He Will Swaddle Me November 30th, 2025 | River of God | Pastor Donald GrayIn this week’s message, Pastor Donald Gray takes us back to the manger scene in Luke 2 and reveals a powerful truth often overlooked: the same God who wrapped Himself in human flesh is the God who wraps you in His care today.From Luke 2:7–14, Pastor Donald shows how the humility of Christ’s birth—laid in a manger, wrapped in swaddling cloths—speaks to a Savior who comes close to our vulnerability. Just as a newborn is wrapped tightly for warmth, safety, and stability, God desires to surround His children with His peace, His presence, and His protection.Connecting this to Psalm 23:3–5, we discover the Shepherd who restores our soul, leads us into stillness, and prepares a table for us even in the presence of our enemies. The same God who swaddled Himself in humanity is the Shepherd who swaddles our hearts with comfort, guidance, and strength.This message invites us to bring our unrest, our anxieties, and our unsteady places to the One who gently gathers us, holds us, and reassures us:“I will keep you, I will steady you, and I will surround you with My love.”Be encouraged to rest in the arms of the One who came low so we could be lifted high, and who continues to wrap us in His mercy every single day.📖 Scriptures Covered:Luke 2:7–14Psalm 23:3–5🙌 Like, Share & SubscribeDon’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more Bible teachings and sermons.🔔 Tap the bell icon to stay updated with new messages.📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel:River of God Channel🌐 Stay Connected:Newsletter: eepurl.com/ioxFB2Website: https://rogcc.com📍 Join us in person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231(Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY)🎯 Relevant Hashtags:#HeWillSwaddleMe #Luke2 #Psalm23 #PeaceOfGod #Restoration #GoodShepherd #ChristOurComfort #JesusSaves #ChristmasSeason #BibleTeaching #Sermon #RiverOfGod #PastorDonaldGray

Reasons You're MISSING OUT on God's BlessingsNovember 23rd, 2025 | River of God | Pastor Donald GrayIn this week’s message, Pastor Donald Gray unpacks the deep, healing power of forgiveness through the lens of Scripture and the symbolism of bread. Just as bread sustains our physical bodies, forgiveness sustains our spiritual lives—shaping our hearts, restoring relationships, and aligning us with the character of Christ.Drawing from Matthew 18:21–22, Pastor Donald explores Jesus’ radical call to forgive “seventy times seven”—a forgiveness that isn’t counted, but cultivated. He then connects Matthew 6:21–22, revealing how the condition of our hearts affects everything we see and do.From 1 Corinthians 11:24–25, we’re reminded that Jesus broke the bread and offered His body as the ultimate act of forgiveness, inviting us to walk in the same grace toward others. And through John 6:35–41, we see Jesus as the Bread of Life—the One who satisfies our deepest hunger for mercy, reconciliation, and renewal.This message challenges us to examine the places where we hold back forgiveness, and invites us to receive the daily “bread” of God’s grace so we can extend that same grace to others.Be encouraged to let God soften your heart, heal old wounds, and reshape your perspective as you feed on His Word and walk in His forgiveness.📖 Scriptures Covered:Matthew 18:21–22Matthew 6:21–221 Corinthians 11:24–25John 6:35–41🙌 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more Bible teachings and sermons.🔔 Click the bell icon to stay updated with new messages.📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel:River of God Channel🌐 Stay Connected:Newsletter: eepurl.com/ioxFB2Website: https://rogcc.com📍 Join us in person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231 (Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY)🎯 Relevant Hashtags:#BreadOfForgiveness #Matthew18 #Matthew6 #1Corinthians11 #John6 #Forgiveness #BreadOfLife #GraceAndMercy #BibleTeaching #Sermon #RiverOfGod #PastorDonaldGray

The Cost of Obedience November 16th, 2025 | River of God | Sis SharonIn this powerful message, Sis Sharon teaches on what it truly means to walk in obedience to God — not partial obedience, not delayed obedience, but full surrender to His voice. Drawing from 1 Samuel 15:1–23, she unpacks the story of King Saul, who chose preference over obedience and paid the price for it. Even when Saul believed he was doing “mostly” what God asked, the Lord revealed that obedience is better than sacrifice and that rebellion opens the door to spiritual downfall.Sis Sharon then connects this lesson to the calling of the first disciples in Luke 5:1–11. Peter, exhausted and empty-handed after a night of failure, chose to obey Jesus’ instruction to launch out into the deep one more time. That moment of obedience unlocked a miraculous catch and a life-changing calling. Where Saul resisted God’s Word, Peter submitted — and heaven responded.This message challenges every believer to examine the places where we negotiate with God, delay His instructions, or cling to our own understanding. True obedience positions us for clarity, breakthrough, and purpose. When God speaks, our response determines the harvest that follows.📖 Scriptures Covered:1 Samuel 15:1–23Luke 5:1–11🙌 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more Bible teachings and sermons.🔔 Click the bell icon to stay updated with new messages.📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel:River of God Channel🌐 Stay Connected:Newsletter: eepurl.com/ioxFB2Website: https://rogcc.com📍 Join us in person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231 (Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY)🎯 Relevant Hashtags#TheCostOfObedience #1Samuel15 #Luke5 #ObedienceToGod #BiblicalObedience #FaithMessage #ChristianTeaching #BibleStudy #Sermon2025 #RiverOfGod #SisSharon #LaunchIntoTheDeep #ObedienceOverSacrifice #ChristianLiving #HolySpiritTeaching
