This is so crazy! I searched so many places for help to improve my life. Feel love despite my failures. Ways to transform my life. Raised in a church and i stopped going. It wasnt until i was so distraught . With a moment of clarity. That i realized that was searching in all the wrong places. Once i decided to truly replace all my time in the wrong things with truly working on understanding believing and pursuing god. But.. this is not a single drop fix. It is a slow loving process. That i have a hard time receiving. Not all the time. It is hard for me to conceive and grasp. I am so humbled over and over. I pray anyone out there that finds these sermons , dont stop listening and working on receving gods love
"When you disobey God shame enters. And when you have shame you easily embarass. And you try to avoid almost anything in life to feel embarrassment. And shame makes me feel self-conscious."

I pray for you Rick, your staff and for all others who take part in getting God's love word to this lost world. Thank You Jesus for the Light!!!
One thing, that word "desire" is the same word used in Gen 4 in the fall of cain. If you do well [believing Me and doing what is acceptable and pleasing to Me], will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well [but ignore My instruction], sin crouches at your door; its desire is for you [to overpower you], but you must master it.” Genesis 4:7 AMP It's not a "loving" desire as Rick says, it's a desire to have authority over. To over power.
I have a question happen in my life. My wife alway blamed me for a long time with out any reason, but I patiently waited & tried to help & do what she wanted. I am honest responsible for my family & love her. I did good things to her even for her parents. But she always complain & I keep doing & telling her the right thing as Gods way. Lastly she blamed me that I didn’t even think in my life that I assault sexually to my beloved daughter. How can I forgive her & how can I reconcile. I know now she don’t want me for a long time but I didn’t know she created evil in her mind to this point. Thank you I like your preaching. Blessings 🙏🏻

Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time,
