The River just opened in their NEW location (across the street from their original location). Wow, what a dream come true! God has surely blessed the River and granted the River much Favor! And when you walk into the new building you will be greeted by a wonderful entry area … and in place of the original blackboard, there now is a much larger Whiteboard! The two original Scriptures (from twenty years ago when The River started) remain at the two top corners… followed by a Scripture of the week. The weekly Scriptures will be aligned with FINDING JOY! Here is how it looks at the very beginning:

The master was full of praise. “Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!” (Matthew 25:21 NLT)

Jesus: People cannot save themselves. But with God, all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26 Voice)

For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. (Matthew 16:27 NET)

Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28 NCV)

Jesus: All those who stand before others and say they believe in Me, I will say before My Father in Heaven that they belong to Me. (Matthew 10:32 NCV)

Don’t worry and say, “What will we eat?” and “What will we drink?”… Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all these things will be given to you too (Matthew 6:31,33 NCV, Voice)

Jesus answered, “The Scripture says, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4 Phillips)
