Grace For All - New Year, New You, Part 2
Normal isn't the word you use to describe a Christian’s life. Oftentimes it's anything but that. But no matter what, it's always the best life - a life with the Holy Spirit giving you strength when you're weak or exhausted, hope when you're lost, peace when you're anxious, and the power to do whatever it is that God calls you to do.

Is that what they see when they see you? Pastor Ricky is going to encourage fellowship with other believers and to mutually build each other up in your walks with Christ.

Grace For All - Stop Vandalizing Art, Part 1
In so many ways Jesus was the perfect example of what a Christian’s life should look like.

Even though He's all-powerful and has no limits, He exercised strength and authority when needed but also temperance and gentleness when needed. As followers of Jesus, that's what our life should look like.

Grace For All - A Stranger to Everything and a Castaway, Part 2
We've probably all heard that story about the ugly duckling, that poor little bird that couldn't walk like a duck, swim like a duck or quack like a duck. He knew that he was different from the other ducks but what he didn't know was that he wasn't a duck at all. He was a swan. In today's message, Pastor Ricky reminds you that you'll never find true identity in anything from this world. You might try to walk, quack, and swim like a duck but no matter where you think you fit in, the only place that you can be truly fulfilled is in Christ.

The world is not right. We have divisions of ethnicity, race, class, economic status, and all kinds of other things. This isn't the way that it's supposed to be. We're not supposed to be at odds with each other over who's better and who's not. We were never meant to live that way. In today's message, Pastor Ricky teaches how we got this way and where restoration can be found. The problem isn't new. It's actually been around since the very first humans, Adam and Eve, but how can things be put back right?
Grace For All - Main Character Energy, Part 2
Have you ever heard of FOMO? It's an acronym that stands for Fear Of Missing Out. How many of us have this fear of missing out so much that it causes us to be control freaks? We go around in life taking control of everything because we're afraid of what we might miss out on. Well in today's message, Pastor Ricky teaches that you need to let go of that fear and trust that God has the perfect place for you in His plan. It might not be what you've expected but do you really want to miss out on what God has for your life?
