Christmas! | Week 2 // Ryland Walter // The root of the word miserable is miser. The stingier you are, the more unhappy you will be. But if you learn to trust God and become open handed with what God has given you, you’ll have less worry, more joy and a closer walk with God than you ever imagined.⁣

Christmas! | Week 1 // Andrew Walter // You probably don’t have time to read this. In the rush between gift-giving, decorating, events and cooking, Christmas can come and go before we know it. But to stop for just a moment and turn our attention to the promise Christmas offers can transform the way we experience this season. It can remind us of the good time Christmas can be because of the good ne...

Ryland Walter // This weekend we are celebrating all that God has done in our lives through this spiritual growth campaign. Listen to a story of life change, celebrate baptisms and hear some closing thoughts to wrap up and tie together the whole series.

Ryland Walter // Life is all about learning how to love. It’s the most important value we can build into our lives. Why? God created everything in the universe because of his love. He made you because he wants to love you and he wants us to learn to love like he loves.

Ryland Walter // We would all probably agree that honesty is the best policy, but it’s easy to find an excuse not to tell the whole truth. Other times, it can be tempting to intentionally deceive people. But honesty is essential for success in many areas of our lives.

Ryland Walter // When everybody else is living for themselves, why should we live any differently? Practicing fairness is foundational to building values in our lives that last. This week we will find out how God views injustice and unfairness in our world and how we should respond.

Ryland Walter // We want pure air to breathe and pure water to drink, but some of us may be less aware of our mental or moral purity. Is it even possible to maintain purity in a world where we’re continually bombarded by media trying to rob us of our purity? The answer is yes!

Kelly Walter // No one gets through this life without being hurt—that’s a guarantee. We live in a broken world, and none of us is perfect. That’s why the value of forgiveness is so important to build our lives upon. Without forgiveness, we’ll have a difficult time with conflict and unsettled issues in our relationships. This week we’ll look at why in the world we should ever forgive someone and ho...

Tom Stoltz // This week we're looking at another endangered character quality. It's the quality of respect. We live in a very rude world, but good relationships depend on respect. The Bible makes it very clear that respect is a value that a stable family and a stable life is built upon.

Ryland Walter // Are you managing your schedule or is your schedule managing you? This week we're going to look at a quality that is universally admired and universally ignored, the quality of balance.⁣ ⁣

Kelly Walter // Anything that’s uncontrolled will eventually destroy you. Even good things that God created can destroy you if you let them go unchecked. Join us this weekend to hear how to give God control over the things that have slowly gotten out of control.⁣

Ryland Walter // When God created you, he wired you with the capacity and desire to trust in something greater than yourself because he wanted you to have a relationship with him. The values you build your life on directly depend on who you put your trust in. Why trust in something else when you can trust a dependable God?

Ryland Walter // You don't get to choose a lot of the circumstances and events that happen to you. But you do have the ability to choose how you react to life. Because you have the freedom to respond and you are able to respond you are response-able. You are responsible. Accepting responsibility is the foundation to building your life on values that last.

Ryland Walter // Week 3 // What you’ve chosen to value determines who you are. Your values are your core beliefs that shape everything you do. Your values will determine your stress level, your success, and many other things. If you want to build lasting success and significance in your life, you must choose what is going to be your standard.

Kelly Walter // Week 2 // We want you to get the most out of the upcoming Spiritual Growth Campaign. Prepare for “Building Your Life on Values that Last" by learning about the six elements God uses to anchor you.

Preparing to Build Week 1 // Ryland Walter // We want you to get the most out of our upcoming Spiritual Growth Campaign. This weekend we’ll unveil, “Building Your Life on Values that Last” and discover that success is never a one-person show. The support system you choose will largely determine your level of success and meaning.

Zach Sherwood // This message will help us accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Ryland Walter // This weekend we'll celebrate going back to school by discovering how God uses pressure, problems and people at school and work to grow our character.

Ryland Walter // Christianity is a singing faith. It’s one of the things followers of Jesus are renowned for. We gather together and sing. But why? What does our singing accomplish? What purposes does it fulfill?

Ryland Walter // Each weekend, 55 million people listen to 1 billion words in sermons given in the United States alone. Why is hearing a sermon part of the weekly rhythm of the Christian life?

Ryland Walter // Have you ever felt like it wasn’t just one thing coming against you, but it was several things? This weekend we'll look a the stepping stones to lifting our gaze to God and finding freedom from whatever terror is at the door.

Ryland Walter // God is at work. He’s working in your life. He’s working in those around you. What would happen if you knew how to show the people close to you where God was already using them and at work in their lives?

Ryland Walter // If our faith were never tested, our faith would be weak and puny. God uses tests in your life to grow your character and strengthen your faith. As long as you’re on Earth, you’ll be in constant growth and development to become more like Jesus. Join us this weekend as we look at how God can use the trials in your life to grow your faith.

Ryland Walter // There are many different church backgrounds represented at Rock Brook, including Catholicism. This weekend we'll talk about what unites us with and what distinguishes us from the Catholic Church.

Week 4 // Tom Stoltz // Are we living in the End Times? Will Jesus return soon? The truth is, whether the End Times are here or not, you are living in your own end time. Time is a gift. Time is an opportunity. What will we do with the time we have left?
