CONNECT with Rodney Cundiff

In “He Will Return”, Rodney shares that Luke, a ministry partner with the Apostle Paul, painstakingly investigated the evidence about Jesus, and wanted to ensure there was a proper accounting of the life of Jesus, and subsequent events that could be passed on, that was trusted as a reliable source of truth. Luke briefly writes about an event known as, the Ascension of Jesus, which took place 40 da...

In “The Preponderance Of Evidence”, Rodney shares that The entire Christian faith rises or collapses on the resurrection of Jesus. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. Simply, if there is no resurrection – there is no promise of eternal life, all the promises of Jesus and God are empty, and Jesus would not be the Messiah. If fact, Jesus foretold how you can va...

In “It’s Okay, Come Back To God” Rodney shares that The people of Israel were looking for a military leader to drive their enemies away, and once again establish Israel's independence and a royal dynasty. Could Jesus be the Messiah? Jesus would free them and establish a kingdom. But, it would be unlike any other before or since. It is God’s Kingdom. The revolution would start with a death, not a m...

In “The Whole Armor Of God”, Rodney shares that that apostle Paul challenges Christians to put on the whole armor of God. When we fail to put on all the armor of God we leave ourselves vulnerable to spiritual injury, defeat, and death. God has fully equipped you for any and every task you are called to, or enemy you face. Whether you know it or not, you are in the middle of a raging war between go...

In, “Spirit-Guided Relationships” Rodney shares that the apostle Paul details how Spirit-filled Christians should relate to each other in the family of God. Many of us recoil from the word submit. We wish it weren’t in the Bible. It seems to go against human nature. Yet, without it life can devolve into chaos. Yet, mutual submission is a fundamental of Christian relationships. Submission seems to...

In “Be Filled With The Holy Spirit” Rodney shares followers of Jesus are instructed by the apostle Paul to be careful to look intentionally, and strictly examine their lives to avoid unwise behaviors that are detrimental to their spiritual walk, and influence with others. In fact, we are to make the most of every opportunity to share the light of Christ because the world is filled with all kinds o...

In “Imitators Of God”, Rodney shares that it has been said, “imitation is the sincerity form of flattery.” In light of all that God has done for us, we should be imitate God in how we live and practice our faith. As “Imitators of God”, believers should demonstrate that type of self-sacrificial love, holiness, and forgiveness we have witnessed and experienced in Christ. To imitate God means to live...

In “Living As Children Of The Light”, Rodney shares that in the fourth chapter of Ephesians, the apostle Paul contrasts the difference between how Gentiles, and Christ-followers should live. The life of a believer, in Christ, should be distinctly different than those living apart from Christ. Because the Unbelievers are not “in Christ” their minds are not in the process of transformation. Therefor...

In “Ephesians – Walk In Unity”, Rodney shares that Christians should lead lives worthy of their calling to walk in Christ and unity with one another. Our lives should be identified by the character traits of humility, gentleness, and patience. These were model by Christ for us as an example of how to live and behave. Everyone who is a part of the church should strive to protect and preserve unity....

In “A Prayer Of Reflection And Realization”, Rodney shares that when we think about the goodness of God, and every spiritual gift He provides, and the special responsibility we have in sharing the truths of God’s grace and the church.

In "We Are The Church", Rodney shares that it would do all believers well to never forget our faith journey. The apostle Paul contrasts our past nature, apart from Christ, with our present position in Christ Jesus. We formerly lived apart from Christ, and were excluded from the blessings of God, and without hope. But now, we are one in Christ. The work of Jesus has united both Jewish and Gentile b...

In "Saved By Grace, Seated With Christ", Rodney shares that the same Spirit that was working on and through Jesus Christ now makes us alive "in Christ". Without Jesus Christ we are spiritually dead and lost. That means we are utterly lifeless, powerless, helpless, and unable to change our condition or any other circumstances or environment. Living the Christian life is impossible without living "i...

In “A Prayer To Understand”, Rodney shares that the apostle Paul was thankful the Ephesians believers, and inspired to continue offering unceasing prayer for them.

In “Praise God For Every Spiritual Blessing”, Rodney shares that the apostle Paul writes in the letter of Ephesians about the position and practices of the Christian who is living in Christ.

The plan of salvation was...

In “FOCUS”, Rodney shares that a failure to FOCUS can derail you from reaching your goals. FOCUS brings clarity, and helps you eliminate non-essentials. FOCUS is essential to achieving ultimate success. If you are going to FOCUS on your goals you must commit to continually PRESS ON, even when faced with tough circumstances, or feel like giving up. A deep commitment to FOCUS will help you FORGET YO...

In “Savior”, Rodney shares that there is a great significance to the name of JESUS. Jesus is the centerpiece of the gospel message and Christmas story. According to historians, Jesus was a very common name among the Jewish people during first century Judea, at the time Jesus of the Bible lived. The meaning of the name Jesus is, “Yahweh saves” or “Yahweh is salvation”. The name Jesus was so common...

In “JESUS – Fully Man” Rodney shares that Jesus is the God-man who came to earth to die for our sins, and to reveal God to us. Jesus had two natures. He was 100% God, and 100% man at the same time. In part 1 of this sermon series we focused primarily on the deity of Jesus. This message we will examine the importance of Jesus’ humanity. The apostle John wrote, “So the Word became human and made his...

In “Refuge” Rodney shares that the believers’ life is defined by both triumph and struggle. Notice, I did not say defeat, but we do experience struggle, adversity, trials, and battles with opposing forces. Life is moments of celebration and joy, but it also can feel like a battlefield. At times we can feel like the battle is ours. At other times we can feel like we are being overrun. The psalmist...

In “Priority Seating” Rodney shares that God makes people who are experiencing some challenges, or crippled by life a priority. He still gives priority attention and seating to those who are hurting.

God has overlooked your condition, and your disabilities do not disqualify you from being restored, and having a new relation...

In “Praise Instead Of Despair”, Rodney shares that we all experience feelings of sadness from time to time, but when faced with hardships, our spirit of heaviness may deepen into depression, and darker places if we feel stuck in circumstances that are not likely to change anytime soon, if ever. But, let me encourage you, the season you are in is exactly that. It is a season. This season will pass....

In “Scared To Death” Rodney shares that when you allow fear to control your life instead of following God’s voice, it can lead to the death of dreams, relationships, and fulfilling God’s will for your life. When you are “scared to death” you make deadly decisions. The Israelites when they were prepared to enter Canaan and receive the promises of God, they halted and refused to believe God had fulf...

In “Living Stones”, Rodney shares the Jesus Christ is the chosen living Cornerstone from the foundation of the world, selected by God for great honor. Additionally, you and I were perfectly chosen and hewn to fit into the spiritual temple that God is building. Our lives and inclusion into the church are laid upon the foundation of Jesus Christ as spiritual sacrifices. Those who reject Jesus as Lor...
