Pastor Josh shares a word about the blood of Jesus. It is all we have, and it addresses our guilt, shame, and fear.
The shift from summer's slower pace into the back-to-school rush, juggling schedules and bills, health concerns, strained relationships, or even wondering if your job is safe as technology rapidly changes … life can be stressful! Add just five minutes of the news or social media, and the pressure only grows. Stress is real, but what is it exactly? Where does it come from, how does it affect us, and most importantly, how do we deal with it? Pastor Josh shares how the truth of God's Word can help us stress less in a stressed-out world. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live
Sometimes the wilderness feels like the most unsafe place of all—fear, loneliness, exhaustion, and despair pressing in from every side. That's exactly where Elijah found himself in 1 Kings 19. He ran from Jezebel, sat down under a broom tree, and cried out, “I've had enough, Lord. I'm no better than my ancestors.”But God met Elijah right there—in the wilderness. Not with condemnation, but with presence, provision, and purpose. He sent His angel to touch Elijah, gave him bread and water for the journey, and spoke not in the fire or earthquake, but in a gentle whisper.In this message, Pastor Josh shows how God keeps us SAFE in the Wilderness. Just as He provided manna for Israel, strength for Elijah, and the Bread of Life through Jesus, He provides what we truly need: Himself.
Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 2:14-19.2nd Timothy 2:14-19 Study Questions 1) What are some examples of “quarreling about words” as seen in verse 14? What are some ways we can keep ourselves from falling into this practice? How does the local church play into this? 2) Paul instructs Timothy to present himself as a worker that is approved by God? In what ways do we have a responsibility to present ourselves in the same way? 3) In verse 17, Paul specifically calls out Hymenaeus and Philetus for the damage they have caused the Church. How would you respond to someone that says we shouldn't call out false teachers in our day and age? 4) What is the relationship between God's sovereignty in salvation and man's responsibility to live according to God's Will? How does God “knowing who are His” give you confidence in your spiritual walk?

At Church on the Rock, we've been praying Psalm 143:10: “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.” As part of our discipleship journey, The MOVE, we believe following God's will means defending and uplifting “the least of these.” Poverty's deepest wound isn't hunger, it's hopelessness. But through local churches, Compassion International is releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name by meeting physical needs and introducing them to the gospel. This message isn't about charity — it's about discipleship. We learn how each of us can provide food, clean water, education, and medical care, while also building a real relationship with a child through letters and updates. More than that, you get to speak hope and value into their life and fulfill 1 John 3:18: “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” We can't rescue every child, but each of us can rescue one. And for that one child, it changes everything, for now and for eternity. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today? Fill out our digital connection card: https://churchontherock.net/connect-card
