Preaching Series October-November 2025 “Spiritual Gifts: My Role & Responsibility in the Church” cflTds a/bfg M Df08nLdf d]/f] e'dLsf / lhDd]jf/L  As mentioned earlier, we were hoping to do a series on Values of NRC? Cross-Way. However, I feel convicted these days about something closer to the believer's lives, need of this season of the church's life. I am feeling (and asked) that a series on Spiritual Gifts is more urgent to encourage believer's to take active part/responsibility of their faith and in the church. (Values would have been another “abstract” ideas, great ideals that would seem a step removed from personal lives, which we will do some day)  Next few weeks will focus on NRC Churches, considering the programs going on like Youth Conference, NRC National Conference, and Pastoral Formation, we will have guest speaker lined up for Oct 25th.  (We can also ask one NRC pastor to preach one Saturday if possible.)  Spiritual Gifts are special gifts given to each and every believer. It is God's grace. He gives as he determines (not our wishes). It is gifts of the Spirit (not simply physical talents) freely given to each and every believer to serve for the edification of his church. (see texts below). Spiritual Gifts, by name is given by the Holy Spirit. He works according to his character for his own mission in his style and rhythm, sometimes in mysterious ways. We know Him, and his desires revealed to us in His Word.  Spiritual gifts require us to be obedient to God's character, our calling and giftings. We have talents, way our lives are wired, network of relationships we live in, our placements (locations) and opportunities. With life's possibilities we are able to learn, live, know, earn, spend, enjoy everything given in this life can be used in tandem with my Spiritual Gifts, purpose is always the same – to Love God (bring him honor and glory) and to love our neighbor (to watch them grow bear fruit and flourish to their potential God has made them with their set of Spiritual Gifts). That's how God's Kingdom expands, and His glory fills the earth.  This is also our Thanksgiving (20th Anniversary) series. The focus is on each member are especially wired and gifted with their skills and talents to build the Body of Christ. We must  and culture towards the church. As a body of Christ, each of us are vital organs, 1 Corinthians 12, which is the foundations of understanding about the Spiritual Gifts, and then 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 complete the discussions on Spiritual Gifts. So we will focus this series on Everybody's peculiar role and responsibility in building the body of Christ, as we are gifted, not necessarily as we wish or want.

From 8 years of services in a high school to finally launching a new permanent location—the Plymouth campus is finally here! Don and John sit down with the Plymouth campus pastor, Mike Emmert, and worship pastor Chris Mason to tell the story behind it all. They talk through the challenge and setbacks, the small wins that kept them going, and the moments that make it all worth it.

