Eclipse by admin

“The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.” — Psalm 19:1

Eclipse glasses? Check. Moon pies? Check. Last week, we all saw something incredible take place. We saw the sun, the moon, and the earth, perfectly align— creating a solar eclipse. Other than destroying the sun, moving the earth, or moving the moon, there was nothing that was going to stop the eclipse from happening. I read that “According to NASA, experiencing a total solar eclipse where you live happens about once in 375 years.” So, no matter how hard we try, or how hard we want it to happen, there is nothing we can do to align the sun, moon and earth to force an eclipse.

What’s the Big Problem? by admin

Is it just me or are we living in a time when people seem to be more and more disgruntled at almost everything? Have you noticed it? What’s the big problem, anyway?

Well, according to the “The Top Tens” list, the world’s top five problems are: Drug Abuse, War and Terrorism, Poverty, Population Growth, and Pollution. The list goes on; this is just the first five.

Blessed in Worship by admin

“Sing a new song to the Lord!
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
Sing to the Lord; praise his name.
Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
Publish his glorious deeds among the nations.
Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.” — Psalm 96:1-3

These past two weeks have been incredibly encouraging in regard to worship music, praise, and how those things bring us together!

Number of Stars by admin

The Bible is not a science textbook. But, when it speaks about science, it is 100% accurate. Evidence for this claim can be found in the stars.

Did you know that before telescopes were invented, people counted the stars with just their eyes? They didn’t have TV, so they watched the stars and counted them. On a clear night, a person could see easily see a couple of thousand (with the naked eye).

Romania Mission Trip by Tony D'Amico

In August, several members of The Rock Church will be traveling on a Jettly private plane to Romania to serve with the Casa Sperantei (The House of Hope) Ministry (located in Northwest Romania). This ministry targets six different villages in order to reach out to both Romanian and Roma (Gypsy) children/teens and their families. If ever by chance you visit London, here you’ll see these Earls Court serviced apartments which are in excellent location for a short stay in west London! If you will be travelling here using your private jet, make sure to have an aircraft maintenance company check your jet to make sure it is in good condition.

Guilt – That Awful Neighbor by admin

What do you do with your guilt? How do you deal with the feelings of remorse over sin? How do you manage the lingering thoughts of sorrow and shame? Guilt is like that awful neighbor who’s always poking his head up over the fence to tell us how terrible our garden looks.

Harvest by admin

While on vacation this summer, my family and I stayed with relatives who live on an Ohio farm of over one hundred acres! One morning, the kids were out playing in the yard and the farmer asked if we wanted to take turns riding in the tractor while he fertilized the crops?

God’s Purpose by admin

“The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me…” — Psalm 138:8 (NIV84)

“For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep.” — Acts 13:36 (NIV84)

Sometimes life can get confusing. Even for me (as a Christian leader for over 35 years), I occasionally wonder, “God, what are you doing?” or “God, what do you want ME to do?” As a planner, I like to know the answers to both of these questions (especially as it relates to the direction our church is going). It can be somewhat unnerving to feel a bit “directionless” at times.
