- Taking Off Restrictions
by The River on September 7, 2025 at 4:00 pmIn today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to take off the self-imposed restrictions that hold back our faith, especially when we feel overwhelmed or outnumbered by life’s challenges. He explains that the fear of the Lord is not about being afraid of God, but rather a heartfelt response of awe and worship for all the goodness, forgiveness, and blessings He has already poured into our lives. By focusing on God’s limitless love and the promises we have in Christ—including healing, provision, and the power of the Holy Spirit—we can pray with greater boldness and believe for breakthroughs far beyond what we might initially think possible. Pastor Jack reminds us that no matter our past mistakes, God’s grace is greater, and He desires to fill us with His Spirit so we can live victoriously and extend His love to others.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

- Self Talk
by The River on September 4, 2025 at 2:00 amIn today's message, Pastor Jack emphasizes the power of our self-talk and how the private conversations we have with ourselves can either build up or weaken our faith. Using the example of David from Scripture, he illustrates how negative internal dialogue led David into fear, poor decisions, and unnecessary hardship—impacting not only himself but also his family and followers. Pastor Jack encourages us to consciously shift our self-talk from doubt and defeat to declarations of victory rooted in God’s Word, reminding us that what we say in private often has a greater spiritual impact than our public declarations. He urges us to seek the Lord in every decision, lean on His grace when we fall short, and use our words to activate God’s promises and breakthroughs in our lives.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

- Against All Odds
by The River on August 31, 2025 at 4:00 pmIn today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to trust in God even when the odds seem stacked against us. He reminds us that faith in Christ brings breakthrough in every situation—whether it's financial hardship, sickness, emotional pain, or past mistakes—and assures us that God not only delivers us from all our troubles but also blesses us beyond where we started. Using examples from Scripture like David, Joseph, and Gideon, Pastor Jack emphasizes that our past does not define our future in God, and that what the enemy means for harm, God can turn into a stepping stone for promotion and purpose. He calls us to release any traps of unforgiveness, doubt, or pain, and to walk in the freedom and victory that comes through Jesus, who makes all things new.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

- Beyond The Ordinary
by The River on August 28, 2025 at 2:00 amIn today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to stretch our faith beyond our comfort zones, emphasizing that true growth and supernatural provision occur only when we are willing to expand our spiritual, relational, and personal capacities. He reminds us that with God, nothing is impossible, and challenges us to shed old limitations—like fear, complacency, or past identities—just as Blind Bartimaeus cast off his garment before receiving his miracle. Pastor Jack urges us to embrace the pressure that comes with growth, strengthen our spiritual stakes, and step boldly into the extraordinary plans God has for us, knowing that in Christ, there are no limits to what He can do in and through our lives.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

- Overcoming The Odds
by The River on August 24, 2025 at 4:00 pmIn today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to overcome seemingly impossible odds by applying our faith, reminding us that God has never lost a battle when His people pray without doubting. He emphasizes that we are called to dispossess the enemy and reclaim what is rightfully ours—whether it's health, provision, or freedom—and explains that fear is the primary obstacle that limits our lives and narrows our freedom. Using powerful examples from Scripture, such as Peter’s miraculous catch of fish and Jehoshaphat’s victory through praise, Pastor Jack inspires us to raise our level of faith, confront fear with confession, and live like the more-than-conquerors we are—because in Christ, the battle is already won.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!
