Throughout Scripture, God calls people to Himself and gives them purpose. Abraham, Moses, David, and the apostles were all called. But was that kind of calling limited to a select few in biblical history? Not at all. Believers today are called as well. We are called out of darkness and into God’s light, called into fellowship with His Son, and …
When Your Way Isn’t God’s Way
What happens when the solution that makes perfect sense to us is not the direction God would have us take? In this encouraging teaching, Rich Robson shows that true humility means trusting God above our own understanding, casting our cares upon Him, and being willing to follow His wisdom even when His way looks very different from ours. Through powerful …
Hello, God
God is always present, faithful, and ready to help—but how often do we consciously acknowledge Him? This teaching by Rich Robson encourages believers to develop the simple yet life-changing habit of saying, “Hello, God,” throughout the day. Whether life is going wonderfully or everything seems to be falling apart, we can continually speak with our heavenly Father, thank Him, seek …
Have We Neglected the Gospels
This teaching examines the vital place the Gospel accounts should have in the lives of Christians today. While recognizing legitimate distinctions between biblical administrations and the importance of understanding to whom a passage was originally addressed, it challenges the tendency to let those distinctions diminish the value of the Gospels or the Hebrew Scriptures. All Scripture contributes to the larger …
Chosen by God: Holy and Without Blame
Before the foundation of the world, God had a purpose in mind for those who would one day be in Christ: that we should be “holy and without blame before Him in love” (Ephesians 1:4). In this encouraging teaching by Frank Garcia, we examine what it means to be holy, set apart unto God, and blameless, free from guilt and …
Who Decides What Is True?
Imagine that someone you care about calls you after a painful disagreement. They explain what happened, what was said, and why they were hurt. Their account seems reasonable, and by the end of the conversation, you feel certain that you understand the situation. Later, you speak with the other person, and the story sounds entirely different. The facts are the …
Maturing in Christ
Every so often, I have to stop and ask myself a hard question: Am I really maturing in Christ? It is easy to assume that I am. I can point to how long I have believed, how much Scripture I know, or how many responsibilities I carry. But maturity is usually revealed in moments that are far less impressive: when …
The Word That Gives Us Life
In this teaching, Rich Robson opens Psalm 119:89–96 to show the beauty, precision, and enduring power of God’s Word. He explains how Hebrew poetry joins corresponding thoughts together, allowing one expression to reinforce, expand, or contrast another. God’s Word is forever settled in heaven, His faithfulness continues through every generation, and all creation remains subject to His ordinances. These carefully …
The Love Behind the Ten Commandments
Perhaps no portion of the Bible is more widely recognized than the Ten Commandments. People throughout the world are familiar with them, yet they are often misunderstood. Many see them primarily as stern demands that must be obeyed to avoid God’s judgment. Others regard them as merely “Old Testament law,” applicable only to the people of Israel before the Messiah …
Pride: Why God Opposes the Proud
Few statements in Scripture are more sobering than the words, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). Pride was the first sin committed against God, which makes it especially important to recognize for what it is: a direct challenge to His authority. Most Christians understand that pride is wrong, but James says far more than …
