God answered the prayer of Zechariah and Elizabeth to have a baby when it would be within His perfect timing and plan for that baby to precede and make the way for His own Son. Our prayers may seem repetitive and it may seem like God doesn’t care, but His answer will come in His perfect timing and we must wait and trust Him.

When we are disconnected from God, spiritual life is not getting to us and we are apt for attack. It is crucial in the Christian life to remain in the Word and in fellowship with other believers so that our hearts do not turn away from the Lord.

When Jesus changes our lives, the growth that happens in us should be changing the way we live and function as His workmanship. Everywhere we go, there should be a noticeable difference between us and the rest of the world that is in darkness. Jesus made us to be light in the dark and to bring taste to a tasteless world.

God used John the Baptist solely for the purpose of preparing people for Christ’s coming. When we are obedient to God it is not 15 minutes of fame that we are seeking for ourselves but rather looking for ways to direct others’ attention to Him.

We live in a world where bad things happen and it is hard to wrap our brains around how God can be good and allow the immense suffering we face. Jesus faced death on the cross because of God’s plan to save us and He had faith in God’s heart instead of getting mad at his circumstances. The God who loved us enough to send His Son to die will never let us go through suffering needlessly, but we must trust that He has a plan.

The greatest way to find out where our heart is truly devoted is to look at our finances and see where they go. God promises to take care of us in all of our needs, but we have to trust Him and let Him be the Lord over our whole lives, including the way we use our money.

We often look to everything else, including food, to fill us in a way that turns into sin. We overindulge out of our need to fill the emptiness inside of us, but Jesus is the only one who can truly fill us. When Jesus fills our lives, change starts happening from the inside out and it effects the world around us.

We all tend to point our fingers at other people and judge their sin when we hide a sin that no one likes to talk about because it makes us uncomfortable. Gluttony is talked about specifically in the Bible as a sin, but we do not think of this when we sit down at a table full of food. We need to stop judging others and go to someone we trust in our life to help us clean out our cupboards from the temptation of pigging out.

We enjoy having great meals at special occasions. Usually there’s foods, desserts, side dishes that are reserved only for these special days. We savor them, look forward to them. How much more can we look forward to dining on a spiritual diet of all the ‘fixins’ everyday by doing what God says in His Word and not just hearing it on occasion. He invites us all to His table.

God can use obscure things in our lives to get our attention just like He did with Balaam and his donkey. When we’re so focused on getting that thing out of our lives we cannot see how it is protecting us. We must ask God to show us what it is that we’re ignoring that He is trying to use to get our attention.

The Bible emphasizes key concepts for the Church to hold fast to in order for it to maintain good health and continued growth. Those concepts include discipleship, servant leadership, worship, community, and evangelism. Our purpose is to glorify God by spreading the Gospel and increasing His Church.

About Richard Ellis

Authentic... Genuine... Sincere... This guy is the real deal. He loves God. He loves his wife Rebecca and his 3 daughters. He loves people. He loves his job. He loves Texas BBQ. He loves an occasional round of golf. And he loves the Dallas Cowboys (but don’t hold that against him!).

Richard grew up as a missionary kid in Brazil, coming back to the states to finish his education. He graduated from Baylor University in 1982 with a BA in Oral Communications, and earned his MDIV in 1985 from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, making him the sixth generation of pastors in his family. His early days of ministry included serving for three years as the Single Adults Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Dallas.

Then in 1997, Richard Ellis founded Reunion Church, a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, non-denominational church in the heart of Dallas,Texas. Dallas needed a church like it. And it would need a pastor like Richard. So Reunion Church was born. And now the radio show and the website (www.RichardEllisTalks.com) join the Reunion Church community under the leadership of this guy. And we’re all the better for it!
