The River: Downstream

Recorded June 14, 2026 with Pastor Dale Melenberg

This week we are talking about what it means to walk with someone into their gifts and into a place of empowerment, and why it is so important to listen. A desire for change must come from within.

April 19th, 2026 with Pastor Dale

This week the decision of Naomi to become Mara, and how Ruth becomes the joy, and the harmony to her story.

April 12th with Pastor Dale

Tracing the story through the Book of Ruth we find two stories intersecting, interwoven, and interpreting each other’s story.; Ruth’s and Naomi. Three sermons will identify the arcs of their story and how each character plays out their role in the relationship differently. And where is God in all of this? What role does he play?

Join us on the darkest day, when God sent His own begotten Son to sacrifice himself for our sins, that we might live forever in heaven.
