Built To Last | Pastor Robert Rivera by Riverside Church

Podcast Description – Mason Tucker | Ephesians 2 | RiverSide ChurchIn this powerful, verse-by-verse message from Ephesians 2, Mason Tucker walks us through one of the clearest pictures in all of Scripture of what it means to be saved by grace and built on a firm foundation in Jesus Christ. Preached at RiverSide Church, this sermon reminds us that we were once dead in our trespasses and sins, following the course of this world—but God, being rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ.You'll be encouraged as we see that salvation is by grace alone, through faith, not by works, so that no one may boast. We are reminded that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared beforehand. The message also unpacks how Christ has broken down the wall of hostility, making Jew and Gentile one new people, and how believers are now members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.This is a rich, gospel-centered teaching that calls the listener to rest in Christ's finished work and to stand firm on the only sure foundation—Jesus Christ alone. Perfect for anyone seeking to grow deeper in their understanding of grace, salvation, unity in Christ, and the unshakable foundation of the gospel.

Preached at RiverSide Church, Princeton, NCWhat if the very thing you're ignoring could be the difference between life and death? In this powerful sermon from Proverbs 1:20-33, we encounter Lady Wisdom standing at the crossroads of culture—in the streets, the marketplace, the gates of our cities—crying out with an urgent message that demands our attention.This isn't a gentle whisper or polite suggestion. Wisdom is screaming in the most unlady-like fashion, refusing to be relegated to the sidelines of our lives. Too many people treat Jesus like a garnish on their plate, a bumper sticker on their dumpster fire, or a bandaid on a gaping wound. But nobody cries out, "Give me parsley or else I die!"WISDOM IS DEMANDING - She doesn't ask for your leftover attention; she demands to be heard above everything else. Standing where people actually are—not in seclusion but in the noisy streets of business, government, education, and the arts—Wisdom refuses to be ignored.WISDOM IS DANGEROUS - But dangerous in two ways. Like fire that refines gold, burning away everything impure while leaving what's precious untouched. Our God is a consuming fire, and His Word is like a hammer that breaks rock in pieces. Yet our own folly is dangerous like poison—the deceitful heart, the careless words, the complacent attitude that destroys from within.WISDOM IS OUR ONLY DELIVERANCE - For the simple ones (the uncommitted), the scoffers (the arrogant mockers), and the fools (the stubborn and excuse-filled)—there's a haunting question: "How long?" How many sermons? How many years? How much must you lose before you turn? But here's the hope: there's a triple grip on God's people—sealed by the Spirit, gripped by the Son, held by the Father. No one can snatch you away.This message confronts our tendency toward spiritual complacency with the sobering reality that one day, when calamity strikes, those who refused Wisdom will call out—but it will be too late. Yet for those who listen now, who turn at her reproof, there is safety, security, and rest.The choice is stark: Will you say to God, "Thy will be done," or will God say to you, "Thy will be done"?Listen as we explore what it means to stop treating Jesus as an accessory and start embracing Him as the Holy fire who refines, the living Word who transforms, and the only true safety in a world rushing toward disaster.Based on Proverbs 1:20-33 | RiverSide Church, Princeton, NC

Focused In the Face of Distractions | Pastor Robert Rivera by Riverside Church

TEACHING SERIES: Fridge Magnet Christianity TITLE: Romans BY: Ben Pearson DATE: Sunday 26 October 2025 Bible Passage: Romans 8:28 “In all things God works for the good…” This verse has encouraged countless believers, but it's often misunderstood. Does it mean everything in life is automatically good? Or is Paul pointing to a deeper assurance of God's ultimate purposes at work?

The Cost of Building | Pastor Stephen Green by Riverside Church

Ve Spojených státech najdeme spoustu staveb, které na první pohled vypadají jako evropské gotické katedrály. Jak je to ale možné, když Amerika středověk v evropské podobě nikdy nezažila? Kdo byli hlavní aktéři, kteří středověk za velkou louži „dováželi“ a co je k tomu vedlo? A proč je Albert Einstein zobrazený na portálu kostela Riverside Church v New Yorku? O tom všem si v 65. díle podcastu Středověk (jinak) trvá bude historik umění Ivan Foletti a archeolog Jiří Macháček povídat s historičkou umění Janou Černockou, která se ve své diplomové práci věnovala právě tématu neo-středověké architektury ve Spojených státech a ideologickým motivacím, které za jejím využíváním stojí.Vyrobilo RE:CENT Centrum pro studium a popularizaci středověké vizuální kultury při Semináři dějin umění Masarykovy univerzity.S finanční podporou Aukčního domu Zezula,Scénář: Ivan Foletti a Jiří MacháčekZvukový záznam: Katarína KravčíkováZvuková postprodukce: Jakub KrausZnělka: Jakub Kraus Hosted on Acast.

