Be enriched and encouraged as you listen to the latest talks and music from River Church. We believe in a personal relationship with God which is made possible by the life, death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ; and that relationship affects everything we do. Our experience is that the supernatural power of God, which we read about in the Bible, can still be known today in our own lives (You can expect one to three new MP3 podcast episodes each week).https://riverchurch.org.ukHubb, www.hubb.digitalenThe latest talks from River Church in Slough, Maidenhead, Marlow and Englefield GreenRiver Church in Maidenhead, Marlow, Slough and Englefield GreencleanRiver Church Officehello@riverchurch.org.ukGift of Faith Looking at the Holy Spirit Gift of Faith and how it appears in the Bible, as well as in our lives.m_363909Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMThttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=363909&fullpage=TrueGift of Faith Looking at the Holy Spirit Gift of Faith and how it appears in the Bible, as well as in our lives.Mary Porter00:31:24https://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1123875.jpghttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1123875.jpgHis Banner over Us when we understand who we are and who we belong to, we have confidence to step out in His powerm_363695Sun, 31 May 2026 12:00:00 GMThttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=363695&fullpage=TrueHis Banner over Us when we understand who we are and who we belong to, we have confidence to step out in His powerJuliet Ioakeim00:28:56https://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1051376.jpghttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1051376.jpgAnthea reflects on the final part of our Mission statement: Bringing Hope. - Do you carry hope - deep, well-placed Loving God, Loving Others, Resurrection hope? - Our hope remains in this upside-down kingdom, led by a peaceful protester who came from nothing and who empowers us to lead lives of radical selflessness.m_363228Sun, 24 May 2026 12:00:00 GMThttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=363228&fullpage=TrueAnthea reflects on the final part of our Mission statement: Bringing Hope. - Do you carry hope - deep, well-placed Loving God, Loving Others, Resurrection hope? - Our hope remains in this upside-down kingdom, led by a peaceful protester who came from nothing and who empowers us to lead lives of radical selflessness.Anthea Wratten00:21:19https://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/917078.jpghttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/917078.jpgLoving One Another We are the church the bride of Christ with our mess and all and Jesus wants to bring us into freedom together m_363219Sun, 24 May 2026 12:00:00 GMThttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=363219&fullpage=TrueLoving One Another We are the church the bride of Christ with our mess and all and Jesus wants to bring us into freedom together Paula Weston00:30:09https://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1361779.jpghttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1361779.jpgThe Word of Knowledge Looking at the Holy Spirit gift, Word of Knowledge and how it worked in the Bible, and how it manifests in our lives today.m_362918Sun, 17 May 2026 12:00:00 GMThttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=362918&fullpage=TrueThe Word of Knowledge Looking at the Holy Spirit gift, Word of Knowledge and how it worked in the Bible, and how it manifests in our lives today.Mary Porter00:30:57https://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1123875.jpghttps://riverchurch.org.uk/Images/Content/27/1123875.jpg...and (maybe) from 'Me' to 'Us'.
