It was a wonderful day at the Bill Rice Ranch! Our teens had a full day of preaching, games, music competitions, and a lot of fun!

Please continue to pray for our young people. Pray for safety as they play the games. But most importantly, pray for tender hearts during the preaching.

Title: Sunday 05/31/2026 Evening
Speaker: Dr. David Pittman
Date: May 31, 2026
Bible: 1 Timothy 6

The sermon centers on the danger of equating material gain with godliness, warning against the spiritual pride and divisive disputes that arise from prioritizing wealth and worldly ambitions over faith and contentment. Drawing from 1 Timothy 6, it emphasizes that true godliness is found not in accumulation but in contentment with basic needs—food and clothing—while trusting God to provide all that is necessary. The preacher underscores the importance of prioritizing God’s kingdom above all, illustrating this through biblical examples like Job and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, where seeking God first ensures provision without anxiety. The message calls believers to reject envy, strife, and evil surmising, instead cultivating a mindset of trust, humility, and spiritual discernment, rooted in the conviction that earthly possessions are temporary and that lasting fulfillment comes only through a life surrendered to God’s will. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/67262052456706

Speaker: Dr. David Pittman

Bible: Isaiah 57; Psalm 55

This sermon presents a compelling, biblically grounded call to cultivate a vibrant, personal relationship with God through prayer, emphasizing that prayer is not a ritual but a heartfelt conversation with the Lord. Centered on Psalm 55 and reinforced by passages like Isaiah 57 and Psalm 51, it unfolds five essential truths: prayer is simply talking to God; it must be rooted in humility and contrition; it should be practiced consistently throughout the day—morning, noon, and evening; it should focus on salvation and the restoration of fellowship with God; and it should be accompanied by faith, expecting God's faithful response. The preacher underscores that while God is sovereign and does not need us, He delights in communion with those who draw near in sincerity, using personal stories and biblical examples to illustrate how persistent, humble prayer overcomes spiritual distance and brings divine peace and power. Ultimately, the message is both convicting and comforting: every believer, regardless of past failure or present burden, can approach God with confidence, knowing He hears, forgives, and answers those who come with a broken and humble heart.

Speaker: Dr. David Pittman

Bible: 2 Timothy 2:20-22

The sermon centers on the biblical call to be a 'vessel unto honor' for God, drawing from 2 Timothy 2:20–22, where believers are urged to purify themselves from ungodliness, shun worldly distractions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. It emphasizes that true preparation for divine service begins with diligent study of Scripture, rightly dividing the Word of truth, and cultivating a heart cleansed through sanctification and personal repentance. The preacher underscores that every believer, regardless of role or background, is called to be a faithful servant—equipped to teach, pray, and serve with wisdom, humility, and love, drawing from both personal experience and divine insight. Ultimately, the goal is not self-achievement but a life marked by faithful obedience, leading to soul-deep satisfaction at Christ's return, when each believer will stand before Him without shame, knowing they have been approved and used for His glory. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/6726205671904

Title: Wednesday 06/03/2026
Speaker: Branden Lawrence

Bible: Galatians 6:16

The sermon, drawn from Galatians 6:1–6, presents a compelling portrait of spiritual maturity through four defining marks: restoring the fallen with meekness and humility, bearing one another's burdens through strength and sacrificial love, resisting the temptations of pride and comparison, and expressing gratitude to those who have taught and nurtured us. Rooted in the example of Christ, who bore the sins of the world with grace and selflessness, the message calls believers to grow beyond self-centeredness into a life marked by controlled spirit, careful discernment, and genuine service. The tone is both pastoral and convicting, urging listeners to examine their hearts not for perfection, but for progress in Christlikeness, emphasizing that true spiritual maturity is not self-assertion but dependence on God's grace and a willingness to serve others with humility and sacrifice. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/67262054368094
