New Things

The River Audio Podcast with Pastor Jack Holt

Join us as Pastor Jack shares how our past—marked by disappointment, loss, or even trauma—can impede our present and future growth. Pastor Jack explores how to break free from this bondage, inspired by the Apostle Paul’s teaching to forsake the past and reach towards what lies ahead. We're aware that dwelling on past hurts or even past successes can lead to spiritual stagnation, a lukewarm existence that God rejects. Therefore, we must strive continuously for growth, applying this vision to all aspects of life, including our marriages and careers. Acknowledging that complacency is displeasing to God, we understand the need for spiritual zeal, for God calls us to new horizons and blessings. Through the words found in the book of Revelation, we're reminded that our vitality in faith is not to be found in past victories but in the relentless pursuit of God's new works in our lives. Pastor Jack encourages us to not be those who rest on our laurels but those who earnestly seek the 'gold refined by fire', a metaphor for a faith that is vibrant, tested, and true.
