AFTERWORDS: A Riverview Church Podcast
A Pittance Compared to Glory
Jason and Noel talk about Acts 4, beginning with a running pineapple-pizza joke that frames a larger point about unity and “buckets of belief” (orthodoxy vs. preferences) and why many church fights are trivial. The episode contrasts American discomfort with real persecution abroad and argues that bold witness grows from re-scaling our “pittance” of suffering against the “weight of glory.” Practical boldness starts small: tell someone the name of your “One More,” invite them, and let that accountability fuel your courage. They also spotlight Riverview’s local strategic partners, and Noel's "one thing that didn't make the message" takes an unexpected turn.

Numbers 22:36-24 | Cross Coverage | Daniel Fox
Pastor Daniel's sermon, "Numbers 22:36-24 | Cross Coverage," from Riverview Christian Fellowship explains how God's people are covered by the cross, protecting them from curses and the power of sin.

Pastor Daniel emphasizes that the cross delivers believers from the eternal punishment and present power of sin, enabling them to live a holy life, as the enemy's power is limited to persuasion. The sermon visually connects the encampment of the Israelite...

In a sermon titled "Total Victory" from Riverview Christian Fellowship, Daniel Fox draws from Numbers 21 to illustrate God's promise of victory. The sermon highlights how God granted the Israelites victory over their enemies, but their impatience and complaints led to punishment in the form of "fiery serpents." As a remedy, God commanded Moses to create a bronze serpent on a pole, a foreshadowing of Jesus being lifted on the cross for salvation. Daniel emphasizes the danger of idolatry, noting the bronze serpent itself later became an idol. The sermon recounts further victories over powerful kings, reinforcing the message that...
