Pastor Rick's Daily Hope

Everything is by God's grace. We wouldn't even have our own lives if it weren't for God's grace! In this message by Pastor Rick, you'll discover the three things Jesus accomplished when he died on the cross, and why it still matters today.

When you became a follower of Jesus, you were born again into God's family, and you cannot be unborn. Your sin may break your fellowship with God, but your relationship with him will still be there. You're just one step away from returning to him. In this message, Pastor Rick walks through what you should do when you sin so you can be restored to God.

There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus—but there are still consequences for when we reject God's will and go our own way. Pastor Rick shares in this message why, even when there are many things we lose when we sin, we can never lose our salvation and how God's refusal to reject us points to his restoring grace.

God created you to be you. In fact, his mercy allows you to be authentic. Join Pastor Rick as he dispels the myth that, for God to use you, you have to be somebody different from who you are.
