River City Church Teaching Podcast

Today we take a look at Romans 12 and see how God designed us to function together as a Body and as a Family, and how the call to be strongly independent may not be as beneficial for us as we once thought.

None of us thrive with relationships that are distant and shallow. By God's design, we were created for deep, meaningful and safe relationships. This week we are starting a new discussion on how to experience the type of community God always intended for us to have, and today we are looking at one aspect of that design: sacrificial love. 

In this week's Easter message, we take a look at what it was like to be a friend of Jesus while He was alive on earth. We'll explore how He loved Martha, Lazarus and Mary, and how because of His resurrection, we too can experience that kind of friendship with Jesus today.

This week we're continuing the discussion on how to share our faith. We're going to get practical about how to love people authentically and invite them into the most important decision we could ever make with our lives.

This week we are continuing in the All In series. Today, we are opening up the discussion on what it means to go All In for those who do not have a relationship with Jesus, and how sharing our faith is not only eternally important for others, but helps us live out one of the purposes God has for our lives.

Ever feel spiritually stagnant? Many of us have. We have to desire to love and follow God, and yet many times we find ourselves stuck in the pattern of just trying to make it through the week. In today's conversation, we discuss how to break free from spiritual stagnation by going All In on the mission God has called you to.

Today we kick off a new discussion called, "All In." If we're honest with ourselves, we often feel too busy, too unqualified or too dirty to go all in on the things that matter to Jesus. However, there's good news! In today's discussion, we'll open up the conversation on how we can begin to live with passion and purpose today by pursuing what matters to Jesus.

This week we are jumping into the topic of forgiveness. Most of recognize that forgiveness is important, but what do we do when it feels impossible? Does forgiveness mean that I need to sweep things under the rug, or trust the person who hurt me again? Let's jump into today's discussion and see what God's Word has to say on the topic.

This week we are diving into the topic of conflict. Let's take a look at Scripture together as we get God's view on the topic of conflict, as well as practical skills for what to do when we are in the middle of a fight.

This week we are continuing in the Relationship series with the topic of anger. What is the purpose of anger? Is there a way for me to live less frustrated and irritated? If God was angry, is all anger bad? Let's talk about it.

Join us as we kick off a new series on the topic of Relationships! This week we're diving into the vulnerable topic of belonging. While we all long to be seen, known and loved, why can it be so hard to find that in relationships? We'll also discover how self-awareness is the foundation of healthy relationships.

Today we are taking a look at the kind of fasting God desires as we explore Isaiah 58, and it what it means for our fasting to result in tangible, ridiculous love.

We're continuing the discussion this week on the topic of fasting. Join us as we explore how to fast, especially when it comes to posturing our hearts in humility.

This week we're continuing the discussion on  the topic of Fasting. This ancient, Biblical spiritual practice carries significant importance in our lives today. Discover how fasting helps to recognize the 'idols' in our lives, and how it can help us find our ultimate contentment in Jesus.

This week we're diving into the topic of Fasting. This ancient, Biblical spiritual practice carries significant importance in our lives today. Join in as we explore the Biblical reasons & benefits to fasting (as well as a few reasons not to).

This week we are talking about Making Altars. We're going to look at how we can create spaces in our life today to remember what God has done, offer ourselves completely to Him and trust Him for what's ahead.

When life is good, the holidays seem magical! But when life is hard, few things can emphasize the pain we're in like the holidays. If you're walking through a tough time this holiday season, today's discussion is for you.

This week we are talking about how to hear God's voice. Through posture and practice, we can learn how to recognize and respond to the variety of ways God speaks to us. (We had some technical difficulties with the audio, but still wanted to share!)

In today's discussion on prayer, we continue where we left off on the topic of unanswered prayer. Discover how our unanswered prayers can actually lead us into a deeper trust in God - and often as sweet revenge against the enemy.

We all have experienced the disappointment, pain, and often anger of unanswered prayer. We may often feel ourselves left wondering, "Why didn't God answer my prayer?" "Why does He feel so distant or silent?" and "What am I supposed to now?" In today's teaching, we talk about just that.

Join us as we explore the Biblical foundations of intercessory prayer, understanding its significance and how it enables us to stand in the gap for others with God.

In this message,  we're exploring how Jesus teaches us to pray by diving deep into the Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6. We break down each phrase of the prayer, uncovering its rich meaning and practical application in everyday life. Whether you’re seeking to grow deeper in your relationship with God or you're new to the practice of prayer, learning to pray like Jesus is always the best...
