What does real freedom actually look like? In this message from Romans 15–16, Pastor Dean challenges the idea that freedom means doing whatever we want. Instead, he explores how Jesus sets us free from sin, fear, and self-centered living so we can experience the life God intended. Tracing the story of Scripture from creation to Christ, Dean highlights the gospel's power to transform lives, unite people across differences, and invite us into God's ongoing mission of restoring the world. Discover why true freedom isn't just freedom from something—it's freedom for something greater.

In this message from Daniel 9, Pastor Dean walks through one of the most debated passages in Scripture: Daniel's seventy weeks. As Daniel prays for repentance and restoration, Gabriel reveals a prophetic timeline that ultimately points us to Jesus, the new covenant, and the finished work of the cross.This teaching explores Daniel's prayer, the exile in Babylon, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the end of the sacrificial system, and why everything in Scripture points to Jesus. Pastor Dean also challenges us to let the Bible shape our understanding of culture, politics, suffering, and the end times, not movies, social media, or popular opinion.Whether you have studied Daniel for years or are hearing this passage for the first time, this message will encourage you to read God's Word carefully, trust what it says, and live in obedience to Jesus.

What does it look like to live faithfully in a chaotic world?In this message, we walk through Daniel 6 and 7, covering the story of Daniel in the lion's den and the vision that reveals God's plan for the future.Daniel was not a young man when he faced the lions. He was older and still faithful. Even under pressure, he refused to hide his relationship with God. His life shows us that faith is not meant to be private. It is meant to be lived out where others can see it.We also explore Daniel's vision in chapter 7, where kingdoms rise and fall, but one truth remains clear. God is still on the throne, His kingdom will never end, and everything points to Jesus.Key Takeaways:- Faithfulness matters- Your witness impacts others- God is in control even when the world feels chaotic- Following Jesus involves pressure, not comfort- Jesus is King and His kingdom will not be destroyedIf this message challenged or encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs it.If you are new, we would love to connect with you.

What happens when you know the truth but choose to ignore it?In this message from Daniel 5, we walk through the story of King Belshazzar and the moment known as the handwriting on the wall. This is not just history. It is a warning about pride, about treating what is holy as common, and about what happens when we reject what we already know is true.Belshazzar had seen what God did in the life of Nebuchadnezzar. He knew the truth. Instead of humbling himself, he chose pride, and it cost him everything.This message challenges us to ask a direct question. Are we living like Daniel or like Belshazzar?In this message, you will learn:- Why knowing God is not the same as following God- The danger of pride and informed rebellion- What it means to treat holy things with honor- How God's patience works and where the limit is- How this story applies to our lives todayGod's Word always comes to pass. The question is how you will respond.

What does the Bible teach about the blackouts of the heavens? Listen to this message on the end times when the sun is darkened and blood dims the moon. Hear the details and when the controversy that accompanies when they occur in the Tribulation, probably part of the campaign of Armageddon. Find out about the army of “locusts” and what comes after that. See that fire is used throughout Scripture as a symbol of destruction. At the end of Pastor Dean's message listen to Pastor Rui, a missionary from Brazil and part of Artios Brazil, and the work going on there that is supported by West Houston Bible Church.

The world is constantly trying to shape your identity. The question is, who are you becoming?In Daniel 1 and 2, we see how Daniel and his friends were taken into Babylon and pressured to conform to a completely different culture. Everything about them was meant to change, but Daniel made a decision to stay faithful to God no matter the cost.Because of that faithfulness in the small things, God gave him influence in the big things.This message will challenge you to stand firm in your faith, live differently from the world around you, and trust that God honors those who remain faithful.

