One of the greatest mysteries and most wonderful truths of the Christian faith is that God not only came to us but became like us in the person of Jesus Christ. Discover why it was necessary for Him to do so and how God’s brief time here on earth deeply impacts on our daily lives in the twenty-first century.

Last week Tim talked about the call to gather as a community of devoted followers of Jesus. This week, Beau explores the reason why we gather, and how gathering together goes hand in hand with the call to go and be image bearers of Jesus in our lives.

Getting together regularly with other believers is an essential part of what it means to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus. By making it a priority we overcome the demands of life that draw our attention and commitment away from this vital aspect of faith life. If it’s important to you you will find a way, if it’s not, you’ll find an excuse.

The second installment of our conversation regarding the values and priorities that will shape our shared life together at Riverview as we pursue the future God has in mind and in store for us.

There are five specific words that represent the values and priorities we believe will significantly shape our shared life together as a faith community. Discover what they and why they matter as we continue to focus on our future.

Change is an inevitable and essential part of life, necessary for growth and health and vital for becoming all that God desires us to be. The change that God wants to bring into our lives can often be challenging so Jesus guides us with words of truth that help us respond to and receive God’s best for our lives.

We are culturally diverse, and we are also generationally diverse. Each generation has different skills, experiences and attitudes that can benefit everyone. And when we unify ourselves through Jesus Christ, we can show the nature of God to the world.

What motivates us to do the things we do? Why do we sometimes do things, and then can't explain why? Jason Jaggard, CEO of Novus Global, identifies four things that, if we can change the way they influence our behaviour, can be leveraged to push our lives forward into new and great things.

Jesus doesn’t invite us into a comfortable life, he invites us into a meaningful one. Guest speaker Jason Jaggard, CEO of Novus Global, explores the will of God for our lives, and how we can make them extraordinary.

Cultural diversity is something to be celebrated. The future that Jesus is creating is a future in which people from every ethnic background come together, united by the common foundation of Jesus as Lord, to fulfill humanity's collective vocation.
