We bless you in the name of the Lord!”Summer of PsalmsMore Than Conquerors (Psalm 129). Full teaching video on YouTube here.The River Church, Oregon City, OregonTheRiverOC.com

Everyone Is Devoted (Titus 3:8-15)
Jun 500:42:13Tap to summarizeJeff Patterson preached through Titus 3:8-15, on Sunday, May 31, 2026, as The River Church completed a teaching series studying Paul's Epistle to Titus. Titus 3:8-158 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. 9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. 14 And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.Grace be with you all.Titus: Godly Living in the Truth Everyone Is Devoted (Titus 3v8-15)The River Church, Oregon City, OregonTheRiverOC.com

Grace-Filled Living (Titus 3:1-8)
May 2800:37:30Tap to summarizeJerry Waggener preached through Titus 3:1-8, on Sunday, May 24, 2026, as The River Church continued a new series studying Paul's Epistle to Titus. Titus 3:1-81 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.Titus: Godly Living in the Truth Grace-Filled Living (Titus 3v1-8)The River Church, Oregon City, OregonTheRiverOC.com
