Sometimes, when we look at our walk with Christ, we reflect on our own lives…where we were when God saved us…and we may even think, “Why would God want to save someone like me?” In today's message, Pastor Richard wants you to know that Jesus loves you. It's the only reason why Jesus sacrificed His life for you on the cross; it's because He loves you so much. He knew that even though you couldn't pay the price, He could.

In this sermon on James 1:18-27, Pastor Jared Richard explores how God works through His Word to both save and sanctify believers. The passage reveals that God "brought us forth by the Word of truth" (James 1:18), emphasizing that salvation comes through the gospel message being proclaimed and received through the Spirit's work. However, this new birth is only the beginning; God intends believers to become "a kind of firstfruits of his creatures," living testimonies of His redemptive work. Pastor Richard explains that while salvation is entirely God's work, sanctification requires our participation. Christians must position themselves before Scripture by hearing the Word (being "quick to hear"), receiving it with meekness, and obeying it rather than merely hearing it. True reception of God's Word manifests in three key areas: controlled speech that reflects Christ, putting away worldliness and sinful behaviors, and demonstrating "pure and undefiled religion" by caring for orphans and widows. The sermon concludes with the challenge that if we've been saved by the Word of truth, we must also be shaped by it.   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

In this life, we know that our journey will not be easy. Can you imagine what life would be like if you had to walk this path alone, without anyone to lean on when the weight of the world comes crashing down? But you aren't alone; God created you to be with Him, so you can depend on Him for everything. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds you that when you have Jesus in your life, you will never be alone and that with Him, all things are possible.

When we look at the world and see sin prevalent everywhere, it's easy to feel discouraged. It's natural to look at the wars in our countries and the natural disasters and wonder when it will all come to an end. However, as Christians, we must remember that this world is not our true home. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds us that our home is in Heaven, alongside Jesus, and the day will soon come when we will be with Him.

Pastor Richard reminds us of the two kingdoms, that we should choose the kingdom of light. The more we choose God, the more our light shines. Choose the kingdom of light, and live according to its principles.

Quiet moments of study build reservoirs of truth before crises rage. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will urge you to memorize, meditate, and sing Scripture, weaving verses into routines—commutes, workouts, and even lullabies. Like sandbags stacked before the flood, rehearsed promises hold back fear when thunder rolls. Post them, pray them aloud, discuss them with friends, and watch peace rise when storms strike.

Self-centered goals once drove your every decision, but faith in Jesus reorients the compass of the soul. Ambition shifts from chasing applause to serving others; possessions become tools for generosity rather than trophies. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will encourage you to celebrate this inner renovation of the soul that aligns your motives and your desires with the heartbeat of your Savior.

Sometimes in our walk with God, we can get caught up in the life of a Christian and forget God's commission to us to share the gospel and make more disciples. That's what Pastor Richard invites you to do. He's not here to convince you or persuade you to join Christianity. Pastor Richard is here to share the truth with you so that your eyes can finally be opened. The question is, now that you know the truth, what will you do with it?

Judges 6:11

One of the most challenging things we can do in life is choose Jesus. When the world presents its glamour and tempts us with things that we know are bad for us, it can be difficult to confront it and say no. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds us that even when life gets tough, having Jesus Christ in our lives assures us that we're never alone. With Him, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. With Jesus, everything is possible.

When you look at the work done on the cross, have you ever thought that you could do what Jesus did? Could you live a perfect life and give it up for the world, even if they didn't believe in you? That's why Jesus was the only one who could pay the price of sin, and today, Pastor Richard invites you to accept Jesus into your life. Allow Jesus to enter your heart, ask Him to reveal Himself in your life, and Jesus will make Himself known.

Pastor Richard delivers the twelfth and final instalment of our We Believe series.

God rules all the Earth! That means, anything He says and does is to protect those who live here! He says you are sons and daughters of His. He loves you and wants you to have eternity with Him. Because God's a global God, He wants all peoples to know Him. Today, Pastor Richard says God will judge the whole Earth. It's up to you to share the gospel with those around you so they have the opportunity to receive the love of God into their hearts.

When a parent sees a child about to hurt themselves, what do they do? They take preventative measures to stop them before they harm themselves! Today, Pastor Richard says God disciplined the people in Jeremiah's time so He could protect them. He wanted them to be set up in the best situation possible, which means that He must protect them from further harm. God may be doing that to you! Trust Him to guide you through your life!

Part three of the "Our Time To Fly" series. Pastor Richard talks about how there is a SHAKING in the earth in this time. He shows the importance of us FLYING TOGETHER in UNITY to NEW ALTITUDES with NEW ATTITUDES.

Self-centered goals once drove your every decision, but faith in Jesus reorients the compass of the soul. Ambition shifts from chasing applause to serving others; possessions become tools for generosity rather than trophies. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will encourage you to celebrate this inner renovation of the soul that aligns your motives and your desires with the heartbeat of your Savior.

There are books all around that promise to change your life if you read them. Whether it's a health and wealth book or maybe it's a fantasy book that has an amazing plot. There's only one book that will change your eternity. Today, Pastor Richard says the Bible changes your eternity by always pushing you to holiness. Holiness is a hard thing to attain, but it becomes attainable if you trust in God to lead you through every step of your day.

