God’s life doesn’t stop at the encounter, it transforms how we live. In this message, Pastor Bish continues through John 4 as the moment at the well leads into something deeper—true worship. She encountered Jesus. Now her response matters. Worship isn’t just a moment we step into—It’s a life we live from. The Father is seeking those who will worship in spirit and truth.

Pastor Davey Collins shares a powerful message from 1 John 4, reminding us to pay attention to what we believe and who we follow. Every spirit must be tested, because real teaching will always point us back to Jesus. As we hold tightly to Him, our words and our actions should line up—showing a life that has been changed by His perfect love.📖 Scripture: 1 John 4:1–21----Decided to follow Jesus tod...

Sometimes the best way to start again is with a simple, honest conversation:“God, I’m ready to talk.”In this message, Pastor Bish opens 1 John and reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about pretending to be perfect—it’s about walking in the light. John’s letter to early believers starts with a powerful declaration: “That which we have heard, seen, and touched…” (1 John 1:1). It’s not hearsay—it’s...

This past week, Pastor Bish continued his dive into Ephesians with a powerful reminder: when God shows up, everything changes. Not just in theory—but in you. In Ephesians 3, Paul shares how grace crashed into his life and rewrote his story. Once a proud persecutor, now a humble preacher—because when God shows up:• He transforms you• He calls you• He gives you a purpose bigger than yourselfAnd God...

What does it really mean to be saved? Salvation isn’t something we earn—it’s a gift from God, received through faith. You didn’t save yourself—Jesus did. And He didn’t just make you better—He made you new. You are God’s masterpiece, saved by grace and created for purpose. So now what? Walk in it. Live like it. Let grace change everything.--Decided to follow Jesus today?: https://www.rivervalleyvan...

Life can sweep you off course before you even notice. But two words change everything: But God. Ephesians 2 reminds us—we were dead in sin… but God made us alive with Christ. Not because we earned it, but because He loves us. Whatever you're facing today, remember: your story isn't over. But God still has the final word.--Decided to follow Jesus today?: https://www.rivervalleyvan.org/now-w...

In the opening of Ephesians, Paul gives us more than encouragement—he gives us perspective. Even from prison, he reminds us we’re not defined by our past or performance, but by our position in Christ. You are chosen, redeemed, and called to live fully alive—through grace, not effort.

Even from a prison cell, Paul declares powerful truths—you are chosen, redeemed, and called to live fully alive. Decided to follow Jesus today?: https://www.rivervalleyva...
