Servants | Becoming CHRIST (Week 7) | 10:30 AM Service

What does it truly mean to serve like Jesus?

In week seven of our Becoming CHRIST series, Pastor J.C. sits down with three of Riverview Christian’s dedicated volunteers for a panel discussion on servanthood, faithfulness, and what it looks like to serve the Church in everyday life. Through personal stories and honest conversation, this message highlights the heart behind serving others and following the example of Christ.

Pastor J.C. closes the discussion with a short message focused on one essential quality of every servant: availability. Jesus calls believers not just to serve when it’s convenient, but to make themselves available to God and to one another. True accountability, confession, and community all require presence, humility, and willingness to step into each other’s lives.

SCRIPTURES:
• John 13
• 1 John 1:9
• James 5:16

This message is part of Becoming CHRIST, an 8-week series from Easter to Pentecost focused on becoming more like Jesus in the way we live, love, and lead.

Sanctification | Becoming CHRIST (Week 5) | 9:00 AM Service

What does it really mean to become more like Jesus?

In Week 5 of our Becoming CHRIST series, we explore the powerful and often misunderstood process of sanctification—the ongoing work of God transforming us from the inside out. This message dives into what it looks like to surrender every part of our lives to Christ and allow Him to shape our hearts, minds, and actions.

Through key passages like 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24, Psalm 139:23–24, and Galatians 2:20, we discover that sanctification isn’t about striving harder—it’s about deeper surrender, honest self-examination, and daily dependence on Jesus.

If you’ve ever felt stuck spiritually or unsure how to grow, this message will give you clarity and direction.

Surrender To Relationship | Becoming CHRIST (Week 2)

In Week 2 of our Becoming CHRIST series, we shift the focus from striving to surrender—discovering that real transformation doesn’t come from self-improvement, but from relationship with Jesus.

Through Galatians 2:20 and John 15:4–5, we explore what it means to stop “living for Jesus” and start living with Him. Jesus never invited us into a performance-based life—He invited us into connection, dependence, and daily relationship.

This message is a powerful invitation to put down the oars, stop striving, and raise the sail—allowing the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do.

📖 Key Scriptures:
Galatians 2:20
John 15:4–5

📅 Becoming CHRIST is an 8-week journey from Easter to Pentecost, focused on eight ways we can become more like Jesus—not by effort alone, but through surrender and relationship.

Resurrection! | Becoming CHRIST (Week 1)

What does it truly mean to live a resurrected life?

In this powerful Easter message, we kick off our new 8-week series, Becoming CHRIST, by exploring the life-changing reality of resurrection—not just something Jesus experienced, but something we are invited into.

Because of Jesus, resurrection isn’t just an event… it’s a lifestyle.

This is the starting point of becoming more like Jesus—understanding that your old life is gone, and your new life is hidden in Him.

Main Scriptures:
Galatians 2:20
Romans 6:5–7, 10–11, 22–23

Ready For Resurrection? | Galatians 2:20 | Palm Sunday

Are you truly ready for resurrection?

On this Palm Sunday, we look beyond the celebration of Jesus’ triumphal entry and ask a deeper question: What needs to die in us so new life can begin?

In this powerful message centered on Galatians 2:20, we’re reminded that following Jesus isn’t just about admiration—it’s about surrender. The life we now live comes through faith in Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

This sermon challenges us to examine the “old self” we keep holding onto and invites us into the freedom, purpose, and new identity found in Christ. Resurrection isn’t just something we celebrate—it’s something we step into.

Scripture: Galatians 2:20
