My Burden is Light

January 24, 2026

Jesus Christ tells us, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” We might wonder how can this be, considering the trials and tests of this life that the Bible says we must endure. Let’s spend some time today figuring out how to mesh these concepts together: That of an easy yoke with the challenges of walking the narro...

January 10, 2026

As we begin a new year, let’s talk about the main responsibility that keeps us moving forward—that spiritual commitment that we made at some point along our life’s journey.

Faith Beyond Circumstance

Orlando, Florida

January 3, 2026

Our circumstances are real, but they are not sovereign. This message explores how God works through all things, how our enemy seeks to shape our perception, and why faith — not reason alone — must guide our response. Through Scripture and illustration, we see that God redeems what is broken, transforms failure into testimony, and calls us to live Romans 8:28 as ...

Orlando, Florida
Given by Tim Rickard
December 13, 2025

Psalm 29:10 says, "The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, and the LORD sits as King forever." This passage lets us know that God wasn't absent the day the great deluge came upon the world of Noah, and He's not absent now. Sometimes we may wonder about that as we go through the "night seasons" in our...

Halloween: Does it Matter to God?

Orlando, Florida
Given by Tim Rickard
October 25, 2025

Does it matter to God whether we dabble in Halloween traditions and celebrations? Or any of the other holidays? According to John Stott, the prominent British theologian of the 20th century, we should ask ourselves three questions when trying to determine if something is true or untrue: What is its origin? What is its essence or emphasis? And what is...

Seven Things God Hates

Orlando, Florida
Given by Tim Rickard
August 23, 2025

Most of us have probably heard of the “seven deadly sins,” but even though these are sins we can find addressed throughout the Bible, nowhere are they called out as a specific collection of deadly sins. All sin is deadly, not just the so called seven deadly sins. However, the Bible does list seven things—seven sins if you will—that God hat...

Unseen Hand

Orlando, Florida
Given by Tim Rickard
July 19, 2025

Why does God allow evil and suffering? Many struggle to answer this question, and it's not wrong to ask the question. God's people in the Bible asked similar questions. But there's a difference between questioning God, and doubting God. During times of questions and even doubt, how can we pull back from the edge and ask God to help us...
