- 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.

- Decreeing Things
by The River on August 7, 2025 at 2:00 amIn today's message, Pastor Jack encouraged us to embrace the power of declaring things in faith, emphasizing that these declarations are not prayers but bold statements rooted in our trust in God’s promises. He shared biblical examples, like David facing Goliath and the Shunammite woman declaring “It is well,” to show how faith-filled words can overcome obstacles and align us with God’s destiny. Pastor Jack reminded us that God often doesn’t reveal the full picture upfront, and unexpected challenges arise—but by decreeing His truth, we navigate those trials and step into His plans. He challenged misconceptions about God’s sovereignty, stressing that our faith activates His power, and urged us to reject doubt and tradition to live boldly in His promises. The message closed with a call to declare God’s truth over our lives, trusting that our current struggles are preparing us for greater things.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!
