For the past twenty years, River Bible Church has worshiped the Lord Jesus Christ and served the Verde Valley.

We're a fellowship of sinners saved by God's AMAZING grace! Some of us grew up in Church, others of us not so much. Here's the crazy thing - many of us who grew up in the Church ran away, but now we're back. Others of us started coming to Church much later in life. And it seems that we all grew up living life doing things our own way at one point or another. Needless to say, that didn't work out so well.

In this sermon from Matthew 27:27–44, Dr. Dustin Daniels walks us through the mocking and crucifixion of Jesus, not just as a brutal historical event, but as the moment when Christ became a vivid portrait of our sin and our only hope of salvation. You’ll see how every detail—from the crown of thorns to the sign over Christ's head—fulfills Scripture and reveals a King who willingly refused to save Himself so He could save us. If you’ve ever wondered what the cross really means for your guilt, your suffering, and your daily life in the church, this sermon will help you see Jesus more clearly and respond with deeper gratitude and faith. Watch and be reminded why we run again and again to the empty cross and to the family God has given us in His church.
