Why are they so important?

Today's message has been presented by Pastor Darrell Bierman.

At this time in history, people of our world seem to be suffering from a multitude of insolvable problems and from a propensity for war.

Are we not called to bring hope as a church?
Who really benefits if we splinter our ministry and our mission?

May 22, 2024 The Book of Esther - For Such a Time as This
River City Church - Discover - Connect - Grow
Welcome to River City Church Online. Thank you for joining us today as we look at the book of Esther.
Today's message has been presented by Pastor Darrell Bierman.

We are living in a tough season for the church and in the church.
A time of major transition and of major change. It's hard!! (Like once in every 500 years hard!)
We may lament the challenge of being believers (or part of Jesus’ Church) today; however, it’s no accident that this is happening on our watch (as per Acts 17:26 and elsewhere).
So, how can we remain faithful what God has put us in?
How can we persevere and fulfill God’s calling on our lives and on our church?
Prayer for stronger backs not lighter loads.
Yes soon, pre-trial (prepare our people).

Café will be open right after the service.
We are located at 215 South Street, Cambridge, Ontario.
God bless you today and we hope to see you soon.

May 08, 2024 Healing & Hope - The Church’s Image Problem & Four Ways to Fix It
River City Church - Discover - Connect - Grow
Welcome to River City Church Online. Thank you for joining us today as we finish our series called Crafting a Culture of Healing & Hope in the Church.
Today's message has been presented by Pastor Darrell Bierman.

A healthy church is one where every person is seen, heard, and valued.
A healthy church has carefully crafted a culture of goodness, dignity, and respect.
However, both history and our current headlines reveal a church that can be a deeply flawed, sinful, and unhealthy institution, marred by acts of injustice, corruption, abuse, misogyny, and oppression. Indeed, far from having “goodness cultures” too many churches today have “toxic” cultures!
So, is this vision of a healthy church even possible or is this vision idealistic and unattainable this side of heaven?
Here at River City Church, we believe that a healthy church is possible, but creating one will takes all of us working together deliberately following a map.
This new series will give us the map and will both equip and challenge us to turn this this dream into a reality.

The essence of Christianity isn’t the same as the current angry, abusive, self-righteous expression of Christianity that’s causing so many to walk away.
The vast majority of church leaders and of everyday Christians are - by and large - being faithful to Christ’s call (they are endeavoring to be good-hearted, honest, and faithful).
This Sunday we will look at how to identify issues in the church and how to resolve them.

Café will be open right after the service.
We are located at 215 South Street, Cambridge, Ontario.
God bless you today and we hope to see you soon.

When you look at others, do you look at them through your eyes or Jesus's eyes?
This week we will be learning how to look at others through Jesus's eyes.
Older people should be looked at as parents and someone your own age as a brother or sister with absolute purity.

River City Church - Discover - Connect - Grow
Welcome to River City Church Online. Thank you for joining us today as we continuing our series called Crafting a Culture of Healing & Hope in the Church.
Today's message has been presented by Greg Bowering.

A healthy church is one where every person is seen, heard, and valued.
A healthy church has carefully crafted a culture of goodness, dignity, and respect.
However, both history and our current headlines reveal a church that can be a deeply flawed, sinful, and unhealthy institution, marred by acts of injustice, corruption, abuse, misogyny, and oppression. Indeed, far from having “goodness cultures” too many churches today have “toxic” cultures!

Characteristics of “tov churches,” using the common Hebrew word regularly translated “good”.
The gospel as “the message of tov”; it is “about God’s tov coming to us in Jesus, who is tov, and thus making us into agents of tov”.
Tov churches with a “goodness culture” nurture these seven elements:
empathy and compassion

grace and graciousness

putting people first

truth telling

justice

service

Christlikeness.
Such churches will “resist abuses of power, promote healing, and eradicate the toxic fallout that infects so many Christian organizations”.

Café will be open right after the service.
We are located at 215 South Street, Cambridge, Ontario.
God bless you today and we hope to see you soon.

Some RCC listeners have been part of a toxic church. If you have, it may have affected (or may be affecting) your view of God.
What’s more:
By being able to identify toxic churches we can/will becomes part of the ‘solution’ (to keep RCC from becoming a toxic church).

Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
