On Sunday night, Riley was given the opportunity to present the vision and plan of Sovereign Grace Church Parramatta to Sovereign Grace Church, Sydney at their annual Envision Night! It was a joyful and memorable occasion as we take a step forward in planting this church! It was such a great sight to see the 28 members of the congregation who are joining the Plant Team to stand and be identified officially by the church! And then on Wednesday night, the church gathered for a prayer and praise night, where we prayed in particular for Parramatta and laid hands on the team! May God bless us as we move forward!
Sovereign Grace Parramatta is joyfully part of a global family of churches, Sovereign Grace Churches. We are involved in many countries around the world, training, equipping, and planting.

It is with great joy that we get to announce that we currently have 27 members from our church who are joining the Parramatta Launch Team! This launch team will have the daunting and exciting task of taking up the call to make disciples in Parramatta. Please be praying for these men, women, and their families as they embark on the journey together!
In this sermon, Riley unpacks the story of how Levi (or Matthew) began to follow Jesus. We see that Jesus’ mission was not what was expected! Jesus says, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” It is only those who realize how sick with sin they are that get their souls healed.

In this sermon, Riley preaches on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector at Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville in the U.S. Riley explains how we must humble our selves before God so that we can receive His mercy.
