Faith Methodist Church RichmondTry Faith Again-Pastor RaMona RiggsIn the concluding sermon of our "Try Faith" series, Pastor RaMona examines Hebrews 11:1, reframing faith as trusting in what we hope for and cannot see. She acknowledges that everyone—even the most faithful—experiences seasons of doubt, fear, or rebellion. Through three powerful Biblical examples, she illustrates this universal struggle: Manasseh who rebelled against God after his father's death (2 Chronicles 33:3-6), Peter who denied Jesus three times out of fear (Matthew 16:17-20), and the Prodigal Son who walked away from his father's house (Luke 15:17-24).The heart of Pastor RaMona's message is that God's redemptive love remains constant despite our...

Cabernet and PrayReviving the Golden Rule (with Andrew DeCort) | Ep. 53In this episode, we dig into why the most famous command in Christianity has become more of a coffee mug slogan than an actual way of life. We’ll explore how we’ve domesticated Jesus’ radical ethic into something polite and toothless… and what it would take to bring its wild, world-flipping power back. We’ll look at what happens when faith stops being about certainty and starts being about curiosity. Pour a glass, pull up a chair, and let’s talk about how to actually live the thing Jesus said was the point all along.
