Mission of the Church Matters Training

Are You A Trader?

We are calling this generation to trade in their pursuit of the American Dream for a world that desperately needs Christ.

A trader is a new kind of missionary - not defined by geography - but marked by a willingness to apply the Parable of the Good Samaritan and “go and do likewise.” Christianity should be a verb, not a noun.

It’s a movement that requires us to live out our faith … not just talk about it.
This DVD series (presented by Francis Chan, Matt Chandler, George Barna and more) and group discussion will be facilitated by Pastor Steve Friday, April 20th, 2012 from 6pm-9pm and Saturday, April 21st, 2012 from 9am - 2pm.

You may sign up at the Table in the Foyer or by contacting Pastor Brian bfink@riveroflife.org.

iMarriage - Transforming Your Marriage

Standing at the altar, we all had a picture of what our marriage would look like, but the problem is that this picture of marriage results in expectations that we possibly unload on our spouse.  The weight of these expectations rob marriages of love and joy.  The result is, your spouse is always trying to measure up and they never feel that they are good enough.

What do you do with your expectations?  You can't deny them, because mostly expectations start out as God given desires. 

Join us in this six week study, as Andy Stanley explains how to transform these expectations by turning to God.  Find out what the Bible says and how to experience marriage as God designed it.  Learn how to turn the burden of expectations into joy and love. 

This study will be Tuesday nights from 7pm - 8pm, starting, January, 17 through February 21. 

You can order the study guide from the ROL bookstore. 

For more information call Michael (319.213.1492) or Sherry (319.361.8629).
