Pastor Kirk continues our Christmas Series and encourages us to be bold about proclaiming our salvation.
Episode 33: Listen in this week as Nathan Finochio and Logan dive deep into theology, how our beliefs as christians differ in culture today, and how that relates to pastoring through these times with topics that can be difficult to navigate. Nathan gives clear insight on staying biblically literate as we navigate these questions that our world is asking, and why following the instructions of the Bible is the best way to live. Grab some friends and we pray this episode blesses you as you navigate through these topics in your life!
Episode 43: Happy Thanksgiving Week! We wanted to take this week to highlight a conversation that Pastor Logan and Pastor Rob had about Pastor Rob's latest book, "Keep the Change." Pastor Rob shares his heart behind writing the book and the lasting impact that it will have on you and your team. We are praying that you have a safe and relaxing week, enjoy family and friends, and eat some great food as we thank God for all that he has given us!
Pastor Rob casts a fresh vision for 2023! This year, we will be on mission as we take ground!
In part one of “I Didn’t Ask For This,” Pastor Rob challenges us to stop trying to assign blame and understand that all suffering will end someday.
When you live in obedience and when you're faithful with what you've been given, hear the "well done." In this message, Pastor Rob challenges us to stand strong and work for the "well done."
Joe Anderson shares a powerful testimony of God's redemptive power. In this message, Joe reminds us that sovereignty + surrender = redemption!
Episode 36: We are very honored to be joined by Pastor Oneka Mcclellan for this week's episode! Pastor Oneka shares her and her family's exciting journey in ministry. As they left something so secure in being the Executive Pastors at their old church, to go launch a new church, she explains the thoughts, emotions, and faith it took to obey the Lord's calling on their lives. Stepping out in faith is not easy, and Oneka talks about holding onto the Lord as you take each step!
Pastor Kirk teaches on the importance of Holy Communion. In this teaching we are reminded that through communion we show our gratitude for what was done on the cross and what awaits us in eternity. We cannot take communion and not encounter God!
Pastor Kirk encourages us to live differently and worship no matter what!
Pastor Rob reminds us that even after everything, God still comes through! We pray this message encourages you to trust God on another level this week!
Episode 31: Services are such a crucial aspect of many of our ministries. Whether it be a Sunday service for your congregation, a worship service dedicated to seeking after God, or a big Christmas Eve service where families gather together under candlelight. Services are important, and much ministry happens before, during, and after service time. Aaron Johnson, our Local Creative Pastor, and Caleb Moore, our Production Lead, break down what goes through their minds as they map out each service here at River Valley. They discuss the audience, the worship moments, the unity needed between all working parties, and so much more. Listen as they share on their passion for service moments, as this influences your incredible services to come!
