Three Keys to Sharing God with Others

Why is it so hard to talk about God? What keeps us from naturally sharing what is most important to us in our lives? 

One of the most significant problems we have is that we haven't embraced the truism that people don't care to hear what we have to say until they know we care about them. In other words, most Christians became Christians through existing relationships, friendships, and connections. Therefore, it is imperative that we embrace our purpose of connecting with others in a loving and caring and genuine way. 

On Sunday we looked at three areas of life we can work on allow room for talking about God naturally with others. You can watch the message online here.



Three challenges received from Colossians 4:2-6 are:
  1. Begin with Prayer
  2. Be aware of our Conduct
  3. Make sure our Speech (conversations) are helpful
How is it with you in these areas? Here are our "Taking it Home" points we can be working on this week:
  1. How can I engage more in building relationships with "outsiders"?
  2. To whom is God leading me?
  3. What is holding me back from connecting and building relationships? 

EXPLORE GOD 

In September, we will participate with 10 other churches and ministries in Harrisonburg. The campaign creates opportunities to build relationships and have open and honest discussions around Seven Key Questions. You can lead a discussion group and we would love to host 8-10 from River Oaks church. The locations can be in your home, in a public place, or in the workplace. You ask God where He wants you to be available. 

If you are interested in hosting a discussion group, please let us know right away. We look forward to equipping you and getting the word out about each group. 

Thanks for praying about it! Let us know by clicking HERE if you are interested.

Be blessed and walk in God's love and grace,
Pastor Kevin

Why Do People Leave the Church?

This event is coming to Woodstock, and I would like to invite everyone to attend with me. Here is your chance to experience an Apologetics conference that will (I believe) be encouraging to your faith and confidence in what is truth. Happening, next weekend, March 7 and 8. https://www.faithandreasonapologetics.com/mary-jo-sharp/ In over 30 years of ministry, there is one aspect of church life that young people have shared with me that has caused them to leave a church. It has also been a primary purpose for them, leaving the Christian faith in general. And here it is, The unhealthy, emotional, and spiritual immaturity of life-long church attenders and believers. These have been people whom they wanted to trust and look up to, but who have lived with an offense, trivial criticalness, judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, inability to relate to current culture, church hurt, etc. These have been some of the most significant factors influencing young people to walk away from the chur...

Keep Silent

Let All the Earth Keep Silent Sunday's message focused on learning to be silent. Silence is perhaps one of the most counter-cultural disciplines we can enter into as Christians. We were challenged to spend 2 minutes of silence twice a day in order to begin shifting our busy and noisy lives. How has your silence been? Have you been able to make time to be silent? If so, what has it been like? We would love to hear. Click here to let us know. If you missed the service, you can watch it by clicking below.
