River Valley Church

Pastor Rob reminds us that God is always speaking, often not in loud moments but in a quiet whisper that requires us to slow down, draw close and tune our hearts to hear Him. As disciples, we learn to discern His voice through humility, seeking His presence and listening for the gentle guidance of the Spirit in the stillness.

Dr. Darnell Williams challenges us to dare to dream, reminding us that God-given dreams will disrupt our comfort, reveal the discipline required, and demand courage to pursue what God has shown us. Dreaming with God is not about personal ambition, but about stepping into His purpose and trusting Him to do more than we could imagine.

Noah Herrin reminds us that starting is easy, but finishing is biblical, pointing to Noah’s quiet faithfulness in Genesis 6:18–22. He challenges us not to trade our God-given assignment for a man-made opportunity, but to measure success by faithfulness to what God has called us to do.

Pastor Rob challenges us to rearrange our lives so that God is first—not just in belief, but in practice—because tithing is not transactional, it’s relational. As partners in the Kingdom, we reject the voice of mammon and choose open-handed trust, knowing that when we seek first His Kingdom.

Pastor Rob builds on the foundation of the tithe, reminding us that it’s not about the size of the gift but the sequence—God first, then our needs—because when the first part is set apart, the rest is blessed. As partners, not spectators, we participate with willing and cheerful hearts, holding generosity with a loose grip—because seed kept in the barn feels secure, but seed sown in faith is what God multiplies.

Pastor Kirk explores the biblical foundation of the tithe from Abraham to Jesus, revealing that generosity has always been about the heart, not obligation. As we honor God with the first and best, we discover the deeper question every believer must answer: Is God truly our source?

Holly Wagner reminds us that the Church was never meant to stay in the salt shaker—we are created to step into every situation and actively bring peace, hope and change. As God’s workmanship, we are called to shine as a city on a hill, shaping culture (not just surviving it) and letting our light burn brightest, even in our darkest seasons.

Pastor Rob Ketterling continues Vision 26 Part 2 with a message on valuing God’s voice and developing ears of the heart to truly hear Him. If God is speaking, we must be listening with attentiveness and openness.

Pastor Terry shares a timely message on becoming a Future Church—renewing our minds in God’s Word and refusing to fear a rapidly changing world. This is a call to redeem culture through the Holy Spirit, live as salt and light in “Babylon,” and respond with hearts that say, “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.”

Pastor Rob recaps 2025 and shares our new vision for 2026: Speak Lord, We're Listening. God has positioned us for such a time as this. This is a call to align our hearts, our prayers and our actions with what God is speaking now—believing that when God speaks, His people respond.
