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. 

Rock Springs Reboot: The Unsearchable Riches of Jesus

May 12, 2021

Jesus has come to give you rest.  Rest from having to prove yourself to God.  Rest from having to measure up to some religious standards you cannot keep.  Rest from your weariness and rest from your burdens.  Rest for your soul.  And the reason Jesus is rest is found in the description he gives of Himself.  He says, Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Matthew: Blessed are the Peacemakers

January 12, 2021

Never forget, you already know the God of peace who has given you the peace of Christ.  So let us refuse to let the chaos and confusion of our day steal your peace.  But let the God of peace reign in our hearts and make us peacemakers like Him.  For our world needs God’s peace, but it also needs peacemakers, who know the Prince of Peace.

Finding Peace In the Midst of Turmoil

March 18, 2020

Our God provides protection for our hearts and minds in the midst of the turmoil around us.  He waits to give us His peace, and He gives it in abundance when we come to Him in prayer. So then, prayer is not always about getting what you want, it’s about God giving you what you need.  Prayer is not always about getting out of the difficulties surrounding you, but is about bringing God into your difficulties – it’s about God giving you His peace.

James: Peace That Works

October 9, 2019

Spiritual adultery is a poison in the church.  Putting your interests ahead of God’s and treating God like a vending machine is the same as being God’s enemy.  Imagine, if that’s how your child treated you: If your son or daughter only came to you for what they could get from you?  How would that make you feel?  How does it make you feel when someone befriends you so they can get something from you?  It’s manipulating, insulting, it’s demeaning, and ungodly.

The Life: Jesus Makes Us Right

April 10, 2018

When you believe that God’s grace can cover any sin, then you can be truly free.  For there is no sin you have committed that is more powerful than God’s grace.  Here’s the reality: If there is no sin a person commits before salvation too great for Jesus’ death to cover, then there is no sin you commit after salvation that is too great for God to cover.  And Jesus made this possible.  Jesus made you right with God and keeps you right with God by grace – so you can find grace whenever you need it!

The Hero of Our Story: Grace and More Grace

January 31, 2017

That’s the good news of God’s mercy. Out of the abundance of God’s blessing comes the gift of God’s mercy to us in Jesus. He delivers us from the consequences of our sin. He takes away our guilt and shame. He makes us righteous and gives us a new life. That’s the gospel.

Easter Sunday: Meeting The Risen Jesus

This is why everything changes when you meet the risen Jesus. Because when you meet Him and believe in Him, He changes you forever. He breathes His new life into you. He gives you His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. His Holy Spirit comes to indwell in you, to guide you, help you, and empower you to live as His sent one. And this changes everything. For when the Spirit of Christ lives in you, He will help you begin to live like Jesus.
