Sermons by Noah Richards (Page 8)

Philippians gives us the four-part plan for inner peace – just in time for the holidays: Worry about nothing. Pray about everything. Thank God for all things. Focus on good things.

Whether or not we admit it, you and I are in a death-match with sin. So as we work to muster the courage to master our enemy, remember, it’s kill or be killed!

Little moments of profound heartbreak happen unintentionally every day in the lives of every person that openly loves anything. Why do we break down when we’re supposed to build up?

This life was deliberately designed to challenge and change our hearts and minds. It’s where we see the symptoms (of sin in our lives) that compel us to find a cure.

The moth, the rust, and the thief: altogether they demonstrate the full foolishness of making material possessions the meaning of our lives.

When we risk our talents for God’s kingdom, we can’t lose! In fact, the only way we can lose, is to hide our talents or bury them in earthly pursuits.

An actual encounter with God’s truth will shake your position and power, your perspective and perception, and your priorities and plans!

If we want an untainted truth, we gotta go beyond our biased brains.

Truth presents the threat of change. And truth is only seen as a threat when it jeopardizes something we love, like comfort or control.
