Riverside Church

Has God ever blessed you?  Did you keep quite about it?  Was there an overwhelming need to yell it from the roof tops that God is faithful to his word?  Well you know how Hannah must have felt!  In this study of scripture we see how Hannah holds nothing back, yes she loves the gift that God gave her, but she doesn't love the gift more than the giver!  Grab your bible and lets study together! www.RiverSideFWB.com

In Hebrews we learn that Jesus is everlasting, never changing, always the same.  However we are not.  In this episode of At The River we hear how people compromise on Jesus and worship based on the current situation around them.  Sometimes it's not convenient to worship, covid, worry, weather, anxiety or even government can make us put our worship on the back burner.  However Jesus isn't changing.  This should empower you and cause you to walk boldly in your Christian walk!  Grab your bible and study with us!! www.RiverSideFWB.com

The story of Samuel begins not with Samuel, but with Hannah.  Hannah after facing trouble, learns humility.  Learns to pray, as the story begins and  many can vouch for this, in the valley we learn that God is sweet.  Valley experiences teach us something that mountain top victories could never teach us.  Hannah wept before God.  Even in a time when the system of worship was corrupted by insincere priests, God's people serve still in a spirit of truth!  Grab your bible and learn how God heard Hannah's prayer!! www.RiverSideFWB.com

Recorded at The River in Princeton NC.  In this episode we look at Hebrews 7:25 that tells us our High Priest is alive, and live to pray over us!  Not only that He saves outright and absolutely!  There is no gray area in his saving, he completely saves.  Grab your bible, you don't want to miss this section of Bible study in our series of Hebrews!

In this episode we finish up the series of Ruth.  Boaz sets in his heart to make things right for Ruth and her mother-inlaw.  Duet 27:5-9 teaches how the land is tied to each family.  Stepping up to the plate is Boaz who will redeem the family of Ruth.  Grab your bible and lets study together!

In this episode of At The River we study Melchizedek, a person mentioned in Genesis 14, whom Father Abraham met after a great war.  This Melchizedek was described as a person with no father nor mother.  Neither is a death date recorded.  This is a pre-christology.  An appearance of Jesus who physically walked the Earth before the date of His birth.  Grab your bible as we study this anomaly found in the book of God's word!

In our study of Ruth, we come to chapter 2.  Naomi has now returned to her home land out of Midian.  Ruth, being a faithful friend allows Naomi to rest and enjoy her elder state-hood.  Ruth sets her hands to work and support her mother-in law.  She finds herself by the mighty hand of God in the field of Boaz.  Boaz being a kinsman redeemer, meaning the one who would save and cover her family.. we examine the redeeming work of God in this chapter! Join us one Sunday at 10:00 am or Wednesday at 7:00 pm RiverSide Church 3045 Richardson Bridge Rd Princeton NC

There are two things that Christians can count on.  That God doesn't change, and God doesn't lie.  In this section of scripture the Holy Spirit points out to us that we can run and find refuge in this fortress of hope.  Abraham waited patiently on the Lord and his faith paid off.  Are you waiting on the Lord?  Will it put you to shame in the end of it all?  Grab your bible and lets study together at The River!!

Have you ever had a friend who loved you even though you had become bitter towards God?  Last study we saw in book of Judges that Israel needed a king.  However after a deeper study we can plainly see that Israel needs a redeemer.  Thank God for the redeemer.  Grab your bible, and lets study together!

Did you have a plan?  Did things go sideways pretty quick?  You had the whole thing planned out, your dream board was made, the budget was in place.  The right people was in the right place, and then the bottom fell out.  You retired, got sick.  You got divorced.  Betrayed.  Broken and beaten.  Excuse the interruption.  Join us At The River as guest speaker Marvin Alexander from MPI brings a word of encouragement for the broken road, broken hearted, and broken people!

In these final books of Judges, we can see the apostate Israel now turning on one another.  When we take our eyes off of God and make for ourselves our own gods we destroy ourselves and everyone around us.  The tribe of Benjamin doing despicable acts and has the rest of it's own clan defend this sin.  Charles Spurgeon has been known to quote, "A sin that is defended is a double sin."  This wicked act causes a civil war in Israel.  Grab your bible and lets study together At The River!

Sunday service, At The River as we study Hebrews 5 thru 6.  We see how the author mentioned Melchizekek, washings and even repentance of sins.  Some of these he said are elementary to the gospels, but said he wants to move on to more sayings but the hearer's minds are too dull.  Explaining that we should be teachers by now!  He doesn't leave us there but builds us up to understand these hard sayings.  Are you dull?  Grab your bible and lets sharpen our minds and hearts on the anvil and hammer of God's word!

In this episode of At The River, we study in Judges there was no king in Israel!  We finish the study of the actual Judges, now we see how the corruption of the house-holds in Israel.  The pulpits become corrupt first, then the house-holds, families, then clans, then the nation.  Grab your bible and lets study together!

This midweeks service, At The River, we study Judges 16.  Samson the champion of Israel now shows all his flaws.  Even though he was formable on the battle field in private he was conquered and ruined!  All because of his passions and sins, he gave his years to the merciless.  Grab your bible and lets study Judges 16!

The year is 2021, Easter Sunday.  Lets study together, grab your Bible and examine this extraordinary story of redemption.  Jesus died for sinners! www.RiverSideFWB.com

Recorded live at RiverSide Church, in Princeton NC.  Judges 15 teaches of Samson and the theology of revenge!  In a culture where we glamorize revenge, we see in this chapter that revenge teaches us an eye for an eye, but when that happens everyone is blinded by revenge!  Samson is a mighty man of God, but his own flaws show us that even the best humanity has to offer isn't good enough to save ourselves nor anyone else!  Grab your bible and lets study together!

In this episode of At The River we study in Hebrews 5:1-10 about our Great High Priest Jesus Christ!  The melody of redemption continues in this chapters as it sings of our savior and just how he's qualified to be our savior!  In this episode we look back at Exodus 29:22 and see how the first high priest Aaron was anointed as a mediator between Israel and God.  Then we compare it to Jesus who stands as our High Priest.  How we is the perfect High Priest for us as fallen men!  Grab your Bible and Study with us!!!

Join us At The River as we study Judges!  Verse by verse, chapter by chapter!  In this episode we study the parents of Samson, in chapter 14.  We also get close enough to Samson to see his flaws.  Without a doubt he is one of humanity's strongest example of a "man".  However we can clearly see his flaws.  His selfishness and his strong self will!  Grab your bible and we see in the opening verses of 14, that God was behind it all!  Even when we make our mistakes, or try to carve our own paths, God is still Sovereign over it all!  That should encourage you, no matter where you find yourself in this life!  Lets study together!
