River Corner Church
River Corner Church is a growing church community of everyday people who gather to worship God, follow Jesus, and journey through life together.
Our small church community is uniquely caring, simple, laid-back, and intergenerational. As a church, we want to be a welcoming, safe, and healing community for those who are seeking, hurting, or need a place to belong. Our practices are both contemplative (reflective) and charismatic (Spirit-driven), creating an atmosphere that is both conversational and informative. The times we share are intentional and intimate, and a mix between modern and traditional. We want to be a place in which love and honor are lived out, where humility is central, and where hospitality is woven into the threads of our community. There is room at the table.

Appetite, Affirmation, and Ambition: Inventorying Our Ambitions (Lent, Matthew 4:1-11)
On March 12, Pastor Jeff McLain looked at the third of the three seductions in Matthew 4:1-11, the temptation of Ambition. In this passage, we saw how the why behind our ambition is one of the ways that we are tempted to question God's promises. When we are insecure in our true identity, we will live into false identities, and develop ambitions to provide success for ourselves. If we lose our identity in Jesus, we lose out on what God has for us to experience.
Throughout Lent (2023), we explored how life (both the evil and brokenness in this world) tries to undermine the identity that we have in Jesus. The confidence that we have in our identity is often hijacked when life gets us to doubt God's provision, God's protection and God's promises. Doubts that undermine our confidence usually come through our temptations of appetite (Lust of the Flesh), affirmation (Pride of Life) and ambition (Lust of the Eyes). In this Lent series, we look at what it means to have our identity firmed up by Jesus and empowered by God's Spirit - so that we do not lose ourselves to our unhealthy and unhelpful appetites, need for affirmation, and ambitions.
