- Change That Lastsby The River on October 13, 2024 at 4:00 pm
In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to pursue changes that last by addressing the root causes of recurring issues in our lives. He uses the example of Jesus cursing the fig tree in Mark 11, showing that when Jesus spoke to the tree, it withered from the roots, symbolizing how we need to target the root of our problems through faith. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true transformation isn't about trying but about exercising faith to remove deeply rooted negative behaviors. He challenges us to prophesy success over our lives—whether in marriage, health, finances, or personal struggles—by speaking and believing in God's Word. Lasting change comes not from behavior modification but from living out our new identity in Christ, with faith that moves mountains. Tune in now!

- How To Be Free After Salvationby The River on October 10, 2024 at 2:00 am
In today's message, Pastor Jack speaks to us about the freedom that comes after salvation, emphasizing that while we are saved and forgiven of our sins, many of us still struggle in various areas of life. Whether it’s in relationships, finances, or emotions, the truth found in God's Word has the power to set us free. Pastor Jack encourages us to abide in that truth, explaining that it’s not just enough to believe—we must also know and apply the truth to see transformation. Through scriptures, he demonstrates how understanding and standing on God's will, especially in areas like health and prosperity, allows us to pray with confidence and see God's blessings manifest in our lives. Pastor Jack urges us to search the Word for guidance, act on it in faith, and be led by the Spirit in all areas, reminding us that it's God’s truth that truly brings freedom and victory. Tune in now!

- Passing Through To The Other Sideby The River on October 6, 2024 at 4:00 pm
In today's message, Pastor Jack reminded us of the importance of not letting our trials define us. He shared that just as Jesus instructed His disciples to go to the other side of the storm, God wants us to come through our challenges victorious, not stuck in them. Using powerful examples from scripture, including the Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace and Joshua leading the Israelites through the flooded Jordan, Pastor Jack emphasized that God can protect us and bring us out of difficult situations without the trials sticking to us. He encouraged us to deal with emotions like anger and grief quickly, lest they turn into bitterness and overwhelm our faith. Pastor Jack urged us to accept what we cannot change, trust God for a new vision, and believe that no matter the loss, God still has great things ahead for us. Through faith in Christ, we can come through anything stronger and more blessed. Tune in now!

- Power Of Passing Throughby The River on September 29, 2024 at 4:00 pm
In today's message, Pastor Jack talks about "The Power of Passing Through" and how as believers, we often carry emotional and spiritual baggage from hardships, preventing us from fully entering the blessings God has for us. Drawing from the stories of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and the trials of figures like Jacob and Jesus, Pastor Jack encourages us not to let the pain of past experiences linger in our lives. Instead, we are called to cling to God, trust Him through the challenges, and emerge without the weight of our struggles, stepping into the fullness of His blessings. Pastor Jack reminds us that, like Christ passed through suffering for our salvation, we too can pass through our trials with hope and victory, leaning on God's promises and the support of our church community.

- Prospering In Everythingby The River on September 26, 2024 at 2:00 am
In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to recognize that God desires for us to prosper in all areas of life—whether in our marriages, careers, or personal growth. He reminds us that spiritual prosperity comes through renewing both our minds and our words in line with God's truth. Pastor Jack emphasizes the importance of aligning what we say with what we believe, as our words have the power to either support or hinder the growth we seek.
