The Deception of Distraction | Pastor John Ware by Lifehouse

Time and again, we've seen that God moves through ordinary acts of obedience; we simply have to join him in the work he's already doing. In this week's message from Acts 8, Pastor John takes us through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch. What set Philip apart as someone used by God? He wasn't an apostle, after all. He wasn't flashy or even particularly impressive. But he was a faithful servant, and his obedience to God was immediate. Could the same be said of you?

This week, Pastor John continued our sermon series Established with a message from 1 Samuel 6-8. Through the text, he challenged us to move from casual faith to wholehearted surrender, reminding us that true establishment begins with repentant hearts before God. No one can stand against the Lord, our one and true King.

Thanks for listening.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam concludes the month of February with a powerful and deeply convicting message titled “The Greatest Act of Love.” Centered on the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, this message reveals a profound biblical truth: the highest expression of love is not emotion, words, or sacrifice alone—but total surrender to God. Through the life of Abraham, listeners are invited to explore what it truly means to trust God when faith is tested. Abraham's willingness to place his promised son on the altar demonstrates that real love is proven not in comfort or blessing, but in obedience and surrender. Pastor Putnam challenges believers to consider the question: What are we unwilling to place in God's hands? “The Greatest Act of Love” is both an invitation and a challenge: to move beyond belief into complete trust, beyond emotion into obedience, and beyond control into the life-changing love found through surrender.

In this message, Pastor John reminds us that “Valentine's Day is a day, it's not a definition,” and points us back to God's design for relationships in Genesis 2. He unpacks what it means to leave, to be united, and to pursue hard after your spouse with affection, devotion, and energy. When priorities drift, relationships drift. But when we put God first and choose to serve one another, love grows deeper.You'll be challenged to rethink pursuit, selfishness, and what it really means to love. As Jesus said, “The greatest among you will be your servant,” and “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” Healthy marriages are not built on feelings alone but on intentional love, humility, and daily devotion.No matter where your relationship stands today, remember this promise: “In all things, God works for the good of those who love Him.” He is able to heal, restore, and breathe new life into what feels tired or broken.If this message encouraged you, consider sharing it with someone who could use hope in their relationships today.

Pastor John continued our Established series by showing how easily we place God in second rather than surrendering fully to Him. In 1 Samuel 4–6, we're reminded that anything we rely on for control, approval, power, or comfort will ultimately fail us. The invitation this week is clear: lay down every rival and let God truly be first.

Thanks for listening.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam delivers a powerful and deeply practical message titled “Love Takes Time.” In a culture built on speed, instant results, and quick gratification, Pastor Putnam challenges believers to embrace a biblical truth that runs counter to modern expectations: real love is not formed in a moment—it is developed through process. Drawing from Philippians 1:6, this message reminds us that salvation is the beginning of our journey, not the finished product. While God's love toward us is immediate and unconditional, our growth into Christlikeness requires shaping, refining, and time. Love is not microwaved; it is formed. “Love Takes Time” is a call to surrender our timelines to God and allow Him to complete the work He has begun. Whether you are a new believer or decades into your walk with Christ, this message will challenge you to stop resisting the formation and start embracing the refinement. God is not finished with you yet. You are still on the wheel. And if you remain faithful in the forming, He will complete what He started.

Since we are in the last days, Pastor John felt directed to speak on the subject of dreams. Going to Acts 2, 1 Kings 3, and Matthew, he demonstrates God working this way. Therefore, it's important we understand them and know how to test them. Pastor goes to 1 John 4 to help us understand how to do this.

What if your entire life was shaped by something that wasn't even true? In this eye-opening message, we explore how false beliefs become false realities—and how those realities quietly shape our identity, our choices, and even our understanding of God. From the powerful psychological lessons of the Milgram experiment to Jesus' parable of the prodigal son in Gospel of Luke 15, this sermon challenges us to examine the narratives we've built in our own minds. The younger son believed: Freedom meant leaving his father Satisfaction meant spending everything Identity meant defining life on his own But sin always sells a dream and delivers a nightmare. When he “came to his senses,” everything changed. This message will challenge you to: Stop believing your own press Question the false narratives excusing sin or fear Refuse to let feelings become your authority Embrace your restored identity in Christ You are not still condemned. You are not still defined by your worst moment. You are not still wearing a scar God has already removed. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — Second Epistle to the Corinthians 5:17 God is calling you to leave false reality and step into the new and true reality He has prepared for you.

Light Up Your Darkness | The Gospel of John | John 1:4–5“In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:4–5Darkness doesn't disappear by accident — it is driven out by light.In this message from our series The Gospel of John, we explore the powerful truth found in John 1:4–5: Jesus is the Light of Life. His light doesn't avoid darkness… it confronts it, exposes it, and overcomes it.One of the most challenging parts of following Christ is becoming aware of the darkness within our own hearts — the hidden struggles, the unaddressed sin, the fear, the pride, the wounds we try to manage on our own. But the good news of the Gospel is this: Jesus doesn't shame us in our darkness — He shines into it.If this message encourages you, make sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs the light of Christ today.#GospelOfJohn #LightInTheDarkness #John1 #jesusthelight This week's message is from our Lead Pastor, John Letterman.Let's Connect: http://bit.ly/3XbRE9TFree Access To RightNow Media:https://app.rightnowmedia.org/join/rccreadingSocial Media:@riverviewchristian on Facebook and InstagramWebsite:riverviewchristian.churchSupport the show
