Expositions of God’s Word
River Oaks is committed to regular, faithful teaching of God’s Word, allowing the key idea of a biblical passage shape the key idea and application of every sermon. Our pastors are called to “preach the word…in and out of season” (2 Tim 4:2), for it is “is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tim 3:26).

Current Series: Raised