Our Authority To Build | Pastor Caleb Rivera by Riverside Church

TEACHING SERIES: Fridge Magnet Christianity TITLE: Luke BY: Judy Moore DATE: Sunday 19 October 2025 Bible Passage: Luke 14:25-27 “Anyone who does not hate father and mother… cannot be my disciple.” Did Jesus really mean we should hate our families and even ourselves? Together we'll wrestle with these shocking words and discover what wholehearted discipleship truly looks like.

Overcoming the Inner-me | Pastor Josh Field by Riverside Church

Your Faith Has Saved You: The Power of Encountering Jesus Today's Homily reflects on the Gospel of the ten lepers and the Samaritan . . . . . . who returned to thank Jesus. Building on last week's theme, “Lord, increase our faith,” it emphasizes that true faith is not about quantity but about a living, personal relationship with Christ. Blessings and Answered Prayers are not Ends in Themselves The lepers shared suffering represents our shared human weakness and need for God's mercy. Only one, the Samaritan, moves beyond gratitude to a deeper encounter with Jesus . . . he no longer stands at a distance but falls at His feet. The message is that blessings and answered prayers are not ends in themselves; they are meant to lead us to a real encounter with Christ and transformation in Him. True salvation comes not merely from receiving God's gifts but from drawing near to Him in faith, gratitude, and love. We are called to let our faith move us to mercy, forgiveness, and love for one another, allowing Christ to shape our lives.

From Breakdown To Breakthrough | Pastor Caleb Slavik by Riverside Church

“There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of divine sovereignty.” - Charles Haddon Spurgeon In chapters 36 & 37 Elihu continues to correct Job! Job had grown self rightoutous, arrogant and prideful all while suffering, now Elihu will take him through a master class of who God is! Elihu teaches Job that God's Sovereignty has sympathy His majesty has mercy! Job had accused God of being cold and indifferent and even an enemy of Job. However those false claims were bred in a place of deep suffering! How wonderful of a friend is Elihu to help him weed out these bitter roots to help bring Job to a place of humility and worship even in suffering!

The Recipe for Revival | Pastor Caleb Rivera by Riverside Church

In Job 33, Elihu—the youngest of Job's companions—steps forward with a message that is both bold and compassionate. Unlike the others, Elihu corrects Job with humility, reminding him of God's greatness and pointing him back to the truth. In many ways, Elihu foreshadows Christ as he speaks of a mediator who can stand between God and man.This sermon explores how Elihu becomes a true friend to Job, offering correction with kindness, and how his words echo God's purpose for suffering in the believer's life. Through this narrative, we are reminded that even in the darkest valleys, God is shaping us, refining us, and drawing us closer to Him.Dig deep with us into the story of Job and discover how God uses suffering not as punishment, but as preparation—for faith, growth, and hope in His plan.To learn more about RiverSide Church follow our link!https://linktr.ee/attheriver

Synopsis:  Is Authoritarianism Here?: Gessen and Stanley discuss the shift in America's self-understanding, from democratic ideals to a self-identity based on loving the US for its past greatness, and warn that this is not a democratic project, but rather a fascist one, similar to what Putin is doing in Russia.Stay informed and engaged! Please hit the podcast subscribe button if you've yet to subscribe.Description: What will it take to reject fascism, before it's too late? Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“Trump has proposed a revived empire, a return to an imaginary past. The Democrats have proposed the way things are now, which are deeply unsatisfying and horribly anxiety provoking for a very large number of people. So we need a vision of a future that is more appealing than the imaginary past.” - Masha Gessen“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project.

In this episode, Pastor Kevin from RiverSide Church dives into Job 32 and the sudden entrance of Elihu, the young man who steps forward with courage and conviction.

Join us as we uncover what his words meant in Job's day and what they reveal for us now—that God can use anyone, regardless of age, to speak truth and point us back to Him
