River Corner Church
River Corner Church is a growing church community of everyday people who gather to worship God, follow Jesus, and serve through life together. We gather on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM to worship and experience God, study the scriptures, journey through life together, and to partner with the Holy Spirit. It is our hope that you will gather with our simple community of Jesus followers.
Come as you are—just be yourself.

Hope in the Chaos: Walking Through Psalm 42
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Nobody escapes life without facing pain, grief, or unanswered questions. In this message, Rip Wahlberg walks us through Psalm 42, exploring how we navigate seasons of deep sorrow and spiritual drought. By examining the psalm's raw imagery—from the deer panting for water to tears serving as daily food—Rip reminds us that God is not offended by our honest questions or brokenness. Even when life feels chaotic and overwhelmed by waves of hardship, God’s steadfast love (hesed) remains higher, deeper, and bigger than our trials.
Rip Wahlberg is an author, pastor, speaker, and host of the Discovering God Podcast. Formerly the pastor of Sanctuary Vineyard Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Rip has dedicated years to leading worship, teaching Scripture, and walking alongside others through grief and spiritual formation. He holds a degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Regent University, where he also pursued graduate theological studies. Author of Shattered, Rip speaks with vulnerability, deep biblical insight, and raw honesty about finding God in seasons of loss and lament. He lives in Lancaster with his wife of over 28 years.
