Rock Springs Reboot: Our People Investment Strategy, part 2

May 5, 2021

Our going is about loving people with the love of Jesus.  Showing them there is alternative way of life that’s filled with kindness, grace, truth and love.  Becoming friends with people far from God so that one day we might introduce them to God.  Our going may take months or even years.  But the timetable is not up to us.  We are just simply called to live as a sent one, and trust God to do the rest. 

Values: Every Person Blesses

March 11, 2021

God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them.  That’s what God’s grace does!  When God’s grace takes hold in your heart, it makes you a gracious person.  Giving becomes second nature.  You want to give.  You want to help because God has helped you!

An Unexpected Christmas

December 20, 2020

If a Savior was born for these shepherds, then anyone who has no hope, can how have hope with Jesus.  For the good news is that this Savior was born for ANYONE who needs a Savior.  It doesn’t matter if you’ve never darkened a church door.  It doesn’t matter if you’ve spent all your life far from God.  It doesn’t matter how worthless you feel or how sinful you’ve been. God’s message of good news is for YOU, personally. 

Five Things God Wants to Tell You

March 29, 2020

This is what our Father wants you to know.  Just as God promised to be with Joshua, He will be with you.  In this age of social distancing, God is near.  He doesn’t change. He is always there.  He is always seeking your best.  He is always pursuing you with His love.  “I will be with you wherever you go”  I will be with you when things look bleak.  I’ll be with you when you feel weak.  “So be strong in me.  Get your courage from me.  For I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will be with you wherever you go.”

Be The Church: Be a Gracious Church

January 15, 2020

GRACE… God gave us His grace so we would be dispensers of grace in a world desperately in need of grace.  God gave us grace so we might rise up and impart words of blessing to those who are expecting curses.  God gave us grace so we might celebrate life rather than tear down life.  God gave us grace so we might give grace to others in their time of need.  And God gave us grace so we might include those that our world rejects.

Rooted In Christ, Part Two

March 26, 2019

You are now free from the fear of judgment.  You are now free from having to live up to a perfect standard gain God’s approval.  And you are now free from guilt.  For now whenever you do sin, you have an advocate before the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous one, who paid for your sin and declares you righteous.  That’s God’s grace to you in Christ Jesus, and its what makes your relationship with God absolutely secure!

Love Does: Becoming Love

February 26, 2019

What Paul is praying for here is transformation.  That we would be changed by the love of Christ ourselves. That the more we experience Christ’s love in our own lives, the more we will be filled with the love of Christ.  And when we are filled with the love of Christ, we become love.  That’s the goal: that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  For God is love!

The Only Thing That Counts

February 7, 2019

There is no greater joy than to help someone become a follower of Jesus Christ – to see their eyes opened by the truth, to see the weight of sin removed, to see the joy of God’s peace enter their hearts. I got to experience that joy this week. I had the privilege of sharing the good news of Jesus with someone this week who is no longer lost. He’s been found by Jesus and included in His family.
