<description>TEACHING SERIES: I Want In
TITLE You’re In
BY: Nathanael Ballew
DATE: Sunday 6 October 2024
BIBLE PASSAGES:  Ephesians Chapter 1, verse 13-14

EXCERPT:

Mahatma Gandhi famously once said, 'I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.' It's not difficult to understand what he meant. Why is it that followers of Jesus seem, sometimes, to be so unlike the Jesus they follow? Why does Christianity often appear to be bad news, rather than good? And, for some of us, the question is much more personal... why is it so hard to see any change in our own lives? If Jesus came to change the world, why can't I seem to change the patterns and actions in my own life?

Welcome: 

What's true of Riverside Church when we meet together in-person is still true of us online. We are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Riverside is a church made up of people from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences all with one thing in common; our discovery of God and His amazing love. We hope you will feel at home among us and that you will find our weekly services, events and groups welcoming and relevant to your life.

Whoever you are, whatever you believe, you're so welcome in this community. To find out more about Riverside Church please visit our website: https://riverside-church.org.uk/

EXCERPT:

When you were young, did you judge a Christmas present on the size of the present? Were you slightly disappointed when you got a smaller parcel than someone else? What if God offers something to you that is the best possible gift, and yet you completed misjudged what it was.
What if his gift to you was so much more wonderful than you ever realised.

What if Jesus wants to disrupt everything you ever believed to be true? What if the offer he extends to you is more incredible than you ever imagined, more disruptive to your life than you thought, and more transformational than you could ever dream?

<description>TEACHING SERIES: A Necessary Embrace
TITLE: I Will Not Let You Go
BY: Tim Chilvers
DATE: Sunday 15 September 2024
BIBLE PASSAGES: Genesis 32:22-32

EXCERPT:

There is one flag around the world that signifies surrender – the white flag. In war, when the white flag is raised, the battle is over. What if we could wave a white flag towards God?
In the ancient story of Jacob, we witness a ‘white flag’ being waved. But, this white flag is no ordinary flag. In fact, as we look closely, we get to see that the flag is being held by Jacob, and by God! And maybe in that moment we realise something – that faith and struggling are much more closely linked than we would ever imagine.

DATE: Sunday 8 September 2024

EXCERPT:

Imagine if you came face to face with God, what do you think would happen? What impact would it have on your life? The ancient figure of Jacob discovered that it changed everything. He was never the same again. That’s because once you’ve been face to face with God, you can be face to face with anything.
