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.

Today, we watch the disciples—especially Peter—move from bold promises to heartbreaking failure in just a few hours, and yet we also see the steady, sovereign love of Jesus who already knows their weakness and plans their restoration. This sermon, “Never Say Never,” walks verse-by-verse through Jesus’ prediction that all will fall away, explains how this fulfills God’s redemptive plan from Zechariah and beyond, and shows how Peter’s pride and blind spots mirror our own struggles today. If you’ve ever overestimated your strength, been blindsided by a trial, or wondered what God is doing in the middle of your hardship, this message will help you see how the Lord uses tests, failures, and repentance to realign our hearts with His will. Watch the sermon to be both sobered by the disciples’ collapse and deeply encouraged by Christ’s commitment to pursue, forgive, and restore His people.
