Riverside with Luke StradleyEp. 32 | When a Mob Storms the Church: It’s Time to Speak Up.Support Riverside Here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RiversideStorefrontA Sunday morning church service in St. Paul, Minnesota was disrupted when anti-ICE protesters stormed into Cities Church mid-worship, chanting phrases like “ICE out” and “white supremacists," "Nazi racists," and "white pigs." The moment was tense, loud, and intentional—right in the middle of a gathered congregation.In this video, I break down the silent church, the incident in Minnesota, and how I believe the Church should react in times like these.

Okolona Church of ChristThankfulness to HolinessIn this deeply reflective sermon, Luke Stradley examines Romans 1 to reveal the tragic consequences of a world that refuses to acknowledge God. Through examples of real-world evil and the struggles of modern culture, Luke shows how every form of unrighteousness begins with one root issue: Ingratitude.
He boldly addresses not only the evil in the world but the subtle ways the church itself mirrors the world when we forget what God has done. Yet this message is ultimately filled with hope — pointing us back to Jesus, the fulfillment of God’s ancient promise, and calling us to slow...

Through Exodus 16, we learn that God's provision often comes with a call to trust and obedience. Whether you're in a season of abundance or scarcity, this message will encourage you to rely on God's daily provision and deepen your faith.

While God’s creation reveals His glory (Romans 1:20), the Bible makes it clear that the church is something far deeper. In this video, we’ll explore the difference between enjoying God in nature and belonging to the body of Christ.You’ll learn:• Why the river can inspire worship—but cannot replace the church• What Scripture teaches about gathering with God’s people• How both creation and community point us closer to JesusIf you’ve ever felt closer to God outside than inside a church building, this video will help you...

In Romans 12:1–2, Paul urges us to offer our whole selves as “living sacrifices,” not just weekend devotion. Faith isn’t meant to be something we keep in a Sunday box. Jesus wants every part of our lives—our work, our family, our habits, our time.When we stop conforming to the world and let God transform us, life changes. Faith isn’t a pastime—it’s the foundation of who we are.👉 Takeaway Challenge: Write down 3 areas of life where you’ve kept Jesus “separate.” Invite Him in and let Him transform them.If y...

In this video, we dive into John 21:1–14, where the disciples fish all night and catch nothing... until Jesus shows up on the shore.Just like those empty nets, our own efforts can leave us frustrated and worn out. But the good news? Jesus meets us in failure with grace, provision, and hope.If you’ve been feeling stuck, burned out, or like your life is producing “empty nets,” this message is for you.Scripture: John 21:1–14Core truth: Your worth isn’t in your results—it’s i...

Looking at Timothy’s life, we see the impact of a faithful mother and grandmother, the mentorship of Paul, and Timothy’s own willingness to listen and follow. Parents are called to disciple their children at home, the church is called to step in as spiritual family, and students are challenged to humbly listen to those ahead of them. Together, we can pass on a faith that outlives us.

Athlon Sports' Luke Easterling is joined by Stephanie Stradley of the Houston Chronicle to talk about C.J.

From a persecutor of the church to one of its greatest apostles, Saul’s story reminds us that no one is too far gone for God’s grace. Luke challenges us to consider what we’re holding onto—and whether we’ve truly counted the cost of following Jesus. What are you willing to give up to follow Christ?

That's exactly what I talk about in this video. My prayer is that you begin to focus on the small moments of life, learning to be content and find joy in moments that aren't necessarily the most exciting.

One of those connections, for me, is an employee at my fly shop - Cliffe.
Cliffe takes the time out of his day to genuinely help and mentor me through fly fishing, and he's proven to be such a valuable contact to have.
Similarly, Paul discipled and mentored Timothy in a unique way that I think we should all take note of and apply to our own lives.

Tonight - on Christmas night, after everything has settled, the kids are in bed, and the wrapping paper is all cleaned up - take some time to value your time and cherish the memories you made today.

Is it really Santa, the music, and dreams of gifts under a tree? Or is it deeper than that? Perhaps, it comes from nowhere else but the love that a parent has for their children.
If that's the case, then should we begin to rethink how we approach Christmas with our children?

This isn't a problem that everyone deals with, but it is a problem that some people deal with. When we get in order to get, we end up using and manipulating the people we're giving to, and the giving that we do becomes me-centered instead of other-centered or Christ-centered.
Just something to think about! Tight lines!

2024-12-1410 minRiverside with Luke StradleyGift or Giver? | 12 Days of Christmas (Day TWO)Which is better - the gift or the giver?
Today, I talked about gift giving, and how God isn't concerned with the gifts we bring, but is instead concerned about us. Likewise, we should do the same with Him.
When we're focused on the gifts we bring, and neglect the God who brings them, we're making an idol out of His gifts and worshipping the gift over the giver. Tight lines.

In this sermon, I go over Luke 12:8-12, where Jesus covers three topics that all have the same thread holding them all together - truthfulness. He first talks about acknowledging Christ, then speaks on blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and finally The Holy Spirit's defense for God's people in times of trial and persecution.
I've been enjoying writing these sermons lately because I don't often get to preach, but do enjoy it - this will help my sermon writing process and delivery skills.

The Gospel Coalition released an article the day before Thanksgiving titled, "I Love My Transgender Child. I Love Jesus More."
This article caused a lot of commotion and discussion online - to say the least. One side of the discussion believes that not affirming your child's gender confusion is unloving and against the Bible's call to love each other. The other side of the discussion believes that affirming your child's gender confusion is to approve of and applaud sin.
