River Valley Church

John Bevere reminded us of the awe of God found in holiness. Preaching from Ephesians 1:4 and 1 Peter 1:14-15, he shared that we are called to live set apart, not just in position but in our daily conduct.

Pastor Jamer Shrum encouraged us to be the light. Preaching from Matthew 5:13-16, he reminded us that we are called to shine brightly for Jesus. We are called to live our lives on earth set apart. Sharing the Good News so that others may be drawn to the light of Christ.

Pastor Kirk Graham reminded us that Jesus is coming back, what a day that will be! One day we’ll see Him face to face, free from all shame, pain and sorrow, living in His Forever Glory. Until then, we live holy and expectant, loving with hopeful anticipation for our King’s return.

We live for God's Forever Glory story. Our lives are part of His greater story. But many in our culture have “walked off the page,” trying to write their own story apart from Him. Pastor Rob reminds us that without God at the center, we lose our sense of purpose, meaning, identity and hope. Now more than ever, people are open and we’re called to invite them back into the story they were always meant to live.

Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge Choir came to sing songs of praise and worship and share powerful testimonies of what God is doing in their lives.
