ROCK HARBOR CHURCH

Sometimes what we want isn't what we need. Walking and living in the will of the Lord, that is what we really need.

Almost everything is done digitally anymore. It has become part of everyday life. We need to be careful and not let this wisdom supersede the wisdom of God.

The walls that keep us from God. Only God can bring them down. If you walk in His will, the walls will fall.

We all face giants, problems and troubles. But we can find strength and courage in Christ Jesus.

We all can find hope in Jesus. With Him in our lives and the eternity we can spend with Him.

We are a special to God. There is a joy to be had in Him. Yet we have to do some cleaning up. Following boundaries the Lord puts in place, to help us grow near to Him.

The Word of God is so much. Its our weapon, its our protection, its our wisdom. The Bible is far more then we truly understand.

Preparing for Jesus to return is an everyday thing. It should be how we live every moment. Looking and longing for His return.

The people make up the church of God. In Christ and through Christ. People individually are the house of Christ as well. How is your house?

We were all lost at some point and needed help finding our way. If you dont have and know Jesus then you are lost. We need Jesus to bring us to repentance then guide us in a life with Him. Saving others that are walking in circles.

In this world there is sin and temptations all around us. It is up to us what we allow in our homes. From what we listen to, what we watch. As believers we are called to be holy and acceptable. To sever the Lord.

As christians we will face and deal with lots of problems and hardships. Hope we deal with these things is important on being Christians. How we handle life is the real example.

God loved us so much He sent His Son to Save us. That is if we choose to accept Him and turn away from the things of this world. And into His loving embrace.

Paul encouraged the church to stand firm in Christ. Even when life gets hard, even when we dont feel like it. Stand strong in the faith.

God is in us, us in praise, us in faith, us in receiving. We are selfish, we want to do want we want. Us, the people of God want to please the Lord.

In this world we all deal with troubles, with pain, with fear, with loss, will anger. Yet there is a rest we can have from the chaos. A peace, a rest in the middle of our storms.

Rest in the Lord. Rooted in Jesus, in the Word. Growing nearer to the Father. Walking in the Spirit. Living for the the Kingdom of God.

We are called to be holy and acceptable sacrifices for God. There are three types of people in this world. Which one are you?

How do you see things? Do you see them from the right point of view? Seeing things in faith. Knowing God has made the way, we just have to walk it out.

We are called to have pure minds. To stir up the Holy Spirit within us. That keep our minds right in the Lord. To remind our selves the Day of the Lord is at hand.

At the end of Job we see God answering him. What we could all learn from this. Knowing God is in control, at all times. We must have faith He knows best, even when hardship comes.

Communion is important for believers. But its also something we should not take lightly.

Where is your treasure? Do you look for it on earth? Or are you storing it up in heaven?

Job proclaims his integrity and slowly starts to realize that God is in control of everything no matter what. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Dont let someone or something distract you from living for Christ. There are people in this world that will try to draw you from God. Don't follow them.

As christians we are to press in, to pray, to endure, to stir up the gift of God with in us, and to be good soldiers for Christ.

Are you clean? That is a question we should all ask ourselves. As Christians it should also be our mission. To be in a constant state of keeping the bad out, and letting the good in.

Jobs friends had the best of intentions at first. But the more they tryed to help out of there own understanding, the more they made a mess.

For our fight is not against flesh and blood.We would do well to remember that and know what do to fight back.

Fathers are called to raise up there children in the fear of the Lord. To teach them the best we can in the ways of the Lord.

We all deal with pain, we will deal with loss. We are to help people in pain. Grief comes in many way. Learning how to help others in pain. To be there for others in there time of need.

When we look at things we only see the outside. We have to look deeper then that. We must look at what is in us to try to better ourselves for Christ.

If you love the Lord you will follow His commandments. If you love the Lord, show Him.

We are either going forward, going backward or standing still. We need to be mindful that we are always sewing some kind of seed in life. What seeds are you planting?

A lot of us have been or are bound right now. Bondage comes in many forms. But Jesus came to set the captives free!

Jesus is preparing a place for us. Have you ever thought about the mansion that is waiting for you in heaven. Where is it at? How does it look? Are you ready to see it?

Mother's who live godly lives in Christ allow the Word of God to flow through them. Sharing that wisdom and knowledge with her children.

Believers in Jesus will inherit His Everlasting kingdom. We are part of this world but not of this world. Many are called but few are chosen.

Without trust it's hard to deal with others. We must build our trust with one another. First build our trust in the Lord.

With gentleness and meekness we are to help others bear their burdens. When the weight of life begins to be to much for someone we should step in and help. Be willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary to lift the weight.

With joy, comes gladness. We should be glad to come to the house of the Lord. We should be glad it all we do. Other people should be able to the joy and gladness when they see us. Are you glad?

Jesus spoke a lot in parables. It's very important that we dig into the Word. Seek out what Jesus said and pray for the wisdom to understand.

We are called to live a supernatural life in Christ. To walk in the Spirit, to worship in Spirit and Truth. It's up to us to live that life honoring God.

God loves us so much? Do we love Him? If we did we would put Him first. If God is first in everything in our lives then everything else will work out for His good and His glory.

Are you discouraged or encouraged? Do you see the good God can do in the things around you or see the negative? Discouragement brings destruction, encouragement brings courage.

The Bible teaches us about life after death. We need to view God through the proper lens. Growing our faith knowing heaven is our home to come.

Where is the supernatural in the church, in Christians? We have the same Spirit Christ had, so why don't we see Him moving in our lives?

The is something that should happen to all Christians. That is becoming a new person in Christ. That we strive to know more about our Savior's. Building our faith and cleaning ourselves up to grow nearer to God.

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith. To know Jesus and for Him to know us. Having a relationship with Him. Living our life serving Him and serving others. Showing and sharing Christ with everyone we meet.

We are called to holiness. Just as God is Holy so should we strive to be. We need to look and what we think, what we say and what we do. Then ask "Do I honor the Lord?"

The word of God or the Bible is always the answer. It has the answer to any question we have. Sometimes the word is correction, we need to be able to except correction. To be able to see what it is we're doing wrong and with the help of the Lord change it. Wisdom and learning how to use it is key.
