Standalone

Good morning. It is genuinely good to be with you all today. It is difficult being here as an extrovert, because I want to […]

1 Peter 5:6-11 instructs us as believers to be humble, to be watchful, and to stand firm in resisting the devil. Listen now to guest speaker Jonathan Davis.

We’ve just celebrated Easter, but how do we respond to God’s saving work through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ? When we read the story of the early Christians, they got baptized… so what is baptism and why do we do it?

Worship Gathering Director Jake Epley teaches from Acts 2 on the biblical practice of baptism and publicly declaring faith in Jesus.

Many people globally are living with fear due to the coronavirus, while many Americans are living with anxiety over the upcoming Presidential election. And this doesn’t include the hard things happening in many people’s lives personally that are causing stress, worry, and more.

Thankfully, God’s Word speaks into our fear and anxiety, helping to bring peace. Listen in as one of Riverwood’s elders, Ed Pavelec, takes us to several passages in Scripture to bring encouragement during our troubled times.

These are complicated times. We live in a difficult, confusing, and often frustrating age, and more now than ever does the world desperately need households led by godly dads.

Guest teacher and Minneapolis church planter Patrick Ray shares a Father’s Day message from , as well as insight on #BlackLivesMatter, police reform, community well-being, and how we as Jesus-followers ought to respond in light of what the Bible teaches.

Riverwood joined Grace Baptist and Denver Baptist Churches for a combined outdoor baptism worship service and potluck. Jonathan Davis, lead pastor for Grace Baptist, taught us from Acts 10:34-43, showing us how the life of Jesus WAS the gospel, and how, through baptism, we declare the life and gospel of Jesus.

This Easter, Riverwood Church celebrates its 5th birthday! Pastor Erin Bird talks about the history of Riverwood and the importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

Most people naturally share that which pleases them. We typically don’t hesitate to share about a movie we enjoyed, or a great new restaurant we visited.

Guest teacher and Riverwood “missionary” Patrick Ray, a church planter from North Minneapolis, shows us from John 1 that when people met Jesus, they got excited and couldn’t help but tell others. If you are a Jesus-follower, may this message inspire you to find joy in Jesus, so you, too, can share Him with confidence.

Have you ever had a chance to meet someone famous? If so, perhaps you were at a loss for words, or perhaps said something silly, or embarrassed yourself by acting differently than you normally do.

But what would it be like to meet Jesus?

Listen in as guest teacher, Shane Klein, walks us through Hebrews 4:14-16, seeing Jesus as our Great High Priest.

As part of our Celebration Sunday, guest teacher Bob Westfall taught from Colossians 1:24-29, reminding Riverwood’s new elders (and all of us) that “Being precedes Doing.” Listen in to this fantastic message that will encourage you to just “be with Jesus.”

Many people in our American society are familiar with the Easter story, even those who don’t go to church. But do these miraculous events from over two-thousand years ago mean anything for people living in 2018?

In this Easter message entitled Glorious Day, Pastor Erin Bird shows how the physical resurrection of Jesus points to a spiritual resurrection that God wants to do within you, changing you at your core.

Evangelism. It’s a scary word for a lot of people. Most Jesus-followers don’t engage in it, and those that do often do it from impure motives. Teaching from 2 Corinthians 5:9-21, guest teacher Steve Erickson walks Jesus-followers through four reasons why they should share the gospel with others, and how to do it with the right heart.