Sermon Summary: God & Caesar Mark 12:13–17 “Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words…” Jesus said to them, ‘Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.' And they were amazed at him.” – Mark 12:13–17 Introduction: When Our Allegiance Shifts Coleton began by connecting the ancient tension of Jesus' words to a very modern moment. He recalled the tragic event of September 10, 2025, when Charlie Kirk, a political activist, was shot and killed. What followed, Coleton said, was not just mourning, but division. Some celebrated, others grieved, and soon churches became battlefields of political expectation. In some congregations, people even walked out of worship services because their pastor didn't mention Charlie Kirk by name. Coleton made this sobering observation: “They didn't leave because Jesus wasn't worshiped. They didn't leave because the gospel wasn't preached. They left because another man's name wasn't mentioned.” And in doing so, Coleton said, “They rendered unto Caesar that which was God's.” They gave their allegiance — something meant for God alone — to another. We live in a time where the church wrestles to understand and live obediently to what Jesus says in this passage. Coleton gave background, teaching from Jesus, and challenges we face in obeying Jesus. 1. The Background: A Trap Disguised as a Question Coleton explained that this was no innocent question. The Pharisees and Herodians were political enemies — the Pharisees hated Roman control; the Herodians supported it. But they joined forces to trap Jesus. They asked, “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar?” If Jesus said yes, He'd lose favor with His Jewish followers. If He said no, He'd be accused of rebellion against Rome. Either way, they thought they had Him. The Tax and Its Offense Coleton quoted historian Mark Strauss to give context: “The coin bore the image of Tiberius Caesar with the words ‘Son of the divine Augustus.' This was idolatry — a direct violation of the first and second commandments.” For Jews, paying this tax wasn't just about money — it was about worship. Would they honor God or bow to Caesar? Coleton summarized it like this: “The Pharisees and Herodians are forcing Jesus to pick a side. But Jesus refuses their categories — and instead shows that His kingdom transcends them.” 2. What We Learn from Jesus' Answer When Jesus said, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's,” He wasn't being clever — He was being clear. Coleton said Jesus' words teach two essential truths. A. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar's” — Obedience without Idolatry Jesus acknowledges the legitimacy of human governments. Coleton quoted Mark Strauss again: “Jesus affirmed that Caesar has a legitimate claim, and so does God. Civil obedience does not contradict the obedience due to God — so long as God's rights are safeguarded.” That means we can pay taxes, show respect, obey laws, and honor leaders — as long as it doesn't lead us into disobedience to God. Coleton drew from Romans 13:1–7, where Paul commands believers to be subject to governing authorities because “there is no authority except that which God has established.” He reminded listeners: “You're not obeying Caesar because he deserves it — you're obeying God because He commands it.” The Egyptian Church Story Coleton shared a story from Pete Greig about the persecuted Coptic Christians in Egypt. When their churches were closed for nine years, they didn't riot. Instead, they turned every home into a church. When the ruler later walked the streets, he heard worship from every house and lifted the ban. “They gave Caesar the building, but they gave God their hearts,” Coleton said. “They rendered to Caesar what was Caesar's — but they never stopped giving to God what was God's.” That, he said, is true obedience: submission that never compromises worship. B. “Give to God what is God's” — Full Allegiance and Love “God gets the first and the most,” Coleton said. “Our heart, our mind, our strength, our time, our devotion — He gets it all first.” He reminded the church that even when rulers oppose God's ways, our loyalty remains fixed on Him. The early Christians refused to call Caesar “Lord,” even if it cost them their lives. Coleton quoted Bruce Shelley: “Had the Christians been willing to burn that pinch of incense and say ‘Caesar is Lord,' they could have worshiped Jesus freely. But they would not compromise.” “They would not render to Caesar what belonged to God,” Coleton emphasized. “Even if it cost them everything.” 3. The Challenge: When We Mix These Up Coleton said this is the heart of the problem today — we mix up what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God. A. When We Don't Like Caesar When we dislike our leaders, we justify disobedience. We dishonor, refuse to pray, or speak with contempt — forgetting that Scripture commands us to pray for all in authority. “Paul told Timothy to pray and give thanks for kings — and he wrote that while Nero was emperor, lighting Christians on fire for dinner parties,” Coleton said. 1 Timothy 2:1–4: “Pray for kings and all those in authority… This pleases God our Savior.” We don't do this because leaders deserve it. “We do it because God deserves our obedience,” Coleton said. “We render to Caesar out of allegiance to God.” B. When We Like Caesar Too Much But Coleton warned that a greater danger is when we like Caesar too much. When we admire a political figure or government so deeply that we defend them even when they oppose God's Word. “We give Caesar what belongs to God,” he said. “And it looks spiritual because we think we're defending good values — but our loyalty has shifted.” Coleton gave examples: Evangelism: When we share more about politics than about Jesus. Loyalty: When we defend a politician more fiercely than we defend Christ. Apologetics: When we can argue politics better than we can explain the gospel. Time and Attention: When we consume more news than Scripture. Discipleship: When parents disciple kids politically, not spiritually. Identity: When we look more American than Christian. Faith and Hope: When we trust a government more than God's kingdom. “When that happens,” Coleton said, “We stop being Christians who live in America and become Americans who call themselves Christian.” 4. Implications: You Won't Fit Neatly Anywhere Coleton said if you truly follow Jesus, you won't fit perfectly in any political party. “Jesus didn't fit neatly with the conservatives or the liberals,” he said. “So neither will His followers.” He pointed out that the Pharisees (religious conservatives) and the Herodians (political progressives) both opposed Jesus — a sign that His kingdom doesn't conform to human categories. He quoted Rich Villodas: “If you are completely comfortable in any earthly political party, it's because you don't know who you are as a citizen in the Kingdom of Heaven.” And Tim Keller, who wrote: “Neither party embodies the full breadth of biblical ethics. Conservatives emphasize personal morality, liberals emphasize social justice — but the Bible calls for both. So Christians should not idolize one party or demonize the other.” Coleton summarized: “Our ultimate allegiance isn't to the right or the left — but to Jesus, and His kingdom alone.” 5. The Call: Give God What Is His Coleton closed with a reflective invitation. He asked listeners to pray and consider: Do you struggle to obey or respect leaders you dislike? Have you given more allegiance to political identity than to Jesus? Have you rendered unto Caesar what belongs to God — your hope, attention, loyalty, or love? He encouraged repentance — to re-center allegiance on God alone. Discussion Questions Why do you think Jesus refused to side with either the Pharisees or Herodians? What does that reveal about His kingdom? In what ways might modern Christians “render to Caesar what belongs to God”? What does healthy submission to governing authorities look like for believers today (Romans 13:1–7; 1 Timothy 2:1–4)? Where in your own life are you tempted to give more attention, hope, or loyalty to politics than to Jesus? How can our church model a better way — giving God our full allegiance while honoring human authorities appropriately?

