🕊️ The Demands of the New Kingdom – Justin Hosking
Jesus calls us to a 💖 righteousness deeper than the Pharisees, not just good actions, but a changed heart. True righteousness isn’t earned; it’s a 🎁 gift through faith in Jesus, who is God’s righteousness.
When we believe, the Holy Spirit empowers us to 🙏 pray like Jesus, 💞 love our enemies, and 🌱 live for the Father’s glory.
⚖️ Don’t judge others harshly — first remove the plank from your own eye, then help your brother.
✨ True Kingdom living: Receive Jesus’ righteousness, walk in humility, and let His Spirit shape your heart and actions.
Apple River Community Church is a congregation of people, conservative and evangelical in doctrine, who love each other and are committed to serving the Lord and their community.
The church has a rich heritage, having been founded in 1888 by Scandinavian immigrants.
In 2001, we opened the doors of our new facility on the intersection of US Highways 8 and 46. Our name was changed from Apple River Evangelical Free Church to Apple River Community Church. We had a new building and a new vision for reaching out to those around us with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ through various outreach ministries.
We believe that our Lord is at work here at ARCC and that He is building the Body to enable us to accomplish the mission He has given us. Perhaps He is leading YOU to become part of what He is doing here. We are still a “work in progress,” but we are very happy with the progress that has been taking place at Apple River Community Church!
