Two Rivers Church - New Bern

What does it mean for Jesus to be the Light of the World and how does that change the way we live today? Dive into John 8 with us as we learn how to step out of the shadows and live in the daily clarity and life He offers.

In John 6, Jesus makes the bold statement, "I am the bread of life." More than just meeting physical needs, Jesus offers the lasting satisfaction and life that only He can give. Join us as we explore what it means to truly hunger for Christ and discover why He alone is enough.

Life doesn't always go the way we expect, but God can use every challenge to grow our faith. In James 1:2-4, we'll see how trials build perseverance and shape us into people who are mature, stronger, and more like Christ.

In Mark 2:1-12, four friends go the extra mile to bring a man to Jesus, and everything changes. This message is about the difference we can make when we help others get closer to Christ. Whether through prayer, an invitation, or simply walking alongside someone, God can do amazing things when we bring people to Jesus.

We're wired for instant answers, but Jesus modeled something different. This week, we dive into the book of Hebrews challenge where we're really going for the things only God can give. We were made to depend on God and seek him in prayer. 

What’s shaping you and what’s changing you? In Proverbs 4:22-26, we’ll look at how what we allow into our hearts influences the way we think, speak, and live. Join us as we discover how God’s Word shapes us from the inside out.

Jonah finally got the mercy he wanted and it made him furious when God gave it to someone else. This week we wrap up the series by asking the hard question: can we love what God loves, even when it costs us? Even when it's the person we'd rather see fall than flourish? Come find out what it looks like to want what God wants and how that's better for us too in the long run.

In Jonah 3, we see God’s heart on full display. When the people of Nineveh heard God’s warning, they turned from their sin, and God responded with mercy. This message reminds us that God’s desire is not to judge but to save, offering grace to anyone willing to repent and turn to Him. Before judgment comes mercy. The question is: how will we respond?

Jonah is at the bottom of the ocean, inside a fish, with nowhere else to turn. He got there because of his own choices. But even there, in the darkest and lowest moment of his life, he prays. In this message, we look at Jonah's prayer from the deep and what it teaches us about crying out to God when we feel stuck, distant, or like we've gone too far. Because no matter how far down you are, God still hears you there.

This week we begin a new series this week going through the book of Jonah. There are problems we see within the story that Jonah wrestles with that might be more close to home than we think. There's a problem with mercy in that we are guilty at times of wanting it for ourselves but quick to cast judgement on someone else. Join us this week as we relearn the heart of God is for everyone to come to repentance, even those we think don't deserve it.
