You Are Called to Become, Part 3

In this broadcast, Pastor Rick explains how your spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit. “There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord” (1 Corinthians 12:5).

You Are Called to Become, Part 2

You Are Called to Become, Part 1

Today we’re obsessed with speed, but God is more interested in strength and stability than swiftness. Real maturity is never the result of a single experience, no matter how powerful or moving. Join Pastor Rick as he walks through the ways to gradually develop the habits of Christ-like character.

You Are Called to Belong, Part 3

Jesus isn’t ashamed to call you his brother or sister, no matter how messed up your life is, because you belong to God’s family. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick teaches that, as a member of the family of God, your sin doesn’t define you anymore and why that truth brings freedom to your life.

You Are Called to Belong, Part 2

You were created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and no one can fulfill God’s purposes by himself or herself. Pastor Rick shares in this message why we need to recover and practice the biblical meaning of membership.

You Are Called to Belong, Part 1

Today’s culture of independent individualism has created many spiritual orphans — “bunny believers” who hop around from one church to another without any identity, accountability, or commitment. In this message, Pastor Rick explains why being part of a community of believers is so important to your spiritual walk.

Called to Be Loved, Part 3

In this message, Pastor Rick explains just how much God loves you and why the spiritually lost are worth God’s rescue mission. People are only lost if they’re worth finding! Think of it this way: The value of a masterpiece doesn’t go down when it’s lost; it goes up.

Called to Be Loved, Part 2

The Bible says, “We love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19 NIV). When you say, “I don’t love God,” it’s because you don’t understand just how much he really loves you. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick teaches why you have to begin with God’s nature to be able to understand your life’s purpose and calling.

God not only knows where you are; he knows who you are. He knows what you’re going through, why you’re going through it, and how you feel about it. He knows you better than you know yourself!
