Riverbank Church

Focus takes discipline and spiritual focus is multiplied by fasting! Jesus practiced fasting and as His followers, so should we. Recharge, power up, and hear God more clearly by engaging in the dangerous discipline of fasting!

Followers of Jesus are called to dangerously give of their time, talent, & treasure. Jesus' example calls us to give extravagantly, cheerfully, and willingly. Radical living calls for sacrificial giving!

Being a dangerous follower of Jesus means to be able to advance God's Kingdom against the powers of darkness. Want to be a high impact believer? Be devoted to meditating on scripture, prayer, being thankful and Spirit filled.

Living life as a single person can be a special gift from God! And being single doesn't mean doing life alone! Learn from Nicki, Ashley, & Ben life's joys, challenges, and blessings while being single.

Keeping kids on a godly path as they grow is hard work! Using scripture and life experience, Audrey & Frank share ways to encourage our children to follow God for their whole lives.

Family dynamics are important and each family is unique. Meet Pastor Chris's family and see how they relate, work through struggles, and honor each other and Jesus each day.

No one likes selfish people. Paying it forward, thinking of others first - Who's the best example? Jesus! Jesus, in the face of incredible challenges and death, put others first and sacrificed for us all. Will we follow His example of serving others with our lives?

Fact: consume nutritious food, have healthy habits and live a healthier life. The same is true with our minds & souls - what we take in determines who we are and how we act…so let's get the garbage out of our lives and replace with God's goodness!

Soul. Did you know your body, mind, and will are all parts of your soul? Jesus said nothing is more valuable than your soul! Self care of your soul is needed and necessary to guide your life.

Getting in shape takes training and daily discipline - living a life of faith in Jesus takes the same kind of dedication. Daily workouts in God's Word, prayer, and connecting with other believers help us make progress every day! Take the first step today to reset and refocus!

2020 was hard- many are hurting and hiding - it's time to REFOCUS! God will use the difficulties in life to challenge and change us. And God sees a hero in you! Are you ready to refocus in 2021?

All of us love a good story because stories are powerful! And our stories of faith and following Jesus are the best way to share the light of Christ! If sharing is caring, we must care for others by sharing our stories - let's start sharing and shining the light of Jesus today!

Spreading the Good News of Jesus is like planting a garden…followers of Christ “plant” by sharing Jesus: telling others and by living godly lives. Some will respond in faith and others may reject the Good News, but believers in Jesus keep sowing seeds! We sow, God grows!

Winter is a dark time of the year and the whole world seems darker this year - what is needed is MORE LIGHT! Light helps all see better and clearer, light guides our way, and light sometimes warns of danger…we need to shine our light: Jesus!

COVID, quarantines, social distancing…it seems like everything has broken down! But God is at work! He wants us to engage with Jesus and breakthrough the problems of life and break out into something new: life with Jesus!

Green skin, elongated fingers, antennae, and one eye?! Aliens are just weird! As followers of Jesus, Christians are viewed as weird as well! Why? They sing at gatherings, they pray and read the Bible often, show their faith to the world by being dunked in a tank of water! What?! This weird behavior is because followers of Jesus are aliens on earth!

The idea of being abducted by aliens is crazy but the idea of being transformed by Jesus is real & amazing! Jesus transforms our lives and makes them brand new and then promises that He will transform and transport us out of this world!

Extraterrestrials, aliens, visitors from beyond…we are fascinated with otherworldly beings! But did you know that as followers of Christ we are aliens here on earth? We live and act differently and look different because have been transformed by Jesus and this world is not our home!

Compulsive behavior, unstoppable desires, and addictions trouble many for years and sometimes, for a lifetime. Yet, these strongholds in our lives can be tamed, eliminated, and taken captive by the truth of Jesus. Chains can be broken and our lives set free by God's power and His unchangeable Word. Break free today!

The campaign signs are everywhere! Every candidate wants your vote, endorsement, and your contribution. Politics divide our country, our communities, and sometimes our homes. How should followers of Jesus react and live in this most political of seasons? Press on and be grounded in your heavenly citizenship!

When we see life through the lens of a Creator, it becomes a game-changer not just by how we treat others, but how we value life. No matter who the person is at whatever stage in life or background all life should be valued and protected.

Social Justice is a matter of the church rolling up its sleeves and becoming the hands and feet of Jesus. As Christians, we have a responsibility to repair those social factors that can keep entire segments of our population stuck in hopelessness and despair. There's no better person to learn how than from Jesus himself!

In order to navigate through some of the hottest topics in a responsible way we should clearly understand that truth is not relative but it is absolute - there are rights, wrongs, and absolute truths whether we agree or not. As Christians, our truth is founded in Jesus and His Word! The truth can set you free!

When we want to get to know someone, we usually set up a date for coffee or lunch…talking and sharing then takes place naturally. The same applies for deepening our relationships - and the best way to do this is at a Table Group! Pull up a chair and share a meal & life with others! Move from being a part of the crowd to a committed community!
