  1. Looking forward to seeing you soon as we reopen!

    Leave a Comment

    The pastors have made the decision to reopen our weekend worship services to the public on the weekend of June 20 & 21! We will meet at our regular times (6:00 p.m. on Saturday, 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. on Sunday). There is no pressure to attend — we totally understand if you can’t. But, we’d love to have you join us if you feel ready and are comfortable.

    In light of this reopening, we’d like to share some of the changes you can expect when you arrive back in our building. First, our heart is to honor Jesus and to keep our flock safe by heeding some basic social distancing guidelines from our state, federal and medical leaders. Keeping that in mind, here are just a few of the restrictions that we will implement as we reopen. (Note: These Guidelines are only temporary until we are confident that we can move ahead safely.)

  3. Strength to Weather the Storm + What’s Happening

    Leave a Comment

    I have a thought for you from the book of Ruth. Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi, experienced tragedy after tragedy. But, Naomi insightfully understood that everything that happened in her life was from the hand of the Lord. This gave her strength in the midst of tragedy. 

    As Christians, we need to understand that God is in control of both the good things and the troubles that are in our lives. That should give us the strength we need to weather the trials and storms that come.

  4. Tomorrow Will be Anxious for Itself

    Leave a Comment

    With all that is going on in our world right now, it can be easy to find a million things to be anxious about. If you’re like me, you can end up worrying about way more than you can handle. You try to plan out your next steps, days, weeks and even months — and you set your hope in those plans.

    Christian, we don’t know what tomorrow holds — it will be anxious for itself. But, we should remember who holds our future. We should trust our Perfect Father. He will provide us with all that we need (not what we want) for the future.

  5. Spirit-filled Patience

    Leave a Comment

    There have been a number of things over the last few weeks that have tested our patience. It seems to be about the first thing to go out the window, am I right? 

    In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul tells us about the Fruits of the Spirit. The Word tells us that Jesus is doing a good work in us — one that will allow us to tap into Spirit-filled patience.

    Prayer Lesson for The Rock Kids

    Hello, parents! I am happy to share another special video with you and your children. Today, we are going to talk about one of my favorite things to do in the whole world. We are going to talk about prayer.

    It is so important for our kids to learn that Jesus loves it when they talk to Him. We can talk to Him anywhere, anytime, about anything. He is an awesome Father who loves to hear our prayers.

  7. The Harvest is Plentiful but the Workers are Few

    Leave a Comment

    I heard some experts say that because of all the online services available this past weekend, it was the most attended Easter weekend in the history of the world! Isn’t that amazing? Clearly, we can see that the harvest for the Gospel is plentiful, even during this worldwide crisis. 

    I believe that you and I have a unique opportunity and we shouldn’t miss it. There are three ways I believe we can be a part of seeing the harvest gathered right now. Watch the video above to hear all about it.

    The logo for our gosepl of mark series. In our study through the gospel of Mark, we’ll discover more about Jesus’ servant life, His ministry and the training of His disciples.

    Jesus, The Servant King

    We’re excited to continue on with The Gospel of Mark series and hope you’ll join us.

    Mark tells us the life story of the King who came not to be served, but to serve. It’s an exciting account of the Son of God that could speak to both the Jews and the non-Jews of Mark’s day. In our study through the book of Mark, we’ll discover more about Jesus’ servant life, His ministry and the training of His disciples.

  9. Difficulties are Food for Faith to Feed on

    Leave a Comment

    In the middle of trials, are you seeing the opportunity for your faith to grow? As George Mueller put it, “difficulties are food for faith to feed on.” 

    Hebrews 11:1 says that, “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Faith takes future realities and brings them into our present realities. It is a rock-solid confidence in God’s Word — even in the midst of difficulties.
