Think about a cake… You may have seen some beautiful and elaborate cakes before. And isn't it the biggest disappointment in the world when you bite into a slice of cake, and it's like eating cardboard? In today's message, Pastor Richard wants you to know that the Word of God has to be at the center of your walk with God. You can put on an outward display of being a “good Christian.” But do you spend time knowing God through His Word?

We're creatures of comfort, aren't we? We like the A/C in our homes set to the perfect temperature. We like our beds to be the right firmness to suit us individually. Even our cars have seat warmers and coolers and eight points of adjustment to achieve that perfect fit. In his message today, Pastor Richard urges you not to make comfort your top priority, but God's glory. Is that true of your life? Do you desire to see God glorified above all else?

Some people are always living in the past. They're always telling stories about the good old glory days. But what about today? Is the best of life all in the past? In today's message, Pastor Richard wants you to know that the filling of the Holy Spirit isn't a one-and-done in your life. You can be filled again in a fresh new way to do what needs to be done today. You don't have to live in the past; you can look forward to what God still wants to do in your life.

It's easy to think of church as just a place we go, a building we visit once or twice a week. But God has something much bigger in mind. Jesus is the foundation, and every believer is a part of what He's building. When we gather, we're not just attending a service; we're coming to meet with the living God. Today, Pastor Richard reminds us that God's presence is what makes the church the church. Without Him at the center, we've missed what it's all about.

Special events are great! Weddings, birthdays, graduations… But when the festivities are done and over with, life goes on. Yeah, those things are great to celebrate, but aren't lives being lived, marriage vows kept, and career paths followed the substance behind them? In his message today, Pastor Richard shares with you that miracles from God are AWESOME, but eternal life is even better! A restored relationship with God is the ultimate goal.

Sometimes we forget that old things were once new. For example, a rusty old pickup truck may have had a life of hauling heavy loads, with its engine roaring with power. In today's message, Pastor Richard wants you to know that the power of the Holy Spirit never grows old. Two thousand years after Pentecost, the power of the Holy Spirit is available to you today, just as fresh as it ever was. Have you experienced His power in your life?

There always seems to be that one shy, awkward kid in school who blooms in adulthood. I mean, you'd never guess that he'd be the kid killing it in life as an adult. No shy and awkward anymore… Now he's the guy that everybody wants to be. In his message today, Pastor Richard tells you that the Holy Spirit can empower you to do things that you never thought to be possible before. He'll give you the strength and power to be bold for Christ.

There are a lot of people who can pick up a guitar, sit down at a piano, or even turn on the radio and sing along. There are professional musicians who can sell out stadiums and put on a performance in front of thousands of people. Today in his message, Pastor Richard tells you that the Holy Spirit empowers you to sing praise and worship to God. It's about so much more than just singing; it's a spiritual act of giving god glory.

Do you remember the 90's sitcom Home Improvement? Remember Tim the Toolman Taylor and how he used to looove MORE POWER *WHOAH OH. In his message today, Pastor Richard shares with you about the power of the Holy Spirit that's available to you as a disciple of Jesus. This isn't just a little power; this is the power of God living in you!  This is the Holy Spirit empowering you to be a bold witness for Christ.

If you were blessed to have a good father, you know that they were always on your side. They may have disciplined you and had high expectations, but you knew they had your best interests in mind. Now, of course, no earthly parent is perfect. But as Pastor Richard will point out in today's message, God loves you as a Father, and He is perfect. You can trust Him with full confidence that He will provide for you and guide you. 

Have you ever been given the responsibility of purchasing something on the company's dime? Whether it was thousands of dollars of supplies or just a few bucks on a coffee run before a meeting… You may have made the purchase, but it was on behalf of, and paid for by, your employer. In today's message, Pastor Richard tells you that as a Christian, you've been sent out by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry out Kingdom business.

Because of our sinful nature, none of us is worthy to stand before God. We often grade ourselves and each other on a curve, giving leniency for our own failures, but harshly judging those whose sins are more apparent or harder for us to understand. The truth is that we're all equally sinful in God's eyes. But, as Pastor Richard will remind us in today's message, there is Good News. Jesus died for all of us to be made worthy in God's sight. 

