Rethinking Your Life Complete Audio Series

You can only grow in any area of life by examining what's going on in your mind. Start thinking about what you're thinking about so your thoughts can lead to healthy, purposeful action.

When you get the mind of Christ and you begin to think the way Jesus does — about your past, your present, your future, God, life, death, sin, salvation, your friends, your future, your confidence — you realize there's more to life than just here and now, and that gives you the strength to endure.

Have you ever felt like a hostage to your thoughts? You just can't get something out of your mind, and then you find yourself doing things you don't want to do. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches how changing the way you think is key to managing what's on your mind.

Changing the way you think and turning away from sin means you're trusting God is looking out for your best interests. The Bible refers to this changing of your mind as repentance. In this message, Pastor Rick explains how you can begin to think more like Christ as you rely on the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth found in God's Word.

You can't defeat temptation if you don't understand how it works. The thing is, Satan uses the same temptations that he's always used for thousands of years. And so, the key is not resisting your temptations but knowing how to respond to Satan's predictable patterns.

If you think the same thing over and over, you're not going to have any changes in your life. For instance, you know God loves you, but do your thoughts keep telling you that isn't true? When that happens, it's easy to become discouraged. In this message, Pastor Rick explains how experiencing God's grace and mercy can defeat discouragement.

When anything painful happens to you, you have a choice: You can run to God, or you can run from God. If you're running away from God, what are you running to? Who could help you more in your pain than God?

When you've suffered from a trauma in your life, you need to remember that one day, God will judge everyone justly. Evil will not get away with it forever. There is a day of reckoning coming soon.
