Dwelling Richly Podcast for Bible study, devotional, meditations, and reading spiritually uplifting books. "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly." Colossians 3:16

24/11/2025

Welcome to week one of the Dwelling Richly devotional, God’s Perfect Timing. This week we’re slowing down with Psalms, Deuteronomy, and Philippians to practice thankfulness and remember how steady God has been.
Take a few minutes each day to read, reflect, and jot down what stands out — maybe one attribute of God, a moment He provided, or a short line from Psalm 136 to carry you through. If you haven’t printed the devotional yet, grab it from the website and let’s walk through this week together.
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!
It's 50 days (five short prompts a week for seven weeks), taking you from the Sunday before Thanksgiving through the Sunday after New Year's. Each day gives a tiny Bible prompt, a quick thought, and space to jot one simple reflection — nothing overwhelming, just a steady rhythm to keep your heart grounded.
I'd love for you to join me — download it, share it with a friend, and let's let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly this season. Say hi and subscribe on the website so we can stay connected.
Dwelling Richly is a community Bible study and discipleship resource equipping you to love and live out God's word heart, soul, mind, and strength. We are people who enthusiastically and intentionally let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly.

I wrote a gentle devotional called "God's Perfect Timing" to help us stay in God's Word during the holiday rush.

Ever feel like you're spiraling, your mind pulling in a million directions? The psalmist in Psalm 42 knew that feeling. He brought his mess to God, poured it out in prayer, and then preached truth to himself. Let God's Word preach back to you.

19/11/2025

God has been faithful, is faithful, and will be faithful. That promise brings a peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding your heart and mind. This peace fortifies us, ready to battle and protect, holding the line when emotions tire. It all rests in Christ Jesus, a blessing for us.

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.

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.

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.

Live like saints, not complaining slaves, to be blameless children of God. In this crooked generation, you shine as lights—God's stars reflecting His light in the darkness. The Church carries that light; your humility lets God's holiness shine through.

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.

It wasn't you who started the good work within—your righteousness is like filthy rags. God brings completion when Christ returns. Even in the liminal space, God is working and faithful. What if you truly believed your growth is in His hands?

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

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.
