River’s Edge Church

Vision Series 2019 - One Body Many Parts

As we set our sights on the year ahead, we believe that God is bringing us into a “new era” as a church, and one of the things that will mark this new era is that God is leading us to be a Kingdom people, not kings. 

Vision Series 2019 - The Role of the Spirit

As we set our sights on the year ahead, we believe that God is bringing us into a "new era" as a church, and that one of the things that will mark this new era is greater reliance on the Holy Spirit. 

Vision Series 2019 - Pray

As Paul ends his letter to the Ephesians, he asks them to keep on praying for all the Lord's people, and to pray that the Gospel would be proclaimed fearlessly, as it should. At River's Edge we believe God is calling us to rely on prayer as we never have before, and so took this Sunday to set our sights on some of the things God is calling us to pray for as we step into a new year together.

Ephesians - Spiritual Warfare

As Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesians, he takes the topic of spiritual warfare head on - urging us to put on the full armor of God. 

Ephesians - Submit to One Another

As Paul enters the second half of Ephesians, he unpacks how we live out the new identity that God has given us in Christ, and in chapter 5 he takes aim at the marriage and the home. His words have become controversial but they remain as relevant for us today as they have ever been. 

Ephesians - Unity and Participation

As Paul moves into the second half of his letter, he reminds us that we are the body of Christ, and therefore we should strive to maintain the unity that Christ has already set in motion. Additionally, as the body, we each are gifted by God with something and we are called to participate. 

Ephesians - Put on the New

After three full chapters of celebrating who God is and what He has done for us, Paul finally turns the corner and talks about how we should live and why. But his message is counterintuitive. In essence, Paul says, "become who you already are."

Ephesians - The Dividing Wall

In the first century the world was divided into two categories: Jew, and Gentile. The division between them was a fierce one, but what effect did the Gospel have on their division? And how should it affect the "dividing walls of hostility" that we face today? 

Ephesians - By Grace Through Faith

In Christ God has set out to solve the age old problem of sin, death, and the corruption of humanity. But what is the nature of our salvation and how does it reflect God's character? 

Isaiah - Idolatry

Israel (and humanity) have a problem - we are prone toward idolatry. But what did idolatry look like in Israel and why is it significant for us today?
