Ephesians 3:14-15 (NASB1995) - “For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name…”   In this message, Angie Robertson addresses the spiritual tension between adhering to religious principles and maintaining an active, personal relationship with God. Drawing from Ephesians 3 and Revelation 2, the sermon examines the common pitfall where believers emphasize rules, decrees, and ministry tasks over direct intimacy with the Father. The teaching highlights the concept of a "master reset"—returning to a foundational awareness of God's love rather than operating out of spiritual performance or legalism. Key topics include navigating moments when spiritual warfare strategies feel ineffective, understanding the distinction between working for God and knowing Him, and avoiding the relational distance modeled by the elder brother in the parable of the prodigal son.

Acts 5:9-11 (NIV) - Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events. Pastor Danny Robertson | River City Christian Center | May 31, 2026

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV) - if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

This Mother's Day sermon traces one of the most powerful generational faith stories in the Bible — the story of Timothy, his mother Eunice, and his grandmother Lois — and highlights the power that the prayers of a faithful, devoted Mother can have on future generations. This is a word for every parent, every grandparent, and everyone who wonders whether their faithfulness is making a difference. Whether you grew up with a praying mother or you didn't — this message meets you where you are. If faith wasn't passed down to you, Pastor Danny has a simple challenge: start a new line. Determine that your descendants will be dedicated to the Lord. Pray for the ones you don't even know yet. Jesus did it in John 17. You can too. This message also unpacks 2 Timothy 1:6-7 — fan into flame the gift of God that is already in you. The Holy Spirit is in you. You have the gifts because you have the Holy Ghost. And the spirit God gave you is not fear — it is power, love, and self-discipline.

Description: What does it actually mean to rob God? Pastor Danny Robertson opens Malachi 3 and traces the word "robber" through the entire Bible — from the temple storehouse to the Good Samaritan to Judas to Barabbas to the cross — and builds a case that the heart behind withholding from God is the same heart behind every other kind of theft. Key scriptures: Malachi 3:8-10 | Luke 10:30-37 | John 10:1-10 | John 12:6 | Matthew 26:55 | Matthew 27 Chapters: 00:00 — Opening prayer 01:00 — Introduction: Finishing Craig Hood's book and the word "juxtaposition" 03:41 — Malachi 3:8 — Will a mere mortal rob God? 05:16 — You are under a curse 06:17 — The promise: Test me and see if I won't open the floodgates 08:12 — First fruits vs. leftovers — which nine get blessed? 09:49 — You become the floodgate — blessed to bless the nations 11:12 — Why does God juxtapose his promise with robbers? 13:00 — The dart gun — a childhood story about robbing 14:32 — What robbing reveals: selfishness, distrust, hardened heart 19:51 — The psychology of robbing: id, ego, and superego 22:16 — Robbing goes against who God is — he gives, he serves 24:06 — Stepping into the curse vs. living in provision 25:19 — The Lord Almighty's dare: no recession in heaven 29:43 — The Hebrew word for rob — to cover, to deceive 30:19 — The Good Samaritan: robbers, the half dead man, and Jesus 37:26 — The juxtaposition: what robbers do vs. what God does 38:46 — Robbers in the New Testament — the Greek word 40:07 — Cleansing the temple: my house is a den of robbers 41:25 — Judas: the robber in charge of the purse 45:07 — Jesus accused of being a robber by robbers 46:14 — Projection, lawfare, and false charges 50:02 — Laurie and the cup of mixed leftovers — a sibling story 51:52 — They called Jesus a robber so they could keep robbing 52:33 — Barabbas: son of the father freed while the Son took his place 55:35 — We are all robbers — but when we come to our senses 56:20 — John 10: the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy 58:21 — The continuum: robbing leads to killing leads to destroying 58:52 — The juxtaposition: abundant life vs. the way of the curse 59:13 — Money reveals the heart 01:00:18 — The Oreo story — Danny, did you have an Oreo? 01:02:37 — I was speaking to my dad but my daddy was the devil 01:03:20 — Blessings beyond money: relationships, family, community 01:03:49 — Will you rob God? Put feet on your answer 01:05:17 — Closing and communion

