While things have been challenging on the personal front for us; things [...]

Prayer Is. . . June 21, 2009

Last week we started looking at what the Bible says about Prayer.  In our discussion we gained a better understanding that prayer is our way of having conversation with God.  Conversation, not a monologue. We’re continuing the “Prayer Is. . . ” study, this week as we look at the fact that prayer is an [...]

Starting Up June 15, 2009

I read earlier today that a church that is not a praying church is a dying church.

Prayer May 4, 2009

We believe prayer will be the bedrock upon which RiverChurch will be built.  That’s why we’ve made it a priority early on, and we want others to join us.  Our entire family has taken seriously the need to pray for Chattanooga and RiverChurch, as you’ll see in the video below. I actually started to post [...]
