Sunday, March 12th: Alongside-You have heard it said….Matthew 5
h By Pastor Bill Flavin

Discipleship is the intersection of our vision to be a community who is Radical in Love, Real in Relationships, and Rooted in Christ. But what do we mean here at River Rock when we say disciple? It starts with the word alongside. Discipleship is walking alongside others as they are transformed by the gospel, pursue Jesus, and live out his mission. A disciple’s life is one that is driven by a missional lifestyle, where we are on mission to share the gospel and live like Jesus in all of our lives. Jesus speaks practically and directly in Matthew 5 about how our faith in Christ should deeply change how do we do so much of life.

Sunday April 27: Joshua Series: “Be Strong” Joshua 1

What does it look like to be strong? There are lots of images of strength we know from our families, books, and our world. As Joshua steps into a major leadership role, God charges him to be strong, and to live with courage. The passage also names and qualifies that the kind of strength that Joshua is being invited to is not one that comes from within him, but relies on God, and grounds itself in his word.

Easter Sunday April 20: “Transformation Sunday” Luke 17:11-19

Easter is this watershed day for Christians to remember. The day Jesus overcame the power of death, the day he changed our relationship with God, and each other. So often the good news of Easter focuses on heaven (as it should), but leaves out the fact that the news of Jesus’ death and resurrection embolden his disciples to change how they were living that very day.

Palm Sunday April 13:  “Who Is Jesus” Luke 19:28-40

Palm Sunday April 13: “Who Is Jesus” Luke 19:28-40

Who is Jesus? Books, lectures, and more try to answer this question in so many ways. The crowds struggled with it, his disciples struggled with it, and the religious leaders of the day did too. On Palm Sunday, some of how Jesus entered Jerusalem and responded to the crowds helps us to get a picture of who Jesus was, and what his mission in this world was focused on.
