RiverSide Church - (At The River) - Princeton NC

In this deeply reflective episode, we turn to one of the rawest and most human moments in Scripture—Job 3. Through careful exegesis, Pastor Kevin walks us verse by verse through Job’s anguished lament as he breaks his silence and curses the day of his birth.

Why does Job—described as a righteous man—give voice to such despair? What can we learn about the nature of suffering, human vulnerability, and faith in the darkest seasons of life? We’ll explore the literary structure of the chapter, its rich poetic imagery, and the theological implications of lament within a life of faith.

This sermon invites listeners to wrestle honestly with sorrow and to find hope, not in easy answers, but in the God who hears us when words fail.

Join us with an open Bible and an open heart as we journey through Job 3 together.

Continuing where we left off in the Book of Job, we now witness the heavenly scene unfolding with real consequences on earth.
Job has lost nearly everything—his family, his wealth, and now, even his health. He sits in ashes, not in despair, but in worship. There's no pity party, no accusations—only reverence.

Clutching nothing but a broken piece of pottery to scrape his sores, he likely thanks God even for that. In this moment, Job embodies true worship—worship that doesn't depend on comfort, circumstance, or material blessing.

How often do we struggle to give thanks even from within our comfortable homes and with relative health? Yet Job praises God from the ash heap. Perhaps there's more to learn from the ashes than from the abundance.

Grab your Bible, and let’s study together.

In our series of Job the curtain is pulled back on the story and we see behind the scenes. No where in the Bible do we get an opportunity like this! In this wisdom literature we see where Satan stands before God. God speaks to the accuser and says "Have you considered my servant Job?" Could that be said about you in the heavenly courts? If it is said about you, are you prepared for what could come next in your life? Finding Grace in Grief Job loses all his worldly blessings, but he knows his redeemer still lives!

At the pool of bethesda, the scribes, Pharisees and the lawyers couldn't help the man laying beside the pool. Laying there for 38 years, we are sure that a lot of people stepped over him, around him and avoided him. They could sit and listen to his problems, cry with him, maybe even take up money for him. However none of the people could help him ultimately! That is until Jesus comes to the pool and tells the man to get up and WALK! Have you tried to find healing through the people all around you? Only to figure out they are just as broken as you are? Reach out and grab the helm of Jesus' garment, as the master comes near. He is the only one who can help you!

Using, *gasp*, logic! Have you ever considered why Jesus was crucified? Was it the feeding the 5k of people at once? Was it the healing of the blind or causing the lame to walk again? No, it was none of those reasons. It was because he claimed to be God in the flesh. Grab your bible viewer and lets investigate these claims and examine this portion of scripture that points to the divinity of Jesus Christ. Who knows you might even "double down" yourself and stake your claim that Jesus is who he claims to be!RiverSide Church3045 Richardson Bridge RdPrinceton NCSunday Morning at 10 am.Sunday Afternoon at 6 pm.Wednesday Night at 7 pm.https://linktr.ee/attheriver

When Jesus speaks to the woman at the well, she rushes back into town to tell everyone she knew about Jesus! This woman described Jesus as "The man who told me all I ever did!" She was amazed because even though Jesus knew what she did and was doing, he took the time to talk to her!! She does all she can to get people to come out to talk to Jesus! What about you viewer!? Are you getting people to Jesus? Or are you like the disciples who went into the same town, and didn't mention him to anyone. However when she went into the same town she gathered everyone she knew to come to Jesus. You are either gathering people to come to Jesus or hindering them from coming to Him! Grab your bible and lets study the book of John together!RiverSide Church3045 Richardson Bridge RdPrinceton NCSunday Morning at 10 am.Sunday Afternoon at 6 pm.Wednesday Night at 7 pm.https://linktr.ee/attheriver

As Jesus speaks to the woman at the well, the town is turned inside out! The woman returns to town after the encounter and brings people to Christ! Syschar (the town where the Samaritans who were in the dark places where Jesus visited) came out to meet Him because they were desperate. However when he goes to Galilee the people want Him to perform miracles! These people would rather be entertained than healed! Does this describe you and your spiritual walk? This is a very convicting episode of "At The River" so fasten your seat belts as we study John Chapter 4 together.

Zerubbabel and Jeshua set up the alter, long before the corner stone is placed for the temple. When the alter is set up daily sacrifices, celebrations, and free will offerings are now starting up again. The people begin to worship before a temple is in place. We must learn that we worship at our alters every day, no matter what we make our alters too. Do we worship at the alter of netflix, movies, sports, food, comfort, money? We have many alters. Then the cornerstone is laid at the place of the temple, and something incredible happens, the people shout! Some groan, and cry, and some shout for joy. Worship always evokes a reaction!

The faithful scribe doesn't show up until chapter 6, however the years before he's born lots of events take place. The King called by name is stirred in his spirit to build the House of God in Jerusalem. God stirs the clan leaders to come home to Israel. God stirs the people to come together, and stirs them to be concerned with the things of God! In these verses we find many mysteries, however we pull back the curtain and with careful examination find out what they mean! Grab your Bible and lets study together!

Begining with the intro and the overview of the book. We see that Ezra is two volumes written by the faithful scribe known as Ezra. Ezra doesn't show up until about chapter 6, and the begining chapters take place before Ezra is born. The first chapter has a king named Cyrus and we examine who Cyrus is and how God calls him out by name long before he's even born!
