With the medical and technological advancements made in the last century, we are living longer and healthier lives compared to generations past! With that said, I haven’t met anyone who has lived 13 decades! But Pastor Ron is correct – wisdom should not be deferred to old age, but the sooner you can learn important life lessons, the better you'll be equipped to serve God. Jacob was humbled before the Lord, and we ought to live in that humility as well. Remember that Christ is our rock and our

If you’ve ever experienced a season of suffering where you truly see no end in sight, think back to the story of Joseph. He was betrayed by his family, sold into slavery, falsely accused and imprisoned, and forgotten about by many. But God never forgot about Joseph, and in fact, worked through all of these terrible things to build Joseph up so he could lead in a time of crisis. In today’s message, Pastor Ron will walk through Joseph’s suffering and help show us that there is purpose behind the

Some would argue that “people never change.” The pessimist in me wants to agree at times, but the Holy Spirit in me pushes back, and my own life being turned around by Jesus is evidence against that! We see further evidence here when Judah is shown as a changed man. He went from betraying one of his younger brothers and not caring for his father to offering himself as collateral so that his brother and father would be spared! Listen today as Pastor Ron reviews how God changes hearts.

Real forgiveness is difficult. Oftentimes, we may simply try to “brush off” the hurt or ignore the pain, hoping it will dull with time. We ought to remember that bitterness is a seed deeply sown and hard to dig out, and if left unaddressed, can cause corruption and pain for both the offender and the offended. In today’s message, Pastor Ron teaches the importance of forgiveness and how it allows for true reconciliation and the restoration of family relationships, even after severe betrayal.

I think music is my favorite medium to express emotions and sort through my thoughts. “These things take time” is a 2010 song from Sanctus Real that perfectly encapsulates the feelings surrounding this topic. I’m sure Joseph was wondering when God was going to remove his suffering, but as Pastor Ron will talk about in today’s message, it’s not our job to know. Our duty is to endure patiently and praise God even in the midst of hardship, being comforted by the reality that God rewards obedience to

Finely crafted jewelry is beautiful to behold. You would never know by looking at it all the intense heat, pressure, and shaping that it endured through its formation. Similarly, God works through each of our lives to shape us through the heated moments and high-pressure that we encounter in life. In today’s message, Pastor Ron brings to life the idea of the process of being formed, namely through the example of Joseph. As he teaches, consider how God might be forming you in this season of

Lust is such a dangerous sin. All sin is dangerous, but this one, especially, sets its grip on a person and overrides their God-given conscience. For men, it seems to be especially challenging. But the good news is that it can be overcome. You may not ever be flawless in this life, but God has given you tools to help. As Pastor Ron will point out in today’s message, you can overcome with the intervention of the Holy Spirit, along with practical measures such as accountability.

Did God want Jacob to lie to his father and trick him into giving him his brother’s birthright? God does not want anyone to sin against Him or anyone else. He desires righteousness. But He is a God of redemption as much as He’s a God of justice. He had a plan for Jacob, and He could have carried it out without Jacob’s deception. As Pastor Ron will point out in today’s message, despite Jacob’s brokenness, God brought about His perfect will for him, though he still suffered the consequences of his

Do you ever feel like you’re just singing the same old song? We often get stuck in routines, and life can feel like a broken record. God wants to work in your life right now. He didn’t stop when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior – the work continues. As Pastor Ron will challenge us in today’s message, in response to that new work, we’re called to sing a new song of praise to God. This doesn’t always have to be musical, either. You can find new ways to honor God with any gift or

That’s something that’s sorely missing in our world, isn’t it? Read the books, watch the shows and movies, and look at the families in your community. Fathers are not living out their God ordained calling. In many cases, they never had godly fatherhood demonstrated to them, and they’re continuing a cycle of absence or abuse that’ll likely be passed on to their own children. Today, Pastor Ron will challenge us to step up and live out the Gospel as we lead our families.

Our God is a loving Father and a benevolent, all-knowing Creator. Everything that is in this world, and every element of our lives, is held together by Him. Yet, we want so badly to be the ones in control. As Pastor Ron will point out in the example of Jacob, God often allows hard circumstances as an opportunity for us to grow. It can feel like we’ve been left on our own, but the trial offers us a chance to open our eyes and see the way God is there, carrying us through.

Do you ever hear stories like Jacob’s in Genesis and just think, “Come on, already… hasn’t he had enough?” The same thought may come with numerous figures in the Bible; Job is a great example. But God never allows us to suffer more than we can handle with His help. As Pastor Ron will point out in today’s message, as much as we may want the testing or trial to end, God can and will bring good out of the worst situation for those who trust in Him and follow His ways.

All of us have faced moments like that in life, and we’re bound to face more. This broken world brings pain and suffering, and that only increases as you follow Jesus directly against the flow of culture. As Pastor Ron will challenge us in today’s message, these moments of struggle bring an opportunity for faith. We can choose to praise God in those moments, like the Psalmist, and wait in faith for Him to fulfill His promises, or we can grow bitter and inpatient, questioning God’s goodness in our

For dads, there are high expectations of any guy who comes along and wants to date their daughter. As a father, you see the best in her, and you want the best for her. Anything less won’t cut it.
