    Is All the Noise Keeping You From Hearing God? | Sunday Service

    When was the last time you were truly quiet?No phone. No television. No music. No notifications. No rushing to the next thing. Just you and God.In Week 3 of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, we move from talking about the problem of hurry to practicing the way of Jesus through two disciplines: Silence & Solitude and Sabbath.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus intentionally withdrew to quiet places. Before facing temptation in the wilderness, He spent 40 days alone with God. In the middle of a growing ministry, He got up early and went to a solitary place to pray. And when His disciples became so busy they didn't even have time to eat, Jesus told them to come away with Him and rest.The quiet place wasn't a sign of weakness for Jesus. It was where He found strength.But silence isn't simply the absence of external noise. Our homes can be quiet while our minds are screaming. Sometimes we even use constant entertainment, work, scrolling, and busyness to drown out what's happening inside us.Then there's Sabbath.The Hebrew word Shabbat carries the idea of stopping—and also of delighting. Sabbath teaches us to stop chasing more long enough to enjoy God and the life He has already given us.We don't have to experience everything.We don't have to accomplish everything.We don't have to finish everything today.We can stop because God is still God when we aren't working.Maybe unhurrying your life doesn't begin with finding more time.Maybe it begins by intentionally becoming quiet, getting alone with God, and remembering how to stop.Silence. Solitude. Sabbath.It's time to practice the pace of Jesus.ROLC exists to see a real God flowing through real people.💻 www.rolc.church📲 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook: @rolc_churchLove People 🩶Reach The Lost 🛟Teach Believers 📖Serve The Community 🤝WELCOME HOME

    Saying No To The Right Things | Sunday Service

    You can’t do it all. That may not sound encouraging—but accepting our limitations might actually be one of the first steps toward the life Jesus is inviting us into. In Week 2 of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, we move from identifying the problem of hurry to beginning to address the solution. We all have the same 24 hours, yet we continually try to fit more into them. Work, family, relationships, responsibilities, entertainment, social media, and endless distractions can leave us with little margin for the things that matter most. The reality is that we are limited creations. We have limits physically, emotionally, relationally, financially, and even in the season of life we're currently in. Instead of constantly fighting those limits, what if we learned to embrace them? Jesus offers another way. In Matthew 11:28–30, He invites the tired and worn out to come to Him and learn His “unforced rhythms of grace.” Following Jesus isn't simply believing in Him—it means becoming His apprentice and learning to organize our lives around His way of living. And Jesus was rarely in a hurry. This message challenges us to intentionally create margin—space in our schedules and lives to hear God, be present with people, rest, and become more like Jesus. You don't need to figure out how to fit everything in. You may need to decide what doesn't belong. Unbusy your schedule. Unhurry your soul. Learn the rhythms of Jesus.

    Is Hurry Hurting Your Walk With Jesus? | Sunday Service

    We’re busier, more connected, and moving faster than ever—but are we actually becoming more like Jesus?In Week 1 of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, we identify the problem. Hurry has become so normal that many of us don’t even recognize what it’s doing to our relationships, our families, our peace, and ultimately our spiritual lives.Jesus offers us a completely different way to live.In Matthew 11, He invites the weary and burdened to come to Him, take His yoke, and learn His way of living—a way described as easy and light.This series begins with a challenging question:When you look at your life 20–30 years from now, what do you hope your story will be?Because following Jesus isn’t simply about believing the right things. It’s about becoming His apprentice and allowing His way of life to reshape ours.If we want to become more like Jesus, we may first have to confront one of the greatest enemies of our spiritual lives:Hurry.It’s time to unbusy our schedules, unhurry our souls, and learn how to live at the pace of Jesus.ROLC exists to see a real God flowing through real people.💻 www.rolc.church📲 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook: @rolc_churchLove People 🩶Reach The Lost 🛟Teach Believers 📖Serve The Community 🤝WELCOME HOME

