River Hills Church

God wants us to flourish; But we tend to pursue other paths on our quest for fulfillment.

Mary changed the course of history by trusting and obeying God, at the risk of her own life, even when it seemed impossible.

Ruth’s example teaches us that your background and your past doesn’t dictate your future, and that God can redeem and restore in beautiful ways when we trust him and remain loyal to our commitments.

Suffering is not the wrecking ball that knocks Christianity down but rather the cornerstone on which it has always been built.

As Christians, we are rightly concerned about our freedom to worship, but we must also advocate for rights of those who worship differently than we do, or not at all.

The claims of Christianity are exclusive because our relationship with God is not based on sincerity, morality, or religion, but on the person of Jesus. But our attitude toward those who believe differently should be marked by gentleness and respect.

The idea that faith and science are incompatible is mostly due to misunderstanding the nature, function and limits of both.

Most of us treat the Bible as a collection of disconnected verses given to us by God to provide wisdom, guidance, and comfort. But it is better understood as a collection of writings that tell one epic story of God, creation, his people, and redemption.

You cannot be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.

Love is a refuge that is always available and more than enough.

The opposite of agape love is not hate; it’s self-absorption.

In an impatient and hostile world, agape love is countercultural.

Christ calls every one of us to bring his Kingdom wherever we go and whatever we do. Life is one big mission trip!

Our closest relationships are radically reoriented under the Lordship of Christ, who rules with self-giving love.

Our identity in Christ leads to a different, countercultural lifestyle in a new, multiethnic humanity marked by mercy, generosity, forgiveness and love.

Christ has launched a Kingdom that provides a hope filled answer to life's biggest questions: Who am I? What’s wrong with me? Why am I here?

The glorious hope of Easter is not just what Christ has done for you but what he can do in you.

We live in an age of increasing anxiety. The way of Jesus provides a pathway to peace through trusting in God’s provision.

In a dark and deteriorating culture, there is nothing more persuasive than ordinary people living as Jesus taught.

Jesus turns our expectations upside down by saying it’s the weak, sad, and overlooked who are “blessed” in God’s kingdom.

This past year has brought some relationships closer together. But many others drifted apart. No matter your situation, there is always an opportunity to get a fresh start with the ones you love.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the church to go through a hard factory reset. This time in our history is an opportunity to revisit our mission’s roots, revitalize our core, and relaunch for greater fruitfulness.

Although we don’t live in a culture where people routinely bow down to idols carved from wood or stone, much of the pain and suffering we endure is due to the idolatry of our hearts. This week we’ll get honest with ourselves and God as we uncover how power, wealth, and sex continue to trap people as unrelating masters, while the gospel has power to set people free.

Our conversations with God are meant to be two-way, meaning we both speak AND listen.

Bringing your honest questions and doubts to God is an important part of developing an authentic faith.
