This week we talk about Wisdom & Perseverance and how that is relative to our ability to follow the voice of God in our lives. Pastor Paul does a deep dive into 2 prayers from the Apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians

This week we talked about the last two of the four love needs in every relationship.

This week we talk about two of the four love needs in every relationship.  Those love needs are unconditional love and intimacy.  We hope this week’s message will encourage you in your relationships.

  There are two different kinds of people that the Bible shows us that God is looking for.  God is on an all-out search for people who are fully committed to Him and the lost.

This week we took a look at a conversation that Jesus had with the Pharisees to see what God says is important to Him.  What is important to God should help us to see the purpose that God has for us on earth.

For the last Sunday of the year, we took a look at what the Bible says about making the rest of your life the best of your life.  

For this week’s message, we talked about the gift of peace.  In Isaiah’s prophecy about the coming of Christ, he calls him the Prince of Peace.  Christ came to give us peace in our lives in the midst of a chaotic world.

Isaiah 9:2 “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.”   One of the gifts that Jesus gave us is the gift of hope in the midst of great darkness.

This week we took a look at some events in the life of the Prophet Elijah.  These events show us that even in uncertain times God still provides, that prayer doesn’t always produce instant results, and when you are doing God’s will you will face opposition.

This week Pastor Devin shares from his heart about how parents have the greatest influence on their kids and the faith that they have in God as they grow up.  So he encourages us to please pass the faith! 

Prayer has a way of creating open heavens over our lives where we can live in the supernatural favor and blessing of God.  Listen and be encouraged to grow your prayer life!

In a world where a lack of faithfulness is all around us, we can be encouraged because God is always faithful!

The Bible tells us that God has given us gifts.  It also tells us that it is our responsibility to “stir up the gift that is in you.”  God gives us gifts and we have to cultivate, grow, and fan into the flame those gifts in what God desires.  

Jesus said that the world will know that we are his disciples by the love we have for one another.  Live in love!

This week at Church On The Rock Pastor Paul spoke on the importance of making sure that was you say about other people, whether on social media or in conversation, is filled with grace and truth.

This week Pastor Rob used the story of the Prodigal son to talk about how great God’s love is for us.  Listen and enjoy!

God desires to use your life to make a difference in the world around you.  There is no reason for you to believe that God cant use you regardless of your circumstances.

God desires that our lives should be river’s and not reservoirs.  The goodness of God that comes to us should flow from us to others around us.

Listen to this message by Pastor Robert Mallory as he shares on the facts surrounding Jesus historically and the importance of giving our lives to Him.

Jesus said, “Come follow me . . . and I will make you fishers of men.”  Following Jesus means to become a disciple-maker.

Being a follower of Jesus is not about following a certain amount of rules and regulations.

It is impossible for you to be a disciple if you are easily offended.

What does it mean to be a Christian?  It means to be a follower of Jesus!

What does it look like when the Kingdom of God comes upon you?  In order to know when that happens, you need to know ahead of time what it is that you want God to do.

How do we respond when the world around us seems to be living in fear, hate, and chaos?  Jesus gives us a great example of what our focus should be on.

Anchor thoughts are the sub-conscience thoughts that we have about ourselves.  These thoughts anchor us in God’s reality for us or they can anchor us in a lie that misleads us.

This is our message from our Father’s Day service.

“Do not conform to the patterns of the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”  What does it look like to live your life with a transformed mind?

As our world around us is going crazy there is one attribute that best reflects the life and character of Jesus: empathy.  How well do we empathize with those around us that are hurting?

James tells us to resist the devil and he will flee.  Knowing how to do that is how we win the battle.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.  Knowing was the curse of the law is helps us understand what Jesus’ redemptive power did for us.

This week we started a new series discussing the issue of sickness and healing.  What does the Bible tell us about where sickness came from?

On Mother’s Day we celebrated all the ladies that make COTR so great!  We talked about how Jesus was a great revolutionary when it came to women being treated with respect.

Fear can be one of the greatest enemies of our work.  However, God has not given us a spirit of Fear!

Frustration can be one of the great enemies of our work.

Distractions can be one of the great enemies of our work.

What a difference 3 days can make with Jesus.

What a difference three days can make in you life.

1 John gives us clear understanding of what it looks like to live in love or in hate.

Gods will is for us to become more and more like his son.

If we walk with God we will walk in the light and with love.
