If you have a personal relationship with Jesus, then one day you will spend eternity in Heaven! This is such good news. We live in a broken and fallen world because of sin, but one day it will all be made right. Jesus will take us to our eternal home, and we will be with God and our loved ones forever. Regardless of what you are facing today, know the best is yet to come in your life. Live as a ci...

There are a lot of misconceptions about how one gets into Heaven today. Most people think it is about being good, being born in the right family, or even being in church. While all these things are fine, Jesus tells us that there is only one way to Heaven. It is not about religion but about a relationship with Jesus. This is God’s Good News. Eternal life is not based on what we do (or don’t do); i...

Every civilization has had some belief about the afterlife. The Bible even says, “God has also set eternity in the human heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). But, what do we know about Heaven? Well, God wants us to know about our eternal home. Jesus talked extensively about Heaven, and the Bible mentions Heaven over 550 times. In this four-week study, we will focus on Heaven, and I pray you will grow in yo...

For many, the start of a new year is a fresh, clean slate, and setting a resolution is a way to dictate what they'll prioritize that new year. But, unfortunately, it's more common not to follow through on a resolution than it is for one to complete it. Why is that? Well, one reason could be that we are creating too lofty of goals. Another could be the way in which we view our "resolution." So, we...

Merry Christmas! Thank you for celebrating the Christ of Christmas at this special Christmas Eve Service. My hope and prayer is that you experience the love and grace of God as you realize that Christmas is for you. The greatest Gift of all has been given to you this Christmas – Jesus, God’s own Son. As the angel announced, Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you (Luke 2:11). Jesu...

The story of the Magi is one of the mysterious threads in the Christmas narrative. Who were they? Where did they come from, and how did they know about the birth? And even more importantly, why does it matter? When you look closer, you realize it matters a lot. The story of the Magi shows us the beauty of God’s nature, the power of Scripture, and the depth of the human heart. The Magi were willing...

The shepherds were invited by God to see His Son, Jesus, that very first Christmas, and their stories were forever changed. God invited them, and God invites each of us. Sometimes, we disqualify ourselves from hearing from God and serving Him, and sometimes we make excuses. This Christmas, will you experience God’s love and see Him change your story? Will you come and adore Jesus and then live a l...

God chose Joseph to be the earthly father to His Son. How amazing! Joseph’s entire life changed that first Christmas. He went from living for himself to living out God’s plan for his life. Trusting God is not always easy, but God’s plans for us are always better than our own. God allowed Joseph to be a part of His story, and God is inviting you as well. Each of us has a story. Will you trust God w...

Christmas is a season of excitement and anticipation, where we celebrate the birth of Jesus. As we dive into the Advent season, we are reminded of the astonishing story of the first Christmas. This year, our church is in its Christmas sermon series – Stories of Christmas, a journey through Luke 2 exploring the stories of different characters who played significant roles in the Christmas story. Fro...

We all have so much for which to be thankful. Just think about it. Seriously! In the midst of all the family, food, and football, take some time this week to truly be thankful. Regardless of your circumstances, gratitude is a matter of the heart. We can all be thankful for salvation we have in Christ. We are loved – you are loved . Thank God for His Gift of Grace in His Son, Jesus, and the blessin...

Today is our Commitment Sunday! Today is exactly 52 days since we started our NEXT Campaign as a church. Nehemiah and the people rebuilt the wall around Jerusalem in 52 days, and just imagine what God will do through us as we have prayed, sacrificed, and now give together. The people back then set the stage for Jesus’ first coming, and we are building His church and setting the stage for our Savio...

This is our time. Nehemiah and the people had their day and their time, and now this is our day and our time. God has called us to do something great for Him – to build His Church. God’s Church will outlast us and impact future generations to come for the glory of God. May we live every day as His people, and may we give our best for His glory. This calls for 100% participation. Not equal gifts, b...

