WELCOME TO ROL SUNDAY MORNINGS!
Welcome to River of Life! We hope you feel at home with us. Our services are held outside at River of Life Church at 10 a.m. We also have an online service that is streamed at 10 a.m. and available online afterward. Our services last about an hour and include a time of worship and teaching from the Bible.
Our Bulletins are interactive: click on a title to see more.
SERMON QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
- Think about a time when you were searching for God’s will. What was going on? What emotions were you experiencing? What was happening with your faith?
- When have you experienced God’s providential will in your life? How did it feel to pray, “Thy will be done.” and to know it would be…regardless?
- Talk about a time when you struggled with obedience to God’s moral will. What did God want you to do that you were not willing to do? What happened with your faith during that time? To your relationship with God?
- Talk about a time when you were clear on God’s personal will for you. Was it empowering to know? How easy was it to follow through on?
- Talk with each other about the statement, “Enlightenment follows surrender.” Which one comes easier to you? What would it mean for you to surrender to God today?

We’re having some construction done in the sanctuary and are unsure of the timeline at this point.
