- Passing Through Itby The River on February 9, 2025 at 5:00 pm
In today's message, Pastor Jack encouraged us to trust God through the trials and obstacles that try to hold us back. He reminded us that faith with God can do the impossible, but we must be willing to get past the crises, betrayals, losses, and fears that threaten to stop us. Using powerful examples from Scripture—such as the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, Joshua leading his people into the Promised Land, and the three young men in the fiery furnace—he showed us that we can only step into our destiny when we refuse to let setbacks define us. Pastor Jack also emphasized that the same faith that brings healing and miracles is the same faith that saves, and we already have it within us. But we must put our faith in God, not just in our own strength. He challenged us to break free from fear, past hurts, and offenses, so we can fully embrace the blessings and restoration God has for us. If we face our fears instead of avoiding them, they will shrink, and we will step into the breakthrough God has planned for us.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 Beliefby The River on February 6, 2025 at 3:00 am
In today's message, Pastor Jack spoke to us about the power of our beliefs in shaping our lives, emphasizing that right beliefs lead to victory in every area—relationships, finances, and personal growth. He reminded us that the gospel is not just about eternal life but also about empowering us in the present. Drawing from Romans 1:16, he highlighted that faith in God’s righteousness gives us access to His promises. Pastor Jack encouraged us to examine our belief systems, as wrong beliefs can hinder our prayers and success. He warned against wavering faith, lack of knowledge, and speaking negativity over our lives, reminding us that our words shape our future. Using practical examples, he showed how small, consistent decisions reinforce big commitments, whether in marriage, careers, or spiritual growth. Ultimately, he challenged us to keep our eyes on God’s vision for our lives, making decisions based on His truth rather than our circumstances.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!

- Take It Backby The River on February 2, 2025 at 5:00 pm
In today's message, Pastor Jack reminded us that God’s blessings are attracted to us through faith, just like a magnet. He emphasized that to take back what the enemy has stolen, we must be spiritually positioned to receive what God has already promised. Looking at scripture, Pastor Jack showed how those who had faith, like the widow in Elijah’s time and Naaman the leper, received their miracles, while others who lacked faith missed out. He encouraged us to examine our belief system—if we believe in lack, we attract lack, but if we believe in God’s abundance, we attract His provision. Pastor Jack also taught that many of God’s unconditional promises were made possible because someone met a condition of faith, and as believers, we are citizens of heaven, called to operate under God's kingdom principles rather than the world's systems. He challenged us to control our thoughts, renew our minds, and align our faith to attract the breakthroughs, healing, and success that God desires for us. As we stand firm in faith, we position ourselves to walk in the fullness of God’s blessings. Tune in now!

- Momentumby The River on January 30, 2025 at 3:00 am
In today's message, Pastor Jack spoke about the power of momentum in our lives and how it is essential for victory in every area—our faith, relationships, careers, and spiritual growth. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9:24, he encouraged us not to simply run the race but to run with the intention of winning, pressing forward with purpose and determination. Pastor Jack illustrated how lukewarmness, like stagnant water, results from a loss of momentum, reminding us that faith requires us to shift gears and keep moving forward. He emphasized setting our faith like we set features in a modern car—activating God’s automatic blessings through faith-filled action. Whether in marriage, finances, or personal growth, we must believe for more, not settle, and trust that when we set our faith, God works powerfully and supernaturally in our lives. Tune in now!

- Everything Restoredby The River on January 26, 2025 at 5:00 pm
In today's message, Pastor Jack spoke about God's promise of complete restoration, emphasizing that no matter the pain, loss, or mistakes we've experienced, God has the power to restore us emotionally, spiritually, physically, and even financially. He shared the story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings, whose faith led to her son’s miraculous resurrection and the restoration of her property with seven years of increase, demonstrating God’s ability to redeem time and circumstances. Pastor Jack reminded us that through Christ, the New Testament offers even greater promises, ensuring restoration not just externally but deep within our hearts, healing emotional wounds and brokenness. He encouraged us to trust in God's unwavering forgiveness and believe for restoration without hesitation, urging us to maintain hope, pursue God's way, and envision a future where His blessings overflow in every area of our lives.