    Still Standing - 20 Year Anniversary Celebration | Sunday Service

    Twenty years. Countless lives changed. And God is still writing the story. In this special 20th Anniversary Service, we celebrate what God has done through River of Life Church and honor the faithfulness of Pastors Mike and Kristy through every season of ministry. These messages remind us that longevity doesn’t happen by accident. There are seasons of opportunity, seasons of opposition, moments of breakthrough, and moments when quitting would make sense. But faithfulness means continuing to hear God, obey His voice, and trust Him with what comes next. In Acts 26, Paul could look back on everything he had endured and say, “To this day I have had the help that comes from God.” His perseverance wasn’t a testimony to his own strength—it was a testimony to the God who sustained him. That same truth is at the heart of 20 years of ROLC. There have been good days.There have been hard days.There have been seasons when quitting would have been easier. But they remained—and because they remained, countless people have been impacted. We are reminded in 2 Corinthians 4 that we may be afflicted, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down—but we are not destroyed. The power that keeps us standing has never belonged to us. It belongs to God. So today we celebrate the past, but we also look toward the future. Thank God for 20 years.Thank God for His faithfulness.Thank God, we’re still standing.And the story isn’t finished yet.

    The Enemy Steals. Jesus Restores. | Sunday Service

    Jesus didn’t come so that we could simply survive—He came so that we could have life, and have it more abundantly.In John 10:10, Jesus draws a clear contrast between the work of the enemy and His own purpose for our lives. The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus comes bringing something completely different: abundant life.The enemy wants to steal your joy, peace, love, finances, dreams, dignity, and sense of worth. What he cannot steal, he seeks to kill and destroy. But that isn’t where the story ends.Jesus offers a life that overflows.Abundant peace.Abundant joy.Purpose.Vision.Healthy relationships.Dreams worth pursuing.The Christian life isn’t about barely making it through. Jesus came to restore what the enemy has tried to take and lead us into the fullness of life found in Him.The question is: Are you living the abundant life Jesus came to give you?ROLC exists to see a real God flowing through real people.💻 www.rolc.church📲 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook: @rolc_churchLove People 🩶Reach The Lost 🛟Teach Believers 📖Serve The Community 🤝WELCOME HOME

    Are You Fighting to Win or Just Trying to Survive? | Sunday Service

    The Christian life was never meant to be lived constantly on defense.In this message, “In It to Win It,” we look at what it means to stop living reactively and begin taking an active stand for the things God has placed in our lives.Scripture repeatedly shows people who refused to back down. The woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd. Paul pressed toward the prize. David didn’t cautiously approach Goliath—he ran toward the battle. And Shammah stood his ground when everyone else ran and defended what had been entrusted to him.This message challenges us to:Stop waiting for the enemy to make the first moveRecognize the spiritual battle happening around usFight for our families, marriages, calling, and destinyWalk in the authority God has already given usDevelop the tenacity to stand when everyone else retreatsEphesians 6 reminds us that our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. We have a real enemy—but God has not left us defenseless.You weren’t given the armor of God so you could hide.You were equipped to stand.You’re in it. Now fight like you intend to win.ROLC exists to see a real God flowing through real people.💻 www.rolc.church📲 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook: @rolc_churchLove People 🩶Reach The Lost 🛟Teach Believers 📖Serve The Community 🤝WELCOME HOME

    What Is Truly in You? | ROLC Midweek

    You don’t always know what’s truly inside something until pressure is applied. Olives release oil when they’re crushed. Grapes release juice under pressure. And when life squeezes us through disappointment, grief, betrayal, fear, or uncertainty, what has been stored in our hearts begins to come out. In this message, “What Is Truly in You?”, we look at what difficult seasons reveal about our relationship with God—and how the Holy Spirit gives us something deeper to draw from when life becomes overwhelming. Through Scripture and the life of David, we see that hardship doesn’t have to leave us bitter, cynical, fearful, or defeated. God wants His Word written on our hearts and His Spirit living within us so that when pressure comes, faith, strength, trust, and dependence on Him are what rise to the surface. David experienced rejection, loss, betrayal, failure, family turmoil, and seasons where everything around him seemed to fall apart. Yet he continually returned to one truth: the Lord was with him. Pressure will reveal what has been planted inside you. So the question is not simply, “What are you going through?” The question is: What is truly in you?
