The Rim Church

Jesus would teach us that the end goal of prayer is not an answer, it is a person. Success is not defined by how many prayers get answered, but by our communing with Him. Out of that communion, The Holy Spirit teaches us how to pray in alignment with the agenda of Heaven. 1 Peter 4:7 | Colossians 4:2-3 | Matthew 6:1-15 | Luke 11:5-13 | James 4:8 | Psalm 12:6 | Psalm 25:12-15 | Psalm 27:8 | Exodus...

This week we explore what biblical authority looks like in spaces like parenting, work, and the church. Our first Elder Board was commissioned by our body at The Rim on August 4, 2024! LaShaude James

Jesus calls us on a Great Adventure to join Him in serving others to build His kingdom. Will you abide in Him and answer His call to serve? Ephesians 2:8-10 | John 15:5-8 | 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 | Luke 22:7-13 | 1 Timothy 6:17-19 | James 4:13-17 | 1 Timothy 4:7-8 | Luke 10:38-42 | Psalm 51:16-17 Kristin Soileau

It’s in the heart of the Father that the Son would be honored. In honoring the Son, we are able to honor one another and see tangible elements of the Kingdom come. Ephesians 6:1-4 | Romans 12:10 | John 5:17-23 | 2 Peter 1:17 | Phil 2:5-11 | Heb 2:9 | John 12:20-28 | 1 Cor. 6:19-20 | Rev. 4:9-11 | Rev. 5:12 | Rev. 7:12  | Mt. 6:9-13 | Matthew 15:8 | Isaiah 29:13 | 1 Thess. 4:1-8 | 1 Tim. 5:17 | 1 C...

The ministry of God, how God chooses to minister to people, is presence. God is uniting heaven and earth by His presence, and His ministry of presence first begins in us and then is extended through us. Ephesians 1:8-10 | James 3:14-17 | Galatians 5:19-23 | 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 | Romans 8:6 Carmel Gabriel

This week we study the emphasis on unity in the context of the church body. We are all called to operate together in unity, not elevating or idolizing one part of the body over the other. All parts of the body work together for God's glory! John 17:20-23 | Ephesians 1:9-10 | 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 Steve Fletcher

When we see Jesus as our bridegroom King, it beckons us to see ourselves as his bride. Are we a bride that mourns for him? A bride that stores up oil for him? A bride that is pure and set apart for him? Mark 2:18-22 | Matthew 25:1-13 | 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 | Ephesians 5:25-27 | Jeremiah 3:1-5 | Ezekiel 16:8-14 | 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 | 1 Peter 1:13-25 | 2 Corinthians 11:2-4 | Song of Songs 4:1-1...

Jesus is looking and longing for a bride that will love him and comfort him with a bridal love, first love. Obedience is not enough, belief alone is not enough. He did not die for a loveless marriage. He stands at the door and knocks…will you let him in to sit with you? Rev. 2:1-7 | Ephesians 5:25-32 | John 3:27-30 | Isaiah 62:5 | Isa. 54:5-6 | Ezek 16:8-14 | Luke 10:38-42 | John 12:1-8 | Matthew...

Jesus is Lord! We explore the Lordship of Jesus and how His Headship impacts us as the Body of Christ. Romans 10:9-13, Luke 6:46-49, Matthew 7:21-23, 1 John 3:4-10, Romans 14:7-12, Philippians 2:9-13, Revelation 19:11-16, Ephesians 1:15 - 2:10 LaShaude James

We are called to live on mission. Our "purpose is to finish [the] course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace" (Acts 20:24). Kelly Craighead

Hebrews 13 LaShaude James

Our vision of Jesus, and fear of the Lord allows us to receive the gift of discipline, fight sin, and keep our birthright.  Hebrews 12 Austin Johnson

Biblical faith is more than blindly trusting God, but is instead an experience in which we get to walk in the reality of what is hoped for now. Hebrews 11 Malachi Hey

The evidence of the Kingdom of Heaven coming to Earth is the work of the Spirit in the one another.  Hebrews 10 Carmel Gabriel

Jesus' sacrifice brings us into the reality that shows us shadows of what is to come, the achievement of ultimate rescue, the freedom that allows us to become fully alive, and vision for the future. Hebrews 9 Kelly Craighead

When we go through seasons of spiritual or emotional confusion it’s natural to question if God is really trustworthy. Jesus is not threatened by our confusion or our questions and invites us to come as we truly are. Hebrews 8 Duane Benson

We are invited to explore the depth of what it means that Jesus is of the priestly order of Melchizedek + how we become priests of that same order.  Hebrews 7 Austin Johnson

Hebrews Week 8 LeShaude James Hebrews 6

Holy Week starts with Palm Sunday. Jesus' entrance on a donkey creates a beautiful disruption, brings a new perspective, and offers a Hosanna Moment. His entrance wasn't what the pharisee, disciple, or bystander excepted, but a posture of humility all needed to witness. John 12:12-19 Kelly Craighead

Jesus is the Great High Priest who is not only with us but intercedes on our behalf. Hebrews 5 Austin Johnson

Because we have a great high priest who has restored our relationship with himself, and understands how we feel, we can approach him in prayer with full honesty. Hebrews 4:14-16 Malachi Hey

We were made to take regular sabbath. God created us to work, but he also calls us to take time to rest. Scott Heare Hebrews 4:1-11, Genesis 2:1-3, Exodus 20:8-11, Leviticus 25:3-5, 2 Chronicles 36:20-21

Hebrews 3 prompts us as believers to celebrate Jesus as the rock of our salvation and to be sensitive to the Holy's Spirit's leading. Hebrews 3 LaShaude James

The reality of Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection allow us to live in freedom knowing that He has taken the punishment for sin on our behalf. Because Jesus was made fully human, you are restored, reinstated, released and revealed. Hebrews 2:5-18 Kelly Craighead

What do we do when we drift away from God? Simple, turn back. Hebrews 2:1-4 Kelly Craighead
