In the Scripture we see that God has set the times and places where people live (Acts 17:26) and that governing leaders are to restrain evil and protect the people under their care (Romans 13:1-3). We also see God command His people to love the immigrant as he loves himself (Leviticus 19:33-34). Christians sometimes have different views on borders and immigration, and we will look at three biblical tensions to hold.

Join Eric, his daughter Eden, and Teaching Pastor Christine Caine for an impactful conversation about how we view and care for our bodies and what God says about our ultimate identity and worth.Christine Caine is a speaker, author, and activist who has been serving the local church globally for over 30 years.

Spiritual gifts are often divided into three categories: speaking, serving, and sign gifts. It is the sign gifts—gifts like tongues, prophecy, and healing—that are a source of debate. Some have wrongly made Christians feel incomplete if they don't have these sign gifts, and others have wrongly made some Christians feel weird for using the sign gifts. Join us as we look at these gifts and see how we can all use our gifts to serve others!

Anchor Passage: (Acts 5:27-29, Romans 13:1-3)The apostle Paul instructed Christians in Rome to submit to all the governing authorities, and he wrote those words when Nero, an evil tyrant who killed his own mother and burned his own city, was the emperor. Yet there are other passages where God's people refused to obey their earthly leaders. How do we know when to obey and when to disobey the leaders of our day and the leaders in the land? Join us as we look at the wisdom Scripture offers!

Brian From reflects on modern loneliness and cultural change, from a viral “Are You Dead?” app to the fading role of malls as community hubs, asking what real connection looks like today and where the church fits in. The episode also examines self-righteousness, political independence among younger Americans, and why an eternal perspective actually fuels meaningful engagement in the present world. Brian closes with sober but hopeful reflections on integrity, legacy, and what it means to live coram Deo—fully aware that our lives are lived before the face of God.

Brian From invites listeners to rethink resolutions—not around what we want to accomplish, but who we want to become—anchoring the year in Jesus’ call to love God more deeply and love others more faithfully. The episode also tackles financial anxiety in an uncertain economy, asking whether Christ is truly enough and how prayer and contentment reshape our fears about money and the future.

In a world where complexity often overshadows simplicity, we find ourselves yearning for clarity and purpose, especially within the church. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of life, longing to return to the basics? In this closing sermon of our "Church Reimagined" series, discover how the early church's dedication to simplicity can redefine your spiritual journey today.The Book of Acts reveals invaluable lessons about how the early believers, fresh from the teachings of Jesus, focused on fundamental practices like the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). These simple yet profound commitments empowered the early Christian church to grow and thrive, encouraging believers to persist in their faith with clarity and conviction.Join Pastor Nick Tallo as he explores two key takeaways: why simplicity was God's design from the start and how it creates clarity in both personal lives and church communities. He emphasizes that simplicity focuses the mission, protects from burnout, and multiplies impact—inviting you to reimagine what it means to be part of a church that's not about complexity, but about being intentional and uncluttered in our faith.Experience a message that will inspire you to focus on the core practices that deepen your relationship with Christ and others. At Two Rivers Church, our mission is to help you become a passionate follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He intended for you and encourage others to do the same.Stay connected with us by hitting that SUBSCRIBE button to keep receiving content that enriches your spiritual walk.

Anchor Passage: Acts 17:11There was a time people needed to hear “it is ok to not be ok,” so they would seek help and benefit from community and from therapy if they needed it.We now live in what many have called a therapeutic culture.
