Pastor Rick's Daily Hope

Join Pastor Rick as he explains how to change the way you think by relying on the power and direction of the Holy Spirit.

When you feel inadequate, it reveals your doubt in God's power. God said that his power shows up best in your weakness. So if you think your sin will make you inadequate to serve God, you're not thinking like God. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches how God views sin and grace in your life.

God wants you to center your life on him, but unfortunately, sin puts the focus back on you. When you sin, it reveals an area in your life where you don't trust God. Willpower will never be enough to break the power of sin in your life. Learn to think with the mind of Christ and watch what amazing fruit God will provide in your life.

Does it seem like the thoughts you don't want to think are what you can't stop thinking about? How do you focus your mind on the things that lead to the freedom only found in Christ? Join Pastor Rick as he teaches the biblical way to manage your thoughts.

To have the mind of Christ means you want to do God's will, even when it's painful, even when it's difficult, and even when it seems impossible. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches how Jesus gave us the ultimate example of this the night before he went to the cross.

When you have the mind of Christ, you will be so secure in your identity, your purpose, and God's presence in your life that you won't need to look to other people for approval.

Jesus was always aware of God's presence because he knew who he was and he knew his purpose. That means, when you learn to think like Jesus, you'll become sensitive to the truth that God is always present in your life. You'll know your purpose in life, and you'll see how God is supporting you to succeed in your mission.

Join Pastor Rick as he continues to explain how knowing and applying biblical truth leads us to the life God wants us to live.

God's truth always leads to life. That's why the Bible teaches us to take every thought captive, so we can live the way God wants us to live.

Anytime you sin, you're believing the lie that you'll be better off going against God's will. That is never true! Learn why the Bible says it's important to think about what you think about.
