The River - Durant, OK

6/5/17 Everything we receive from God starts with faith. You can't receive from God without faith. Your faith plays the determining role in what you believe, and what you believe is largely determined by the Word of God that you have received.

06/12/16 You are the temple of God! We continue here in part 2 of the Aspects of the Temple to look at how the detailed aspects of the temple in the Old Testament apply to you.

05/15/16 Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" God usurped all of our biases in pouring out His Spirit on all flesh, despite gender, race, age or status.

04/17/16 There are two distinct messages being taught in churches, but there is only one gospel.

04/10/16 We all go through challenges of faith. Today we look to Elijah's contest at Mount Carmel, one of the greatest stories of a clear challenge of faith. How did Elijah deal with this challenge of faith and what can we glean from his experience?

03/20/16 Throughout the Bible and even today, God has been revealing more and more of Himself to His people. He worked with their understanding and brought them further in their revelation of Him. God continues to reveal Himself today through the Holy Spirit!

03/06/16 There's a lot of focus in the church on God's glory, but what brings God glory? Grace brings God glory! Paul talked about the praise of the glory of God's grace. We have to talk about God's glorious grace.

02/28/16 It is essential that we understand the goodness of God. We explore God's interaction with Abraham in Genesis 18 to see God's goodness. God has standards and one of His standards for Himself is to keep His covenants. God will not judge the righteous because that would be unjust and contrary to His covenant with them. We appologize for errors in the recordings of recent podcasts. We are looking into the issue!

02/21/16 This recording is missing some of the beginning of the message. So to follow along, start off in Matthew 13 with the parable of the sower. Today we look at this parable for signs that fruit is on its way in our lives.

02/07/16 Revelation: Open their eyes. Revolution: Turn them from darkness to light. Restoration: Turn them from the power of Satan to God. Reconciliation: Forgive them of their sins. Remuneration: Payback - inheritance.

01/17/16 The law of the tithe goes back before Malachi, before "The Law". In fact, it's origins may even stem before Abraham offered the first recorded tithe.

01/10/16 The Five Laws of the New Covenant are the Laws of the Harvest. They are not things that are forced on you. They are things that we willingly comply with. Today we continue with this study of the New Covenant Laws starting with the Law of Righteousness.

12/13/15 Christmas is all about the covenant and the seed. God made a covenant with Abraham that had to be fulfilled through Jesus, the seed. And the seed will always produce a harvest.

11/15/15 God has put callings and giftings in your life. Those giftings are not there on accident. They are there to fulfill a need in this world. Your creator thinks highly of you and has purposed to use you.

11/01/15 God has a purpose for your life. All the things that the enemy has brought against you for evil, God is working together for your good. You can have confidence that God is always on your side.

10/18/15 We are not "unworthy". Jesus' work made us worthy. We were the prize set before Him. He set us higher than the angels, children and co-heirs with Christ.

09/27/15 Guarding your mind starts with guarding your heart. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. We can bring our thoughts into captivity and fill our mind with the word of God.

09/06/15 We continue where we left off, looking at the different types of prayer. Prayers for supply. Prayers for others. Bible prayers. And the thanksgiving that should be a part of our everyday prayer life.

08/30/15 Starting in 1 Timothy 2:1, we examine prayer in its different forms. Supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgiving. Prayer is powerful. It's more than purposeful thinking or meditation. Prayer is a spoken communication with God.

08/16/15 We live in a new day. We live by faith, but the law is not of faith. We are no longer under the law. We are under grace through faith.

08/09/2015 In Matthew 15, a canaanite woman teaches us a lot about faith. She was persistent, convinced of the goodness and mercy of Jesus. Her faith stood strong on the ground that God's will was her daughters well being.

07/12/2015 God has given you giftings and capabilities. You don't have to be afraid of missing God's will if you just follow what He has put in you. His favor rests on you!

06/28/2015 Joseph never apologized for the favor of God on His life. Others came against him because of it. He was mocked and mistreated, but God's favor never abandoned him. God exalted him.

06/14/2015 Our amazing Pastor, Ann Hollar, discusses the heavenly places that we are seated in with Christ. We are not seated in A heavenly place. We are seated in Heavenly places, where God has prepared everything that we need for life and godliness.

