Did you know that when we take communion, we're not just remembering the past, but also anticipating the future? It's a powerful moment where Jesus' sacrifice and His promised return intersect in the present.

Remember, in this covenant, Jesus holds both sides. We don't have to be perfect - He makes good on it for us. That's the beautiful grace we celebrate every time we gather at His table.

"Worship isn't about us—it's about God. When we reorient our hearts to seek His face, not just His hand, we become carriers of His presence. True worship transforms us and impacts the world. Let's move from disorientation to intentional reverence, breathing in His life and exhaling His glory."

At River City Church, we believe true spiritual formation happens in community. That's why we're passionate about our City Groups - where we share our stories, grow together, and live out Jesus' command to love one another.

This week's sermon reminds us that true service isn't about recognition or reward—it's about reflecting Christ's love in the world. When we serve others, we're actually serving Jesus in disguise.

We don't have to choose between Scripture and Spirit - they work hand in hand! God wants to impart His heart to us, giving us a clear picture of Christ that helps us rightly view sin, grace, forgiveness, identity, and truth.

Are you ready to experience God's presence, be formed by His Word, and live on mission? Join us this Sunday as we pursue encounter, formation, and mission together!

It's time to dig up those old wells, confront what's holding us back, and allow God to heal and redefine us. The Christian life and Jesus' church are not passive endeavors - they require intentional commitment.

Let's break free from counter-identification and embrace the fullness of who God created us to be. Join us next Sunday as we continue our series on 'The Intentional Church.'
