Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Surprising Reason You Are Where You Are - #4062
When a power-mad member of the king's court engineered this royal decree to have the Jews annihilated, the man who raised Esther sent her a message, challenging her to use her access to the king to save her people. To do so, she would literally have to risk her life because the law required that anyone who came to the king uninvited - even the queen - would be put to death unless the king extended his golden scepter to spare them. And Esther hadn't been summoned by the king for a month.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Sensing The Current - #4063
Now, why can the eagle soar so high and so effortlessly for so long? Because he waits to see where the wind is blowing and he goes with it. That's exactly how you and I are to make our decisions and make our plans - waiting to see where the wind of God is blowing in this particular situation and then going with it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Last Roller Coaster Ride - #4068
A roller coaster ride that isn't much fun - that's how a lot of Jesus' followers feel about their Christian life. Maybe you've had your share of spiritual highs, and the view at the top is exciting. But you've also had the bottom drop out and plunge you down into the valley of spiritual mediocrity and defeat. And a whole lot of people are tired of this up-and-down faith. They're ready for something more consistent. They're ready to get off the Christian roller coaster.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The "Others" Factor - #4083
It's interesting how responsibility can change the way we live - or how it should change the way we live. Like a certain skiing father I know, you do some things differently when you start thinking about how it could affect people you care about - people you very appropriately feel responsible for. In essence, you start living God's way when you no longer approach life as if it's all about you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Going Where You've Never Gone - Seeing What You've Never Seen
My friend actually had to move out of where he felt comfortable to experience some exciting things he'd never experienced before. So do you and I. That is, in fact, a fundamental principle of getting all our Lord Jesus wants us to experience. And maybe it's important we talk about that today - because someone who's listening may be stuck in their comfort zone, missing some scary but exciting things that God wants you to see.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Follow That Voice! - #5218
If your life is like mine, there are lots of choices you have to make - it's a turbulent flight. There are lots of voices pulling at you; even smoke that makes it difficult to know how to proceed sometimes. What will bring you in safely is what brought that pilot in safely - that one calm voice from the Tower.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why Our Lives Come Out Flat - #5227
Repentance begins by realizing that what you're doing is sin, and it's ugly. It's breaking the heart of the One who died so you don't have to act like that. It's like realizing your car is headed the wrong direction to get where you want to go. You have to do three things: admit you're going the wrong way, stop going the wrong way, and turn around and start heading the right direction.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Lost But Proud - #5230
Don't let your pride make you miss heaven; being too proud to admit you've never really given yourself to Jesus even though everyone thinks you have, too proud to come to your spouse's faith, too proud to lay aside depending on your religion. Let this be your Jesus-day.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Playing Judas - #5243
Judas betrayed Jesus and he never came back. While there's a Judas, there's also a Peter; one close to Jesus who turned his back on Jesus. But Peter is living proof that a denier, a betrayer, can come back!
