River Valley Church

Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, and He invites us to step into the mission He has called us to. We look at what it means to go, make disciples, pray with boldness, proclaim the gospel and partner with God to reach the world.

We aren't called to simply believe in the mission of Jesus; we're called to live it out. Through our words, our actions and our prayers, we carry the hope of Christ wherever we go.

Are you walking in the authority God has given you?

What if God has something far greater than the plans we’ve been asking Him to bless? Pastor Logan Ketterling reminds us to slow down, listen for God’s voice and trust His purpose over our own. Instead of asking God to bless our plans, let’s surrender them and say, “Speak Lord, we’re listening.”

In Part 3 of our Samuel series, we look at 2 Samuel 11 and the danger of drifting from God when life is going well. Through David’s story, we’re reminded not to ignore warning signs or mistake God’s patience for permission. May we have the humility to hear hard truths, the courage to listen and the willingness to obey. Speak Lord, we’re listening.

Pastor Davey reminds us to prioritize the voice of God and trust His timing, even when life doesn’t look the way we expected. Through David’s story, we see that waiting on the Lord requires faith, patience, and obedience. God is not only working in our circumstances but also working in us. As we wait, we must submit to His Word, trust His sovereignty and remain faithful, knowing that the timing and outcome belong to Him.

Pastor Rob reminds us that fear and feelings can be loud, but they don’t get the final word. By remembering God’s faithfulness, we can silence fear, trust His Word and step out in faith knowing that our God is bigger than our fears.

Ted Cunningham shares four things every parent can celebrate as their children grow: trusting the Lord, pursuing sexual purity, choosing wise friends and learning from their mistakes. He gives practical ways to point your kids to Jesus, build a healthy home, establish wise guardrails and become part of your children’s world. Parenting isn’t about raising perfect kids—it’s about faithfully pointing them toward Jesus.

Pastor Rob shares how to carry a burden for your children, discipline with purpose, understand their love language and take responsibility for your own mistakes. Learn how to apologize well, pursue your child’s heart and raise them to develop their own relationship with God.

In a culture that is constantly shaping our children, parents are called to intentionally lead, teach, and form their faith at home. Pastor Rob challenges us to embrace our God-given authority, live out our faith consistently and prepare our children to leave home with a faith of their own.

Following Jesus is the best decision of your life—and your faith is meant to be lived beyond Sunday. When we stay close to Jesus, He naturally becomes part of our conversations. Let’s learn to pray for opportunities, watch for open doors and speak about Jesus quickly and often.

Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. Pastor Logan explores what it means to live in intentional, Godly community—to be known, cared for, challenged and encouraged as part of the family of God.
