The Lenten Sermon Series, Church on Fire, focuses on the person and work of the Holy Spirit and how He works in and empowers us as individuals.

What is Lent? What does God do in the wilderness (when we observe a holy lent?) Benefits of the Wilderness (from Deuteronomy 8).

What is a Mission? What does a good Mission do for us as a Church Family? Jonathan uses John 17 to explain The River's Mission to Know, Follow, and Share Jesus, together.

Psalms 139 teaches us:

1. We are seen and known by God; 
2. We are pursued by God; 
3. We were fashioned by God; 
4. We love God's thoughts; 
5. We reject God's enemies; and 
6. We invite God's ongoing examination

Jonathan walked through and applied the text of Psalm 32. When we are "with" God, we have a confidence in His provision and protection.

Happy New Year! This week Matthew Joss brings us a message about what the Bible is and an encouragement to better engage with it throughout this new year.

Merry Christmas to all! Scott Cramer brings the message this week about Christmas -- what it is, why Jesus came, and how it affects us.

What is joy? How does Jesus bring us joy?

Deacon Mary McDonald showed how peace is present in the Old Testament, in the New Testament, in the Liturgy, and in the nativity.

Jonathan began the season of Advent with a message on Hope.
