Principles of the Kingdom | Pastor Caleb Slavik by Riverside Church

As we enter into the holiday season and the tail end of the year, we may be showing up burnt out, busy, grieving, etc. We're at the finish line but we begin slacking or giving up on the things that are actually of great benefit to us. Our relationship with God, the calling He's given us in this season, our community that He has us in, or the craft that He has gifted us with. This message is the encouragement we need to keep showing up. God does not look for our perfection, but our perseverance. Whether it's the holidays or the mundane moments, keep showing up.

In this fourth part of this series, Pastor Caleb discusses the importance of God-ordained ministers being spiritual fathers who raise Christians up as disciples.  Many people may have instructors or teachers, but every Christian needs a spiritual parent to help them mature and grow in a personal relationship.  Without a pastor, a person tends to have less influence and help to stay on track with God.  Send us a textSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.

Have you ever experienced the pain of longing, praying, and hoping for something, only to have it slip through your fingers? In this message, Pastor Caleb unpacks Luke 1:5-25, exploring the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, a couple who were righteous and faithful, yet suffered decades of silent longing and unanswered prayers. Discover the powerful truth that God hears your prayers even when He seems silent, and how His loving discipline is an invitation back to belief. In this sermon, you'll learn: - The Nature of True Faith: Zechariah and Elizabeth were described as blameless and righteous before God. This meant they had inward integrity and were the same person in private as they were in public. - The Tension of the Christian Life: You can be Godly and disappointed, righteous and barren, or blameless and brokenhearted. Faithfulness does not exempt you from heartache. - Two Temptations in the Waiting Room: When you're trying to live faithfully but suffering silently, be careful not to fall into feeling defeated (thinking your pain is payback for sin) or entitled (treating God like a transactional rewards program). - God's Silence is Not His Absence: Even when we feel like He doesn't, God hears our prayers. God broke the personal silence for Zechariah and Elizabeth and the prophetical silence for His people. - The Danger of Unbelief and Discipline as Grace: Zechariah's doubt (unbelief) prompted a loving discipline: nine months of silence. For a genuine follower of Jesus, discipline is not punishment (which was finished on the cross) but a form of grace—an invitation to step back into love and obedience. - The Ultimate Joy of Christmas: The greatest joy Zechariah and Elizabeth found was not in having a child, but in God remembering His people and finally sending His Savior, Jesus Christ. Key Topics Covered: - The Messengers Series: Kicking off the Christmas series by looking at the first messengers of Christmas, specifically the angel Gabriel. - A Personal Story of Loss and Hope: Pastor Caleb's story of naming his stillborn son Gabriel, "God's Messenger of Hope," after the angel. - The Spiritually Dry Season: Zechariah and Elizabeth lived during a 400-year gap where God did not send a prophet or a fresh word. - The Parallel with Elijah: Gabriel's message announced that Zechariah's son, John, would come in the spirit and power of Elijah, paving the way for the long-awaited Savior. - The Consequences of Doubt: Zechariah's questioning, "HOW shall I know this?", revealed a heart full of cynicism, in contrast to Mary's heart of faith. - Discipline and Discipleship: God uses discipline (like a job loss or a hard marriage season) to form us into the image of His Son, teaching us humility and perseverance. - If you are currently feeling stuck in a "waiting room" of life, struggling with doubt, or experiencing a season of discipline, this message will encourage you to trust God's loving heart and respond to the message of hope in Jesus. - Would you like me to share one of the specific application points from the sermon on how to respond to God's voice in a season of discipline or unbelief?

Just like many of the golf courses around Augusta, Georgia, we too were designed by a creator.

Pastor Caleb Cole continues our Kingdom Builders series with a passionate call to build God's Kingdom through radical generosity. Teaching from 2 Corinthians 9, he shows that giving isn't about pressure — it's about a posture of readiness, inspiration, preparation, and trust in “God math” that multiplies seed into transformed lives. Through real stories from Project Church and powerful biblical truth, Pastor Caleb reminds us that finances are one of the greatest indicators of discipleship. When we give cheerfully and sacrificially, we partner with God in eternal impact—rescuing the hurting, feeding the hungry, planting churches, and seeing lives changed week after week. We don't just give to the Kingdom… we help build it.

Pastor Caleb Cole kicks off Kingdom Builders—a new Project Church series on generosity—with a powerful reminder that God calls us to build His Kingdom through open-handed living and faithful stewardship.
