RiverTree Jackson

What table is your faith sitting at right now? “FOR THE” faith — thanking God for His provision.“EVEN THOUGH” faith — trusting God in the middle of the storm.“BECAUSE OF” faith — praising God for the purpose He’s producing through the pain.

Pastor Brian kicks off a new series focused on the book of Hebrews. Don't miss each week as we unpack the story of the underdogs of our faith.

In this final week of the series, Rules of Engagement, Pastor Brian challenges us to fight on the highest level against the real enemy in our relationships: Satan. The spiritual realm has a greater influence on our relationships than physical circumstances. We must wield the sword of the Spirit, the shield of faith, and the victory found in prayer.

This week, Pastor Brian teaches us to fight for understanding in our relationships. Being heard is common, but being understood is rare. Real understanding leads to real appreciation & value. 1) Be fully present. 2) Seek the feelings behind their words. 3) Stop planning your response. 4) Recognize the reflection of Christ in them.

This week, Pastor Brian shares Rule #3: Fight Upward. The original pure form of any relationship was designed to be three = 2 people + God. Our earthly relationships are life-giving and strongest when our heavenly relationship with Him comes first.

This week, Pastor Brian shares the second Rule of Engagement as to Fight Clean. Are your words true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind? 

The kickoff to a new five-week series, this week, Pastor Brian shares the first Rule of Engagement as "fight for the relational WIN" through selflessness through five practical keys to living selflessly as:1. Pick your battles2. Only fight battles that gain ground.3. In the battle, don’t lose sight of the war.4. Just because you can does not mean you should.5. When one person wins and the other loses, the relationship loses.

This Easter, Pastor Brian answers the question of "WHY?" and shares why Jesus had to willingly die and why Jesus' blood was required for the forgiveness of sins.

As we approach Easter, Pastor Brian asks, "Do we truly comprehend His suffering?" The crowd expected a crown of gold for their king, but Jesus chose a crown of thorns. Pastor Brian shares these main points this week: Jesus suffered while no one believed. Jesus suffered through humility. Jesus suffered in total rejection. Jesus suffered in place of me. Jesus suffered for my guilt. Jesus suffered in silent strength. He willingly steps into my suffering so I can willingly step into His salvation.

In this final sermon of the Trades series, Pastor Brian asks two questions as we share our Testimony:1. What have I done with Jesus?2. What have I done with my story?

This week, Pastor Brian asks, "How would we live if we believed?our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and is God Lord of your mind, heart, flesh and soul?" 

This week, Pastor Brian shares about the trades we make with our treasure through the stewardship, obedience, sacrifice, location, and value of our treasure. 

This week, Pastor Jon shares how we can use our talents with intentionality and a spirit of urgency for the Kingdom and the parable of the Talents in the book of Matthew. Stop trading your talent for things that don't have anything to do with the Kingdom. Trade your unique talents up for the Kingdom in such a way that multiplies His mercy, truth, and compassion to Earth now, and stand in anticipation of His return.

Everything is a trade, and our trades reveal our priorities. We are always trading something for something else. In this first week of the series, Pastor Brian teaches about trading our time. From margin/rest to wasting our time, and more.

In this final week of the Frequency series, Pastor Brian shows us there are four unique ways God also speaks to us: 1. When others give exhortation, wisdom, insight, or truth.2. When God sends angels to communicate, warn, or guide.3. When God uses dreams/visions to communicate direction, instruction, and encouragement.4. When God uses the spiritual gifts of others.

This week, Pastor Brian walks us through ways we can hear God's voice more clearly. 1. Regularly reading God's Word is vital. 2. Listen with anticipation, not expectation. 3. Change your proximity to the source. 

This week, Pastor Brian shares what you should do to discern God's voice. We have to take the voice of God to God's Word, then take the voice to a mature Christ follower, then take God's voice back to Him in prayer.

In this special online-only service, due to severe inclement weather, Pastor Brian shares a message of how daily small steps of tuning into the frequency of Jesus lead to daily small wins that lead to bigger wins. So if we're on a mission to "Win hearts to Jesus one person at a time," then what is next and who is next for you?

Tuning into the voice of God is crucial to living on mission for God. This week, Pastor Jason teaches us four inhibitors to hearing God's voice and four action steps that will change how you hear the voice of God.

This week, Pastor Brian kicks off the new sermon series with an overview, teaching us the ways we can hear from God. In the coming weeks, we will dive deeper into the specific topics.

In the conclusion of this sermon series, Pastor Brian shares from Matthew 2 as Joseph and Mary had to navigate their relationship challenges along with the challenging world with their young child and the importance of loving sacrificially. 

This week, Pastor Jen portrays Mary, the young mother-to-be of Jesus, and teaches us about the level of surrender and sacrifice needed to carry Jesus with us everywhere we go.

Pastor Brian portrays Joseph and his perspective of the soon-to-be husband of Mary. This series explores the birth of Jesus from a very unique perspective of both Joseph and Mary. Relationships can be challenging during the holiday season, and God's word offers some important insight through Mary and Joseph's unique journey as they carried out the will of the Father as best they could. It is not your typical storybook ending.

