TEACHING SERIES: Preparing the Way
TITLE: What God asks of you
BY: Nathanael Ballew
DATE: Sunday 4 May 2025
Bible Passage: Matthew 23:23-24, Micah 6:8
Have you ever been so obsessed with the little details of a task, you’ve missed the big picture? Some call this “missing the forest for the trees”, and our relationship with God can be a lot like this. We can become so focused on external rule-following that we miss the deeper call to justice, love and faithfulness. True faith is not just about checking boxes but about a heart surrendered to God, seeking genuine change from the inside out.
Welcome:
What's true of Riverside Church when we meet together in-person is still true of us online. We are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Riverside is a church made up of people from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences all with one thing in common; our discovery of God and His amazing love. We hope you will feel at home among us and that you will find our weekly services, events and groups welcoming and relevant to your life.
Whoever you are, whatever you believe, you're so welcome in this community. To find out more about Riverside Church please visit our website: https://riverside-church.org.uk/