“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. 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.

Love God. Love People.

How many of us measure our relationship with God by how well we're loving Him, how often we pray, how much we read our Bible, or how obedient we've been this week? But what if our love for God was never meant to be the focus? In this episode, we talk about the freedom that comes when we shift our gaze from our love for God to His love for us, and how that simple change transforms obedience from duty into delight. Let's get into it. Connect With The Few! Follow us and join the conversation:

Today is day 304 and we are studying The Fifth Commandment. 304. How else do you love God in light of the fifth commandment? I also keep the fifth commandment by showing respect for teachers and elders; by obeying, as far as is lawful, those who hold authority in the Church, my employment, and civil government; and by conducting myself in all things with reverent humility before God and my neighbor. (Exodus 22:28; Matthew 22:15–22; Romans 13:1–7; 1 Timothy 2:1–2; 5:1–4; Hebrews 13:7; 1 Peter 2:13–15; Articles of Religion, 37) We will conclude today by praying the Teth Stanza of Psalm 119 (verses 65-72) found on page 432 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In this powerful episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich exposes one of the most dangerous battles facing men today, the hidden war between faith and pornography.   If you're a Christian man who's prayed, “God, please help me stop,” but still find yourself trapped in the same cycle of shame and relapse, this episode will give you the truth you've been missing.   Frank breaks down the five root reasons so many Christian men stay stuck in porn addiction, from guilt and confusion around sexuality, to isolation, self-reliance, and the lack of real purpose and reveals the practical and spiritual tools to finally break free.   This isn't just about quitting a bad habit. This is about reclaiming your identity, your integrity, and your calling as a man of God.   Key Takeaways: This isn't just a bad habit — it's spiritual warfare.   Over 70% of Christian men struggle with pornography.   Shame and secrecy are the fuel that keep addiction alive.   You cannot heal what you hide.   Sex is sacred, not sinful — learn to honor, not suppress, desire.   Isolation breeds addiction; brotherhood builds freedom.   Willpower alone will fail — transformation comes through grace, structure, and surrender.   A man without vision will always settle for distraction.   Freedom requires both truth and a tribe.   You were created to lead, not live in shame.   Connect & Take Action Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood for a free 7-day trial and get access to live coaching, accountability, and the tools to finally break free.   ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

(Values would have been another “abstract” ideas, great ideals that would seem a step removed from personal lives, which we will do some day)  Next few weeks will focus on NRC Churches, considering the programs going on like Youth Conference, NRC National Conference, and Pastoral Formation, we will have guest speaker lined up for Oct 25th.  (We can also ask one NRC pastor to preach one Saturday if possible.)  Spiritual Gifts are special gifts given to each and every believer. It is God's grace. He gives as he determines (not our wishes). It is gifts of the Spirit (not simply physical talents) freely given to each and every believer to serve for the edification of his church. (see texts below). Spiritual Gifts, by name is given by the Holy Spirit. He works according to his character for his own mission in his style and rhythm, sometimes in mysterious ways. We know Him, and his desires revealed to us in His Word.  Spiritual gifts require us to be obedient to God's character, our calling and giftings. We have talents, way our lives are wired, network of relationships we live in, our placements (locations) and opportunities. With life's possibilities we are able to learn, live, know, earn, spend, enjoy everything given in this life can be used in tandem with my Spiritual Gifts, purpose is always the same – to Love God (bring him honor and glory) and to love our neighbor (to watch them grow bear fruit and flourish to their potential God has made them with their set of Spiritual Gifts). That's how God's Kingdom expands, and His glory fills the earth.  This is also our Thanksgiving (20th Anniversary) series. The focus is on each member are especially wired and gifted with their skills and talents to build the Body of Christ. We must  and culture towards the church. As a body of Christ, each of us are vital organs, 1 Corinthians 12, which is the foundations of understanding about the Spiritual Gifts, and then 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 complete the discussions on Spiritual Gifts. So we will focus this series on Everybody's peculiar role and responsibility in building the body of Christ, as we are gifted, not necessarily as we wish or want.

