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.

When you pause, reflect, and test impressions, you'll learn to trust His guidance all the more.

Joshua 6:25-26

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.

If you've ever struggled with a habitual sin, you know how good it feels to live in victory over that sin. When you go a week, a month, a year, a decade, and so forth, it boosts your pride and feelings of self-worth. You may even start to think you deserve your place in God's family. In today's message from Pastor Richard, we'll be reminded that our worth and belonging in God's family is based on His grace – not our performance.

Psalm 127:3

Isn't it so much easier to navigate to a new destination when your co-pilot knows the way and can steer you in the right direction? It definitely takes the pressure off! Your spiritual journey tells a similar story. The road ahead is a bit of a mystery. Anything is possible! So, have you figured out who your guide is yet? Today, Pastor Richard encourages you to lean on God through every moment. Only He can show you the right path!

Have you ever thought about why some folks get all defensive when you mention how Jesus saved the world from sin? It's as if they've closed off their hearts, don't you think? Today, Pastor Richard dives into the reasons why people often resist Jesus. When your conscience is determined to follow its own path, it tends to push back against genuine conviction. But you know, God has His unique way of reaching those hardened hearts!

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!

Taking a detour in your journey doesn't always promise that you'll end up where you intended to go. In a way, straying from God and wandering down the worldly path is like taking a detour that ultimately leads you to eternal damnation.

Arise and Build Pastor Richard LeJeune August 24, 2025 Sunday Morning

Have you ever noticed how modern cars give you a little nudge when it's time to shift gears? It's all right there on the meter console, making driving feel like a smooth dance! Just like that, on your faith journey, there might be moments when you feel a strong urge to share the gospel with those around you. So, does that just happen naturally? In today's message, Pastor Richard shares insights on how the Holy Spirit guides your heart!

In this sermon on Acts 2:42-47, Pastor Jared Richard addresses the concerning decline in church attendance among American Christians, emphasizing that God created the church for our good and His glory. The early believers were devoted not only to Jesus but to one another, gathering together daily for worship, meals, and mutual support. Pastor Richard explains that this fellowship isn't optional but essential, as God is forming a people, a family with purpose. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:4-10, he describes how believers are "living stones" being built into a spiritual house to proclaim God's excellencies. The church provides three vital gospel benefits: it deepens our joy in the gospel through shared worship, helps us evidence the gospel's power through meeting needs and extending forgiveness, and strengthens our hope by giving us glimpses of heaven. Pastor Richard challenges believers to resist autonomy by gathering faithfully, resist anonymity by pursuing meaningful relationships, and resist apathy by practicing gratitude for God's design of the church.   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Salvation completely belongs to God; there is nothing that you or any person can do to earn salvation. Today, Pastor Richard will be reminding you that while you were in your sinful state, Christ died for you. And if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved! Christ alone was good enough to earn Heaven, and He declares righteous those who trust in Him for salvation. 

Breaking free from addiction is one of the most challenging struggles anyone can face. It's not just a physical battle; it's also a spiritual one. Many people experience addiction even before they find their way to God. But the good news is that God is more powerful than any of our vices or sins. Today, Pastor Richard wants to remind you that for healing and growth, there can be no room for sin in your life. Allow God to cleanse all sin from your life.

Ephesians 5:21

You know what's amazing about God? God could have come back at any point over the last two thousand years and judged the earth, but He hasn't. Instead, God has given humanity every possible second to hear His Word, to hear the truth, and to spare them from eternal separation from Him—all because He truly loves you. Today, Pastor Richard wants you to remember that God is never unfair but is loving, just, and waiting for the very last person to hear the truth.

If you were to pass away, where do you think you would go? Some believe they would be reborn based on the actions of their previous life. For others, they think they will go to heaven simply because they are good people. But let me tell you this: if you do not have Jesus in your heart, you will not spend eternity with Him in heaven. Today, Pastor Richard reminds you that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and that He is the only way to eternal salvation.

Sometimes, as we go through life, we can forget that even through hardships and struggles, there is joy to be had. Although this world can be cruel and you may feel all alone, you will never be forsaken by Jesus. In today's message, Pastor Richard encourages you to stay grounded in the teachings of Jesus and remember that He loves you so much. When you go through this life, never forget that you aren't alone; Jesus is always beside you.