This week is a special service featuring all generations. From greeters to worship to preaching, you can expect to hear from all generations as we focus on what it means to be "One for the One" and scripture in John 17:20 and Hebrews 13:15. 

Pastor Jon shares that the peace of God is greater than the storms of life. We are encouraged to trust God’s presence, even when waves rise high and we have a call to step forward confidently, because the One who calms the storm is with you.

In the final week of this series, Pastor Brian brings us to Matthew 11:28. The only thing reliable is God. He never promises to calm every storm, but He will always calm you in them. 

Pain becomes sacred when we can use our healing to help heal others. Pastor Beth shares in this week's message from John 4 and how much Jesus has done in her own life.

This week's sermon, titled "A Different Reflection," by Pastor Brian as he shares Paul's story of reflection on his commitment to the Gospel through his very real sufferings and fragility of life. It's time to move from blame to belief in the healing journey. 

This week, Pastor Brian helps answer the question, "How do you know when pain becomes sacred?" Don't miss Brian and Jen sharing their own sacred pain story, too.

This week, Pastor Jon shares about the difference between wounds and scars. The wounds of the soul that can linger or never truly seem to heal that anchor us to a moment of our past that stop if from moving forward into freedom.

This week, Pastor Brian uncovers the themes of redemption, faith, and God's plan amidst hardship in a continued foundation of theology around pain. The scripture starts in Genesis 37:18-24 with the story of Joseph and how it's all about having a relationship closer to Him.

Pastor Brian shares the strategy involved in conjunction with the new mission and vision of RiverTree Jackson.

Pastor Brian continues to unveil the new mission and vision for RiverTree Jackson.

Pastor Brian shares the new mission of RiverTree Jackson: Winning hearts to Jesus One Person at A Time.

In Week 5, RiverTree Jackson Connections Pastor, Jen Grow, shares from Acts 17:16-34 and how we are called to be scripture-saturated storytellers and how we can believe and study His Word. Living for Him, surrendered to Him and His Word.

In Week 4, RiverTree Jackson Care Pastor, Jon Tisevich, shares from Acts 11:19-25 and how we are called to be healthy multipliers of people. We multiply who we are, not what we do.

In Week 3, Guest Speaker and RiverTree Jackson Prayer Team Leader, Debbie Hout shares from Acts 8:26 and how the most powerful purpose for any follower of Christ is allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them to their next step.

In Week 2, Pastor Brian expands the idea of being sacrifical servants. In both the new and old testament it is commanded to live open handed for the Lord in our time, talent, and treasure. As disciples of Christ we are also called to live this way to transform our communities. 

In Transform Your World all seven churches under the Rivertree movement are sharing the same unified vision based on Acts 1:1-14. In this message, Pastor Brian announces the official mission and vision of the church and what it means to be a true Christ follower. He then goes on to share the four key attributes of a true Christ follower for this to be accomplished. 

In the final Proof of God's existence, Pastor Brian Grow examines the seventh and greatest of them, the Gestalt argument. This states that the whole, all six previous arguments, are greater as a whole than its parts, each proof by itself. Together the existence of God is undeniable. He then circles back to how to argue these things in gentleness and respect so as to better defend our faith and please the Lord to win people for Christ. 

In proof week six, Pastor Jon Tisevich argues for the existence of God by the basis of testimony. As all of history is based on testimony whether written or spoken, the testimony of billions of people throughtout the world would have to be dismissed if God were not real. As there are hundreds of eye wittnesses who were willing to die for the belief that Jesus was raised from the dead ir reasons it must be true. 

In Proof Week 5, Pastor Brian presents the argument of divine belief. People groups throughout all time and culture have had an innate sense of reaching for God. If God did not exist, this would be impossible. He then looks at examples of comman religous and historical stories that are shared by groups on every continent like the global flood. The emergence of these common stories cannot be by chance.

In Proof Week 4, Pastor Brian presents the argument for God based on biblical prophecy. As there are hundreds of clear and specfic biblical prophecies written centuries before they happen, it suggests a divine giver of that knowledge. He also addresses the two most common objections: prophetic metaphor and that they were written after the events took place.  

In Proof Week 3 Pastor Brian will reason that God gave moral laws, also called objective truth, that all cultures throughout time have followed. The argument then follows that if God does not exist, than neither does objective moral value. However, as objective moral values do exist, then God must exist. 

We are continuing our series: Proof. Pastor Brian Grow is presenting the teleological argument, also called the argument of design. The message focuses on the complexity found in biological life and creation, suggesting [demanding] a designer. The probability of all of this happening by chance does not suggest the likelihood or affirmation of evolution. 

In this final message of the series, we shift from “my story” to “their story” with persistent prayer that transforms lives. Explore Luke 18:1-8 and discover why tenacious faith in prayer changes everything and deepens our dependence on God. Get ready to be inspired to keep praying and trust God to move powerfully!
