Maybe it's because we are already bold. But more likely, we don't pray for boldness because we like our lives safe and comfortable.
But if Riverwood is going to be a church after God's heart, we need to take a page out of the early church's book and pray for boldness.

Well, we can't tell you why other churches talk about money so much. But at Riverwood, we don't talk about it as much as we probably should, but when we do, we look at not what we can get FROM you as much as what God wants FOR you. And we believe God wants you to be generous like Him.

However, if you are a follower of Jesus, God has a different plan for your money and time than just to use it all on a cultural holiday.

Ed Pavelec, one of Riverwood's elders, walks us through Philippians 3:12-4:1, showing us the encouragement the Apostle Paul gave his original readers so they might find joy in the journey.2019-06-2335 minRiverwood Church - Waverly, IA: SermonsThe Joy of Sending (Genuine Joy #7)Many Americans think "bigger is better," including when it comes to church. "If you have a bigger attendance, you must be a more successful church." The book of Philippians shows us you can find joy in sending others to teach the Gospel, not just keeping people in your church.

And in this first week of the series, Riverwood's Teaching Pastor, Erin Bird, tackles the topic of marriage.2019-02-0543 minRiverwood Church - Waverly, IA: SermonsSharing the Gospel with Joy and ConfidenceMost people naturally share that which pleases them.

(Elders #1)There are SO many types of church governance out there in Christendom: deacons, councils, boards, dictatorships, church staffs, and more. So why is Riverwood choosing to move to an elder form of leadership?
In this first message in a three part series, Pastor Erin Bird explains why he believes Riverwood will benefit from installing elders to help continue the mission of inviting the spiritually disconnected to find and follow Jesus.2018-08-0543 minRiverwood Church - Waverly, IA: SermonsScripture (Disciplined #1)For the summer of 2018, Riverwood Church is taking a look at the topic of spiritual disciplines. Over 9 weeks, the Riverwood family will look at nine different disciplines Jesus-followers can engage in.
However, there is a danger to this topic. In this opening message in the Disciplined series, Pastor Erin Bird helps us learn what the inherent danger is with spiritual disciplines, how to avoid this danger, and the reason Scriptural intake is a foundational discipline for those who want to grow spiritually and follow Jesus.2018-06-0539 minRiverwood Church - Waverly, IA: SermonsMotivated by Jesus (Following Jesus #3)Most people in life spend their time trying to be happy. They selfishly focus on whatever they believe will make life easier, more pleasurable, or more memorable.
But then there a few people who seem to devote the majority of their time to helping others. They are incredibly Unselfish. How do they do it?

Whether it be through classes, practices, or upholding certain traditions, they believe they have to jump through certain hoops in order to be "saved" or to please God.
But as Erin Bird, teaching pastor for Riverwood, shows us from the book of Colossians, what we need isn't to add classes or religious practices in order to make God happy - rather, we just need to continue with Jesus.
