I hope my posts make you laugh and sometimes cry, and always challenge you to take that next step in your relationship with Christ.

“MONEY LIES!” Sunday, March 9th

March 6, 2014 by Pastor David Rathel

Money Lies.  It’s true!  

When you have a lot of it you feel like everything is OK and you can do whatever you want.  When you think you don’t have enough it feels like you need more in order to be happy.  Neither one of those extremes are true!  

The problem is that money is often the number one competitor for our hearts, time, and sense of security.  The bottom line is that its easy to believe that money promises to give us the happiness and security that comes from God alone.  

During the first two weeks of our new series, BE RICH, we faced the fact that everyone in our church qualifies as someone who is very “Rich” by global standards.   This Sunday we’ll face the fact that our money lies to us!  Jesus called it “…the deceitfulness of riches…” in Mark 4:19.  

Join us this Sunday and you’ll be able to say: “I WILL NOT TRUST IN RICHES. BUT IN HIM WHO RICHLY PROVIDES.” 

Check out our YouTube video of last Sunday’s service to hear my daughter’s version of The “Christian” Cup Song, Worship in SPANISH, ENGLISH and CHINESE, as well as our new Pastoral Intern’s message that I would call – “The Best Message Of The Year” at RiverTown. 

All for Jesus,

Pastor David Rathel

P.S. I HAVE A CONFESSION.  As a Pastor I hate spring forward Sunday.  Somebody always forgets and misses the the blessings in God’s word and worship they need to make it through the week. The message and mission of our ministry always shines with the light and love of Christ on this Sunday just like all the others.  So, don’t forget to Spring Forward!  Set your hearts and clocks ahead one hour Saturday night.  I can’t wait to see you!
