Welcome to Week 4 of the God's Perfect Timing devotional and the 3rd week of Advent. Joy is a word we hear a lot during Advent—but Scripture invites us to slow down and think more carefully about what joy really is, where it comes from, and how it grows in ordinary, often difficult seasons of life. In this Week 4 message from the God’s Perfect Timing devotional journey, we step into the third week of Advent and spend time with a beautiful set of Scriptures that help us see joy through the lens of God’s nearness, His faithfulness, and His fulfilled promises. If this season feels full, emotional, or even a little overwhelming, these passages offer space to pause and let God’s Word settle the heart. 📖 Key Scriptures for the Week:Isaiah 52:7–10Luke 2:1–14Luke 2:15–20John 15:9–11Philippians 4:4–5 This devotional journal offers you a way to stay grounded and dwelling in Scripture through the holiday season. With short readings, thoughtful reflections, and simple response questions, it provides meaningful depth without overwhelming busy schedules. Each week guides you to rest in God’s perfect timing, find peace in His presence, and enter the new year with renewed hope. Designed for women who want to remain rooted in the Word during a full and emotional season, this journal brings calm, clarity, and the steady encouragement of God’s truth.

This first Advent message brings us into the quiet longing of Zechariah and Elizabeth—two faithful servants of God who lived many years with unanswered prayers. Their story invites us to slow down, think biblically about waiting, and recognize the tender ways God prepares His people in His perfect timing. If you’ve ever carried a long prayer, or wondered what God is doing in the quieter seasons of life, this message will give fresh comfort and hope. 📖 Key Scriptures:Luke 1:5–25; Zechariah 8:19; Isaiah 52:3; 2 Chronicles 13:20; 2 Chronicles 26:5 This message is part of the God’s Perfect Timing 50-day devotional journey.

Welcome to Week 2 of the God's Perfect Timing devotional. Advent begins long before Bethlehem. In this first week of Advent, we slow down and look at the earliest promises God spoke over a weary world. Before shepherds heard the angels sing, before Mary received her news, God was already preparing a story of redemption. If your heart feels stretched thin or you’re carrying long-standing prayers, these passages offer steady hope. We’ll take a gentle walk through Genesis, Isaiah, and Luke to see how God speaks into fear, meets His people in their longing, and invites us to trust His timing. 📖 Key Scriptures for the Week:Genesis 3:1–15Genesis 12:1–4; Galatians 3:6–9Isaiah 9:1–7Isaiah 40:1–11Luke 1:26–38 🌿 This message is part of the God’s Perfect Timing 50-day devotional journey.

This week we’re slowing down with Psalms, Deuteronomy, and Philippians to practice thankfulness and remember how steady God has been.

I’m praying for you — let these scriptures center your heart and remind you that God’s love and timing are always true. See you next week!

Watch this episode and more from this series here: JenniferGRichmond.com What if anxiety does not get the last word? In this final chapter of Philippians we walk through a clear, biblical pathway for steady hearts in unsteady times: rejoicing in the Lord, practicing gentleness, praying with thanksgiving, guarding our minds, and learning the secret of contentment in Christ. If you have felt the mental spin cycle, this teaching gives you a simple, do-able rhythm for your week. We move from worry to prayer, from rumination to renewal, and from self-reliance to Christ-strength. You will leave with a plan you can start today. You’ll learn how to: Pray when you feel anxious and actually experience God’s peace Train your thought life with Philippians 4:8 Practice what you have learned so peace keeps returning Live content “in plenty and in want” through Christ’s strength If your mind races at night or life feels a little unsteady, this closing session of Philippians 4 is a warm invitation to breathe. We walk through how prayer, thanksgiving, and the Word can steady your thoughts, guard your heart, and anchor your joy in Christ. Come as you are: tired, anxious, hopeful. Let’s practice bringing everything to God, choose what to dwell on, and remember that the God of peace is with us — not as a lecture, but as a steady, loving presence in the everyday.

