thank u man, u brought tears to my eyes, what a blessing...
OMG!!!Ralphy, What can I say, It was off the hook, absolutely awesome...."I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, I GOT MY MOJO BACK." I serve a great GOD. Jesus is the Solution, the Answer, not only the Truth, the Light and the Way,Amen!!! God created the body of christ for us to be leaders, I will not lose heart, I am renewed day by day, thru the struggles, I am developed and strenghten and equipped for his glory. Faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen, AMEN!!!!
Again, Ralphy thank you for the message, God bless u and ur family, Love u my Brother in Christ...Brenda
This was an awesome word! What had happened is that we forget who God is. May we keep ourselves anchored to the Word of God. Thank you for this lovely reminder.
I love you Ralph really I do. You are the only man that can rock bow ties preaching about "what had happened" and refer to the days before the death and resurrection of christ as things about to "pop off" and still bring such deep study, relativity and fresh word with no notes to boot. you the man ralph. seriously.
My friend, Thank you.......It doesn't matter how long I've walked with God it is great to hear the truth over and over again. These things can creap into your life and it takes the TRUTH to expose them. Thanks for the re-focus.
love ya, Mary
OFF THE HOOK...I love you buddy!!!!

Ralph,
I just finished listening to your message from last Tuesday's prayer meeting. Not only did I agree with your thoughts, but I found myself encouraged throughout the message. Thanks! I'm looking forward to our get together December 7th. Also, let me know when you get Wright's book.
Grace and Peace,
L.P.
Hi Ralph
I just wanted to write you and tell you just how much your sermon blessed and encouraged me. I was facing something that, at the time seemed so insurmountable. I, like the disciples in your sermon was consumed by this situation. I knew God would deliver me, but I worried. I hadn't gone 7 miles from Jerusalem, nor 7 feet, but I had gone about 7 inches; just enough for the devil to get me to think about the "what ifs".
I needed exactly what you preached. As it turns out, what I thought was an insurmountable problem, was not. It worked out fine; to God be the glory. Your sermon also touched me because I too lost my beloved brother. He died July of 2007. He was my best friend. God has kept me. God has been my comfort. It has not been easy, as you said last Tuesday, but I know that peace that you have. Thank you for sharing that testimony. It was that part of the sermon that made me realize, if God could pull me out of the depths of mourning, He could certainly handle this situation. You reminded me of the "What had happened" in my life. Jesus showed up when I got saved as a child and He keeps showing up. Thank you Ralph.

P .S.
As a recovering C-Span addict, I understand the news junkie in you (LOL) I believe in your conspiracy.
What had happened….”
Ralph I’m so glad you chose this title…we’re all going around the office saying…”well wha had happened (was)….”
You’re a tremendous communicator…and the ring of HIS holy spirit was all over the word…thank you for being such a blessing to us Ralph…your word gave life to the body of Christ…that comes with a cost and I’m just so proud you….
Love ya tons

Dear Ralph,
Just want to tell you that tuesday nights prayer meeting was SLAMMIN.
Sermon notes are overated!! ---When a message is written on your heart,notes don't matter. God used you to bless us abundantly in a style that is motivating, electric and thought provoking (I call it the Ralph Red Bull Style)
Thank you for continuing to be obedient to all that He call you to andthank you for blessing my life.

Rafael, That was off the hook. I was bug'n out when you started it because when I read that portion those words jumped out at me, "what had happened!" It was a great word. You really brought it and it blessed me. I dont have to tell you how real Jesus is with us. You were extremely real. When someone preaches and keeps it real, then those listening get rocked to change. God bless you bro. I'll be looking for more.
In His Purpose,
Efrain Mercado
