River Of Life - Cold Spring

Exodus 3 Hearing from God in a crisis is essential. In Genesis, God said, "Let there be light, and there was light." In your crisis, speak light into your darkness. What is God saying? Some of you are asking, "Does God speak?" Are the people that say that God is speaking to them crazy? Or is God really speaking to them? We know that at any moment, God can speak light into your situation. When He speaks, there is peace, confidence, and clarity. In crisis, in transition, or in lonely moments, you need to know His will. You want to hear from God! When God speaks, you go from panic to peace. In this message, Pastor Denny speaks on the life and trials of Moses. In Exodus 3, an angel of the Lord appears to Moses in flames of fire from within a bush. God speaks to Moses in a mighty and powerful way in a critical season of His people. When God spoke, it was unique to that individual. God wants our experience with Him, and His voice, to be personal to us. He wants us to trust in the promise, not the process! He

Understanding misconceptions about God's will for your life. Spring is here, and we cannot be more excited about the warmer temperatures and new life it brings! Spring is about newness and growth.

Life has fears and risks. We face them every single day. We are walking in uncertain times; hysteria and reports in our media that cause worry, fear, or stress. In this message, Pastor Denny Curran answers the question, “How do we survive tough times?” Mark 4:35-41 In Mark 4, the disciples were in the biggest storm they’ve ever experienced. The wind and waves crashed around them. In one moment, Jesus stood up and calmed the squall. The questions of Jesus in their storm and ours is “Why are you afraid?” The disciples were ALL afraid. It’s human nature to be afraid in a crisis! Too often, we live as the disciples and exclude God, allowing ourselves to live in fear. It’s not the absence of storms that make us different, it’s the ONE we discover in the boat. To get through tough times, we must focus. Our perspective can show us an obstacle or an opportunity. Don’t focus on the things that bring you down. The disciples focused on the wind and waves crashing around them, the lightning and thunder hiding the sh

FULL ONLINE SERVICE “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” -Acts 2:4 This week, we end our current series on the Holy Spirit as we discuss the third person of the Trinity. Jesus commanded His disciples to be filled with the Holy Spirit! Some may still be asking the question, WHY do I need the Holy Spirit? In this week’s message, we learn that the Holy Spirit empowers us to live righteously! When we are led by the Spirit, things get exciting! Next, the Holy Spirit empowers us to live supernaturally! You can be a christian and live your life “naturally,” but it’s not God’s plan for you! Jesus lived a supernatural life - operating out of healing, signs and wonders, and miracles. John 14:12 - 14 says “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorifie

“Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we know the things freely given to us by God.” - 1 Cor. 2:9 - 14 We have the Spirt of God living inside of us from the moment we are saved. If you’ve given your life to Jesus, the Holy Spirit LIVES inside of you. Our subject this weekend is praying in tongues. There are many misunderstandings or concerns about this gift. In this message, Pastor Tim leads a conversation (part 2 - see 1st message from 03.07.20) about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. There are two types of tongues; personal tongue and public tongue. Personal tongues is praying in the spirit. It is for every christian. If you’re a christian, God has designed the richness and ability to pray out of the spirit bucket. This also encourages the individual who’s praying. It doesn’t require attention - it’s simply between you and the Lord. Public tongue (utterance) is des

If you can trust God to guide you to speak in the unknown language, how much more can you trust him to guide your known language to minister to others? This weekend, guest speaker Tim Enloe, joined us to share his special teachings on the Holy Spirit. If you desire more in your relationship with the Lord, we invite you to listen to these teachings and grow in your knowledge of the Holy Spirit.

“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” - Acts 2:4 NIV We need an experience with the Holy Spirit. The reason why we are doing a Holy Spirit series is because we all come from different backgrounds. Everyone has their own “normal,” but “normal” is different from someone else’s normal. This happens because we were all raised differently. Our current series, “Guide for the Journey,” provides teaching about the Holy Spirit us all to get on the same page. In the Bible, we learn that the Jewish tradition has 7 festivals / holidays in a year to celebrate. This week, we learned about three of these holidays. The Passover Celebration represents our salvation. The Story of Jesus is the redemption of our sins. Next, we talk about the Celebration of Pentecost. Pentecost was a celebration of the first harvest where we receive the Holy Spirit. The day of Pentecost gave us the power to make a difference in our world. Finally, we learned about the Cele

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” - Acts 1:8 The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in our life. He has a role to play in our life! At River of Life Church, its our goal to lead you and feed you a balance of scripture to make you strong and solid in your faith - which results in a great future! This week, we dived into another teaching on the Holy Spirit and it’s parallel to wind. Wind is unseen but felt, and oftentimes when we experience God’s presence, it’s just that. Wind is also unpredictable. God doesn’t reveal Himself to people the same way every time. It’s different! We need to embrace the unpredictable nature of God. Wind is powerful! When we experience God, He transforms us and creates for us a greater life. If you’re struggling in your marriage, your job, your finances, etc. - we can turn to God and ask for His presence and power to work in our life. Finally, wind is refr

According to the Word of God, when WE allow the Holy Spirit to fully dwell in our lives, He produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. All of these qualities and more are the natural byproducts of enjoying the Holy Spirit’s presence and friendship in our lives! This week, we kicked off a brand new series on the Holy Spirit and the things that Jesus promises for us. In John 14, we read that there is an advocate to help us in times of trouble, questioning, hurting, etc. In today's world, we live in fear and stress on a daily basis. The Holy Spirit promises to help us through these things. Along with these promises, the Holy Spirit offers us power. With this power, we have limitless potential. He reveals this through time, like unwrapping a present piece by piece. Finally, the Holy Spirit offers us His presence. This presence leads us into a life of fulfillment in Christ. We invite you to listen to today's message and feel free to use the notes provided below!

At River of Life, we exist to lead people in a life changing encounter with Jesus. This week, Pastor Denny Curran talked about the importance of our relationship with Christ as well as a church community. It's our desire for every person to know God - the God who sets you free from hurt, addiction, and hangups. We want you to grow in Christ. When we grow in Christ, we discover purpose and all that God has for us. Lastly, we want you to show Christ in the way that you live your life. In this message, we offer practical ways for you to know God, grow in your relationship with Him, and show the love of Christ to those around you.