Philippians 3:1-21 || Ep. 5 When Christ Becomes Our Measure Philippians 3 is a call to focus—press on toward the goal of Christ. Paul warns against false confidence and shows us the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus. This message inspires us to keep our eyes fixed on the prize and persevere with joy. Philippians: Joyful & Steady is a 6-session study verse-by-verse through this impactful epistle. Sessions 1 & 2 will give you the basics of studying the Bible and the overview of Philippians. Sessions 3-6 will cover one chapter at a time. I'm inviting you on a discipleship journey into a life that is Christ-centered and gospel-fueled: “I want to be everything about the gospel. “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain… that’s not just Paul’s story. It’s ours, too.” My heart is for you to be good Bible students not for the sake of knowledge alone, but to know Christ deeply and walk in gospel steadiness. In this message I introduce theological concepts like hermeneutics, systematic theology, and biblical theology to equip you to rightly handle God’s Word. Listen with the prayer to become confident, Spirit-led students of Scripture who can study and apply the Word on your own. You'll learn the DWELL method (Discover, Wonder, Examine, Link, Live) for a memorable and accessible structure for studying the Bible deeply training you to be trainers. Let’s stay connected!

From back in the archives, this is the first sermon I preached - July, 2013. If you’ve ever felt ‘meh’ about faith or struggled with life’s hard questions, this sermon gently calls you back to the wonder of who God is and how a humble response can change everything. This is a reminder that God isn’t just a distant idea or a casual checkbox; He’s holy, powerful, and deeply personal. I invite you to move from indifference or frustration to humble awe and wholehearted devotion.  What’s the most important thing about you? A.W. Tozer said, “The most important thing about a man is what he thinks about God.” This was my very first sermon back in July 2013, and the heartbeat of it still anchors every message I preach today. From Isaiah’s vision of the Lord high and lifted up, we learn that true peace and purpose begin not with me, but with Him. 📖 Read the companion blog post:JenniferGRichmond.com → Getting It Right About God 💌 Join the mailing list:Get the latest studies and devotionals delivered right to your inbox.JenniferGRichmond.com/subscribe 💬 If this message encourages you, share it with a friend or tag #DwellingRichly Let’s stay connected!

What does real humility look like—and why does it lead to joy? In this session from Philippians: Joyful & Steady, we'll walk through one of the most beautiful passages in Scripture—the “Christ Hymn” of Philippians 2. Discover how Jesus’ downward path of obedience and self-emptying becomes the model for our own lives of unity, service, and radiant joy. If you’ve ever struggled to surrender pride, to love people who are hard to love, or to find joy in the waiting, this message will help you see that the way down truly is the way up. 📖 Key Scriptures:Philippians 2:1-18 | Micah 6:8 | Isaiah 45:23 | Hebrews 2:8 Philippians: Joyful & Steady is a 6-session study verse-by-verse through this impactful epistle.

Today is a good day to subscribe to the Dwelling Richly podcast on YouTube and get on the Dwelling Richly mailing list at JenniferGRichmond.com Read the Blog Update: jennifergrichmond.com/a-time-for-every-purpose/ After 15 wonderful years serving at La Mirada Church, I’ll be retiring as Women’s and Children’s Pastor. I’m deeply grateful for every moment and every person God allowed me to walk alongside. As I began my comments on this past Sunday, I asked one of my favorite questions: “What’s the first thing God gave His people when He delivered them from slavery in Egypt?”A calendar. Because God is the Author of time and seasons, and He’s the One who writes every chapter of our lives. This retirement marks the close of one beautiful season and the beginning of another. As Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, there is a time for every purpose under heaven. So… what’s next for Pastor Jennifer? This isn’t an ending, it’s another step in following Jesus. I’ll continue teaching and writing through the Dwelling Richly Bible studies and podcast, encouraging others to let the Word of Christ dwell in them richly. I hope you'll join me! I'm excited for what the Lord will bring! Through this transition, my heart rests in one simple truth: Eyes on Him. We may not yet see everything in this world fully under His rule, but we do see Jesus (Hebrews 2:8–9). That’s the focus that has carried me through every season of ministry and it remains the focus now. Retiring from this role doesn’t retire my calling. It simply opens a new chapter to serve and shepherd in fresh ways. And as always, the mission remains the same: to point hearts toward the Word, to build up the Body, and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as we let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly. God’s faithfulness in the past gives me full confidence for the future both for me and for La Mirada Church. I'll continue my ministry of discipleship through writing and teaching the Dwelling Richly Bible studies, speaking at events, retreats, and conferences, and shepherding through biblical counseling. The current study through Philippians will continue, so if you are not yet in that study, today is a good day to start! Get the details on my website and be sure to get on the email list so you get updates about future studies and events.

Theology isn’t abstract—it’s lived. Your life is your testimony. The way you respond to trials, the way you show joy, the way you carry burdens—all of it proclaims who you believe God is.

