Mary is one of the most well-known people in history. Yet, what made Mary special was her relationship with Jesus. Mary focused on Jesus even when she did not understand what God was doing. Mary stayed faithful to God. Mary is the only person who was at Jesus’ birth and at the cross. And, through the Resurrection, Jesus became not only her son but also her Savior. Fix your eyes on Jesus and submit...

In the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus makes a striking difference between the world and His disciples. Most people go the way of the world and their lives mirror culture. But, Jesus’ disciples follow the narrow way that leads to life. Jesus says that all people are known by their fruit. In your life, do you look more like the world or more like Jesus? Nobody (except Jesus) is perfect...

We must learn to live with a Kingdom mindset. This world is only our temporary home. We were created for eternity, and we have a heavenly home waiting for us. What we do here impacts eternity. Therefore, we must learn to store up treasures in heaven and not simply on this earth. We must learn to trust that our Heavenly Father will take care of us. And, we must learn to love other people instead of...

It is possible to do the right things for the wrong reasons. Jesus warns us that one reason people do this is to gain the approval of others. He gives three specific examples of how the practices of giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting can be used for personal social gain and not for Kingdom. He then gives us the way to practice these with pure hearts. Practice them to glorify God.

Jesus teaches His Disciples the “Way of the Kingdom” or what life with Jesus as a follower of Him looks like. Jesus came and turned the popular thinking of the day upside down! Teaching that life in the Kingdom is about relationship, not religion, that you should love your enemy, and that He cares about your heart! Will you be a person this week who continues to look for meaning and purpose in the...

The Sermon on the Mount is the greatest sermon ever shared. In this message, Jesus outlines what it means to be a disciple of God. This is the great manifesto of the Christian faith. There is power in words. Words shape our lives and transform our hearts. The words Jesus gives are not simply to be heard and admired, but to be implemented into our daily lives. These words are life-giving and life-t...

Jesus grew “in favor with man.” As we grow closer to God, we will naturally grow in our love for others. The key to spiritual growth is love. Jesus said the most important commandment is to love God and to love others. As we live like Jesus, people are changed and so are we. We cannot simply talk about being a Christian, we must live it out in our everyday lives. How do you plan to grow in “favor...

This year could be filled with DISTRACTIONS, but what would it take to FIND focus by finding time WITH the Father. When we are reminded of why God chose to save his creation it makes us want to be WITH him. And get this...When we are WITH Him, we want to be LIKE Him.

From the time Jesus was 12 and his parents found him teaching in the temple, until he was grown and ready to begin His earthly ministry, we have one verse that gives us a glimpse of how He prepared to change the world. Luke 2:52 says "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." As we kick off 2020, we explore how we too can learn from Jesus as we look to grow in stature and m...

Join us for our special Christmas Eve Candlelight Service!

How can you find real peace? We look for peace in all the wrong places. We seek peace with others by avoiding them. We look for peace with God through religion. When it comes to finding peace with ourselves…far too many of us have come to believe that’s not even an option. True peace in all of these things and more is available at any moment, but it’s only found through Jesus. Join us this week at...

Before Jesus was born, God was telling the world what kind of Messiah He would be. When Jesus lived on this earth, He showed us what God is like. Jesus personified God as our Everlasting Father. We all know the impact of a father. For some, the word “father” brings great thoughts, but for others, there are difficult memories. However, despite the shortcomings of our earthly fathers, God is the per...

Jesus is Mighty God. Sometimes it is easy, at this time of the year, to simply think about baby Jesus in the manger. Sweet little baby Jesus. While we do thank God for the humanity of Jesus and by that He can identify with all we go through, yet make no mistake - Jesus is fully God. Jesus’ birth, life, and death was anything but ordinary. Jesus, as Mighty God, came into this world to conquer death...

What counsel do you need from God? IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME!! Time to put up the tree, string up the lights, and turn on the holiday classics! But the best part of the whole season is the chance to celebrate the birth of Jesus. In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah predicted His birth, calling Jesus a “Wonderful Counselor.” Which is such a relief, because a lot of us could use a reliable shoulder to...

What are you thankful for? It’s almost Thanksgiving! Which means we're a week away from being stuffed full of all kinds of culinary goodness. In the midst of all of the eating and parades and football, it’s easy to forget what the holiday is actually all about. Join us this week at Rolling Hills to hear stories of Thanksgiving and learn how you can prepare your heart for a week of thankfulness.

You know a tree by its fruit. An apple tree produces apples. An orange tree produces oranges. Therefore, a Christian should produce Christ. So, what comes out of your life? Most of the time, we work hard to develop godly characteristics like love, joy, peace and the list goes on. However, our call is not to produce this fruit out of our own self-effort, but to grow deeper in Jesus. As we grow deep...

Through Jesus, we are set free. When we commit our lives to Jesus, we ask Him to forgive our sins, redeem, and restore us. We then enter into an eternal relationship with Sovereign God who becomes our Heavenly Father and we are set free. Set free from having to live like the world and we are set free from the law. Our salvation comes in Jesus alone. We are set free and we are called then to live f...

As a follower of Christ, everything about your earthly life and eternal salvation is based on the Promise of Jesus’ death and resurrection for you. As you go through your week, reflect on what it looks like to live a life based on God’s Grace and Promise instead of on your own striving and effort. Let your actions flow out of Jesus’ exceedingly abundant gift! Don’t try to finish by your own streng...

In a world filled with counterfeit gospels, it becomes imperative that we focus on the real gospel. Jesus plus nothing else equals everything...equals salvation...equals sanctification. When we have been set free from the Grace of God through Jesus it transforms our lives. Not only does it change the way we LIVE, but it also changes the way we LOVE. When we start from our undeserved grace and love...

How’s your math? Maybe you’re a mathematician. You got straight A's in every single math class in all 20+ years of schooling. You’re the kind of person who even dreams in numbers. Or maybe you barely skated by in algebra and only because the teacher took pity on you. You won’t even attempt a math problem that can’t be done on your phone’s calculator. Regardless of your level of math knowledge, the...

We live in a culture of anxiety, worry, and fear, but God wants us to be “anxious for nothing.” God is Sovereign - He is in control of everything. When we learn to fully trust Him, then we can have peace. This doesn’t mean that we will not go through challenging times in our life, but it will mean that will always know that God is with us. Changing the music of our life to Psalm 23 will be a const...

We have all been blessed not just for us, but for us to be a blessing to others. The two great antidotes to anxiety are gratitude and giving. When we think about all God has done for us, then we quickly see our anxiety subside. When we truly realize God is Sovereign over all Creation, and He is the One who is with us and He is for us then we are able to give and invest in others. We experience joy...

In this world, we live with so much anxiety, worry and fear. Yet, we must remember - God is with us through it all. Our tendency is to look at the “wind” and the “waves” around us. To focus on our problems or struggles; yet, when we look up Jesus is there with His arm outstretched to us. Will you take His hand today? Will you receive His grace and peace in your life? Whatever you are facing this w...

Do you feel broken? We have all experienced pain. For some of us, that pain cuts pretty deep. It’s easy to feel like we have to fix ourselves completely before we can be used by God, but God doesn’t think like that. Whatever pain you’ve gone through, God has a purpose in that brokenness and He knows how to use it to help those around you. Join us as we continue our series on Psalm 23, and discover...