Psalm 119: 89-96

It's easy to surround ourselves with people who affirm our decisions, whether good or bad, but what if that isn't the best way to live our lives? Today, Pastor Richard says sometimes the best encouragement isn't saying what you want to hear, but saying something that you need to hear. It's a fine line, but a good friend will always say the truth to their friend even if it hurts. They'll always push their friends to love Jesus more.

I remember the first time I watched the movie Avengers: Infinity War. Spoiler alert: The heroes all disappear with the snap of a finger! I remember leaving the theater and saying the phrase “I'll never experience that again!” What if I told you there's someone who came to Earth so you can say that statement about your own life? Today, Pastor Richard says Jesus came down to change you forever. He's given you access to eternal life with God.

When kids are in trouble, who's the first person they go to? Their parents! But, how often have you heard of a child saying thank you to their parents when everything is going well? Today, Pastor Richard says it's easy for you to go to God when you're in a trial, but it isn't as easy when things are going well. You must be thankful to God always. He wants you to live a good life, that's why He's always guiding you, even when you don't see it.

What's the consequence of not following the Lord? Today, Pastor Richard shares that the people in Jeremiah who rebelled against the Lord perished. God wants you to live in eternity with Him. He loves you and is constantly seeking you out. You must follow Him with all your heart and believe that He's Lord to be saved. He doesn't wish anyone to perish, but wishes that all have eternal life through the death and resurrection of His Son.

I'm about to get married, and a phrase that all married couples have said to me is, “You'll quickly realize how selfish you are.” Though there's excitement about marriage, there's a fear that follows because I'll learn a lot about myself every day, and it might hurt. Today, Pastor Richard says, people often want to be changed by God, but they don't like the pain that comes with it. When you give your life to God, He promises to lead you, even through pain.

Jeremiah endured rejection, isolation, and relentless opposition, yet he never walked alone. God fortified his courage, gave him words when his voice shook, and lifted him from the pits of despair. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will remind you that the same steadfast presence accompanies you. When circumstances threaten to silence hope, remember Jeremiah's journey—proof that God's strength can sustain, guide, and carry you through absolutely anything.

When courage falters and words feel inadequate, remember you're not alone; the Holy Spirit is with you in every conversation. He translates your imperfect sentences into invitations of grace. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will encourage you to allow the Holy Spirit to do its thing—guiding, prompting, and empowering ordinary believers to speak with clarity and compassion so that the good news finds fertile soil wherever it's shared.

Culture shifts like sand, celebrating new trends one day and discarding them the next. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will remind you that the Bible offers a fixed compass to anchor your decisions when society's moral lines blur. Let its wisdom steady your convictions, even when popular opinion scoffs. Choosing Scripture over shifting norms safeguards your integrity, nurtures peace, and aligns your journey with Christ's eternal purpose.

James 1:17-21

God isn't intimidated by raw honesty. He welcomes cries of confusion, anger, or grief as readily as songs of praise. Silence breeds isolation, but confession opens space for comfort and clarity. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will remind you that pouring out your unfiltered emotions in prayer is an act of trust, inviting God's gentle presence to meet pain and reshape it into resilient hope and a testimony for His glory.

Jesus' yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Coming to the point of accepting and bearing that yoke is not easy, though. It requires a conscious decision to lay down your desires and ambitions and step into a life of sacrificial love. But, as Pastor Richard will explain in today's message, it's the best choice you can make. Once you've laid down your life and made Jesus Lord, you'll find joy and fulfillment that can't be found anywhere else in this life.

Bold witness often draws ridicule, from raised eyebrows in the break room to online sarcasm that questions your sanity. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will remind you that rejection often isn't failure but evidence of a distinct allegiance to Christ. Prepare your heart with prayer, gentle confidence, and unwavering love, knowing seeds planted amid jeers can still take root in hearts unexpectedly softened over time.

Ambitions can drift toward applause or control without us realizing it, but Christ offers continual heart renovation. And in today's message, Pastor Richard will remind you that surrender invites God to examine your hidden motives, extracting pride and planting compassion. As His love reshapes the why behind every what, service becomes joy, success becomes stewardship, and relationships become avenues of grace. Let Him rewrite your inner agenda daily.

Part three of the "Dynamic Duos" series. Pastor Richard finishes the series covering the PARTNERSHIPS of FAITH. He shows that FAITH is more than a head knowledge or belief system in God.

Joshua 6:25-26

Psalm 127:3

In this sermon, Pastor Jared Richard explores the significance of "breaking bread" as one of the four pillars of the early church found in Acts 2:42. He demonstrates how Jesus intentionally used meals throughout His ministry to teach about His kingdom and sacrifice. From dining with tax collectors in Luke 5 to instituting the Lord's Supper in Luke 22, Jesus transformed ordinary tables into gospel opportunities. The early church continued this practice, using both formal meals (the Lord's Supper) and informal gatherings to remember Christ's sacrifice and demonstrate gospel unity. Their shared meals crossed social, economic, and ethnic boundaries, proclaiming that all believers belong at Christ's table. Pastor Richard challenges us to redeem our tables for gospel purposes by using mealtimes to remember God's provision, deepen our love for one another, and invite unbelievers to experience Christ. As he concludes, "What better way to saturate North Raleigh with the gospel than by saturating it with bread... and giving thanks to the Lord for His physical provision and calling others to see the spiritual provision He has given us in Jesus."   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
