Breakthrough Sunday and our Next Steps


Thank you to each of you who flowed with our “unique Sunday” and invited the Holy Spirit as we engaged in a meaningful Sunday of corporate worship and prayer. Our prayer together will continue this Wednesday evening as we focus on God’s heart and direction for the River Oaks Family home and center for ministry. 

As you know, we have 8+ acres of land on Stone Spring ready for us to build a ministry center. Before building there, we will need an entrance off of Stone Spring. The estimated cost of the entrance is right around $51,000. We currently have almost $25,000 and need to raise the second half in order to put in the entrance. At our last congregational meeting, there was strong approval for moving forward with a project/plan to get the entrance completed.

As you should also be aware by now, we currently expect our lease agreement in the shopping center to be terminated sometime this year. We do not know precisely when, but we need to prepare for what we will do, and where we will go at that time. Our purpose for prayer on  Wednesday is to get God’s heart! What does He plan for us? 

Too often, we make plans that “make sense” and are “within our means” instead of going to God first to hear and sense and know His plans. His plans are not limited to our thinking and are not restricted by our resources. He gives us experience and wisdom and the ability to think things through, but he combines that with a life that is faith-driven and will trust Him for what He wants to do, even if it doesn’t “make sense” in the natural. 

So my invitation to you is to come expecting. Come ready to pray. Come prepared to approach the throne of God with Boldness as we seek together His path for River Oaks in 2019 and beyond.

We will begin our meeting at 7:00 with worship and will plan to conclude by 8:30. 

I am looking forward to praying with you,

Pastor Kevin

Have You Responded to the Invitation Today?

This past Sunday, our focus was on how much God invites us to join Him in the good things He has done and wants to do in our lives. Specifically, Jesus invites us to: Come and Rest Follow Him Live WITH Him (abide in Him) When we accept His invitations, we begin to truly be filled up more and more with Him so that we are enabled to overcome every barrier to being like Him. No, it never happens overnight. (And if you are like me, you grow impatient with the changes you want to see.) Yes, every one of us (myself included) is on a journey and needs to be reminded daily of His invitation. But He is truly at work in us, and He invites you today! Come and rest in Him, in His plan, in His timing, in His promises, in His reconciling work! Follow Him into the great purposes He has for you. His invitation is to the greatness of His life and Kingdom. Live WITH him today. Slow down. Expect Him to speak. Wait for His plans and don't move and act ahead of Him. Here is ...

Is There a God?

Great Question! How would you answer? Are you aware that you can not prove that He is? You can believe and you can see evidence, but to prove is another story. So, why DO you believe there is a God? How can you talk with those around you about this question that everyone considers at one time or another? We explored this question on Sunday. Click the link below to watch the message online now.

Special Events during our Fasting and Prayer week

SPECIAL EVENTS: I mentioned Sunday that we are joining together in an all-church time of fasting and prayer beginning this coming Sunday, February 9. Please be in prayer about your participation. How will you participate? What will you do if you know there will be a special event during the fast? Who will you ask to be a partner and encourager along the way? As a part of this season of prayer and fasting, I invite you to two special church gatherings.
