RITH Weekly Sermon

Thanks for listening to the River In The Hills Church podcast. We hope you are encouraged and edified by this message brought to you by our Associate Pastor, Nate Cashdan.

God thinks generationally and He is deeply committed to seeing eternal truths and the things He has done for us be passed down to the next generation. In fact, Biblical success is not inventing something new but passing on something eternal. Listen as Pastor Glenn Hubbart challenges us to the think the way God thinks and create the ceilings that will become the floor of the next generation.

Fear has always been a struggle of the human condition, but over the last two years, the intensity of the fear people face seems to have ratcheted up. What is fear? What are its effects? More importantly, how can we eradicate it from our lives? Listen as Todd Adams, one of our elders, explores this timely subject through the lens of Scripture and empowers us to exchange our fear for the love of Go...

We make ourselves ready for revival in our families when marriages are healthy and honoring God and when relationships between children and parents are healthy and honoring God. Then, and only then, can the Lord begin to reignite the flame. Listen as Pastor Nate Cashdan delivers a clear message that will stir your heart for how deeply God cares about the relationship between parents and their kids...

Did you learn to love? This is the most important question that we can all ask ourselves each day. Pastor Kyle Hubbart looks at the clearest and most comprehensive Biblical definition and description of the love that God is after in each one of us. Thankfully the Bible is abundantly clear on what love actually is in God’s eyes.

Although the enemy has come in like a flood in our nation, the promise of God is that He will raise up a standard against him. Jesus is the standard; however, He needs individuals and churches to be like Him, to be His representatives in the earth. Listen as Pastor Glenn Hubbart expounds upon Isaiah 59:19 and how we as believers can experience the victory that is promised to us as believers.

Personal revival precedes regional revival, but there is one more thing that precedes regional revival and comes after personal revival--family revival. That means revival OF the family (in the midst of a culture that sees traditional, Biblical families as a threat and as evil), and revival IN the family. Listen as Pastor Nate Cashdan helps us to step into revival because after all, families are m...

Much like in a wildfire, there are things in the Church that have survived the “fires” of the last 2 years. Listen as Sloan Adams explores what has remained and, more importantly, how to galvanize those areas as we continue to become the glorious and victorious Bride that Christ is coming back to marry. We dig into Revelation 3 and what instruction it gives on the “how” of strengthening those area...

We, as ones longing for the return of Jesus, have a clear intercessory responsibility to stand with Jesus’ own people, to stand with Israel during her time of greatest trouble in this End-Time generation. We have a primary responsibility to galvanize and uphold the arms of the Jewish people through prayer, financial support, even opening up our homes and our very lives. Be encouraged as Pastor Kyl...

One day, we will all stand before the Lord, and whatever He’s thinking at that moment will be the most important thing about our life, even now. Determining to live each day with eternity in mind causes us to re-align the way we look at and process disappointments, obstacles, temptations, failures, accusations, opportunities, and mistreatments. Listen as Pastor Glenn Hubbart inspires us to live li...

We all come from different worship cultures. This is beautiful and paints a picture of a diverse God who loves his children and loves the way his children express their love and adoration for Him. Pastor Nate Cashdan not only shows us Biblical examples of these different expressions of worship, but gives us explicit permission to worship the Lord with these different expressions.

We are commanded to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice, and Psalm 126 typifies this shared experience of the people of God that has been common throughout history. Open your heart to jump fully into God’s heart as Pastor Kyle Hubbart teaches through this Psalm of Ascent. Let’s dive in, or better yet, let’s ascend together.

The job of pastors is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. There is always equipping that needs to be done. Listen as Pastor Nate Cashdan help us to have a healthy expectation of our pastors and challenges us with the expectations that pastors should have of the flock.

Much like the “Got Milk?” campaign of the 90s, the church in America is in need of an awakening as well. Will we embrace our identity as a house of prayer for all nations or will we settle for simply being a social club with some nice programs—“acting religious, but rejecting the power that could make us godly” (2 Timothy 3:5). Listen as Sloan Adams explains what is in God’s heart about the local...

The first time Jesus shed His blood to redeem us and set us free, wasn’t when the His back was scourged, or when the crown of thorns was put on His head, or when they pierced His hands and feet. It was from an assault on His mind and emotions which caused Him to sweat drops of blood. Pastor Glenn Hubbart shares the good news of how Jesus won the victory over our minds and emotions by the power of...

The last 18 months have caused and exposed "cracks" in our foundation and created "cuts" in our relationships with others. But, God has spackle for these cracks and butterfly bandages for our cuts. Listen as Pastor Glenn Hubbart explains these truths and get your hopes up that God has your healing available!

Got a question about God, the Bible, the end times, or anything in between? Wish you knew what God's Word said about it? You're in luck! This past Sunday, during main service, we hosted an "Ask the Pastors" panel. You won't want to miss this!

Many of us understand what it means to be sons & daughters of God, but have we truly stepped into what it means to be His friend. Using the life of David, guest speaker Josh MacDonald shows us what it means to be after the heart of God in the most difficult of seasons. Prepare to experience a reignition of the fire of your heart because of the fire of His love for you.

A few weeks ago, we looked at 2 Timothy 3 in which the Apostle Paul describes perilous times in the last days before the return of the Lord Jesus. As such, we must view current events going on in our world from a biblical worldview, rather than a secular/cultural worldview. Listen as Pastor Glenn Hubbart shares three indications from the Bible we’re fast approaching then end of the age and how we...

We have to be equipped as followers of Jesus, especially in the times we live in, to identify and guard against the occult. Listen as Pastor Nate gives us practical ways to identify the activity of the occult and the tools we need to guard against it.

Psalm 110 is the most quoted OT passage hands down. It explains the mystery of Jesus ruling from Heaven first through His voluntary lovers on earth, before He would come back and set up His earthly ruling Kingdom. Listen as Pastor Kyle Hubbart mines out the depths of glory and the riches of revelation insight in these 7 power-packed verses.

A great coach will know what’s going to happen, tell you what to do, and then strengthen and prepare you for what lies ahead. That’s what Jesus does for us--He gives us these warnings in Scripture so we can win in a dark and perverse generation. Listen as Pastor Glenn Hubbart equips and encourages us to face these difficult times so we're prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead.

As negative trends in our culture continue to escalate in variety and intensity, the church cannot avoid addressing certain issues in this hour. People everywhere are looking for answers, and the church that is unafraid to speak up can help provide answers. Pastor Glenn Hubbart shares that, as we provide answers, the church can also lead people to the ultimate answer, Jesus Christ.

Often times in our culture we are so busy looking ahead that we miss what is right in front of us. We miss what God has for us now because we want to know what he has for us in the future. Listen as Pastor Nate Cashdan encourages us to love those closest to us the way that Jesus Himself loved.

Any time that we turn our focus to what the Lord is doing next, we break our routine and the enemy gets in to tempt us in different ways (or the same old ways). It’s easy to fall into sin or sinful habits. Using the story of Achan, Pastor Nate Cashdan reminds us not only the danger of sin, but also the goodness of God to gently call us higher.
