Jesus said “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Crossroads Asia - Mark Fortney
June 5, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro, Mark Fortney
41% of the worlds population is "unreached" - no Bible, no churches, no neighboring believers. And of those 48% of the unreached live in just 6 countries - India, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Along comes Crossroads Asia. Pastor Sean interviews the Co-Founder and President Mark Fortney...a former businessman who answered God's calling to attend seminary, Pastored, served as Missions Pastor under Chuck Swindoll, and now leading a ministry with the goal to make God famous in key "crossroads" cities.

KC Catholic Kicker Causes Controversy
May 21, 2024 • Ephesians 5
Off Sides is really the call...
Conservative Catholic Kansas City Super Bowl Champ Harrison Butker delivers the commencement speech at The Benedictine College where his words earned him a standing ovation, and another part where his comments were followed by 18 seconds of applause. It was that comment that Media jumped on (and others that were pro-family/pro-life), and forced the NFL to release a statement distancing them from the content of the speech.
Pastor Sean Azzaro gets in the game himself with a message to be bold...and you can do it too.
Forgiveness
May 14, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro
Forgiveness...it's the heart of the matter...even if...even if...
Wait...
Lets see what the Word says about the matter...starting with the Lord's Prayer, and what Jesus said from the Cross.
If forgiveness or unforgiveness is something you're dealing with, Pastor Sean puts on the counselling hat with the "Reaching For Real Life Co-host".
Why Men Hate Small Groups
May 7, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro
Really? They do? Here's another fun yet serious conversation on some top proposed reasons why men don't want to get plugged like fear of getting called on, or getting called out. Pastor Sean says its not supposed to be that way because "there IS NO condemnation for those in Christ Jesus...". This topic follows another interesting development of high profile personalities expressing their faith like Russel Brand, Jordon Peterson, and Candice Owens.
Community
April 30, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro
"Community" is in the name River City COMMUNITY Church. What does that mean? What are the benefits? How do I find it? Pastor Sean says when when you chose to follow Christ, Community comes with the package. And you need it more than you know.
Christian Nationalism
April 23, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro
Christian Nationalism...it's the new buzzword...or label that's not meant to be patriotic at all.
In fact the media says it's dangerous.
What does it mean?
Pastor Sean found four definitions according to a New York Times opinion piece and breaks it down.
Sean also gives his quick take on the drama last week with Mark Driscoll who charged a men's conference of being idolatrous...and then he was called out for being "out of line".
Hit Play - Listen - Share - Repeat.
Reuven Doron From Israel
April 16, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro • Psalm 122:6–7
As Iran inters the Gaza War with a 300 missel attack, Pastor Sean reaches out to our friend, Pastor, Bible Teacher, and former Israeli soldier Reuven Doron direct from Israel.
Hear todays headlines from the Israeli perspective, and understand the huge opportunity this is for his country to find the Messiah. It's also comforting to hear that Israel is praying for this country too.
Easter And The Eclipse
April 9, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro • Psalm 19:1
Many Researches/Scholars suggest that when Christ was crucified, a total eclipse caused the darkness in the day. So almost 2000 years later (and earlier this week) another eclipse hits the US between Easter and Passover...and we're still here. No blood moon...no apocalypse...no rapture...what's up with that?
What does the Word say about the coming of Christ? And the heavens declaring the glory of God?
Pastor Sean will bring it back down to Earth and have some fun with it too.
Control - Man Wants It - God's Got It
March 26, 2024
It's Easter Week and of course you're invited to River City's Church in the Amphitheatre! The Resurrection is real and your faith is real! Meanwhile in America a Catholic couple in Massachusetts were denied approval to adopt a child because of their beliefs. Pastor Sean says it's always about control...just as it was with the religious leaders and government during the time of Christ. What's a Christian to do? For now...hit "play".
Saint Patrick The Missionary
March 12, 2024 • Pastor Sean Azzaro
This Sunday is St. Patrick's Day - and what comes to mind is wearing green, green beverages, parades, and maybe something about a guy who drove snakes out of Ireland, and something about a shamrock and the Trinity. Irishman and Pastor Sean sheds some light on the real man named Patrick who accepted the call to the mission field known as Ireland.
