Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Ugly Beneath The Beautiful - #4179
Most of us have some ugly that we would just as soon not have anyone see. There's ugly stuff in our past, in our heart, in the closets of our life. The secrets that we don't want anyone to know about - the dark side we try to conceal. Those weaknesses, those failures, and the mistakes that betray the wonderful view that we portray to the world.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Abandoned No More - #4194
There are a whole lot of folks who had a mother and father - but have felt orphaned, in a way, for much of their life; abandoned, left behind, misunderstood, left alone. Maybe you know the feeling.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Riding in the Car that's Looking Backward - #4896
Jesus is the Lord of new beginnings, of fresh starts, of clean slates. You need to come to Him and let Him release you from being tied to the people who've hurt you, by getting His grace to forgive them. You need to ask His help to begin to define your life, not by what has happened, but by what's going to happen; what can happen because of Jesus in your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Needless Pain - #4987
God's way is always the best way for us - the path of ultimate peace and joy and satisfaction and no regrets. But many of us have these showdown issues with God over something we refuse to let go of or change. Maybe there's something in your life like that. You know God isn't happy with what you're doing or with the way you've let someone or something become more important to you than He is.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Chain Saw in Your Mouth - #5037
It's almost as if we have this verbal chain saw in our mouth that keeps cutting people we care about. It may be that you've been doing this for so long you hardly even notice how destructive some your words are. But the people who are hearing them are not only noticing your words, it's quite possible they'll never forget them.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Together On the Outside, Broken On the Inside - #5044
Inside there's those secrets that no one knows; that darkness that we hope no one ever knows; those wounds that no one can heal; the guilt that no one can remove; the answers that no one can give us; the fear and insecurity and frustration of not really being sure why we're here or where we're going. In some strange way, those disturbances in your heart are actually the whispers of the God who made you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Fallen Down But Finishing Strong - #5066
Simon failed, Moses failed, and yet God still had something very important for them to do for Him once they repented and surrendered their brokenness to Him. He wants to do that for you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Whose Stuff Do You Have? - #5082
The consistent pattern in Scripture is that when Jesus commands the use of something we have for His purposes, He does so much more with it than we ever could. So what is there that He's loaned to you that you've been holding onto tightly as if it were yours. That's hijacking; taking from the owner what belongs to them, to be used for what you want instead of what they want. Surrender it all to Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Goodbye, Sick Stuff - #5093
You were making progress, but it's reappearing again. Maybe it's that old addiction. Maybe it's what you were looking at; what you were watching, and you were starting to get some victory over that. It's coming back again. All of us have these empty, corrupt ways of living. And Christ comes and says, "Let him go!" "Let her go!" "Take off the grave clothes." We could be free of it forever because of Jesus.
