On June 15, Pastor Jeff McLain preached at River Corner Church for Week 4 of our sermon series How Is Your Soul? In this message titled Habits for Seasons of Change, Pastor Jeff teaches from James 1:12–18 and reminds us that in seasons of transition, we need spiritual habits that tether us to God’s unchanging presence, keep us grounded in truth, and form a resilient soul even when everything around us is shifting.
How Is Your Soul Series
How Is Your Soul? is a reflective sermon series from River Corner Church that explores the habits, rhythms, and spiritual practices that help us cultivate a deeper, steadier faith in everyday life. Through biblical teaching and personal reflection, this series guides us to examine our inner world—our emotions, relationships, and spiritual health—and invites us to root ourselves in God’s presence. Whether facing uncertainty, exhaustion, or distraction, this series offers practical tools and gospel-centered encouragement to strengthen your soul and walk more intentionally with Jesus.
