This website was created by Larry Ricksen to (1) both build and encourage a community of Christ followers, and (2) introduce or reintroduce the good news about Jesus to those who don’t know Him or who may have turned away from Him in the past.

My personal journey with Jesus began 50 years ago in high school. I remain convinced to this day that the good news revealed in the Bible about Him is the best news we will ever hear in this life. Why is it such great news? It is because through faith in Jesus we are forgiven and reconciled to God, not because of anything we have done but because of what Christ has done for us.

May each of you who enter this site be blessed in discovering the abundance of “treasures hidden in the field” available to all who place their trust in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 13:44-46 . . . “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.  When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”

John 3:16-17 . . . For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Ephesians 2:8-9 . . . For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
