Here we are, day 21, have you seen everything you asked for fulfilled? Sister Teri and I dare say, probably not. As we have fulfilled a commitment to God, it gives us confidence in our relationship with Him. In 1st John it says “Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. (NLT)”.  We encourage you to be confident in His ability to do “exceeding abundantly above ...  Read More

As we are almost to the end of these 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, today’s prayer for Holy Spirit Revelation is a key to the coming year.  We trust that God has heard our intensive efforts to draw closer to God and therefore will pour out His Holy Spirit upon Sister Teri and I as Pastors, YOU as an individual, and Riverdale Assembly of God as the “Church of the Living God”!!! Pray that the deeper...  Read More

The dictionary definition of study says, “the devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge on an academic subject”. It also says, “especially by means of books”. Sister Teri and I believe that for the Christian, it boils down to the study of the book, THE BIBLE!!! If we know what this book says, we will have no problem with the other concepts on today’s prayer list. Pray that we study to ...  Read More

Sister Teri and I love our church, not the building at 2813 W. Mount Whitney Avenue. We do appreciate the beautiful facilities that God has blessed us with, but we would be wasting our time to pray for the “building”.  The real church is the “Bride of Christ” and that is you and I, and we are called to dwell together in unity, strive for faith, and hold to pure doctrine. So today, join us in prayi...  Read More

When the question was asked, "If you could choose what you want most in life, what would you ask for?" The most common answer was “PEACE”. World peace? Domestic peace? What is the peace you desire most? Sister Teri and I would venture to guess that the most coveted form of peace would be “INNER PEACE”! As I have stated many times in the last few months, PEACE is a “Fruit of the Spirit”. We believe...  Read More

Sister Teri and I count it a great privilege to serve as your Pastors. We appreciate every prayer lifted to God on our behalf, and we are especially thankful for this concerted day of prayer for us!  We hope that this type of prayer goes up for us continually. Pray that our Pastors are faithful (Ps 31:23)  Psalms 31:23  O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and ...  Read More

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” This quote from the book of Philippians was often quoted by Brother Charles Fritchey. Sister Teri and I are praying that “This Mind” will be in us as well as lead Riverdale Assembly of God.  We are also praying that you also need “This Mind” to lead your family, your ministry, your business, and any other your …. you are involved in!!!! Pr...  Read More

On Day 9, the devotional dealt with vision and purpose and how vital they are to Christians in general and to Riverdale Assembly of God specifically. Sometimes we look at volunteering as a small thing, but Sister Teri and I both realize that a volunteer can have as much or more to do with the success of any endeavor undertaken as the Pastor. Pray for the vision and purpose of the ministry to come ...  Read More

Finding PURPOSE is an interesting challenge. I think many times we confuse PURPOSE with desires, goals, dreams. While in some instances these words might be synonymous, PURPOSE is the one that can answer that age-old question, “Why am I here?”.  Sister Teri and I believe that only God can give you real PURPOSE in this life, and fulfilling that PURPOSE is the only thing that will satisfy your etern...  Read More

Since today’s focus is on youth and youth ministry, Sister Teri and I would like to encourage you to pray for the upcoming choir tour. Pray that God will open the right doors and that lives will be touched in each and every service. Part 2 is about light, reminding us that we, through Jesus Christ, are the “Light of the World”. Where there is LIGHT, the darkness is dispelled.Pray that God will use...  Read More

Moving forward in the face of the unknown, possibly God’s plan for your life, is sometimes alarming.  So, this is where “COURAGE” comes in, allowing you to move forward, probably out of your “comfort zone”, following the one who gave His all for YOU!!!  Sister Teri and I are praying that God will give you the “COURAGE” to move onward despite your fear of the unknown!!! Pray for the courage to obey...  Read More

It has been an inspiring time of prayer and fasting, hearing and witnessing what God is speaking to and doing through his people. Sister Teri and I would like to encourage you again, if you fail, get up and go again. “Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston Churchill Pray for believers to increase their prayer life (Luke 18:1).  Luke 18:1 A...  Read More

Riverdale Assembly of God should always keep in mind its Purpose, Mission, and Vision. I’m not sure the proper sequence for these items, but let me quickly give you my thoughts on these items as they relate to RAG.  Purpose: Riverdale Assembly of God exists to lead souls to Christ, teach and disciple in sound doctrine, provide resources to families, and to love and encourage each other in our dail...  Read More

We have completed one week on our journey of Prayer and Fasting. The good news is you have made it this far, the bad news is - still two weeks to go. All kidding aside, Sister Teri and I are excited to see young and old doing their part to see revival. One day last week, we stepped out of my office and witnessed a group of five preteen boys sitting on the edge of the platform in the sanctuary. The...  Read More

As we honor God with our tithe and offerings, God will in turn honor us with blessings, “pressed down, shaken together, and running over”.  Read More

Some synonyms for “GODLY” are holy, pious, devout, spiritual, reverent. Can we apply this principle to our families? To our marriages? To our daily lives? The Bible says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you”.  Read More

Today, we are praying for “God’s Favor”. This word “Favor” indicates that He is partial to us, He is biased toward us, He wants to endow us, even to the point of preferential treatment.  Read More

Our nation needs REVIVAL, a real heaven-sent revival of repentance and turning from SIN, without it, we are headed for a downfall like we have never seen.  Read More

Today, Sister Teri and I are asking you to pray for God to give us Guidance in each and every ministry at Riverdale Assembly of God. As you pray, please truly consider what position God would have you play in supporting, assisting, or possibly leading one of the ministries of our church.  Read More
