Rules that don't work

2026/10/12

When Contentment Is A Mystery

When Anxiety Is Commonplace

Rico highlights the danger to the believer of spiritual drift. He uses the acrostic of DRIFT: Draw together, Rejoice in the Lord, Imminence - the Lord is near, Focus on prayer and Think on these things.

His Peace Under Pressure

2026/09/21

In a world that offers us so many ways to make us happy, Rico shows us that happiness comes from our circumstances, whereas joy comes from what's in our hearts. He shows how this can be found even when we are under great pressure.

His Strength In Opposition

2026/09/14

For some believers, sharing the gospel may be conditional upon their favourable circumstances. But Rico challenges us, using the situation of the apostle Paul in prison, to have confidence in sharing the gospel whatever our circumstances.

Growing In Love

2026/09/07

Rico shows how the prayers that the apostle Paul prayed can be a pattern for our personal prayers. Using Paul's prayer in Philippians chapter one, Rico draws out love's priority, love's character, love's fruit and love's goal.

We Are Bold

Three strategies of the devil are his power, his wickedness and his cunning, according to Rico. As the believer faces each of We these, Rico states why we should pray, how we should pray and what to pray, according to Ephesians chapter six.

Submitting In Reverence To Christ

2026/08/24

Obedience for the believer is not just regarding the gospel but in everyday life. Rico gives Biblical guidance on how we should parent our children, how we should be committed to our employer and how bosses should treat their staff.

Displaying God's Plan In Christ

2026/08/17

The early Ephesian church faced numerous discouragements; not least of which was that their spiritual leader, the apostle Paul, was now in prison. It was from his prison cell that Paul wrote to those belivers giving reasons to be encouraged.

We Are Reconciled By The Cross

2026/08/10

Rico recounts a personal and painful situation of racism from his childhood and uses it to show how racism pervaded the early church. He explains the extreme tension that existed between Jews and Gentiles and how this has been defeated.

Empowered by the rule of Christ

2026/08/03

As Ephesians chapter one documents all the spiritual blessings that belong to the believer in Christ, Rico is at pains to stress that it's no use our knowing all these things in our head if we don't internalise them in our hearts

I Believe In The Holy Spirit

2026/07/27

Some say that we can get to heaven by pleasing God. However, Rico shows that it's only by the work of the Holy Spirit, that changes us from within, can we ever please God and serve others with humility.

Serve One Another

2026/07/20

Although we become Christians by receiving what Christ has done in dying for us, Rico shows us that following Jesus should be marked by our service to others. Rico concludes by explaining the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5.

Acting Out Of Line With The Gospel

2026/07/13

As we ask what we have to do to be accepted by God, Rico takes us into the book of Galatians chapter two to show that our acceptance by God actually stands on what Christ did for us when He died on the cross.