Judas walked with Jesus, saw the miracles, heard every teaching, and still missed Him.In this message, we dive into Acts 1 and the ascension of Jesus to understand why it matters for us today. The ascension was not just Jesus leaving. It was the moment He gave us power through the Holy Spirit, a purpose to live on mission, and a promise that He is coming back.But there is a tension we cannot ignore. Judas looked like a disciple, lived like a disciple, and was trusted by everyone, yet he was never truly changed.This message challenges us to ask:Is my faith real or just routine?Have I truly surrendered my life to Jesus?Am I following Him or just around Him?This is not about religion. It is about transformation. Don't miss what Judas missed.

In this message, we take a clear look at what it really means to follow Jesus.In a culture where faith is often reduced to a moment or a decision, Jesus gives a much deeper call—to live as a disciple. Walking through 1 Corinthians 15 and Matthew 28, this message unpacks the reality of the resurrection and the responsibility that comes with it.We'll explore:Why the resurrection mattersWhat the Great Commission actually meansThe difference between believing in Jesus and following HimWhat a true disciple looks like in everyday lifeJesus didn't just save us—He calls us to follow Him fully and to help others do the same.

Have you ever felt like your past disqualifies you from what God has for your future?In this message, we walk through the powerful story of Peter, one of Jesus' closest disciples, who denied Him three times and yet was fully restored, called, and used by God in a mighty way.Many people live stuck in guilt and shame, believing their mistakes define them. But what if that is not how Jesus sees you at all?Through Luke 22 and John 21, we uncover:Why Jesus looked at Peter after his failureThe difference between guilt and shameHow Jesus restores us without condemning usWhy your failure is not your identityHow to step out of shame and into your callingThis message is a reminder that you are not disqualified. You are called.If you have been hiding, holding onto regret, or believing lies about who you are, it is time to get out of the boat and run back to Jesus.

Why do we spend so much time judging other Christians over things God never commanded?In Romans 14, the Apostle Paul speaks directly to a problem that still exists in the church today — believers acting like they're the master instead of Jesus. We argue over opinions, preferences, traditions, and personal freedoms, while missing what it actually means to live as slaves of righteousness.In this message, Pastor Dean challenges us to stop playing God in other people's lives and start focusing on obedience, humility, and love. This isn't about ignoring sin — it's about recognizing the difference between God's commands and our opinions.If Jesus is truly your Master, then judgment isn't your job.

Are you ready to get on the rocket or will you watch from the sidelines?In this powerful message, Pastor Dean unpacks what a godly, biblical leadership transition looks like not marked by conflict or division, but by unity, faith, and forward momentum.

This message is both a call to honor the legacy of the past and an invitation to courageously pursue the new things God is doing as the church prepares for Launch Day 2026.Key TakeawaysGodly transitions require breaking barriers, not clinging to comfort or familiarity.New seasons demand new rhythms, new methods, and fresh faith.Faith often requires movement before the miracle is visible.Worship and obedience pave the way for breakthrough and victory.Scripture ReferencesNumbers 14Joshua 3–5Joshua 3:5Ephesians 3:20Join us every Sunday online or in-person at 9:00am & 11:00am. 4005 Lee Vance Vw, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 Website: rockfamilychurch.com Connect Card: https://rfc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/528074 Prayer Requests: https://www.rockfamilychurch.com/prayer-request Start Serving: https://rfc.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/category/92573 Join a Small Group: https://rfc.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3287086 Facebook: facebook.com/rockfamilychurch Instagram: instagram.com/rockfamilychurch Tik Tok: tiktok.com/@rockfamilychurch Youtube: youtube.com/@RockFamilyOnline#ColoradoSpringsChurch #Faith #Jesus #Worship #ChurchOnline #SundayMessage

Your words matter more than you think. In this message, we're reminded that the Bible isn't just something we read — it's our playbook. And when we start calling our own plays, it doesn't just affect us… it affects the whole team.Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 12 that what comes out of our mouth comes from our heart. So if our words look more like the world than the Kingdom, it's time to stop, repent, and realign.This message calls us to stop making excuses, stop quenching the Spirit, and start living as slaves of righteousness — using our words to build others up and advance the Kingdom of God.
