River & Way: Recent Episodes
River & Way
In Hebrews 2:14-3:1, we see how Jesus breaks the power of death and frees us from the fear that keeps us enslaved. Like Edmund in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, we are tempted by fear—fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough—but Christ’s victory calls us to live in freedom. As we fix our thoughts on Jesus, we are invited to step into the new life He has won for us, leaving behind the grip of death and walking into the hope of resurrection.
We step into the story of the Magi in Matthew 2—a journey of seeking, worship, and revelation. The wise men traveled from the East, guided by a star, to worship the newborn King of the Jews, teaching us that true worship is faithful, communal, and found in the sacred, not the spectacular. As we enter the season of Epiphany, we reflect on how encountering Jesus should transform our lives, leading us to worship Him not just with our words, but with our whole selves.
IMAGINE THE KINGDOM: As a community, we are exploring the various parables of Jesus throughout the Gospels. The parables are a word picture of the kingdom of God, and Jesus tells these stories with the intent of transforming our view of reality. The reality of Jesus the King and the reign of His Kingdom. We are invited to become active citizens in the Kingdom of God over the course of our entire lives.

Our lives are made up of the habits and rhythms that we practice. In this teaching series we are going to lean in to learn “The Practice of Community.” There is a unique call of the church to live in a Spirit empowered, healthy, holistic and intentional way with one another that is different from the other communities we may already be a part of. At the core of following Jesus is being a part of a community of people that you follow Jesus with. Through this series we are going to dive into the Scriptures to look at the purpose of community, the function of community, and lay some foundational bricks on the path of who River & Way as a church is becoming as we practice the way of Jesus together in Bakersfield.

Often Easter is seen simply as the weekend that begins with Good Friday and ends with Resurrection Sunday, but historically the Church continues to celebrate the resurrected life of Christ until the time of Pentecost. This season is called Eastertide, (“tide” is an older English word that means “time” or “season”) it is a fifty-day season of the Christian year set apart to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ and its implications for our lives. We will be teaching through the resurrection story found in Luke 24 and into the book of Acts, chapters 1 and 2.

BREATHING DIFFERENT AIR As we step into the new year as a community, we are exploring the spiritual discipline of practicing Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day blessed by God and set aside for rest and worship. We as humans are bent and conditioned towards restlessness, so we model the restfulness of Jesus in the practice of Sabbath - which is more than just a day, but instead a posture we live from all week long. Join us as we practice the way of Jesus together in the city. This teaching is on Sabbath & Work by Brandon Burch.
