two seeds.”Bill Cloud, “The Enmity Between the Seeds”We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray continues our studies in “Genesis: The Book of Beginnings” with a message on: “The War Between Two Seeds”.

And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself."Genesis 3:7-10The 4 effects of man's fall into sin, recorded in Genesis 3, have been repeated in human behavior for over 6,000 years. Do you know what they are?“How evident it is that we all shared in the first sin and died in Adam. The first man stood in a federal position; and the fact that he acted in a representative capacity is seen by the fact that all his children share his nature and perpetuate his transgression.”Arthur W. PinkWe hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's teaching on “Echoes of Eden”.

Today we start a new series by studying the longest recorded prayer that Jesus prayed in the Bible. In what we refer to as “The Lord's Prayer” Jesus was teaching the disciples to pray. In John 17, Jesus is hours away from the crucifixion, and He prays a prayer we will study over the next seven weeks. This recorded prayer gives us an amazing look into the relationship of the Father and Son. Our text is John 17. Questions?

The Christian life is not about trying harder or about moral restraint. Some people on the outside looking in think it is about restraining yourself from the things that will bring you happiness…just say “no” because God will “zap” you if you have too much fun in life. Well, the Apostle Paul dispels that myth in his letter to the believers in Galatia. The Christian life is about a beautiful, prosperous, satisfying life of transformation.

Today we explore the first sermon of the church, the fiery sermon of Peter. We see him, empowered by the Spirit, truly catching men as 3,000 people are added to the church after being cut to the heart. Pastor Ray unpacks this sermon showing how God attested to Jesus being Christ and Lord through works, resurrection, exaltation, and Spirit. When confronted with these truths, we should be cut to the heart and join the crowd's desperate plea, "What shall we do?!" The Good News: Jesus did it all! We simply call on him for rescue. -Featuring Ray Grubbs
