We hear, "Your truth...," or, "My truth," a lot in our culture but what is THE Truth? What can we hold to anytime and anywhere?

Once we accept and understand the gift of God's grace, we will have gratitude and compassion leading us into action.

God is just, but He bestows on us the gift of grace. Daily, though, we sin. If God is merciful, then why strive for holiness? See how grace transforms us!

God is just, but He bestows on us the gift of grace. Daily, though, we sin. How do we balance the two?

To understand the relevance of the Christmas season is to understand why God sent His Son to earth. Not for stories, songs, traditions and presents. Jesus was sent as a baby for what He would become a sacrificial gift to US.

Christmas is more than the festive traditions your family enjoys. Have you ever wondered, "What is the purpose of Christmas?" Why does it matter in this day and age, and how does it affect you personally?

God's mercy impacts every aspect of our lives and every single one of our relationships. He extends mercy to us and we need to extend it to others and that includes forgiveness.

Do you ever feel you're beyond forgiveness? Some days it's easy to feel that way. Every one of us sins, but God has made a way for us, Jesus. God WANTS to forgive us! We can welcome God's mercy into our lives and be totally forgiven.

Sometimes it can feel hard to pray. It is often something we do once our other options have fallen through. Jesus is God, but yet He prayed all throughout His daily life. He is our example and also, in His mercy, He intercedes for us!

We all mess up. It's a given. Sometimes, people have mercy on us in our mistakes. We love it when it benefits us... But when it benefits others, where's the justice?!

How does the Christian faith compare to Hinduism, Pantheism & Islam? Do all religious roads lead to heaven? How can Jesus claim to be God? This informative message concludes our series on, "Is God Real?" Don't miss it!

Part 2 of this message continues answering the question, "If God is real and good, why is there suffering?" We are in a broken world with eternity to look forward to. God is with us here and will hold us in every trial. If you missed it...

The Bible is more than just stories, it is HIStory! This message shows how the Bible is constantly reinforced with science and historical and archaeological evidence.

The Bible has many authors, yet is God-breathed. It's the most published book in the world! Though some question it, historians put it through academic rigors to show it authenticity. God's Word is living and active 2 millenia later.

Faith and facts. You can have one without the other, but when they support each other, things become certain. We will look at the creation of the universe and how the science of it clearly points to God, the Creator!

Have you wondered if truth even exists, or for that matter, if God exists? This message shares evidence for Who Jesus says He is and why He wants us to know Him.

Would you consider yourself to be a generous person? The more we understand and live out the mission of Jesus, the easier it becomes to be a generous giver, even a joyful one!

Have you wondered what does the New Testament actually teach about baptism? Pastor Tom Lundeen very clearly teaches us the when, the how and the why of baptism in scripture and at Riverside. Baptism isn't just an optional extra for Jesus...