Welcome to "Philippians: Joyful & Steady" - First teaching session in this Bible study series! This is part 1 of "How to Study the Bible." First, some general principles, and then in part 2, specifics for studying and dwelling well through Philippians.  Do you ever feel stuck in your Bible study, unsure how to connect with God's Word in a meaningful way? Or perhaps you find yourself struggling to truly experience the freedom that Christ offers in your daily life? This message addresses those very challenges by diving into the book of Philippians, offering practical solutions for approaching scripture with intention and enthusiasm. You'll learn how grow spiritually by engaging with God's Word in a way that transforms you inside out. If you’re longing for a deeper connection with God and His truth, this message will guide you toward that freedom and understanding.

This episode digs into a tough but real question: does God fight for us when we feel attacked or misrepresented? We walk through Scripture to understand God’s character, how to check our hearts, and why godly friendships and humility matter more than instant vindication. I share practical steps, key verses to meditate on, and encouragement to trust God’s timing while pursuing holiness. Let’s think it through together, pray, and keep seeking to live with the word of Christ dwelling in us richly.

This week’s message from Hebrews 10:32–39 carries a deeply personal note. Before the sermon, we sang “Walk by Calvary”—a song written by my dad, Dave Garrett. He wasn’t just a pastor; he was a songwriter who lived out Colossians 3:16, letting the Word of Christ dwell richly through hymns and spiritual songs. For me, his words are a heritage of faith, pointing me (and now all of us) back to the cross. He was about centering everything on Christ. I can’t think of a better way to step into Hebrews’ call to remember and endure than by remembering the faithfulness of God through the song of a man who lived it. This sermon is from the "Greater Than" series through Hebrews at La Mirada Christian Church.

What if the scariest words in Hebrews are actually an act of mercy? “If we go on sinning deliberately…” (Hebrews 10:26–31) can sound like doom, but this passage is a loving shout of “Stop!” to hearts drifting toward an eyes-wide-open rejection of Jesus. In this message, we unpack what “sinning deliberately” really means (and what it doesn’t), why phrases like “trampled the Son of God” and “outraged the Spirit of grace” are so strong, and how this warning comforts the worried, confronts the casual, and equips the faithful. You’ll see the difference between a weak struggler who stumbles yet repents and a willful heart that treats the cross as common. You’ll also hear why this is not about losing salvation, but about refusing the only sacrifice that saves and why the “hands of the living God” are fierce with justice and fierce with grace. Come be sobered, steadied, and invited back to Jesus, His people, and a holy, hopeful life. 👉 Subscribe for more in-depth Bible teaching🔔 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss new content🙋🏻‍♀️Looking for a speaker?

What if life's biggest need isn't a quick fix? It’s easy to get caught up in wanting things *now*. But what if the deepest longing is for something more? What if it is a sense of peace that comes from within? Feeling like you're never enough? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t outrun guilt or find peace with God? In this message from Hebrews 10, we explore why all the sacrifices in the world - not bulls, goats, rituals, or even good deeds - could never do what Jesus did. This isn’t just theology; it’s the answer to your deepest need: to be fully justified, fully clean, and fully free. Let’s talk about shadows, sacrifices, and the Savior who stretched out His arms to cover it all. 👉 Subscribe for more in-depth Bible teaching🔔 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss new content🙋🏻‍♀️Looking for a speaker?

We're diving into some deep waters today as we explore the book of Hebrews together. Remember seven years ago when we first tackled Hebrews? Well, we're back! It's like catching up with an old friend. Today, we're tackling some of the most challenging yet beloved passages in the Bible. Hold on tight, because spiritual growth isn't for the faint-hearted, but it's oh-so-rewarding! This episode focuses on leaving behind spiritual infancy and pressing on to maturity. We all start off as spiritual babies – that's normal! But as we grow, we need to move forward, beyond just the basics, and really embrace the deeper truths that lead to a fuller life in Christ. It's about trusting God to carry us forward – kind of like stepping off the high dive, even if the pool below looks miles away. If you're feeling stuck or finding yourself asking, "Have I done enough?" this discussion is for you. We're talking about not just going through motions or treating our faith lightly, but really living it out, letting it transform us deeply. Dive in with us as we explore the exciting, sometimes daunting journey to maturity, ever clinging to the hope and assurance in Jesus. This is such a challenging passage I included it in my "So Glad You Asked" series. Read that blog post here And, as always, subscribe, follow, connect...all the things! I'm excited to grow this podcast and engage with you!
