RiverLife Fellowship

Working in Grace | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

In order to effectively live our lives and walk out out callings, we have to learn how to rely on Grace in our daily lives. We have been invited to participate in the work of the Kingdom, but as we see from many examples in the Bible, its very easy to fall out of Grace in this work and into striving. When we are striving, and attempting to work out of out own power, things rarely tend to work out well in the long term. How do we square the need to work with the call to stay in God's Grace?
 
Join us in Wilmington as Senior Pastor Ryan Meade continues to unpack the vision for RiverLife Wilmington with a message on the speed of Grace.

Rest | Sarah and Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

Fatigue is one of the greatest enemies to our spiritual life! As they say, “Never make major life decisions at 2am!” Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Senior Pastors Sarah and Matthew Bollinger challenge you to make rest a priority. This is the way of Jesus - rest in relationship.

Wisdom is a Tree of Life | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

The Bible mentions the phrase "Tree of Life" ten times: three times in Genesis, four times in Proverbs, and three times in Revelation. In Genesis and Revelation, it is called "The Tree of Life." In Proverbs, it is "a tree of life." However, when Proverbs calls wisdom "a tree of life," it doesn't mean that wisdom is "The Tree of Life." When Proverbs refers to wisdom as "a tree of life," it's using a metaphor to convey the importance of wisdom in our lives. Just as "The Tree of Life" was crucial for Adam and Eve's survival in the Garden of Eden, wisdom is essential for our spiritual and moral well-being.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his series on unpacking the book of Proverbs with a message on the value of Wisdom.

Called and Qualified | Cory Meade | Wilmington

As we partner with God to do his kingdom work, we are qualified as we let him work through us. We need to be careful not to get caught up in Comparison Culture, which is so prevalent in our society. Comparing our ministries and callings to those of other people is a trap that is all too easy to fall into.
 
Join us in Wilmington as special guest speaker Cory Meade dives into a look at our callings and identity in the Lord, and how we should feel about them.

Sound Mind: Thinking Like Jesus pt 3 | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

In John 13, Jesus replied, "You don't understand what I am doing, but someday you will." This is usually how prophecy works. Have you ever received a Word that you didn't understand? Looking back we can recollect what God was trying to communicate, but upon receiving new communication from Jesus we can feel confused and even confounded. However, the mind of Jesus is able to see and hear. This mind is also in you. We are in a transition period in history right now. More than ever, we need the mind of Christ - a sound mind.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Senior Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues his series on receiving a sound mind with a further look at Jesus' way of thinking.

The Wages of Wisdom | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

The path of wisdom is delightful, as its rewards are far greater than silver and gold. Wisdom represents an abundant and prosperous life. Its rewards encompass all aspects of life, such as physical health, emotional well-being, healthy relationships, spiritual growth, and finances. The Holy Spirit resurrects our souls and will resurrect our finances, provided we allow Him to do so.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his series on the Book of Proverbs with a message about God's wisdom for finances.

Continue Well as You Walk Out Your Calling | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Being successful in our callings is not just about preparing and finishing well, it's also about how we continue our walk. We can look for inspiration from Paul to help with continuing in our callings even when we encounter challenges. We can be encouraged to not get tired or give up (Gal. 6:9-10), can rely on his mercy every day (2 Cor. 4:1), can be confident in who Jesus is and his glory in us (2 Cor. 3), and we can press on with our eyes on the future rewards and harvest (Phil. 2:12-14). 
 
Join us in Wilmington as Senior Pastor Ryan Meade continues our series unpacking the vision for RLW and encourages us to get help from the Lord every day as we walk out our callings.

The Path of Wisdom | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

The Book of Proverbs teaches us that Wisdom is like a path, and when we seek to walk that path, we discover that Jesus Christ is its essence. Any path devoid of Christ leads to a dead end. Thankfully, God has shown us the path of life in Christ and offered us the beauty of this path. Wisdom is a promise for those seeking it (James 1:5), and Wisdom carries many promises and benefits.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his series on the Book of Proverbs with a message about the ways to live by wisdom.

Finding the Vine and Fig Tree | Oliver Meade | Wilmington

Throughout the Old Testament, the Biblical Authors use the image of the grapevine and fig tree as a symbol of prosperity, safety, and blessing. One of the things Jesus came to do on this Earth was bring the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth. Though it was not a physical location, we as believers still have access to the Kingdom of Heaven now. As the prophets promise, that same blessing and prosperity is ours to inherit (Micah 4:4).
 
Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Oliver Meade encourages us to seek out a life under the grapevine and fig tree in our time here on Earth.
