Road Trip
Walking with Jesus
Catch last week’s message
This Easter at Riverwalk, we began a series called Road Trip: Walking with Jesus, asking at every stop what it looks like to walk with Jesus through the actual texture of ordinary life. We're discovering that walking with Jesus is the oldest and most honest description of what the life of faith actually is. The Christian life is not a set of beliefs you hold, nor an aspiration to some afterlife destination, but a road you walk, mile by mile, today and on into eternity, in the company of the one who already knows the terrain. At Riverwalk, our name is not an accident. We are a people defined not by having arrived, but by who walks with us and by who we follow.
PAST Series
Words From the Cross (Lent Series)
This Lenten series invites us to draw near to the cross and listen to Jesus' final words—spoken in agony yet overflowing with love.
In doing so, we discover that Jesus meets us in our pain and speaks words of profound hope, forgiveness, and belonging.
Behold (Advent Series)
This Advent season, we’re slowing down—just enough to truly see. To look deeply. To notice Christ breaking into our everyday moments. To hold hope, peace, joy, and love right in front of us.
To remember not only His coming at Christmas, but to see His Kingdom breaking into our everyday lives, and to look forward with hope to His coming again.
Into the Wilderness (Lent 2025)
This Lent, we journey over 40 days with Jesus and the people of God in the wilderness and discover what it means to wander these parts of life honestly with God. Lent’s slowness invites us to identify the distractions in our lives – the things we reach for when we are too tired, too sad, or too afraid to enter the wilderness of the present moment, OR too tired or sad or afraid to even remember that we do not go alone into that wilderness. We go with the Spirit who abides with us.
We will learn how crying out to God in our need can help us fully embrace what it means to be human beings held and loved by a God we can trust. We will learn that even through the darkest valleys, Jesus goes ahead of us and walks with us.
One Thing
“One Thing,” is based on the scripture passages that mention the phrase and theme of "one thing." Our hope is that, as we go into a new year, we would ask, "God, what is the one thing that you want to be different about in my/our life/lives?" By digging deeper into the priorities of God’s heart and people, we examine and address our priorities, motivations, and what spurs or hinders us from becoming more like Christ.
Good News For All People (ADvent 2024)
