Pastor Dick's Devotionals

Need a little lift or some quiet time with the Lord? These devotionals are simple, honest reflections on God’s Word and everyday life. They’re meant to bring a little hope to your morning or peace to your evening. Take a few minutes to sit with Him, be refreshed in His presence, and remember—you’re deeply loved by God.
--Pastor Dick
