- Homemade Gods (37:08)
The only lasting cure for idolatry is a fervent love for God. The hardest step is seeing our idols in the first place.
- Empty on the Inside (38:18)
If you don’t know God, it’s not God’s fault. God has already done everything necessary for you to have a relationship with him. - He Doesn’t Need Your Help (35:53)
The gospel begins with God. It doesn’t begin with Jesus or with us. The divine plan of salvation begins with the God who designed it.

John Stott Dies at 90
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, July 30, 2011
John Stott, the greatly-loved British pastor, author and evangelical leader, died earlier this week at the age of 90. In reading some of the tributes published about him, I was struck by the repeated references to his humility, a character trait that seems in short supply today. Through his more than 50 books and hundreds of sermons, and through hi...
Q and A video – Should Christians Be Involved in Politics?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, August 30, 2010
The last election was mean-spirited and it was hard to discern between truth and lies. Should Christians separate from political activism and focus on “Christian work” instead?
New video – Where does the world stand in the light of Bible prophecy?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, July 28, 2010
A few weeks ago, I was conducting an “Ask Pastor Ray” session at Cannon Beach Conference Center. One of the questions I received was “Where does the world stand in the light of Bible prophecy?“.This is a question many people are asking in these uncertain times! 2 Timothy 3:1 says that in the last days “terrible&rd…

Updated Resources
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, April 23, 2009
A few months ago we opened a no-frills section of the website called Recommended Resources. I call it no-frills because there are no pictures or other fancy designs.

I’m Glad Rick Warren Said Yes
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, December 20, 2008
All in all, I’m glad Barack Obama invited Rick Warren to lead the opening prayer at next month’s presidential inauguration. I say that even though I share some of the reservations raised by other evangelicals. But weighing everything, I’m glad that the president-elect asked him, and I’m glad Rick Warren said yes. Here’...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, February 9, 2006

The interviewer wanted to know what I would say if the family members of one of the twelve men who died asked me, “Why did this happen?” My answer would have to be, I don’t know. The Bible offers many perspectives on t ...

That means I’ll be up preaching five minutes after the start of each service. The sermon comes first, followed by music, the offering, the Lord’s Supper, and a time of response. We’re doing it th...