For some of us, that may be convicting. We live in a world and culture that has lost sight of what it means to be kind, and it's just as bad in the Church. We should be beacons of kindness and grace, but for many of us, put a camera in our car as we drive down the freeway, and you won't see a reflection of Christ. Today, Pastor Richard will challenge us to be intentional about sowing to the Spirit of Christ in us – living out His grace every day.

Part two of the "Badges Of Honor" series. Pastor Richard continues the series on HONOR. He goes into more about how HONOR carries GREAT REWARDS in your life!

Pastor Richard talks about staying near to God, in His presence and developing a close personal relationship with Him.

If you were blessed to have a good father, you know that they were always on your side. They may have disciplined you and had high expectations, but you knew they had your best interests in mind. Now, of course, no earthly parent is perfect. But as Pastor Richard will point out in today's message, God loves you as a Father, and He is perfect. You can trust Him with full confidence that He will provide for you and guide you. 

In today's message, Pastor Richard says that the beauty of community is that when you're overwhelmed, there will be someone to support you. The same goes if someone else is overwhelmed; you may be able to support that person and walk with them through their struggles. Loving one another begins with being there for that person during a tough season, the same way Jesus was there for others when they were struggling as well.

I get it; sometimes, loving people can be very hard. But imagine the impact you would have if you loved someone no matter what happens. In today's message, Pastor Richard says that no matter what happened and where you're at in life, Jesus has always loved you, and He will continue to love you. So why should you hate someone else? Jesus demonstrated perfect love, and you have an opportunity to show everyone what that love looks like. 

Have you ever had so much pride that you swore you weren't wrong about someone but ended up just being dead wrong? It's humbling, and it's probably how the Pharisees felt after Jesus' death and resurrection. In today's message, Pastor Richard says that Jesus didn't come to earth with pride and with the agenda to prove everyone wrong. He came humbly and quietly. He wasn't trying to get any attention. In fact, He was hated by those who claimed to know Him. 

If you were to plant a flower in rocks, how well would it grow compared to a flower in soil? The soil gives it proper nourishment and is held in the water so that it can grow. The rocks would do the opposite, which would eventually kill the flower over time. In today's message, Pastor Richard says if a seed is planted in good soil, then it'll turn into good fruit. If your faith is rooted in Him, then your life will bear great fruit and be full of blessings.

Ever read a ridiculously long history of a long-standing business? Once a business owner starts a business, that person will forever be the owner. Like how Christ started the church. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds you that Jesus is the head of the church. No one else. There can be leaders within the church, but no one is above the King of all kings. No matter who started the church, and who runs the church, it all belongs to Jesus.

In the history of Christianity, as well as in many other world religions, people have gauged the favor of God in their lives by their earthly success. To be healthy, wealthy, or powerful has been seen as a sign of divine approval. But, as Pastor Richard examines the book of 1st Peter, we'll be reminded that following Jesus will often mean the opposite. It will bring hardship, but it's worth it for the spiritual abundance He promises us. 

If I were to stand next to someone shorter than me, what's the glaring difference between us? Well, I'm taller than that other person, but here's some news: God sees us all the same. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds you that as humans, we're all sinners. You may think that compared to the rest of the world, you're a good person, but you're still a sinner in need of a Savior. That's why Jesus came and saved us all now and forever!

Imagine getting invited to an event, and you only know one person, but that one person knows EVERYONE. It's pretty great; you get all of the same privileges as that person since you're the guest, and everyone welcomes you with open arms! In today's message, Pastor Richard says that the beauty of accepting Christ is that He clothes you in righteousness so that you can spend eternity in Heaven. What an honor it is to be so close to Him!

If someone told me that I'm unhealthy, what would I do? Well, I definitely wouldn't be eating the same diet. I can change my diet on my own, but I can't grow closer to God without Him. In today's message, Pastor Richard says that transformation doesn't occur because of what you do. Transformation occurs when you trust God to change you from the inside out. You can't do anything apart from Him; putting your faith in God says that you'll trust Him with everything.

I love, love. Love brings so much joy to my life. I love my family, friends, and my mom's cooking. We are naturally born to love things, and God calls us to love each other more than anything. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds you that above all else, love one another. Love is so important, especially as a Christian. Everything that God has created and structured for you is done in love. How can you exhibit God's love for you today?
