You'll gain a nuanced understanding of why Jesus' answer, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's," was so revolutionary and how it continues to offer insights on balancing our duties as citizens of both the earthly and divine realms. This section is packed with historical context and practical wisdom that can transform your perspective on societal obligations.Finally, we shift gears to discuss spiritual formation through community and scripture, tackling the often overlooked relational aspect of faith. Using Jeremiah 29 and contemporary examples, we emphasize how true transformation comes from active engagement with God and community.

Michael Gowens begins a topical mini-series with this 5/21/23 message in an attempt to develop a Biblical, pastoral theology. Using Jeremiah 3:15 as the text for the study, Gowens emphasizes the nature of the pastorate in terms of this rich metaphor of shepherding. In Scripture, spiritual leadership is always couched in these terms, whether we talk about the patriarchs, King David, or the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

We begin a new summer sermon series this Sunday entitled "Missio Nexus: Where Life & Mission Connects." As a church, we want to be connected to God's mission where it is happening. And so over the next couple of months, we're going to look at the people and places where God would have us connect our lives with his mission. We'll look at connecting with his mission on the athletic field as well as in the neighborhood, the home, the classroom, the arts, the public square and the marketplace…all the places where we spend our time and energy. For this Sunday, I'll introduce this series, by introducing a new motto that we have adopted. Actually, you may have already heard us reference it before. It's on the teal shirts that many of us wore to the Easter Egg hunt. That motto is “In Rivermont…For Rivermont.” What we mean by that is this. We are in the Rivermont neighborhood and we are for the Rivermont neighborhood. But what does that exactly mean? Using Jeremiah 29:1-11, we'll see that it means a ministry of presence, a ministry of peace and a ministry of prayer in and for the neighborhood. I'm grateful to have one of our elders, Eric Vess, assisting me this Sunday as he will be leading us through the service as we sing the hymns, "Tell Out My Soul, The Greatness of the Lord", "Behold The Throne of God Above", "Jesus Shall Reign".

Doing justice and living justly was and is supposed to be an integral part of life under God’s rule. Yet, it is often a neglected expectation or conversation in the church. It has become an atrophied part of our spiritual maturity.Justin Giboney writes, “Young Christians are going to seek out a concept of social justice. If they can’t get it from the church then they’ll get it from secular sources. If that’s problematic for you (and it should), then don’t dismiss social justice, show them a biblical way to pursue it.”Using Jeremiah 7, we will have a conversation. We will look at the importance of justice to God; the danger of not doing justice; and the power availed to us live justly while also doing justice.
