BIBLE PASSAGES: Daniel 12:5-13 (Daniel 10-12)
EXCERPT:
“It just doesn’t make sense.” Have you ever said that to yourself? Whether it’s some homework that you don’t understand, a form you need to fill in, or a situation that is beyond you, we all face perplexing things sometimes. What if it is life in general? And, what if the hardship you go through seems to cloud out God. Is there ever any meaning in times of mayhem?
“Our godlike beauty is hidden beneath curtains of shame.” (Gregory Of Nyssa)
“The Church of Christ in this world always was and will be oppressed – either by a false protection, converting it into a tool of the state, to Caesar’s ends, or by persecution.” (Nikolai Berdyaev)
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.
