Let's Talk... | Why I Don't Drink

In this new message series, we’re tackling some of the tough topics in today’s culture and exploring what the Bible has to say about them. This week, we’re focusing on alcohol—what Scripture teaches and how we can respond in a way that honors God and reflects His wisdom.

Kingdom Builders | Fall Update 2024

In the Bible, Jesus focused on the people that didn’t know the love of God. Following his example, River of Life Church is an outward focused church. That is why we are Kingdom Builders! We financially give passionately and generously, above our regular tithes and offerings, to vetted organizations that help build the kingdom of God Locally, Globally and in the Future Generations.

Raising a Generation

Today, we’re honored to have our guest speaker, Chris Pruett, with us. He reminds us of a powerful truth: it's easier to raise a generation than to change one. In a world where everyone is competing for influence over our kids—and over us—it's more important than ever that our kids know who they can trust and where they truly belong. And that place is with Jesus.

Practicing the Way | Disciplines

Many of us have the desire to grow closer to God, but also experience the frustration  when our efforts fall short. Rather than relying just on our own strength, we need to train our mind, body, and spirit to pursue God intentionally and partner with Him. By practicing spiritual disciplines daily, we can develop a deeper relationship with God—much like an athlete training for a marathon, preparing for what is ahead.

Practicing the Way | Teachings and Practices

What you believe shapes the way you think, and your repeated actions shape your behavior. If you truly want lasting change in your life, you need to address both. Simply thinking or knowing the right things isn’t enough—it’s about putting what you know into practice.

Uncomfortable

Most of us try to avoid discomfort at all costs. We have heated and cooled seats in our cars, we rarely go hungry, and we pretty much never have to go without. But have you ever thought about how all this comfort might be holding us back? The truth is, if we're always staying in our comfort zones and avoiding challenges, we’re not really growing. The Bible reminds us that it’s through the struggles and trials in life that our character is shaped and our faith gets stronger.

Practicing the Way | Community

Community is essential for our spiritual growth, but it’s about more than just showing up to church on Sundays! We need real, intentional relationships that help us heal from our past and draw closer to God. It’s in those deeper connections where we find support, encouragement, and a place to grow.

Practicing the Way | Do as Jesus Did

How do we live like Jesus? How do we actually do what he did? As the church, we are called to not only follow Jesus in spirit but we are called continue his work on earth as it is in heaven. This means healing the sick, praying for the lost, opening up our homes and our lives to those far from God. The end goal is to do what he did.

Practicing the Way | Be Like Jesus

Today we explore how the world around us influences who we become, often without us realizing it. From where we live to the people we spend time with, these factors shape us. But Romans 12 reminds us not to conform to the patterns of the world, but to be transformed by renewing our minds. Becoming more like Jesus is a lifelong journey of surrender.

Practicing the Way | Be With Jesus

If we want to become like Jesus or do the things that he did, we first need to be with him. This is the baseline for following Jesus.
