RISE Church Weekly Message

In this "Love Song" series finale, guest Pastor Todd Hendricks reveals that while every couple fights, great marriages learn to fight with grace and wisdom. By exploring the four main causes of conflict and the "10 Commandments of Fighting," this message provides practical, biblical tools to resolve disagreements without damaging your bond. Discover how to move past "winning" the argument so you can start winning for the sake of your relationship.

Romance often fades when we stop positioning ourselves to win our partner's heart, but the "Triangular Model of Love" reminds us that commitment and friendship aren't enough without active pursuit. This teaching provides a clear checklist of "little things" for both husbands and wives that bridge the gap between where a relationship is and where it ought to be. Ultimately, the message serves as a call to action: to stop making excuses, evaluate your current path, and return to the foundational habits of love.

In week two of the series, Love Songs, we explore God’s original intent for lifelong commitment by examining the Triangular Model of Love through the lens of Matthew 19 and Hosea 2. It challenges believers to move away from a "fence-finding" mindset that seeks exits and instead embrace a covenant-driven life rooted in righteousness and justice. By cultivating Chesed (loving-kindness) and a spirit of mercy, couples can build a resilient foundation that honors the sacred bond God has joined together.

In the kickoff of our "Love Song" series, we explore why a deep, intentional friendship is the most important foundation for any marriage.

In this Easter message, we move beyond the history of the empty tomb to experience the power of the Resurrection in our daily lives. Drawing from Luke 24, we explore how the Resurrection provides both Presence and Possibility. Because Jesus is alive, we have the Holy Spirit to guide us through marriage, parenting, and anxiety, proving that we are never alone. This isn't just an announcement of a past event, but a demonstration of God’s power to make all things new, showing us that the old life is gone and a future full of hope has begun.

In Week 7 of the "Life on Purpose" series, we explore what it truly means to make the most of every opportunity. Drawing from Colossians 4:5-6, we learn that every interaction is a chance to reflect Christ. True "purpose" isn't just about big milestones; it's about how we act toward others in the mundane moments.
