We are continuing to hear from Denny and his "favorites": topics he's been spending almost 40 years of ministry developing and teaching that has brought the greatest life change to many! Priorities are hard for us to establish, especially in a culture that is ever changing. If you need a guide, take a listen to this message, and see where you stand on your priorities!

This week, Denny dives into the wonder of marriage, God's intention, and who are in Christ and how we are meant to love others. Married or not, these tenets of relationship apply to every area and conversation!

We are heading into week three of our missions series, and we are joined by special guest speaker Jody Dyess. He represents FREE International, an organization that seeks to free young men and women from modern day slavery. His message is inspiring, and ultimately convicting, as he talks about his experiences, and the call that we all have to move and act as a church. We hope you enjoy this message!

We are in week two of our series on missions, especially the impact we have for heaven and WITH heaven. We are joined by Kirby St. John, our District Youth Director, and one of the leading supporters and pioneers for Speed the Light, an organization that works to supply missionaries with the tools needed to build water wells for countries in need. Enjoy this powerful message, and be encouraged for all that God is doing!

We are stepping into our missions month with a message that is difficult to walk through at times. Faith inspires hope, commitment, and ultimately, a radical way of thinking. But hope also requires us to give up of our control, and trust that the Lord is continuing a work in each of us to stir our faith and to increase it! We hope you enjoy this weeks message!

We are taking a break from our series and instead setting our focus on what is ahead: the future of River of Life Church. Pastor Denny is looking ahead to the great things in store for River of Life by remembering the great things God has done in the past. But we don't look to the past for inspiration, but give thanks and praise, and to stir our faith for what God has in store! Enjoy this weekends message.

We are finishing up our series on altars; creating moments to experience the power and intimacy with the Holy Spirit. This week Kyle is sharing on the ways we hold tightly to our lives and all that is in it, and how this will only lead to destruction. Once we surrender, we open up a life of abundance found in Christ.

This week we have a special guest. Matt McPherson (Matthews Archery, McPherson Guitars). Pastor Denny and him sit together and discuss his life, his success in business, and ultimately, what he attributes all of this to: His faith in Jesus Christ. We hope you enjoy their conversation!

We are excited to kick off this year with our new series on altars. The Spirit of God is often missed, not because He isn't talked about, but because we limit His capabilities and restorative grace in our life. Jesus said He will send a helper after he ascends the earth, and the Holy Spirit allows us to live the life that Jesus talks about. Enjoy our first week!

We have a special guest with us this weekend: Jacques Von Bommel. Jacques hails in South Africa and has a ministry that is focused on reaching the next generation. His heart is to see his nation know the Lord, and his many areas of influence are shadowed by his humility and heart for the lost. We hope you enjoy his message!

We are on week two of our Christmas season, The Gift. The gift of life is life in Jesus, but also recognizing the gift isn't earned. Our gift from Jesus brings life, but we often don't receive the gift with open and ready hearts. Pastor Denny walks us through this process, and the hope we have in Christ!

We are launching our Christmas series this week on a relevant topic: gifts. But not the gifts that we are used to receiving. Our ultimate gift from God isn't tangible things, but things that feed and fuel the spirit. We are glad to have you join us this week as guest Pastor Kirby St. John kicks us off!

We are taking a break from our typical Sunday morning experience and allowing the kids to minister! They have spent months putting together a program that will amaze, inspire, and lead you to the heart of God. We hope you enjoy this presentation!

This week, we are breaking from our series and listening to a message on faith. Specifically, OWNING your faith. Many of us come from traditions or cultural experiences when it comes to faith, but God has made it clear in His word it isn't about what we do, but who we are, and specifically, who we are in Christ.

Our purpose in Christ is to make disciples of all nations, and God has created us with a unique purpose with various different ways to live this out. For some of us, this includes how we run our business and ultimately the dreams and ambitions God has laid on our hearts! The enemy isn't unaware of this, however, and it is important we don't grow weary in doing good, and the good God has called us to through our business. Listen and be encouraged to trust in God with everything He has blessed...

We are in week two of our series Battle Fatigue, and the purpose God has for each us in this battle against the forces of darkness. This week, we have our youth pastor Kyle speaking about the brokenness in our world, and the impact that we can make if we are willing to step up on their behalf. STL is a great organization that seeks to help this who are without clean water, while also establishing home bases for churches to reach their community. Enjoy this message!

We are jumping into a new series about staying on the OFFENSIVE when often times it feels you are on the DEFENSIVE. The enemy desires to steal, kill, and destroy, but often times it's through our time and through exhaustion. We find strength in the Lord, the Word of God, and His promises. Let's join together and encourage one another in faith!

Thanks for doing us again! We have Kyle Curran, our youth pastor, bringing a message of staying alert, and letting go of past hurts, trauma, and actions that cause us to live in the vicious cycles we can so easily find ourselves in. If we are not careful, the decision to follow into darkness can become second nature to us and ultimately become OUR nature. Enjoy this week, and be praying with us!

Thanks for doing us again! Addiction is no stranger to many of us. And those who are addicted often brush aside the true nature of their dependency. However, there is FREEDOM in Christ, if we are willing to surrender everything we are to Him. It's as easy as confessing our sin, asking forgiveness, and making Him the only One you will follow. Join us this week to find ways to overcome addiction!

Our second week of our new series is up! This week, Pastor Kirby St. John, Minnesota AG District Youth Director, is visiting and sharing his heart. Learning to understand the ploys of the enemy will always bring clarity, but knowledge is not enough if you aren't aware of the truth. The Word of God is effective in destroying the tactics of the enemy, but we need to constantly consume His word. John 6 speaks of the importance of feasting on the Bread of Life, and allowing our spirits to be...

The enemy of our souls constantly barrages us with things to fear, doubt, and divide us from the good and perfect will God has for us. When we are able to know who our TRUE friends are and what TRUE community looks like, it will be much more difficult to trust the enemy. Enjoy week one of our series!

We have special guest Reggie Dabbs sharing a message of redemption and connection with Jesus. His immense talent was powerful on stage, and we were blessed to share with our church community his testimony, and ultimately, his purpose he found in Jesus!

We are jumping into our new series this week, and the course went a little different than we had planned! Pastor Denny felt a pressing to talk about healings, and this was confirmed throughout the service multiple times. We believe our God is active in this way, and we came and agreed as a church. We hope this message inspires you to seek more of the Gospel and the heart of Jesus!

We have some special guests this weekend! Caden and Kienna St. John, both kids of our District Youth Director, bring their talents together to show the passion and purpose God has for our next generation, and the ways He is leading us into His Truth. We hope you enjoy this service just as much as we did!

This week, we are diving into one of God's greatest gifts to humanity... sex. Its unique and intentional purpose is so often misconstrued and defeating, and our culture's view of it has often diluted it to being something that is casual. God details His great plan for it in His word, and Pastor Denny is taking this issue head on to bring light to the truth of this gift! Disclaimer: all of our services are family friendly, but we do offer kids services to meet their age in person and online....
