In this practical and thought-provoking teaching, Rich Robson examines one of the most persistent temptations of the human heart—the desire for more. Beginning with Jesus’ warning in Luke 12 and the parable of the rich fool, Rich demonstrates that true abundance is not found in wealth, possessions, status, or security, but in a relationship with God. Through biblical examples such …
Has Christ Been Formed In Me?
In Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he wrote with deep concern over how these followers of Christ were departing from the gospel of the grace of Christ and returning to legalism—a works-based approach to righteousness before God. Righteous works are good. The question is whether those works flow from a transformed, spirit-led relationship with Jesus Christ or from merely following …
Faith Under Fire
Marc Dickie shares a teaching focused on faithfulness, using the example of King Hezekiah of Judah during a dire military threat from Assyria. Drawing from Isaiah 36–37, Marc described how Hezekiah and his officials responded to the taunts of the Assyrian commander, Rabshakeh, by turning to prayer and consulting the prophet Isaiah. The study concluded with the narrative of divine …
What Are You Thinking?
A few days ago, I received an unexpected phone call from someone I had not spoken with in more than three years. At one time, we served together in ministry. Circumstances eventually led us down very different paths, and the relationship ended with hurt, disappointment, and unresolved tension. Since then, there had been no communication between us. When my phone …
Absorbing The Cost
Rich Robson shared from Matthew 18, focusing on the parable of a king who forgave an unpayable debt owed by one of his servants. He explained how the king “absorbed the cost” of the debt, drawing a parallel to how Jesus Christ absorbed the cost of humanity’s sins through his death on the cross. Rich referenced John 3:16 and 1 …
God Speaks Well of You
There are moments in Scripture when God intentionally slows us down and invites us to look deeper. Ephesians 1:3 is one of those moments. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3) In this single verse, the word “blessed” appears three different …
A Prize Worth Pursuing: Knowing Jesus
Last night at our Wednesday prayer meeting and Bible study, one of the ladies spoke up after we had just read these words of Jesus: “For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.” (Mark 9:41) This sweet, elderly lady (who had just …
Act Like It Matters
If what we believe is true, it should show up in how we live. Not in theory or intention, but in action. It is easy to say something matters. It is much harder to live like it does. Most of us would say our faith matters, that God matters, and that what Jesus accomplished matters. Yet when I step back …
Are You Missing Jesus?
How often have I wished that Jesus were here with me—in the flesh—especially when life feels overwhelming and the challenges seem too great to carry alone. In those moments, it feels like nothing would be better than having him right beside me. Yet at the Last Supper, Jesus said something that cuts directly across that mindset: “Nevertheless, I tell you …
Feeding on the Word Daily
You’ve probably heard the saying that if you repeat a lie often enough, it eventually begins to sound like the truth. But what happens when the truth is repeated again and again? What effect does that have on those who hear it consistently? To answer that, we need look no further than God’s Word, the Bible. In John 17:17, Jesus …