What does the Bible actually say about money, generosity, and trusting God with your finances? Pastor Danny Robertson walks through the final chapter of Take God at His Word by Dr. Kregg Hood — a practical, faith-driven look at biblical financial stewardship that will challenge you on giving. Paul calls generosity a grace — placing it alongside faith, speech, and knowledge in 2 Corinthians 8 and challenging believers to excel in it. Biblical giving is about sowing in faith and trusting God to bring the harvest. Danny also shares River City's testimony of purchasing land in 2020. We believed God for a piece of property for years, poured oil on it, prayed over it, bought it debt-free in the middle of COVID with the help of an interest-free loan, and paid back $100,000 by Thanksgiving of the same year. That's a financial miracle. That's who Jehovah Jireh is. Key scriptures: 2 Corinthians 8:7–9 | 2 Corinthians 9:6–7 | Galatians 6:9–10 | Luke 5:5–6 | Ephesians 3:20–21 Recorded on April 26, 2026 at River City Christian Center

Dr. Gail Stathis is a missionary and pastor with EME Ministries, serving the Middle East and Greece. She brings a powerful, deeply personal message for anyone walking through uncertainty, unanswered prayer, grief, or spiritual dryness. Drawing from John 11 and the resurrection of Lazarus, Gail unpacks why Jesus delayed, what that delay meant for everyone watching, and what it means for you today. This message is built around three biblical and practical anchors for unstable times: Trust God's Word before you see His hand move, God sees further into your situation than you can, and God will always do His part — but not your part. When Lazarus's tomb was sealed, Jesus didn't roll the stone away himself. He told them to do it. Roll the stone away. That's the part only you can do. Doubt, fear, grief, a prayer you've nearly abandoned — those are the stones. You roll them. He does the impossible. Recorded on April 19, 2026 at River City Christian Center

In this sermon, Pastor Danny Robertson goes through what Bible teaches about tithing, money, blessing, resources, provision, and our SOURCE of all things, God Almighty. Malachi 3:10 - Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7). This sermon is about breaking free from the agreement many of us have unknowingly made with fear and anxiety. Fear doesn't just make you uncomfortable—it wants control. And when you can't control outcomes, you end up doing one of three things: running away, lashing out at people, or giving up completely. Pastor Angie Robertson delivers a teaching on breaking the handshake of fear and anxiety through prayer and fellowship with the Lord. Recorded at River City Christian Center on February 8, 2026.

Jesus is the Name above all names! His name is power, healing, deliverance, resurrection, freedom, restoration, glory, and so much more. At the name of Jesus, every enemy is put to flight and one day, every knee shall bow at the mention of His holy name. In this sermon, Danny opens the Word to show that Jesus is God's Salvation. He is our deliverance. And He longs to save us, heal us, restore us, and give us His righteousness. We pray this message blesses you and leads you closer to King Jesus. Mark 3:4 (NIV) – Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.

Pastor Angie Robertson teaches on the plummet stone(plumb line) from Scripture—a symbol of God’s standard, His accuracy, and His desire to bring His people into true alignment. This is a prophetic call to holiness, structure, and spiritual integrity. The Church so often builds what God never asked for. This message is call to come back to repentance, identity, and structural integrity—reminding us that God is raising a people who can hold His weight, stand straight, and reflect His character. We pray this word blesses you! Zechariah 4:10 (NASB1995) - “For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel— these are the eyes of the LORD which range to and fro throughout the earth.”   Sermon: The Plummet Stone | Angie Robertson Date: November 16, 2025

