The River Church

In today's topic, we will discuss the idea of feeling the need to prove ourselves to God or others. But we will learn that we can rest in knowing that we are already accepted by God, through faith in Jesus.

In today's sermon, we will understand how distractions can pull us away from seeing the miracles and work that God does in our lives and the lives of others. We will also see ways we can practice being in His presence, such as remembering that He is always with us, being present ourselves, and turning to His calls.

Bible chapters mentioned:

In today's sermon, we will take a look at the causes and effects of pride, what God thinks of pride, and how putting on humility can shift our mindset from focusing on ourselves to focusing on God and others.

Today, we will look at the difference between an evaluating judgement and a condemning judgement. We will also see how much better mercy is than a critical nature.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Ryan will discuss what passion for Jesus is and how we can live a life of passion.

In this week's sermon, we will see ways to worship and praise God in the way we live. Including continuing to walk in the light of Jesus, living in his free gift, and reflecting the blessing we have in him to others. Some ways we can do these are by turning from sin and towards God, living in the way He created us (with our gifts and talents), and being wise with the way we use our words. 

In today’s sermon, we will look at the causes and effects of trying to take control of the trials and situations in life that are beyond our control. This can be a disaster for us because when we take control, we miss out on the guidance and calling God has for us. A lack of trust in God shows that we believe we know what is best and when it is best to do it. God wants us to obey him, instead of offering sacrifices, by fully trusting in him and surrendering our lives to him, since he is good and wants what's best for us.

Today, we will explore why comparing ourselves to others can be so damaging. Whether we look down on others or if we feel inferior. We will learn how to take these thoughts captive and let this burden go by focusing on the calling Jesus has for us and by defining ourselves through Him.

This Easter Sunday, we will discuss Jesus's resurrection, His conversation with Mary Magdalene, and how He knows us each and calls us by name.

In today's sermon, we will look at the meaning behind Jesus's ride on a donkey into Jerusalem, the differences between what the Jewish people expected Him to do for them, and what He wanted to do for them. We will also see how our plans and how we want Jesus to be can blind us to who He truly is and what He has planned for us.

[Luke 19:28-40]
