In this message from River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain explores Matthew 28:16–20 and the eighth of our eight church commitments—a commitment to grow as disciples and invest in others as disciplemakers.

Drawing from the Great Commission and the rabbinic apprenticeship model of Jesus, Jeff reflects on what it means to be a community that not only learns the ways, words, and works of Jesus, but intentionally passes them on. Like Bob Buford’s image of “my fruit grows on other people’s trees,” Matthew’s ending reminds us that the baton has been handed to us. Jesus calls ordinary people to become disciplers—those who pour their lives into others so that faith multiplies.

Mountaintop moments with Jesus are never meant to stay on the mountain. They send us out. And as we go, teach, and baptize, we do so with His presence and authority: “I am with you always.”

In this message from River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain explores Romans 12:9–21 and the seventh of our eight church commitments—a commitment to live honorably and remain accountable to one another.

Drawing from Michael Youssef’s The Prayer That God Answers, Jeff reflects on what it means to be a community “bought by the blood of Christ” and bound together through mutual encouragement, accountability, and prayerful support.

Like the image of an old Amish barn raising, Paul’s words remind us that church is not about getting ahead, but getting together. We are called to be people of sincere love, honor, and humility—lifting each other up, rooting out envy, and reflecting the transforming grace of Christ’s kingdom.

In this message from River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain explores Colossians 4:2–6 and the sixth of our eight church commitments—faithful participation in God’s mission. The church doesn’t exist merely to gather, but to be shaped and sent. Worship together forms hearts for everyday faithfulness in the places we live, work, and play.

Jeff reminds us that Paul’s words to the church in Colossae call believers to prayer, perception, and proclamation—to live wisely toward outsiders, make the most of every opportunity, and let every word be filled with grace and seasoned with salt. Mission isn’t about strategy or size; it’s about embodying Christ’s light and goodness in daily life.

About River Corner Church

River Corner Church is a simple community of Jesus followers, rooted in Scripture, prayer, and life together. We are not driven by flash or size, but by a desire to be faithful right here, right now, in the place God has planted us. Since 1760, our church has quietly sought to love God and love our neighbors—gathering around the table, caring for one another, and welcoming others into the presence of Christ. Our hope is not to be impressive, but to be surrendered, formed, and active for Jesus in the ordinary rhythms of daily life.

In this message from River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain explores Hebrews 10:19–25 and the fifth of our eight church commitments—presence and participation through regular gathering. Church isn’t about control, counting, or convincing; it’s about diatribō—letting Christ wear off on us as we regularly gather in community and are formed together for God’s kingdom.

Jeff reminds us that when we meet, we practice our eschatological hope—a preview of the day we will be gathered to Christ. Learn why our commitment to meet together isn’t about metrics but about belonging, encouragement, and transformation.

On October 19 at River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain continued our “8 Commitments” series with “The Church We Build Together,” drawn from Colossians 3:1–17.

In this message, Pastor Jeff reminded us that the church isn’t something we attend—it’s something we build together. Drawing from Paul’s vision in Colossians, we were challenged to invest who we are—our time, gifts, and hearts—into the church’s worship, community, and mission. When Christ’s peace rules our hearts and His word dwells richly among us, our shared life becomes the overflow of His presence. The church becomes not a business or a program, but a family shaped by love, gratitude, and the work of the Holy Spirit.

On October 12, at River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff continued our “8 Commitments” series with “Committed to A Shared Statement of Faith,” drawn from 1 Timothy 4:1–16.

In this message, Pastor Jeff McLain reminded us that good doctrine keeps us anchored when the waves of culture crash against us. Drawing from Paul’s words to Timothy, we were challenged to “train ourselves to be godly,” recognizing that faith, like fitness, requires practice, discipline, and perseverance. Doctrine is not about winning arguments but about shaping our lives and keeping the church healthy and strong. As a community, we are called to stay rooted in Scripture, accountable to one another, and centered on the teachings of Jesus—so that when the world swells with confusion, we remain grounded in truth and grace.

On October 5, at River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff continued our "8 Commitments" series with "A Local Community of Trust and Commitment" from Philippians 2.

In examining Philippians 2, we see how Paul calls the church to a shared humility and unity modeled after Christ Himself. Pastor Jeff reminded us that trust is the foundation of all meaningful relationships and that membership at River Corner Church is not about status but about linking arms in a hard-won unity and a costly holiness. As we follow Jesus together, we build a community marked by integrity, humility, and love—a trusted family of faith where we can grow, serve, and shine like stars in the world.
