Rock Springs Reboot: Be Different

August 1, 2021

The Christian is not to be characterized as someone who takes, but as someone who gives.  After all, “God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him might not perish, but have eternal life!”  Giving to help others is what makes us like God.  God is a good and generous God.  He gave His best for us.  So the point here is not so much as to be useful, but to be useful for the sake of others – to give to help others in need. 

The Gospel: How The Gospel Changes Our Lifestyle

October 5, 2020

Many times God puts difficult people in our lives – not to test our patience – but so we can shine the spotlight of God’s grace in their lives.  Remember, Jesus says, “You are the light of the world.”  And the way you shine your light is by peddling grace to people who need grace! Because that’s what God did for you, when He saved you.

Matthew: When God Has Other Plans

March 5, 2020

Joseph had no idea that God would turn his life upside down and have him live as a refugee in Egypt.  But God used the evil of Herod for good.   So the next time something ruins your plans, don’t immediately see it as a bad thing.  God may be changing your plans to protect you because He has something better for you. 

James: Religion That Works

September 3, 2019

That’s the point God’s Word is making about a religion that works. Every person struggling to survive are human beings made in His image and likeness, and therefore they are worth more than a meal from a dumpster.  They need help.  And James says, if your religion is real, you will give them the help they need.  You will “look after” those in distress.

Rooted in the Word, Part 3

May 27, 2019

I don’t know of anything more discouraging than life without hope.  And God’s Word gives us hope in spades!  Hope to change.  Hope that no matter what chaos is swirling around us, God is in control.  Hope for help in whatever we are facing.  Hope for encouragement when our souls are downcast.  Hope for forgiveness when we blow it.  Hope in the truth that God will never let you go. Hope in the face of suffering and death. And hope for the day when we see Jesus face to face.  God’s Word can give you hope.

Love Does: Love Acts The Gentleman

January 15, 2019

Can you imagine that if every time you made a mistake, you had a Christian get in your face and tell you how badly you blew it?  The sad reality is that there are many people who never darken a church door today because they were hurt by the very people who should have understood them and loved them.  Love acts the gentleman by being understanding of people.

The Story of God: Deep Darkness

September 11, 2018

Is there something you are holding back from God?  Is there a sin you’re treasuring, that you won’t let go?  Is there a resentment you’re harboring?  Is there an ungodly habit that you’re not giving to God?  Jesus rescued you from the dominion of darkness, but is there a part of you still walking in darkness?  God doesn’t want just part of you.  God wants all of you.  He wants you to escape the darkness.
