-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON-

River Family,

It is my prayer that the Lord is really dealing with our hearts in regard to proclaiming the good news of Jesus in the world in which we live. We have tread through some rather difficult Scriptures the past few Sundays, and I pray the Lord will continue to grow us in trusting Him and not fearing others as we share the gospel of Jesus.

This Sunday, we will focus on Matthew 10:40-42. In these verses, Jesus speaks encouraging words regarding the reception of the gospel and the unity of His people. The following passages will be helpful in preparation for Sunday:

Matthew 25:31-40 Joshua 2 and 6

We know that our salvation is based on our good works, so how do our good works correlate with our salvation?

I am looking forward to our time together this Sunday. And let us be in prayer for the persecuted church and for us to have courage to proclaim the good news of Christ through the community and world in which we live.

Grace and Peace, Eric

 Until He comes, having the mind of Christ, walk together in grace and truth.
