The Bema Podcast (Genesis 1-4)

Crosstown

Monday at 7:30 PM

When we carry our childhood perceptions of the Bible into adulthood that is known as the lullaby effect. We no longer pay attention to the words of scripture because we believe we know the story. But what if we didn't? What if we heard the story over and over and forgot to ask the questions about whether this makes sense? Asking questions, especially those questions that seem inconsequential, enables us to deepen our faith and evelop a deeper understanding of scripture and God's purpose. This group is for women who want to recognize the impact of the lullaby effect, ask questions, and grow closer to God through a deeper understanding of the Bible. Using the Bema podcast as a guide, we will walk through the first four chapter of Genesis. I believe you will walk away. having a deeper appreciation for the wonders and greatness of God and that we are simply meant to trust His story.

Explore is a Core Group designed to inspire and enlarge your global heart as we study the biblical basis of missions and hear from some of our great missionaries. At River Valley, our heart is global because God’s heart is global. That’s why we believe that every follower of Jesus Christ should explore and know their role within God’s Great Commission.

The Knowledge of the Holy

Crosstown

Saturday at 7:00 AM

This will be an every other week study of Tozer's classic "The Knowledge of the Holy;" a study of the character and attributes of God. We will meet for 90 minutes each time for fellowship, a meal, and discussion of two chapters from the book each time in a relaxed setting. From the Amazon website: This book, "by beloved evangelical author and Christian mystic A.W. Tozer, illuminates God’s attributes—from wisdom, to grace, to mercy—and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. Informative as well as inspirational, The Knowledge of the Holy returns the towering Christian concept of God to the center of the religious mind, fostering a renewed appreciation of the magnitude of God’s glory. This timeless gift breathes a spirit of devotion for all Christians, from those who are newly arrived to those who are committing themselves anew to Jesus Christ." Please purchase the book on your own ($13). It's available on amazon.com.

The Promise Principle | Mike Watson & Levi Watson

Apple Valley

Tuesday at 6:30 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands. Click here to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan: http://leaders.rivervalley.org/promise The group meets at the Byerly’s cafe every Tuesday morning.
