God's Word with Pastor Tom Smith

We all thirsty for something. The truth is revealed that only Jesus can truly satisfy our need. Through Jesus, we are redeemed to God which meets our ultimate need. John 7:37 -52.

Knowledge is essential. But having right knowledge, truth, is what’s important. But even some truths are more important than others. As we study John 7:25-36, we hear from Jesus what truths we must know because they will lead us to Him.

Why do you do what you do? Jesus provided the example of how we are to walk in our daily lives in everything we do and say. John 7:1-24 is our text as we resume our study of the Gospel of John.

We look back at the history of Rockin' M to see God's faithfulness to move us forward with hope, confidence, and trust in God.

God is love. His love was most demonstrated in sending his Son to earth. Jesus brought love to this world and commanded and exemplified how we are to love one another in order to make this The Best Christmas Ever.

The Christian life is one marked by joy. But even Christians can sometimes have a lack of joy in their life. As we look at how we can make this the best Christmas ever, we will look at the unending and profound joy that Jesus brought with him and how we can pursue that joy in our lives.

Jesus came to bring peace to Earth. But with so much conflict surrounding us, just what kind of peace did Jesus bring? We answer that question and show why Jesus' peace is needed to make this the best Christmas ever.

We want this to be the best Christmas ever. So, we are looking at the gifts that only Jesus can bring beginning with true hope.

Many of Jesus’ disciples have left him, so he challenges his Twelve in a way that will grow their faith. From John 6:60-71.

In John 6:41-59, Jesus tells his audience that we must "eat his flesh and drink his blood." That was as confusing a statement then as it is now. In this message, Pastor Tom explains what it means and how Jesus should impact the life of a follower.

Jesus says, "I am the bread of life." This declaration in John 6:22-40 is deep and meaningful. In today's message, Pastor Tom unpacks what this means and how we are required to respond to God's grace in salvation.

As Jesus gives his 4th and 5th signs, he makes a clear identity statement about who he is and his mission. As we dive into John 6:1-21, we will see his use of Old Testament imagery to paint a clear picture that he is The Messiah, the Son of God, and God himself. As Jesus makes his identity known, he forces us to ask ourselves the question, "Do we know Jesus?"

Jesus ordained the practice of the Lord's Supper. But what is its significance? In this message, we explore what the Bible says and discover many aspects and the depth of meaning in Communion.

Jesus has made extraordinary claims about being equal to God and on God's mission to redeem and restore creation as God's chosen divine agent. But is there any evidence to support what he has said? As Jesus responds to his Jewish opponents, that is the question addressed in John 5:31-47. And what we find is that there were, and still are, witnesses to what Jesus claims. But, to see the truth about...

In John 5:19-30, Jesus gives us some eternal truths we must believe. Because missing these truths has eternal questions. So, these eternal truths, with eternal consequences, lead us to ask an eternal question.

Your perspective changes how you see everything. But, it does not change the truth. We see how perspective matters as Jesus performs his third sign in John 5:1-18 and will be challenged to examine how we view everything, especially Jesus.

John 4:43-54 gives us a picture of the obedience Jesus expects from his followers. And what we find out is that when we are obedient, God uses that to produce fruit in our lives, for those around us, and to make himself known to the world.

Jesus demonstrates the fulfillment of God's plan of redemption is upon them, and the fields are ripe to be harvested. He invites his disciples and us into that harvest. "Get In Those Fields" from John 4:27-42.

John 4:1-26 provides a wonderful story of how Jesus leads a most unlikely candidate through all her obstacles to grow her faith in him.

John the Baptist sets an example for all believers in their ministry of Jesus. In John 3:22-36, he responds to a dispute within his disciples by teaching them the heart for Jesus every Christian should have.

Is God a merciless judge allowing "good" people to perish? How does the loving God shown in John 3:16 align with Jesus coming to earth? As we continue our walk through John, we'll discover the love, mercy, and grace of God offered in Jesus.

John 3:16 is a verse most are familiar with. But in today's message, Pastor Tom peels back the layers of this verse to discover the depths of God's love and the required response from us. What we find is that true faith results in actions that correspond with our stated beliefs.

John 3:1-15 provides a discourse with Nicodemus, who is representative of everyone who had a shallow faith built on seeing signs. Jesus explains to Nicodemus what must occur to see the Kingdom of God and how he must be made fit to enter that kingdom. This discourse is a valuable teaching tool for all of us to examine our level of faith and a comfort to know that Jesus has provided the solution for...

Jesus' clearing of the temple in Jerusalem is a well-known story. But today, we're going to use the text from John 2:13-25 to challenge us to grow the same kind of passion for the Temple of God that Jesus showed in this passage.

Jesus' first sign in his public ministry displays God's glory and abundant grace. In this message, we see that Jesus is bringing something new, unexpected, and better than anything previously experienced, and we are invited to partake in what Jesus offers. The Wedding at Cana from John 2:1-12 is the focus of our study.
