In the final message from the book of Jonah Pastor Derek shows how Jonah’s anger is contrasted against God’s love, and asks the questions if we like wise wish God’s favor only for ourselves?

The post Jonah 4:1-11- Unselfish Love appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
Grace is a word that has suffered a devaluation withing the church. Nineveh was the most unlikeley candidate for God’s love, one that angered the prophet.

The post Jonah 3:1-10- The Grace of God appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.

God’s plans can never be thwarted. Even in Jonah’s disobedience, the plan of God progresses without modification.

And yet despite this failure, […]

The post The War Inside (Galatians 5:15-26) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.

The post Two Covenants (Galatians 4:21-5:1) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.

The post Testimony – Christian Barrett appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
Last time, the dividing line between the Law and Faith was made clear. But if all that saves is faith, why give the Law in the first place? Paul answers the question through the story of Abraham. Detailing the usefulness of the Law in its ability to point to the sinfulness of human hearts. It […]

The post The Division of Law and Faith appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
Having been made aware of the foolishness of trying to save himself through the law, Paul is zealous for the Church to rely on the finished work of Christ; not that of man. He even finds himself in a position in which he must publicly confront Peter for his hypocrisy. As Christians, we are often […]
The post Faith’s Rebuke (Galatians 2:11-21) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
Paul’s message was recognized and affirmed by the original disciples in Jerusalem. How do we recognize truth? Is there an objective standard of what is real or does it all depend on the individual perspectives of man?

Paul begins his letter to the churches in Galatia out of dire need. Serious error has crept into the church and is leading the people astray. There is only one Gospel that can save. It is an exclusive Gospel and Christ, not man, is the foundation. When we seek a gospel that places authority in […]

The conclusion of our study on the Book of Zechariah. What are we to make of the descriptions of the end that Zechariah reveals in the final chapters of his book? What can we know with certainty?
The post Triumph of the End (Zechariah 13:1-14:21) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
Zechariah details the differences between a good and an evil shepherd. He describes the great sorrow that is experienced by those who rejected Him. The One they took for granted is the One they now desire most. In our own lives, we can so easily become complacent and forget what a treasure Christ is. God […]
The post Painful Realization (Zechariah 11:1-12:14) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
In the first of 2 oracles, Zechariah describes the judgement of God on nations whose pride was in themselves, and the redemption of God’s chosen people through a saving King who will come in power and glory.

The post Pride’s Destruction (Zechariah 9:1-10:12) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
Zechariah outlines the expected behavior of those who follow God. This includes support for the poor, the fatherless, and widows. However, without the Spirit of God, these efforts will succumb to the selfish intentions of man. Concepts like socialism and communism may start with good intentions, but by seeking autonomy form God, they are doomed […]
The post The Social Justice of God (Zechariah 7:1-8:23) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
Zechariah describes the darkness and cursing due to sinful human kingdoms. And yet, we see a picture of the Branch, sitting on a throne as both King and High Priest. What functions does he perform in these roles and how can we reconcile the presence of evil kingdoms under Christ’s Sovereignty?
The post Dark Kingdoms, A Throne of Peace appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
God’s plan goes far beyond the priesthood of Joshua and the Nation of Israel. Zechariah introduces, “The Branch,” of whom Joshua is just a symbol. Though Israel must start small, it is “the faith of a mustard seed” that produces a large tree. The Kingdom of God encompasses the whole earth and features as its […]
The post Starting Small, Cleansing All (Zechariah 3:1-4:14) appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
What does it mean that God is jealous? When we think of jealousy we often think in selfish terms. But is God capable of such a seemingly shallow emotion? As Zechariah outlines God’s plan for His people, we begin to get a better understanding that this “godly jealousy” is really the opposite of what we […]

The post The 3 Marks of Discipleship appeared first on RiverWind Church | Newburgh, Indiana.
God is faithful in his both his execution of judgement, and his offer of mercy. This is displayed time and again as we briefly survey Israel’s history leading up to the time of Zechariah’s ministry.
