Sunday, November 20, 2022 Gratitude: Four Things for which I’m Grateful

Gratitude: Four Things for which I’m Grateful
We often say that God is good, but I want you to think about the difference between saying God is good and saying Rick is good.  Here is the truth, Rick may have the appearance of good about his life in brief moments, but the truth about Rick’s life is that he is just like you, he is broken and the nature of his life is toward sin.  
To say God is simply good, is to put Him in the category with all the other things we describe as good.  What is different between all that we know and God is that the character of God is always good.  There is no evil in Him.  The essence of His being is always good, it is good that is pure. 

Sunday, November 13, 2022 - Gratitude: Thanks for “Nothing”

I’m learning to say, “Lord, if you don’t want me to have it, then I don’t want it.” “If it ain’t going to make me more like you, then God keep it away.” And the more I say these things, the more content and trusting of the Lord’s “no’s” and “nothings” I become. You see, God’s plan for us is to live a life full of joy, and yet we can’t be happy with what we have until we’re thankful for what we don’t have. PRAY.

Sunday, November 6, 2022 - Gratitude When Life Hurts

Sunday, November 6, 2022 - Gratitude When Life Hurts
 
How is it possible to give thanks when life hurts?
· It is not mature gratitude to thank God for what He has given you—that’s just good manners. 
· We walk in darkness depending on the light God showed us in the last season of light. 
 
Gratitude is about thanking God for His presence.
· Maturity is loving the presence of God more than the provision of God. 
· The test of maturity is when we lose provision.
 
Gratitude makes me realize I still have something to learn—Job 42:5
· I learn something about me.
· I learn something about others.
· I learn something about God.

What’s Up @theroad.tv - November 1, 2022

What's Up @theroad.tv? Join us for a quick talk about some things going on this week!

Sunday, October 30, 2022 - Raised To Life

Today we are going to be talking about one of the issues that separates so many people of faith, the issue of baptism.  There are some who believe that you baptize by sprinkling, some pour, others by dunking, some by both.  There are some who believe that babies should be baptized, others believe that only adults should be baptized.  Still others believe that if you have never been baptized you will not make to heaven.  Take a listen with Pastor Rick as he breaks down some truths.

Sunday, October 23, 2022 - Oops! I didn’t train my kids to make Jesus their priority

I love that we are in this series entitled Oops. Our marriage and parenting stuff that we do here is so great. When pastor was thinking through this series, I began to selfishly think of things I wanted to hear our pastor preach on to help me in my parenting. I’m sad I was out for week 1, but last week was amazing. Today I’m finishing up this series for us and we’re going to talk about commitment to our faith.
Let me ask you all some questions: how many of you have children? How many of you have little children? How many of you have children that are outside the house (empty-nester)? How many of you want children some day?
Great. Now let me ask you this question: how many of you want or would want your kids to have a better relationship with Jesus than you have? How many of you would want your kids to be more committed to our faith than you are? Me too. That should be all of our answers.
Today we’re going to talk about the #1 way you can help your child have the best possible relationship with Jesus.

Sunday, October 16, 2022 - Oops! How To Ruin Your Child’s Life Without Knowing It! PART II

We are in a series called Oops!—how to ruin your child’s life without knowing it.  We have been looking at some mistakes we all make when it comes to parenting that sometimes we are not even aware that we are making.  Last week we looked at the topic of taking the past of least resistance as a parent and the dangers of making that decision. 
Today we are going to be talking about responsibility in the life of a child and the mistake we often make as parents is making our child’s life easy.

Sunday, October 9, 2022 - Oops! How To Ruin Your Child’s Life Without Knowing It!

So we are starting our annual parenting series today. We are looking at mistakes we make without knowing it as parents that in the long run make life difficult for our children. Often we make those decisions in an attempt to make our life easier. There will be three major principles that we are going to address and practical, biblical points that support those principles. This week we are dealing with the mistake of taking the path of least resistance, next week is the mistake of making my child’s life too easy, and finally the mistake of not following Jesus Seriously. 

Sunday, October 2, 2022 - BRP: Introduction to Revelation

If you have been with us all year and you finish this quarter you will have read the entire NT through in a year.   If not, you probably read more Bible and grew more spiritually than you have at any point in your life.  If you haven’t started or are just starting—jump on board. 

In It To Win It: The Naked Truth

The wisest man who ever lived was a guy named Solomon.  In 1 Kings 3 God gave Solomon the chance to ask for whatever he wanted—-great moment.   Solomon asked for wisdom to guide God’s people.  Because he did not ask for riches, victory or long life—God gave him wisdom and all those things.   Did you know that during the reign of Solomon silver and gold because as common place as stones.  (2 Chron 1:15)
 
Today as we talk about sex I want us to go to God’s book and the wisest man who ever lived said about God’s gift of sex to married couples.
