Fresh Bread
Jesus is “the bread of life” (John 6:35) that satisfies the hunger of our souls. Just like we need food every day to go through life, Jesus wants to share the fresh bread of his life with us to keep us healthy and growing in relationship with God. To foster spiritual health, The River desires for every person to spend consistent time in God’s presence talking to him in prayer and finding spiritual nourishment in the truth of the Bible.
