by Paul Hughes Looking at Exodus 16, Paul teaches on how God manifests his glory and goodness through his provision.

by Heidi Hughes Jesus is faithful to answer all who call out to him. He wants us to have hearts that cry out for more understanding. (1 Kings 3:4-11; Jeremiah 33:3; Luke 24:13-45)

by Heidi Hughes Speaking primarily from 1 Timothy 3:1-13; 6:6-10, and Titus 1:5-9; 2:1-5, which are qualifications for leaders, Heidi challenges us with practical ways of how to manage our lives well.

by Paul Hughes With texts from 1 Peter 5:5, James 1:19, Galatians 2:11-21, and Timothy 3:16, Paul encourages us to walk with a teachable and humble heart so that others can speak into our lives when necessary, and we can all shine out the beauty of God to a watching world.

by Paul Hughes With anchor texts from 1 John 4:7-12 and Mark 4:21-41, Paul teaches on how we can reflect the light of God—even through small words or actions—and release the Kingdom just by doing normal.

by Heidi Hughes Heidi continues in Revelation 12 with an emphasis on persevering through solid knowledge and intricate application of Scripture. She also includes a description of what not loving your life looks like.

by Heidi Hughes From Revelation 12:1 and a few other texts, Heidi teaches us about the role of the blood of Jesus in overcoming the enemy and living a victorious Christian life.

by Paul and Heidi Hughes Mark 6:1-3, James 3:9-10 When I know God's character, I can honour what he does, even when it shifts my paradigms. If I attempt to quantify, contain or domesticate God, I could get offended at anything from him that doesn't fit within my scope of understanding.   

by Randy Maas When we belong to Jesus, who purchased us by his blood, he gets to define who we are and give us our true Kingdom identity. Through abiding in his word, we are set free from the weight of ungodly lies and need to lay aside the false identities we have been holding onto. (John 8:31-26; Romans 3:22,23; Hebrews 12:1-2; Philippians 3:20; 1 Peter 2:11; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Luke 14:26)

by Paul Hughes Jesus disrupts disunity, and calls us to walk in the collective identity of members of his body on the earth. "One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should. One life with each other: sisters, brothers. One life, but we're not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other. One, one." (U2, "One") (1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Deuteronomy 3:21-28; Colossians 3:15; John 17:20-23)

by Paul Hughes All of us experience a deep hole inside that can only be filled by the presence of God, who has put eternity in our hearts. He not only wants to fill that hole, but also to bring us home and throw a party for us out of his great compassion and love. (Ecclesiastes 3:11; Luke 15:11-24)

by Heidi Hughes Intimacy with God is not about feeling God's love but receiving His comfort and truth. The cross of Jesus takes us into real intimacy and destroys negative emotions that hinder obedience and stop us from experiencing oneness with God. (Philippians 2:1-2; 2 Corinthians 4:7-12; 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

by Heidi Hughes

by Paul Hughes Jesus reinstated Peter, and recommissioned him three times to enter into his identity and the destiny that aligned with that—an increased dominion, intentional service, and an immediate focus. (Genesis 1:26; John 21:15-25; 2 Peter 1:5-8; John 10:11; 1 Peter 5:1-4)

Paul shares at our River Midweek on how to discern God’s will in making big decisions—especially in times of transition.
