We need to feed the spirit rather than the flesh in order to change those habits. We can do that by applying Biblical truths, surrounding ourselves with wise counselors, and by investing in others. http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT120108.mp4 307EB096-763E-49C0-84A0-7FF5D515AF84 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:59:26 -0500 Leaving On A Jet Plane - Josh Isenhardt - January 8, 2012 Our sinful nature is the root cause of many habits and patterns we’d like to change. We need to feed the spirit rather than the flesh in order to change those habits. We can do that by applying Biblical truths, surrounding ourselves with wise counselors, and by investing in others. 52:22 Josh Isenhardt no no Real lasting change comes from belief, not agreement. Belief is having full confidence in something and it enables us to act on our conviction. When we truly put our full belief and confidence in Jesus, we will have an unwavering faith that will define our everyday lives. http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT120101.mp4 037C06FC-7298-47C8-8E47-E33A0EF8FBCB Thu, 5 Jan 2012 11:42:42 -0500 Don't Stop Believin' - Bill Holbrook - January 01, 2012 Real lasting change comes from belief, not agreement. Belief is having full confidence in something and it enables us to act on our conviction. When we truly put our full belief and confidence in Jesus, we will have an unwavering faith that will define our everyday lives. 52:22 Brad Powell no no Our world is full of insiders and outsiders. Christmas proves that you are invited into God’s family, though. God sees you, knows you and loves you and He has chosen you and has plans for you. But, we must accept God’s free invitation in order for our lives to change. http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT111224.mp4 A9923628-52E3-48DB-81AC-B24736B32EE3 Thu, 5 Jan 2012 11:32:15 -0500 Chill - ...You've Been Invited - Brad Powell - December 24, 2011 Our world is full of insiders and outsiders. Christmas proves that you are invited into God’s family, though. God sees you, knows you and loves you and He has chosen you and has plans for you. But, we must accept God’s free invitation in order for our lives to change. 52:22 Brad Powell no no All choices have consequences. When we leave God out of our lives, we are obligated to pick up our tab; however, we are unable to do so because we can’t achieve our own salvation by works. We need to turn to God and let Him pick up our tab. http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT111218.mp4 BB317C8E-6553-4211-93EB-C2956425DA1E Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:34:45 -0500 Chill - ...

It Can Be Fixed - Tim Elmore - December 11, 2011 God can fix our brokenness, but His fixes often require us to give up things that we don’t want to give up. 52:22 Tim Elmore no no We need to realize that any control we think we have is an illusion and that we shouldn’t be in control! The only thing that God has given us control over is ourselves! We can show God’s kingdom well when we keep our focus on God. http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT111204.mp4 82029EF2-5D4D-4C38-8B40-7250AF6F3C73 Tue, 6 Dec 2011 12:21:00 -0500 Chill - ...

We can show God’s kingdom well when we keep our focus on God. 52:22 Josh Isenhardt no no God cares for the poor, weak, and outcast in a special way and He wants us to be like Him. If we’re going to live a wonderful life then we have to care for and respond to the poor, hurting, and forgotten the way God does, with kindness and grace. http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT111127.mp4 8D9C7153-2EAB-4729-8608-32A95ACE37D2 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:57:02 -0500 NRC 12 - It's A Wonderful Life...

If we’re going to live a wonderful life then we have to care for and respond to the poor, hurting, and forgotten the way God does, with kindness and grace. 52:22 Brad Powell no no Financial bondage and freedom are both ultimately spiritual issues. In order to be financially free, we must see and manage money in view of eternity, work and expect God to provide, and learn how to spend with self-control. When we have financial freedom, we are free! http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT111120.mp4 3F4A7134-0509-46BD-B481-8C9B89E1969D Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:31:00 -0500 NRC 12 - Pursuit of Happyness...Live Free - November 20, 2011 Financial bondage and freedom are both ultimately spiritual issues.

Most importantly, you must remain close to God. 52:22 Brad Powell no no Many of us approach the selection of a spouse in a very frivolous way. But God designed the marriage relationship to be a life-long partnership that benefits both people. The Book of Proverbs has excellent advice about how to go about making this very important decision. http://www.ridgestream.com/video/mp4/MVT111016.mp4 5420A0EE-9428-4669-BB36-142D1391DAFA Sun, 16 Oct 2011 11:30:00 -0400 NRC 12 - Gone With The Wind...Choose The Right Mate - Brad Powell - October 16, 2011 Many of us approach the selection of a spouse in a very frivolous way. But God designed the marriage relationship to be a life-long partnership that benefits both people. The Book of Proverbs has excellent advice about how to go about making this very important decision. 52:22 Brad Powell no no The quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our friends. But, too often we let our life’s paths determine our friends.