Pastor Danny Robertson teaches from Genesis and the words of Jesus to reveal our original purpose: to bear God’s image, rule with His authority, and produce fruit that lasts. A call to revival, reformation, and restored identity. Starting in Genesis 1, Danny highlights the three-part creation assignment: man was made in God’s image, called to rule and reign, and commissioned to be fruitful and multiply. Sin marred our original design and purpose. He then traces how Jesus, at the Last Supper, intentionally speaks to each of these areas: restoring our image (“I am in My Father, and you are in Me”), restoring our authority (“All authority in heaven and earth has been given to Me”), and restoring our fruitfulness (“Go and bear fruit — fruit that will last”). Finally, Danny explores Matthew 28 and Mark 16, showing the dual calling of the Church to both revival and reformation — to reach the lost and to disciple nations. Sermon: Fruitful Rule | Danny Robertson Date: November 9, 2025

Pastor Danny Robertson unpacks the Transfiguration, the renewing of the mind, and God’s original design for humanity — showing how believers are transformed into the image of Christ. Beginning with a powerful testimony, Danny illustrates how a person who was robbed, broken, addicted, and lost can be fully restored by the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. From there he takes us into Matthew 17 and the Transfiguration, showing how Jesus revealed the glory He always carried. And just like the disciples, we are invited to see the true image of Christ and to be transformed into that same image. This message is a call to step beyond human strength and into the ascended life with Christ—where we are changed from glory to glory by the Spirit of God. Sermon: He Morphed | Danny Robertson Date: November 2, 2025

What does it mean to be transformed by the renewing of your mind? What does it mean to be conformed to the image of Christ? In this sermon, Pastor Danny unpacks the change, or metamorphosis that the disciples saw on the Mount of Transfiguration and what it means for each of us to be changed into His image. Sermon: Metamorphosis | Danny Robertson Date: October 26, 2025

God is measuring His Church so that we can handle the weight of His Glory in the coming move of God! In this message from Zechariah 2, Angie Robertson shares how the Lord is stretching a “measuring line” over His people to prepare us for glory and revival. In this message, Angie Robertson teaches from Zechariah 1–2 about the “measuring line” of God — His divine standard for His people. Drawing from Scripture, prophetic insight, and stories of revival, she reveals that the Church is being aligned and measured by Christ Himself, the true pattern Son. Angie reminds us that “The measure matters” — that what God builds must be measured according to heaven, not human empathy, culture, or compromise. Just as Zechariah saw the “man with the measuring line,” God is once again calling His Church into alignment for the outpouring of His glory. Sermon: The Measuring Man | Angie Robertson Date: October 19, 2025

Jesus is flipping over tables in the Church and in our hearts because Jesus was, is, and always will be consumed with zeal for His House.

We pray this message blesses you and leads you closer to our God! Sermon: Zeal For His House | Kevin Oliver Date: October 12, 2025

When the glory of God shows up, everything changes. In this message, Pastor Danny Robertson opens the Word to reveal God’s glory how His goodness is made visible. God’s glory isn’t distant—it’s His goodness, His mercy, and His presence revealed among us. In this sermon, The Glory, Pastor Danny Robertson explores how the same cloud that led Israel still leads us today. Even in our moments of weakness or grumbling, the Lord shows up with compassion, provision, and purpose. Ultimately, the Glory of God is fully revealed in Jesus Christ. Discover what it means to live in the weighty presence of God, recognize His glory in everyday life, and move when the cloud moves. Sermon: The Glory | Danny Robertson Date: October 5, 2025

Our unbelief is the only thing that can limit a limitless God. In this sermon, Pastor Danny Robertson explores how unbelief can actually limit what God desires to do in us and through us. Looking at Mark 6 and the account of Jesus in His hometown of Nazareth, we see how familiarity and offense led to a lack of faith that blocked the miraculous. Pastor Danny also reflects on the father who cried out, “I believe; help my unbelief,” reminding us that faith and doubt often wrestle within the same heart. This message will encourage you to recognize the places where unbelief may be holding you back, and to take steps toward a deeper trust in God’s word and power. Sermon: Their Unbelief | Danny Robertson Date: September 28, 2025

Why does everyone need to hear the gospel? Because the message of Jesus changes everything.

We pray this sermon will encourage you to step into your calling and carry the gospel of Jesus to every nation, every neighbor, and every generation as you pursue missions, personal evangelism, revival, or simply growing deeper in your walk with God.
