Let the Word of God Lead You

Dear Church, Together with you, we continue to be troubled by the events in our world regarding race and racism. Naturally, there are multiple voices we turn to in these times of uncertainty. For example, many of us turn to our favorite author or speakers. Some of us look to our news outlets, social media feeds or friends/family for direction. Though many of these are fine resources, as your pastors, we would encourage you (above all other resources), to let the Word of God lead you.

Even in our restlessness, our fears and our questions, God’s Word remains the same. Truly, the Word of God is alive and powerful!

Hope of Jesus

Have you sensed that now, more than ever, we need the hope of Jesus? In unbelievable ways, our culture is divided, scared, enraged and much like a sheep without a shepherd.

Together with you, we are heartbroken over the racial divides, injustices, murders, riots, bigotry, fear and hate spreading across our country. Like you, we are saddened and seeking Jesus for an appropriate response to somehow speak love to our brothers and sisters who have had to live with racism and hate in ways many of us will never know. How do we tell them that we love them without it seeming small? How do we become more involved without it seeming trite?

Having said that, there are some things we want you to know during this process:

The Rock Church response to the SCOTUS decision to legalize gay marriage

Dear Rock Church Member,

As you probably know, the Supreme Court Of The United Sates (SCOTUS), in a landmark decision today, ruled in favor of legalizing gay marriage. As your pastors, we felt it would be appropriate to let you know our response to this ruling. FYI, much of this reply reflects the response that the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) sent out today.
