RiverLife Fellowship

The Way Into Rest | Mary Meade | Wilmington

Our women are back from the annual Sojourn Women's Retreat! This year, the Lord was speaking about the lilies and the sparrows, and God's abundant provision for His children. While there, Pastor Mary shared about rest, and the necessity of the Sabbath cycles. True rest comes when we trust God enough to release control and let His love lead. When we live surrendered, we find freedom, peace, and strength for what's ahead.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Pastor Mary continues the invitation to rest  by exploring the connection between surrender and love.

About the Things of My Father's Love | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

As image-bearers and children of God, we have been tasked to do His work and steward His Kingdom on Earth. At times, it can be difficult to know how to do that. Jesus tackled this task in a way which was previously unknown to the nation of Israel. From his earliest works, Jesus acted based on what he saw the Father doing. We can learn from this revelation as we attempt to follow the example God set for us in how to accomplish His works.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade encourages us to seek the Father's heart, and to do what we see Him doing.

Cultivating a Move of God | Will Gelling | Chapel Hill

The Lord has given us each a revelation of His character and His kingdom. He has also given the Church a charge to steward that revelation for its members, and to tend to His sheep. The Lord has revelations He has placed within Gen Z to release to the broader church. How are we going to cultivate that revelation and steward its release?
 
Join us in Chapel Hill for Gen Z Sunday as guest speaker Will Gelling releases a word to the church about cultivating a move of God.

Solid Rock | Cory Meade | Mooresville

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus encourages his followers to be wise and build their homes on solid rock, rather than on shifting sand. Peter adds to this idea in his first letter, by telling us that if Christ is our firm foundation, then we can be solid tock for those around us. 
 
Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Cory Meade encourages us to use what we have been given by Christ in our walk supporting those around us.

The Privilege of Example | Cory Meade | Wilmington

Jesus is emphatic to the Pharisees when he tells them that he only does what he sees the Father doing (John 5). The torch is passed to us, his followers, as we get to be an example to the world. We have the privilege, through the way we live our lives, to make an impression on those around us, representing Christ to the world.
Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Cory Meade grapples with the tension between our call towards loving others and the innate difficulty in doing so.

Thriving in Marriage | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

Why are we talking about marriage? It matters! What good would it be to win the whole world of Christ, yet to lose our marriage and family? From the beginning, marriage and family was God's idea. The Scriptures give us very practical and specific instructions on how marriages can thrive and preach the Gospel in its reflection of Jesus and the Church.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger dives into the Biblical paradigm of marriage and how we should approach married life.

Like a Roaring Lion | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

Although Satan was defeated at the cross, he and his demonic forces still seek to deceive, distract, and destroy whenever they are given access. We live in a time that calls for sober-mindedness and spiritual awareness. Scripture warns us not to be unaware of Satan's schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11. Don't be naïve about what culture often presents as harmless—many of these things are, in truth, subtle and destructive.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to keep our eyes on God when the world tries to push us down.

The Father's Heart of Restoration | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

God the Father is full of compassion, grace, mercy, forgiveness, and restoration—and that truth doesn't just apply to others, it applies to you. Too often, we can believe that God will forgive and restore someone else, but struggle to believe the same for ourselves. Yet Scripture tells us that even while we were still sinners, Christ does for us (Romans 5:8), and that the Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in live (Psalm 145:8). When we fall short, the Father's heart isn't to shame or reject us, but to restore us.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade shares how to break free from the lie that you're beyond grace, and how to receive restoration.
