Be enriched and encouraged as you listen to the latest talks and music from River Church. We believe in a personal relationship with God which is made possible by the life, death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ; and that relationship affects everything we do. Our experience is that the supernatural power of God, which we read about in the Bible, can still be known today in our own lives (You can expect one to three new MP3 podcast episodes each week).

Mission is the presence of God’s kingdom that often confronts prevailing culture. What does it take to be a pilgrim? Pilgrims stay open to the Spirit and keep learning about their faith; understand that God is always working, going ahead of us; and carry God’s grace to be a blessing to others.By Paul Wratten

Mission is often pragmatic. How is God leading you? Choose to see His hand, and don’t give up. Need a turning point? Set you minds on things above, praise & pray. God will work a wonder - in your circumstances, or in your heart (but probably both!)(Apologies, no video version this week)By Colin Barnes

Sabbath isn’t just a day to stop, rest, and throw a feast in community. Ultimately, it’s a holy day — set apart for and dedicated to God himself. Early Christians called it “the Lord’s Day.” It’s a weekly day of worship by which we cultivate a spirit of worship all week long.By Practicing The Way

The word “sabbath” means “to stop.” In Genesis, God worked for six days but then rested on the seventh. In doing so, he built a rhythm into the fabric of creation. When we live in alignment with this ancient rhythm, we find peace and joy, but when we fight it, we fracture our souls.By Practicing The Way