It is Reformation Sunday and also week 5 of our series, How to Bless Your Neighbor. Our mission is to Love God, Love Others, with No Limits, and we do that by being a blessing to the people God has put in our lives. This week, we dive into the first 'S' in our B.L.E.S.S. acronym: Serve. We are going to offer a challenge for us all to embrace a radical paradigm shift—a move from a crown to an apron—just as Jesus demonstrated when he washed his disciples' feet. Jesus, the King of Kings, lowered himself to the lowest act of service, teaching us that to be great, we must first serve. This isn't just about kind gestures; it's about a total shift in how we approach our spouse, co-workers, and community. We also take a moment to discuss the vital regional ministry of Heartfelt Radio and the power of supporting Christian outreach beyond our local walls. Are you ready to stop hoping people find their way back to God and start helping? Discover the revolutionary power of service! Worship Notes on YouVersion http://bible.com/events/49511719

Welcome back to The Good Life, our teaching series on the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount has 3 main sections. The center of this multi-layered structure is The Lord's Prayer–which follows the two greatest commandments—Love God and Love your neighbor. This is the prayer of a revolution. When we pray The Lord's Prayer, we're dethroning ourselves as king of our lives, and we're enthroning Jesus as our new King. Our God-mission is not to go to Heaven but to bring Heaven down to Earth. To expand the boundaries of His Kingdom in this world. Christianity isn't the Great Escape–but the Great Expansion. Talk 7 explores The Lord's Prayer line by line, and we'll see how revolutionary this prayer is. The key message of Talk 7 is: Expand God's Territory.

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. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

Anytime you want to do something without anyone of substance knowing about it—without wise, godly voices speaking into it—it's time to pause and re-evaluate your direction. True success in life, relationships, and faith begins with accountability. In this message, Pastor John teaches that enlisting accountability isn't weakness—it's strength. It's what smart, humble, and spiritually mature people do when they want to live in God's truth and love. Through the story of Martha and Mary, the example of Ananias and Sapphira, and powerful lessons from Ephesians and James, you'll see how accountability keeps your life anchored in true love. Because at the end of the day, all of life comes down to one thing: Love God. Love people. Key Themes: Why people who want to succeed ask for help before they fail How accountability protects you from pain and poor choices The difference between living distracted and living with purpose What Martha learned from Jesus about choosing “the good part” How real love is patient, kind, humble, and enduring

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 22:34-46: When Jesus was asked what mattered most—His answer was stunningly simple: Love God. Love people. In a world of endless debates and distractions, Jesus brings us back to the heart of true faith: wholehearted love that integrates every part of who we are.This week, we'll explore what it really means to love God with all our heart, soul and mind—and to love our neighbours as ourselves. How do we live out that love in a world that often rewards division and self-interest? What does Jesus' question about the Messiah reveal about who He truly is and the kind of love He calls us to embody?Join us at 9am or 11am as we rediscover that the greatest command is not a rule to follow, but a relationship to live—rooted in the One who loved us first. Bring a friend!

Today is day 289 and we are studying The Third Commandment. 289. How can you honor and love God's Name? I honor and love God's Name, in which I was baptized, by keeping my vows and promises, by worshiping him in truth and holiness, and by invoking his Name reverently and responsibly. (Numbers 30:2; Deuteronomy 10:20–22; Psalm 105:1–5; Matthew 15:10–20; James 5:12) We will conclude today by praying The Initial Address for the Renewal of Baptismal Vows found on page 194 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
