In today's message, Pastor Jack encouraged us to embrace our identity in Christ as the foundation for transformation and victory. He reminded us that the way we see ourselves directly impacts how God’s power works in our lives. By understanding that Christ has given us His righteousness as a gift, independent of our performance, we can reject feelings of defeat, insecurity, and condemnation. Pastor Jack highlighted the importance of speaking life-giving words aligned with God’s truth, as these words activate faith and release the Holy Spirit’s power in our lives. He challenged us to see ourselves through the lens of Scripture, to claim the victory and blessings Christ has already provided, and to let go of negative self-perceptions that hinder our faith. With practical examples and personal testimonies, Pastor Jack showed us that true change doesn’t come from willpower but through Christ working in us, urging us to build ourselves up in faith, trust God’s promises, and speak His truth over our lives.

- Identity Of A Championby The River on December 12, 2024 at 3:00 am
In today's message, Pastor Jack challenged us to embrace our true identity in Christ as champions and overcomers. He emphasized that we cannot simply want God's promises; we must align ourselves with who we are in Christ to fully receive them. By rejecting the mindset of defeat and lack, and instead identifying with the new creation we have become through Jesus, we attract blessings into our lives. Pastor Jack illustrated this through stories of biblical figures like Gideon and David, who stepped into their God-given purposes and found confidence and victory. He reminded us that God's love for us is everlasting, shaping our value and identity, and encouraged us to forgive others just as we have been forgiven. With this understanding, we can walk in faith, love, and purpose, knowing we are not victims of circumstance but history makers and vessels of God's power. Tune in now!

- Limiting Yourselfby The River on December 8, 2024 at 5:00 pm
In today's message, Pastor Jack encouraged us to take off the personal limits we often impose on ourselves, reminding us that these limits restrict not only our own potential but also what God can do in our lives. Drawing from Psalms 23 and other Scriptures, he highlighted how God desires to bless us abundantly—leading us through challenges, providing for our needs, and renewing our strength like the eagle. Pastor Jack explained that our faith requires a genuine desire for transformation, urging us to identify and remove negative patterns, stir up the right wants, and embrace the blessings God has prepared for us. By expanding our expectations and believing in God's limitless power, we can break free from limitations, reignite joy, and imagine greater possibilities for our families, careers, and spiritual journeys. Ultimately, Pastor Jack called us to believe, act, and allow God to work through us, reminding us that our faith and willingness unlock His miracles in our lives. Tune in now!

Through faith, we can overcome challenges, strengthen our relationships, and experience the abundant life Jesus promised. Pastor Jack urged us to stay in our God-given lane, using our unique callings to glorify Him, and to persistently act on our faith, trusting that God will provide opportunities and guidance.
