Lewis' Narnia series - this week, we see Christmas as a great reversal of how power and prominence work in the world. http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/the-great-reversal http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/peter-chin-the-great-reversal.mp3 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:25:30 GMT Peter Chin The Coming of the King It seems strange to be thankful for what is to come, but it is not that foreign of a concept, because that is what hope is! But biblically, our hope is not in this world and what it offers, but in heaven, an increasingly forgotten and ignored concept in the modern church. How do we reclaim our celebration of heaven, and our hope? http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/thankful-for-where-we-are-going http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/peter-chin-thankful-for-where-we-are-going.mp3 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:20:31 GMT Peter Chin Thankful For All Time riverside_covenant,hope,thanksgiving Being thankful for our present, everyday reality can be very difficult because nothing seems so outstanding about our present - it's difficult to be thankful for the humdrum times of life. But this is not the truth, that even in the present, we have every reason to be deeply grateful unto God. http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/thankful-for-where-we-are http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/peter-chin-thankful-for-where-we-are.mp3 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:57:19 GMT Peter Chin Thankful For All Time riverside,thanksgiving,present,daily We begin a new sermon series for the month of November, looking at how we can be more thankful for our past, present and future. http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/thankful-for-where-weve-been http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/peter-chin-thankful-for-where-weve-been.mp3 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 19:41:25 GMT Peter Chin Thankful For All Time Up to this point, we have been focusing on factors beside God - the red herrings that fake us out, the busyness of our lives. But now we focus on God himself, and what we realize is that part of the reason why we do not find God is because in some way...we are looking for the wrong God. http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/the-real-waldo http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/the-real-waldo.mp3 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:52:09 GMT Peter Chin Where's The Real Thing? Another key reason why we fail to find God in our lives is that we simply do not give ourselves enough time, that we try get impatient in our search. But it is unreasonable to expect an eternal God to be found in such small frames of time - how can we carve more time in our lives to become aware of God's presence? http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/giving-it-time http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/giving-it-time.mp3 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 14:04:49 GMT Peter Chin Where's The Real Thing? riverside,waldo,waiting,time,patience One of the most difficult parts of finding God is that so much of our time and energy is spent pursuing other things, mainly things that resemble God in some way or offer the same benefits. Because of this, it is helpful to be able to identify these fakes and imposters and deal with them as all idols are dealt with... http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/fakes-and-imposters http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/fakes-and-imposters.mp3 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:09:18 GMT Peter Chin Where's The Real Thing? One of the main reasons why we have a hard time finding God in our lives is because our lives are too crowded, and God's presence is pushed to the outskirts. There are many good and practical things we can do to minimize our busyness, but most importantly, we have to ask a difficult question of ourselves - are we too busy for God because he is playing second fiddle to other priorities? http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/a-crowded-scene http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/a-crowded-scene.mp3 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:19:17 GMT Peter Chin Where's The Real Thing? riverside,busyness,lordship We begin our new sermon series, looking at how we can better identify God in the midst of our crazy lives. And we start with the basics - are we in a good position? Are we within distance of seeing God, or are we out of sight, not even close? http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/not-even-close http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/not-even-close.mp3 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 17:26:20 GMT Peter Chin Where's The Real Thing? riverside,luke,seeing_god,covenant We are taking a season as a church to try to break through, and reconnect ourselves with the realness of our relationship with God. One way in which we can do this is by fasting, which is not only ancient and ascetic practice of self-denial, but something far more relational than we think. http://www.sermoncloud.com/the-riverside-covenant-church/breakthrough-fasting http://sermoncloud.monkserve.com/EKK/3265/breakthrough-fasting.mp3 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 19:24:03 GMT Peter Chin Breakthrough
