Riverside Reflections

“THEY DIED… SO YOU COULD LIVE RIGHT” Folks, let me talk to you for a minute. We’re living in a generation that’s forgotten what sacrifice looks like. We’ve traded sanctuaries for stadiums, altars for algorithms, and blood for blessings we don’t even say grace over anymore. But let me remind you— freedom ain’t free. This Memorial Day, while folks are lighting fireworks and flipping burgers, I came to light a fire in your spirit and flip the tables in your soul! Because before you lift another fork, you better bow your head and remember: Somebody died so you could live. ✝️ THEY FELL ON EARTHLY BATTLEFIELDS… We remember the soldiers—the brave men and women who didn’t come home. The ones who marched through mud and mortar, not for medals, but for mission . They bled in silence so you could shout in liberty. They laid down their lives while we lay down on couches. And I thank God for every single one of them. I thank God for the folded flags, the weeping mothers, the empty ...

Stop by our booth for free prayer, encouragement, and revival fire! “We went from church to church, and they were nice… but it all felt like a concert. We never really felt anything—until we visited your tent revival that day. My kids started crying. I felt the fire. We all got baptized that m...

Where Are the Churches at the Market? By Church of New Revival Let me ask you something today, brothers and sisters: Where are the churches? I’m not talking about the Sunday morning buildings. I’m not talking about the padded pews, the LED walls, or the polished productions. I’m talking about the streets. The fields. The marketplaces. I’m talking about the places where the people already are. For over two decades, we’ve attended hundreds of events—craft fairs, trade shows, wellness expos, local festivals, and small-town vendor markets. We’ve stood in the heat, in the rain, under tents and beside booths of handmade soap, barbecue sauce, candles, tumblers, and local art. And in all that time— do you know how many churches we’ve seen show up? Almost none.   The Few That Do Now, to be fair, there are a few that show up. And God bless them: The youth fundraiser table selling baked goods. The Catholic outreach van handing out rosaries and pamphlets. The occasional local church givi...

ANNOUNCEMENTS: We apologize for the continued livestream issues. Our full message, *He Never Left You*, is now scheduled to air next Sunday, May 11 at 10 AM. We are excited to announce that our original worship music will soon be available  on streaming platforms like Spotify! Virtual  Wednesday Night Bible Study is coming soon — stay tuned for more details! More messages on our blog are coming soon — stay tuned for more details because the spirit is always moving and we hope to spread the message more often. Thank you for standing with us. Revival cannot be stopped.   There’s a sound missing in some churches today. Not because the band isn't playing… not because the screens aren’t bright enough… but because the Spirit isn’t moving. Oh yes, the building may be full, but the fire is gone. The songs are rehearsed, but the power is rehearsed too. And people walk in heavy and leave the same way they came — untouched, unshaken, unchanged. I'm not here to bash any c...
