It is a commandment against depending upon anyone or anything other than our heavenly Father to provide all our needs. We must resist any antichrist/socialistic/Babylonian system of government that puts itself in place of God as our Provider.“The Bible tells us that God is our Father; but more often than not, the people make the State their Father, because the State supposedly can provide us all the financial aid we need.”Gary DeMar, “God and Government”“The Father is the symbol, not only of authority, but also of provision.” ‘Our Father who art in heaven...Give us this day our daily bread'. To look to the State for sustenance is actually an act of cultic worship.”Herb Schlossberg, “Idols for Destruction”We hope you enjoy Part 3 of Pastor Ray's message...“Nimrod and the Tower of Babel”

Have you been entirely sancctified, made into an overcomer by the precious blood of Jesus? Listen as Pastor Ray lays out the path to this glorious work of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus.

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”

Max Lucado writes, “God has proven himself as a faithful father. Now it falls to us to be trusting children.”Pastor Ray shares his next message in the series Lessons for Life—From Heroes of the Faith, Abraham: Trust and Obey.

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

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.

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”

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.

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. Our text is Galatians 5:16-26.ASL interpretation is provided.  Questions?
