Special guests Simone & Sarah Assis were interviewed by Tim Healy at Riverview Church's annual Reach Giving weekend. Tim also spoke about how we need to trust in God for our provision, and use what He provides to do good.

The biblical mandate to 'do good' is about more than charity or philanthropy. It's about leading change, influencing others and seeing transformation in our communities. Discover the important role that your example plays in realising that transformation.

Doing good often leads to physical tiredness and emotional weariness so how do we safeguard our hearts against the onset of giving and serving fatigue?

God wants us to be a blessing to others through doing good. The good news is that we don’t need money, education, ability or popularity to do so. The opportunity to do good is all around us. We just need to be able to see it and willing to seize it.

How do we do good? And how do we know what we do is good? Tim Costello explains that we need to measure what we do against Jesus, the definition of what God is, and why God is good.

Life’s storms are an opportunity for God to grow his people and show his power. Lessons from the life of Jonah help us discover how God uses storms to achieve his plan and purpose for each and every one of us.

Is there someone that you compare yourself to, and find that you never seem to be enough, have enough or do enough to match them? We need to avoid the Comparison Trap, and discover that in Jesus, we are enough.

Storms are an inevitable reality of life. So how do we navigate them well? In Acts 27, the apostle Paul faced a terrifying storm, and his story is a guide for how we can navigate our own storm.

Riverview Church thanks and honours Haydn and Belinda Nelson for all that they have done over the last 10 years.

Sometimes in life we experience deep disappointment. That disappointment may be with ourselves for our own failures and shortcomings, or with God for not acting in the way we think he should. Either way, Jesus meets us in our disappointment and leads us.

Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is a very powerful passage in Scripture. Guest Speaker Sheridan Voysey explains that if we put these words into practice, we can have a resilient life in the face of the many storms that come our way.

Have you ever noticed that, sometimes in life, stuff happens? Things don’t go the way we planned, expected or hoped. But God can take our broken hearts and turn them into burning hearts.

Guest Speaker Dan Lian spoke at the Riverview Church Easter services about how the first Easter changes everything in our lives today.

What should we do when relationships that are complicated lead to relationships in conflict? There is one simple but powerful principle that we find in the letter of James that can put us on the pathway to peace.

When we stand together for what is good and right, we seem to be at our best and it brings out our best. And when God is added to this dynamic, things get lifted to a whole new level.

Every generation has a unique contribution to make to the life of the church and understanding how and why we differ from one another is the first step to recognising the value each generation adds.

All of us play a part in growing the next generation. But when we sow God's love into the next generation, the effects go beyond what we can see and do.

Are we secure in God so that we can champion others to shine for God? The story of Saul, Jonathan and David shines a light on that question and so a light into our hearts.
