It has been an interesting week after people have heard the sermon topic for this week. There have been some questions and someone last week asked if there were going to be any pictures.

One of our goals at Riverside is to be real and authentic with each other and that also means that we want to be real and authentic with the Bible. This morning we begin a summer sermon series on a passage in Galatians 5 that lists 12 “acts of the sinful nature.”

Sunday, May 30, Sermon Rated PG-13

This upcoming Sunday, May 30, Riverside will begin a sermon series on the "acts of the sinful nature" in Galatians 5.  The first sermon in this series will be on sexual immorality ("repetitive, loveless, cheap sex" in the Message translation).  Pastor Dan intends to speak frankly about sex and would like you to consider whether or not the sermon is appropriate for your children if they are normally in the worship service rather than in Children's Church.  The Riverside Sermon Rating Board (Pastor Dan) has rated the sermon PG-13.  If you have any questions or would like help in your discernmnet process, please do not hesitate to contact Pastor Dan. 

Riverside Church Picnic 2010

Plan to join the Riverside Family for a picnic at Happy Hollow Park just off Happy Hollow Rd. in West Lafayette on Sunday, June 27, right after the service.  Meat and drinks will be provided.  Sign up to bring a vegetable, salad or dessert by contacting office@rcovenant.org.

From Perfection to Perfection - Revelation 21:1-8

This is our final Sunday in the E100 and next week we will be beginning a new sermon series from the book of Galatians. You are probably familiar with the “fruit of the spirit” in Galatians 5. There is a whole list of wonderful characteristics that the Holy Spirit enables Jesus followers to have. But that is not what our sermon series is going to be on. Immediately before all those good things there is a list of 12 things that Paul calls, “the acts of the sinful nature.” This is what our next sermon series is going to be on. Those particular sins that are difficult for us to overcome.

And I want to give you a heads up because the first sin on this list is “sexual immorality.” Next week we are going to be talking about sexual immorality and some parts of the sermon might not be appropriate for your kids depending on their age. I am going to call the sermon PG-13. We are going to talk about sex frankly, so if you think that might not be appropriate for your kids and they are usually in the service with you . . . then please plan to have them downstairs for Children's Church. If you are unsure or have other questions, please feel free to talk to me.

The New Jerusalem - Revelation 21:1-22:21

Scripture text for Friday, May 21st, 2010: Revelation 21:1-22:21

Full Text Online | Listen Online

Revelation 22:7 says, “Behold, I am coming soon!” The “I” in the verse is Jesus, but when is “soon.” When Dana tells me that she is going to be home “soon”, I anticipate that she will be home in minutes. I certainly do not expect her to take 2,000 years to come back home.

We don't know when Jesus will come back (Matthew 24:36), but we are told “soon.” And now 2,000 years later we are still waiting.
