Advent reminds us that God is always faithful to show up. But He often shows up in unexpected ways that don’t fit our preferred method or timetable. This Sunday, Pastor Sarah reminds us that if God is willing to show up as a baby to rescue humanity then He’ll go to any length for you. Awaken the Wonder of God’s faithfulness…
We enter Advent with a joyful longing for a deeper revealing of Jesus. We consider the things we have allowed to clutter our souls and set our hearts to experience a fresh incarnation.By River Church Charlotte
Being thankful isn’t just a response to the good things that happen in life. It’s a reorienting of your mindset so you can gracefully endure the difficult things. Grumbling and complaining are the status quo of our culture and it’s so easy to go with the flow of negativity. But gratitude is a grace that you can tap into regardless of what your circ…

Facing a trial almost always feels like taking a step backward. But taking a step back is not always a bad thing. It’s often exactly what we needed to assess our situation and more clearly see the obstacles in our path. God will get glory through the thing that is keeping us from our destiny because impossible situations are His specialty. In this …
We all have various titles and ways by which we are known. What others say about us matters, but not as much as what we say about ourselves. This Sunday, we will unwrap five lies the enemy tries to tell us about our identity and uncover the truth of who God says we are.By River Church Charlotte
We all love a good home makeover or car restoration. The look on the owner’s face is priceless when their old, decrepit car or dilapidated home is brought back to pristine condition. We live for the reveal of the restoration. Each of us is God's restoration project. He’s working day and night to breathe fresh life that returns us to a better than o…
We are living in a time of revelation. Revelation has so many facets. It can expose our motives and mindsets, bring us into new ways of thinking, and uncover old mysteries. But one thing all revelation should do is point us to greater truth and give us a better understanding of the amazing grace of Jesus. This Sunday, Pastor Derek discusses how we …
Where do you turn to pursue God’s wisdom. What do you do when faced with trouble? Many lose all their joy never realizing that living a joy-filled life is part of their inheritance. Many forfeit the refreshing that can come even in times of adversity. Refreshing joy is always available when we fully expect to experience the Presence of God each day…
Coming out of quarantine and easing into a new rhythm can be a tricky proposition. Since March we’ve been thrust into a disruptive schedule and a disturbing atmosphere of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. But take heart! You were born for these times.

When you’re working on changing things in your life, motivation is everything. If you lack motivation you’ll never achieve what you desire. What motivates you? What fuels your passion to be the best you can be? Jesus was motivated to give his life so we could experience his. Jesus let compassion be the motivation for every choice he made and he’s e…
We tend to define courage by the heroic acts of others that risk their own life to save another. Rightfully so, but then we say things like, “I could never be that brave!” We minimize our capacity for mighty acts when we compare ourselves to the highlight reels of others. But true courage has many different faces like the person battling cancer, th…
A.W. Tozer says, “What I believe about God is the most important thing about me.” If our lives are intricately tied to what we believe about God then we’d better get it right. The problem is where to look for an accurate picture of God. The solution is Jesus! He alone is what God has to say about Himself. Holding firm to this belief is the surest w…
Navigating this pandemic and the chaos in our country is difficult. We long for a return to “normal” (whatever that is) and we just want it all to be over. But Jesus reminds us that where sin abounds grace abounds much, much more! Grace is available to those who remember that God will have the final say. It’s time to look back and remember so we ca…
