River of Life Church Long Prairie (Audio)

We look at two stories found in the book of Mark that show us in a powerful way the authority of Jesus. We see how these two stories were intentionally put together by the author to see how both stories intertwine and have a powerful message for us all!

What does it look like or mean to live in freedom and walk in Gods' authority?

This week we take a look at a biblical response to questions regarding families.

So many of us have struggled to simply pray. We don't know where to start. Or we struggle to have a deep and meaningful prayer life. We also want to hear from God, but how can we go deeper in our prayer life and distinguish his thoughts from our own?

Frequently, you will hear us talk about our focus beyond the four walls of our church. Why is that such a big focus for us? We look at 2 big questions when it comes to our local and global impact and why those are so important.

This question has brought about many theological debates. But can we lose our salvation? If so, how? What does scripture say about salvation? What other questions should we be asking?

There seem to be a lot of questions revolving around the Bible. For example, who decided what books are included, what translations are good, why do different churches have additional books, etc. Pastor Josiah walks us through some of these questions and shows us how scripture even talks about itself.

We begin a new series where we want to look at a Biblical response to questions we may have. This week, we look at what the Bible has to say about art and artistic creativity.

It's a new year, it's the time when we all makes big, ambitious decisions, try to make plans to accomplish them, and hope to acheive them. What does it look like for us to grow spiritually? What does it require and what role do we play in it?

This week we take some time to hear what God has been doing in the lives of some of our church family.

The word love is used in so many ways in our world today. Because of that, it can so easily lose depth and meaning to many people. What does it mean to love, and how are we, as Jesus' followers, to love?

his week we take a look at Peace. What does the bible say about peace and how we can find peace. Is our definition and scriptures definition of peace the same?

Advent = Arrival. At some point, we may have had some sort of tradition celebrating Advent. But how do we make this year different than the rest? We begin this series by looking at the word, hope. What is hope and how is our definition different than the hope found in scripture?

In our world today we are inundated with so much information. With media, social media, podcasts, you name it there are so many voices we hear. But who do we trust? What or who has our our time and attention?

Last week we looked at how we interact with people, particularly people we disagree with. This week we continue to look at Jesus most famous sermon on how we should approach those conversations and the questions we need to ask before having those conversations.

We all have people who see things or do things differently than we do. But how do we interact with them? What does scripture say about us interacting with those we disagree with?

This Tuesday, people all over our country will gather at the polls, cast their vote and our country will have a new leader. When we vote, we are taking part in shaping our country. Before we head to the polls, there is an important question we should be asking: Whose Kingdom are we building?

Right before Jesus ascended to heaven, he told his disciples they would be his witnesses. What is a witness, and how are we to be witnesses to others around us?

This week, we look at the practice of Sabbath. What is a biblical view of work and rest? How do we do both well?

Solitude, for some, is where they are more comfortable, but what does it look like to practice spiritual solitude. What does that look like, and how do we benefit from this practice?

We continue in the series, Practicing the Way. This week looking at the idea of community and the importance of and the need for deep meaningful community in our lives.

We look at the third goal of being a disciple of Jesus. Do as He did. What does it look like to do what Jesus did?

Last week, we looked at simply being with Jesus. But how do we become like him? The truth is we have to change, but what areas do we need to change to be transformed by Him?

So many times, we say we want to be like Jesus. But how do we actually do that? We may think it is by doing what He did but so often there is a vital first step we miss.

Jesus came to give us life and life to the fullest..but why are there so many Christians who are not experiencing that? When Jesus says follow me, what does that look like, and what does following really mean?
