Rock Springs Family Values: Mutual Inclusivity

September 26, 2017

Our love must be sincere. It must be genuine, real. Our deepest need is to receive real love, not token love. That’s why God put us together in His body. That’s why we need each other. The world will not love this way. The world only loves to get something in return. But God’s love is not like that. God loves with no strings attached. He loves us when we are not lovable. He loves us when we are rebellious. He loves us when we are at our worst. And that takes real love. So God’s Word tells us to not fake love – but to take off our masks and be real with one another. For when we give real love, that’s when others will see Jesus in us.

The Story of God: Family Reunion

August 20, 2017

God who formed your heart, wants to be reunited with you. The Father wants you to know Him. The Father wants you to be with Him in an eternal relationship. Your relationship with Him is the number one thing on His heart. Like Joseph, we were lost and He’s done everything in His power to bring you home to Him. That’s why He sent Jesus. This is the gospel in a nut shell: For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. 1 Peter 3:18 Nothing heals a broken heart more than being reunited with the one you love.

The Hero of Our Story: The Resurrection

April 19, 2017

Meeting the resurrected Jesus will change you. It will give you joy, like Mary and the disciples, it will move you to love like that first community of followers. And it might just change the direction of your life, like it did to the Apostle Paul.

Our Place In His Story: The Movement Begins Next Door

October 17, 2016

We’re not a building that’s helping people, we’re not programs that are helping people, and we’re not one person who is helping people, but we are people helping people become friends, family and followers of Jesus. We are a church about Jesus, a group of ordinary people who God has recruited to be His grace peddlers in a world without grace.

SERVE: Unwrapping Spiritual Gifts

February 2, 2016

God put us together in His body so that every one of us is necessary. You need my gift and I need yours. No one has all the gifts. There is no such thing as a super-Christian. God in His wisdom has created a new kind of community where the least serves the strongest, and the strongest serves the least. So the point is this: To discover your gift, you just need to start serving God’s people.
