    "BE BETTER" (Part VI)

    This sermon explores the critical distinction between living in expectation versus living in anticipation. Pastor Ricks teaches that while expectation focuses on specific outcomes and timelines (often leading to disappointment and anxiety when things don't happen as predicted), anticipation is rooted in relationship with God and trust in His character rather than His acts. Using Noah as the primary example, the message emphasizes that anticipation breeds preparation and moves on God's word alone, without visible evidence. The sermon challenges believers to shift from an outcome-oriented faith to a trust-oriented faith that remains unmoved by present circumstances because it is anchored in God's revealed future. This shift requires intimacy with God rather than a transactional relationship, transforming our character, perspective, and how we view the future. Pastor Ricks emphasizes that being better is about relationship alignment with the Father, and that alignment equals connection, which equals obedience.

    "BE BETTER" (Part III)

    This sermon distinguishes between living in expectation versus anticipation, emphasizing that better living begins with alignment to God's revealed will rather than self-improvement or personal motivation. Pastor Ricks teaches that expectation is outcome-focused, tied to past experiences and assumptions, leading to disappointment when results don't match our predictions. In contrast, anticipation is rooted in divine revelation and trust in God's character, preparing us to move forward based on what God has shown us spiritually rather than what we've seen naturally. The message emphasizes that we cannot live in both expectation and anticipation simultaneously, as they are powered by different sources—expectation lives in the mind while anticipation lives in the spirit. True transformation comes through prophetic vision (hazon) and divine insight, enabling believers to align with God's purposes and live with joy and peace regardless of circumstances.

    BE BETTER (Part II)

    This sermon explores the critical difference between living in expectation versus anticipation as believers pursue God's will for their lives. The core message emphasizes that being better is not about self-improvement but about alignment with God's revealed will, purposes, and plan. Without divine revelation and prophetic insight, people drift into chaos and lose moral restraint. Pastor Ricks distinguishes between expectation—which assumes outcomes and waits passively—and anticipation—which prepares actively based on divine revelation. True transformation comes through receiving God's direction and responding with preparation and obedience. This week's sermon challenges believers to move beyond hoping things will happen to actively preparing for what God has revealed, emphasizing that Christ died not just to save souls but to end self-government, calling believers to live for Him rather than themselves.

    BE BETTER

    This sermon emphasizes the transformative nature of salvation, teaching that believers are not merely improved versions of their former selves but entirely new creations in Christ. The message addresses the critical importance of understanding one's new identity in Christ and how this identity determines authority, direction, and transformation. Pastor Ricks explains that while believers receive a new nature instantly at salvation, the mind must be intentionally renewed to align with this new reality. Many believers struggle because they continue operating from old mindsets, behaviors, and schemas (learned patterns) that belonged to their former life. The sermon stresses that the old self was crucified with Christ, not rehabilitated, and believers must actively renew their minds to live out their new identity. True transformation requires moving beyond religious activity to embrace the ontological change that occurred at salvation—a fundamental alteration of one's very being and nature.