Righteousness is one of the biggest subjects in the Bible and the most important subject when it comes to our relationship with God. But most people don't understand how you become righteous or how you keep your righteousness. Join us as we remind our hearts of what this condition of righteousness really is.

There was a lot that the disciples did not understand when Jesus spoke to them, especially about His own death and resurrection. What about us? Do we take the time to understand the meaning and significance of Christ's resurrection?

God's Work has been finished since the foundation of the World, and He has called us to enter into that rest. We are called to cease from all of our labor. But what does that mean? What did it look like in Jesus' life and in His training of the disciples?

Redemption is not just the end. Redemption has a purpose. It is FOR something.

It may seem like a simple concept, but our minds cannot even grasp the greatness of the goodness of the Lord. God's goodness is revealed in a new way in Christ and the new covenant.

In the New Covenant, the Blood of Jesus has made you perfect. Jesus obtained ETERNAL life for us, and you have that LIFE right now.

God is speaking to you and you have the ability to hear Him. Not only that, but Jesus has restored your ability to talk to God. When God speaks to you, He doesn't speak about what you lack. He speaks to you about Who You Are in Him. You get in and stay in by Grace Alone, and in that grace you become a joint heir with Christ.

Paul was bold enough to say, "Follow Me," a phrase which Jesus was well-known for. Paul's doctrine should be the primary doctrine of the church, because it is the message that Jesus gave for the Gentiles. It is the message of grace, God's unmerited, unearned favor on you.

No one is exempt from the need for a Spiritual Father. Paul was a Father in the faith who told others to follow him as he followed Christ. There are lots of preachers but not enough Fathers.

Our special guest speaker talks about deliverance and how to stand in faith.

Our theme for this year is Exalt, Edify, and Evangelize. We exist to exalt the Lord, Edify the church, and Evangelize the world. This is the first of a two part series exploring these three themes in the beginning of Isaiah 54. Unfortunately this recording is missing the beginning of th sermon, but you join in a good place to see what it is all about!

There is a significant shift in the way God speaks from the days of the Old Testament to now. The message for these last days is that you are saved by faith alone. For HE, by Himself, purged our sins.

Why didn't Jesus just sacrifice himself as a baby? Why did He choose to live 30+ years and walk this earth, if he had only come to die? Jesus had things to do on this earth. In this episode we talk about these things.

Don't let go of your passions and desires. God has put them in your heart for a reason. Ignore the ignorant. Pray with expectation. Do your part.

Success is within your grasp, but there are many things that tend to make us miss it. Numbers 13 and 14 shows us seven things that delayed the success of the Israelites in their goal of entering the Promise Land.

There are two kinds of faith. There is a gift of faith and a faith you must grow in your heart. The Bible tells us how to receive and release our faith in this life.

On Staff Appreciation Sunday, we also honor all of our volunteers who do so much to help the church and this world. Jesus served. He went around doing good. Volunteer ministry is an amazing expression of the transformation that Christ has made of you and it cultivates even greater opportunities.

The Five Fold Ministry is for the equipping of the Saints to bring us to the place where we have unity of faith, an understanding of the family of God, and an understanding that we have the Ultimate Fullness.

Guest Speaker, James Read, shares the story of Stephen, a Helenistic Jew who was a man of faith, grace, and of the Holy Spirit. No matter your history, no matter how people see you, you can be a man of faith, grace, and the Holy Spirit also. God has equipped you for your calling!

Your actions do not dictate what you believe. What you believe dictates your actions. God wants to correct the sin of unbelief in man and restore us to the truth: The truth of His Love, His Grace, and Our Place in Him.

When you give your life to the Lord, at first it may seem all about yourself, but the Lord has a bigger plan and purpose for you. You can impact, impart, and empower in this life.

Justification settles your Past. Peace empowers your Present. Grace secures your Future.

When Jesus took our place, that wasn't the whole exchange. We exchanged death for life and so much more.

The story of Naaman is a fantastic story of faith, repentance, and grace.

There was a secret that Jesus kept from the Jews while He was on earth. And that secret was You!

It is the will of God for you to have the best of everything. God doesn't want you to live in the land of Just Enough, but the land of Abundance!

The second part of a message on unforgiveness. We don't forgive to be forgiven. We forgive because we are forgiven.