Just like Nehemiah, God has given each of us a work to do. First, it is coming to know Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior, receiving God’s grace, and then growing more like Him every day. Also, it includes the work of developing our God-given gifts, growing a Godly family, building a great church for His glory, and more. It is so easy to be distracted, but when we stay focused and faithful to G...

We see the impact of leadership every day in our world. We see good leaders, and we see terrible leaders. Good leaders put others before themselves, while bad leaders put themselves before others. Good leaders give and sacrifice to help and make a difference. Generosity is a big part of good leadership. God teaches His people to be generous, but we live in a world of greed. Will we become godly le...

When you serve the Lord, you can count on there being opposition. For all Christ-followers, we have an enemy who wars against us. In John 16:33, Jesus told His disciples, “In this world you will have trouble.” However, our God is greater! When opposition comes, use it as a time to grow your faith. Become more determined to do what God has called you to do and to become all He created you to be. Ne...

Throughout history, God has used men and women to accomplish His work. God doesn’t need any of us. He is sovereign over the entire world. Yet, in His sovereignty and grace, He allows us to be involved in what He is doing in the world. As we join Him and become involved in His work, our lives are changed. We become more like Jesus. Christ-followers who have gone before us have left a legacy that ha...

Just like God called Nehemiah, so God’s call comes to each of us. God's call always takes boldness. When God gives a vision, we must pray and plan. We pray for God to go before us and prepare the way, and then we take the time to plan as we join God in accomplishing His will. Nehemiah shows us the importance of both praying and planning. So, what’s your plan? What’s your plan to grow spiritually,...

Nehemiah had worldly success in his life – I was cupbearer to the king (Nehemiah 1:11). Then, God’s call came to him to be involved in the work of the King of kings. This was an invitation from God Himself. How would Nehemiah respond? He could have said “no” to God. He had money, success, and position, but he gave it all to be involved in what God was doing. And, in the process, God used Nehemiah...

Have you ever felt stuck?  The same, monotonous routine.  A frustrating, continued circumstance.  Unanswered questions and prayers. You're not alone. The Israelites felt this for years and years. The book of Ezra is devoted to events occurring in the land of Israel at the time of the return from the Babylonian captivity and subsequent years, covering a period of approximately one century. 100 year...

In an ever-changing world, there is only One constant – Jesus. As God’s people today, we are to live in the confidence that He is forever and ever. Therefore, we live by faith and not fear. Out of our confidence in Christ, we are called to invest faith in Jesus to the next generation. We are called to pass on what has been entrusted to us. As parents, grandparents, and God’s Church today, we must...

Scripture counsels us to have the glory of God at the center of our lives. That means we are to live for His renown, and this should be evident in our lives. In fact, when we live for His glory over our own, it is always for our good. Paul says, “To Him be glory in the church.” The church (this is us) should be the most beautiful manifestation of His glory in the world. The picture of this in the...

Our God is able to do miracles. God works through the power of His Holy Spirit to transform lives for His glory. The Holy Spirit indwells every Christ-follower. God is constantly working in us and through us. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are conformed to the image of Jesus, and we are used to impact others. As Christians, we must learn to live by the Spirit. God is always speaking and...

Our God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. Yet, so often, we settle for so little. We think only about what this world can offer, and we forget about the power, grace, and love of our great God. Jesus still does miracles today. As we stay faithful to Him, we are able to see and experience the beauty and power of God. Invite Jesus into your heart and daily life, and watch Him tran...

We all face challenges in life. Everyone is fighting a battle. When challenges come, we can choose to fight on our own, or we can pray and invite God into the battle. There is power in prayer. God answers every prayer we pray. Many times we are scared to pray because we don’t know how God will answer. But, as we grow in our relationships with God, we learn to love Him enough to trust Him with the...

This morning we are beginning a brand new series, “God is Able.” Our theme verses here at Rolling Hills are Ephesians 3:20-21, “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in all generations forever and ever. Amen!” Whatever you are facing in your life today, know that your God is gre...
