ACTS of Prayer

If you are like most people, you don’t want to be seen as a bothersome pest, whether at work, home, or in your relationship with God. And yet, Jesus invites His followers to persist in prayer, almost to the point of seeming like a spiritual pest to God.

In this last message in the ACTS of Prayer sermon series, Pastor Erin Bird helps us see why persistent prayer isn’t bothersome to God, but rather honoring and glorifying. So listen in to learn the importance and power of proper supplication.

It’s that time of year – Thanksgiving! In this devotional message, Luke Anderson (one of Riverwood’s Elders)† teaches through Psalm 100 on why we should give thanks, to whom we give thanks, and how we might express our thanksgiving. 

Have you ever had a problem in life that, in the moment, seemed overwhelming, but years later, as you look back at that moment, you realize it wasn’t that huge of a deal?

That’s perspective.

In this second message in the ACTS of Prayer series, Pastor Erin Bird helps us see how the letter A (Adoration) in the ACTS model of prayer gives us perspective. And that perspective leads us to the letter C – Confession. And Confession leads us to connecting deeper with our Creator.

For many people, prayer is awkward, hard, confusing, or boring. Recognizing this, Pastor Erin Bird is using the month of November to teach the Riverwood family about the ACTS model of Prayer in an effort to help us connect with God. And in this first message, he takes us to Psalm 34 to tackle the topic of Adoration.
