COTR AK - Podcast

Jesus is not just another heavenly messenger… He's far greater! Hebrews gives us insight into angels and the importance of their role in the biblical narrative. Still, even they do not compare to the radiance of God's glory, the One who holds the universe together, and the Savior who knows us by name. Join us as we discover why Jesus truly is better than the angels and how that changes everything for us today. The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose, and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

We live in a day and age where we have access to more information than we know what to do with. The same is true when it comes to our spiritual walk, we have access to more spiritual content than ever before. But is this a good thing? This week we are going to explore how Jesus is the greatest Revelation of God, and how we don't need more information, we need a revelation of Him! The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus.

I often hear people say that the reason they've started coming to our Sunday services is because they want their kids to "grow up in church.” While I appreciate the idea, I often want to say something along the lines of, "I also think our Sunday gatherings are great, but what our kids actually need is to grow up around parents who are completely surrendered to Jesus.” I may not know a lot, but I do know this: you can't pass on what you don't personally possess. In other words, if we want to have something to give to the next generation, we must first acquire it for ourselves. This week, we will unpack what the Scriptures say is the precious possession and how to pass it down to those who follow us!

What would you choose to write in your final letter to someone? This Sunday, we'll explore Paul's final letter ever written before his execution, the letter of 2 Timothy. In it we will discover what it means to take the message of Jesus personally, so it shapes not just what we believe, but how we love, live, and lead every day. As we open this powerful book together, we'll find the words of a man who has run his race, kept the faith, and wants to pass on something eternal. His letter reminds us that following Jesus is not merely an idea we agree with, but a life we embody.

The “experts” say that we are about to experience the greatest transfer of wealth from one generation to the next that world has ever seen. In fact here's exactly what they say; “Gen X and Millennials are set to inherit a staggering $124 trillion in assets over the next 23 years in what many call America's Great Wealth Transfer.” Although I am or not at all sure you or I will see any of that, I am certain of this, $124 trillion is nothing compared to the transfer made on our behalf over 2,000 years ago! The real question though is this, will we be faithful to ensure that the message of the Gospel gets transferred to the next generation, or will it die with us? The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus.

Even in chains, facing trial and uncertainty, the Apostle Paul found a joy that couldn't be taken away. Philippians is often called “The Epistle of Joy” — not just because Paul mentions joy 16 times, but because his own life exemplifies how true joy is rooted in God's unchanging presence and grace.  Paul's message is clear: no adversity, no hardship, no external circumstance can steal the joy we find in Christ. Join us this week as we explore how we, too, can hold onto a joy that remains steadfast — a joy that nothing can take or steal.

“Membership has its privileges!” i remember hearing these credit card ads as a kid and thinking, “I wanna be a privileged member!” I mean seriously, who wouldn't want special access to exclusive privileges? A few weeks ago, I was at an airport and realized that my Amex card gained access to the airport lounge that I had previously thought only Elon Musk got to use. Not only did I also have the authority to enter the world of the rich and famous, but I even had THE authority to bring a friend! Membership has its privileges! If you find that appealing, wait until you hear where we're headed this Sunday, because membership in the family of God also comes with privileges that you may have been previously unaware of.

This week, we're starting our "Identity, Redefined at the Root" series, and we're using Ephesians to establish and explore the blessing and position of being a believer, a part of the church, and trying to understand what it looks like to win!

ECHO Global Missions Conference may be over, but the mission continues.  Our missionaries have moved on to their next assignments, and now we're left with a question that lingers: What's my Holy Discontent? When we recognize that "The Lord isn't really being slow about His promise... He is patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed but wants everyone to repent." (2 Peter 3:9) We can't help but respond with Holy Discontent. God's patience is purposeful. It's a divine pause giving us time to join Him in His mission of redemption. So, what does that look like for us? Maybe it means taking a prayer card, or a few, and committing to pray faithfully for our missionaries. Maybe it's setting up your recurring giving to follow through on the monthly pledge you made during ECHO. Or maybe God is stirring something deeply personal, a new step of faith in your home, your community, your nation, or even to the nations.  Whatever it is, let's move together from inspiration to action. Let's gather in expectation believing that the same Spirit that moved at ECHO will continue to ignite hearts and galvanize the church into action. Because His patience isn't hesitation, it's invitation. The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus.

What if you knew exactly what God wanted? Would it change anything about how you spent your days and nights? Would you reorient your life around it? Would you have desire to see God to get what He desires? According to second Peter chapter three verse nine, God wants everyone to repent and be saved and He wants no one to be destroyed. To be entirely honest it is somewhat embarrassing to ask how much of my own life is oriented around that same desire.  How much of my own time, talent and treasure have I leveraged to reach “One More” for Christ? In case you aren't aware, as a church we have set out on two year discipleship journey to try and reach as many “One Mores” as possible…and we're just getting started! This week we kick off our Pre-ECHO Global Missions Conference and I can't wait to see what Jesus has to say to us as we simply say yes to Him! The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus.
