Making reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ

Fall Fun Fest Tomorrow 11-2pm!

Dear River Reach Family,

Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brethren, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

Acts 15:1

In this world you will encounter many people claiming to know the truth. They will try to convince you to believe their “doctrine.” How do you know what to believe? What is right? What is wrong? How do you determine right and wrong? The early church was faced with a new test of dealing with those who tried to teach a false doctrine. This Sunday morning we will learn from the early church how to respond to doctrinal controversies in a way that honors the Lord and protects the health of the church.

Sermon: “Handling False Doctrine” – Acts 15:1-35

Fall Fun Fest tomorrow 11:00-2:00pm!

So far it looks like the Lord is giving us wonderful weather for our Fall Fun Fest community event tomorrow! We are excited about another fun opportunity to serve the Lord together as a church by reaching out into our community!

Workers: We need your help tomorrow! We will begin setting up around 9:00am. We would appreciate your help if you are able to come early to help set up.

T-Shirts: We have new T-Shirts for everyone in our church. If you don’t have a shirt yet we will have your shirt available tomorrow morning.

Pray: Please pray that the Lord will enable us to show the love of Christ to our community. Please pray that people will come and be receptive to Jesus. Please pray for lasting fruit for Christ’s glory.
