About this Web Site

Introduction

Welcome to the new Riverside Bible Church web site.  This site is designed primarily to provide searchable access to Bible studies as they were recorded live at the church. Feel free to peruse the site and listen or download any study that you may want as you study the Word of God with us.

There are over 4000 studies in the library featuring several speakers covering every book of the Word of God. Most studies are recorded live in verse be verse fashion in open discussion format. Every book of the New Testament is taught verse by verse except the book of Mark and many books of the Old Testament likewise are taught verse by verse. There is an Old Testament and New Testament survey series that deal with every book as well as topical studies such as Basic Bible Doctrines, prayer and Biblical Theology.  The studies are searchable by Speaker, by Series, by Book, by Topic and by Passage.

A series is a group of studies by one speaker usually covering one book of the Bible.  It typically is identified by the Book name followed by the year in which it began.  For instance, the Book of Colossians was studied on two different occasions by two speakers and was identified by Colossians_1985 and Colossians_2017.  Special series are identified with the description of the study such as Basic Bible Doctrines 3, Basic Bible Doctrines 1, Prayer or Old Testament Survey 1973.

Listening and Downloading Bible Studies

You can choose to listen on-line or downloading to your computer, phone or tablet for listening at a later time.

  1. From any page on the riversidebible.church web site, select BIBLESTUDIES in the menu bar at the top of the page. You will be taken to the Bible Studies page and presented with the most recent studies by ascending date where you can choose to listen to any of the 10 most recent studies.
  2. Alternatively, you can select the button and locate all Bible Studies sorted by Series name.  Note that the sort ignores the number of the numbered Books.  For instance, first, second and third John is sorted with the Book of John and first and second Corinthians appears between Colossians and Daniel. Also, note the you will see only 10 series per page.  Our intent is to present more than 10 in future upgrades.
  3. Or, instead of selecting the Series button you may select the filter button where you can select studies by Scripture Book, Topic or Speaker.
  4. When you have located a study, you may listen to it on line or download for future listening. You will see 10 studies per page.  Here again, we intend to show more than 10 per page in future upgrades.
  5. To listen on line, press the listen button.
  6. To download for future listening and other options, press the scripture icon or the scripture passage in bold type.
  7. To listen, press the listen button or the bold arrow in the middle of the screen.
  8. For other options press the options button (3 cornered icon). Here you may share on Facebook or Twitter, download the study or copy a link to the study.

Searching

  1. There is a ‘Search Sermons’ search box in the upper right corner of the home page that provides passage search capabilities. As you begin typing a passage, a list of possible matches to your inquiry will be displayed with an option to display more results.  The page presents all studies that are identified with that passage regardless of speaker, series or book.
  2. The most specific and accurate passage search is on the BIBLESTUDIES page. In the ‘Search’ box on the right side of the screen, enter the passage you wish to search.  For instance, enter John 5:21 and you will be presented with a list of all studies that specifically identifies that passage in the study name.  The system will not find the passage if it is included in a range of verses.  For instance, it will not find John 5:21 if the study name is John 5:20-26.

Recording Quality

We apologize for the quality of many of the old recordings.  They were recorded on early technology often with outside interference and with inferior equipment noise.  We have spent many hours digitizing those old tape recordings and have attempted to repair the noises and tape distortions.  Much work still needs to be done and we will continue to work on them as time and skills become available.  Click here to notify us of any recording that you may be particularly interested in that needs to be repaired.  We will make an effort to make the repair, get back with you and republish them.

Available Recordings

Over the years we have distributed thousands of cassette tapes and CDs.  The web site has replaced that method of broadcasting these studies.  However, recording of any of the messages on this site are available in Wave or MP3 format on CD, DVD or flash drive.  We make them available free of charge to anyone requesting them.  Click here to contact us regarding your needs.  We will be happy to discuss your needs and provide customized recordings to anyone who wants copies.
