Solid Rock Church Sermons

In the second sermon of the Galatians series this past Sunday, we looked at the impact that the Gospel has on the relationships we have with others. Because we have been invited into a community, the way we live out our faith in Jesus always has an affect on the community of Christ. In the same way that our faith removes the barrier between God and us, it also removes all barriers between those wi...

In the Letters to the Church series, we started our journey through the book of Galatians this past Sunday. Pastor Jason pointed out how Paul boldly opened his letter to the churches in Galatia by reminding them that there is no other Gospel. The power of the Gospel lies within the Gospel without being modified or added to. As it is, The Gospel has the power to transform the worst of humanity into...

In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jasonconcluded the series on Romans in Romans 12:1-2. While this isn’t the last chapter of Romans, we were able to see Paul’s shift in chapter 12 to begin drawing life application from the theology of chapters 1-11. This last section of his letter begins with a clear call to live as “blank checks” before God out of the mercy we have re...

In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason broke down Romans 10 for us to see the simplicity of God’s plan for salvation. Rather a complex system of religious rules, our salvation is the process of hearing, believing and confessing. While the culture we live in bombards us with a trendy version of wisdom, true salvation is based on believing the wisdom of the Gospel.   Have you truly...

In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason walked us through our relationship with God as a loving Father. In Romans 8, we were reminded that God is a loving Father who has set us free from condemnation of our sin, who leads us towards a life of peace, who reminds us of our adoption, who helps us in our times of suffering and weakness, who fights on our behalf to secure our identity and protect...

As we continue in the Letters to the Church sermon series this past Sunday, Pastor Jason preached on the Bible’s instruction for battling sin from Romans 6. In this chapter of Romans, Paul begins with reminding the church what Christ has already done for them and then commands the church to remember this Truth as the starting point for battling sin. By trusting in Ch...

In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason walked us through Romans 4, discussing where we find hope beyond life's difficult circumstances.  From Abraham’s example, we learned that faith is not the absence of dealing with reality.  Rather, faith is walking with an unwavering hope in the midst of uncertain reality.  As we considered the examples of Abraham, Elijah,...

In his sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason walked us through the biblical truths found in Romans 4. In this text, Paul reminds the church that God is not impressed with our work for him or the status of our position. We don’t have to come from a religious family or grow up in the church culture to impress God. We don’t have to change our wardrobe or hide our tattoos to keep God from...

Pastor Jason began our journey through Romans this past Sunday.  In Romans 1 & 2, the Apostle Paul boldly proclaims the Gospel as the only true source of grace and peace.  The unrighteousness of man’s heart leaves the human soul in a desperate and weary state.  There is nothing that man can look to in God’s creation and nothing in man's pursuit of morality that can p...

Pastor Jason wrapped up 1 & 2 Corinthians this past Sunday with a sermon on biblical stewardship and generosity.  After laying a biblical foundation for money and possessions, we looked at 14 key principles to biblical stewardship and generosity from 1 Corinthians 16, 2 Corinthians 8 and 9. We learned that biblical stewardship leads to God’s provision and God’s provision leads...

In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason preached on reconciliation. In 2 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul lays a beautiful foundation for reconciliation by reminding the church that reconciliation is based on seeing our offenses from an eternal perspective, approaching these offenses by faith with a desire to please Jesus. Without these principles, true reconciliation is impossible. We realize...

This past Sunday, Pastor Jason preached on the Light of the Gospel from 2 Corinthians 3 & 4.  Far too often, the church teaches that being the light simply means to be kind or moral.   The Apostle Paul confronts this perspective by helping the church to understand that being the light in the world means sharing the only thing that unveils truth and delivers people form darkness...

In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason preached on spiritual gifts from 1 Corinthians 12.  Before discussing biblical instructions for spiritual gifts, the Apostle Paul first lays a gospel-foundation.  He reminded us that understanding spiritual gifts begins with a personal relationship with Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit in our life.  We learned that ALL believers...

Before our taking Communion as a church this past Sunday, Pastor Jason preached through 1 Corinthians 11:17-29.  In this text, the Apostle Paul pointed out a major issue of division among the Corinthians believers during Communion.  Instead of taking the Lord’s Supper as a community devoted to Christ and each other, some of the people were showing up early and eating and drinking w...

In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at how the Gospel confronts the entitlement-attitude of the current generation.  We were challenged to consider the areas of our own life where we operate in entitlement rather than surrender.  In 1 Corinthians 8 and 9, the Apostle Paul uses personal examples from his own life to show how he has surrendered his rights for the sake of the Gospel.&...

In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason walked us through an overview of the discipleship process in 1 Corinthians 3.  Discipleship is the process of learning and observing all that Jesus has commanded.  Believers do this by meeting regularly with a mature believer over a period of time; learning how to deny the desires of the flesh, die to selfish ambi...

This past Sunday Pastor Jason led us through 1 Corinthians 2 to see that the church as been given the responsibility and entrusted with the rich, life-giving message of God’s word to lead people through life’s difficulties towards an eternal relationship with God.  It’s the role of the church to invite the world into a life of hope and joy that is found along the p...

As we continue our journey through the Letters to the Church sermon series, Pastor Jason preached 1 Corinthians 1.  We observed Apostle Paul going after the division that was beginning to emerge in the Corinth church over loyalty to certain individuals over others.  We discussed how most church division stems from placing personal preferences over and above biblical conviction....

This past Sunday Pastor Jason wrapped up 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus by focusing on a “good conscience.” Because of our struggle with sin, every person is subject to a guilty conscience and the world offers 3 options for ridding ourselves of a guilty conscience: 1) hide our sin and pretend it didn’t happen, 2) shift the blame to someone else, or 3) change God’s moral law. &...

For Mother’s Day this past Sunday, Jason challenged moms to see the significance of their role in imparting sincere faith to their children.  In 2 Timothy 1:5, Paul reminded Timothy that his sincere faith dwelt first in his grandmother and mother.  The Bible defines faith as the conviction of things that are true combined with a deep level of trust and value.  Christian faith...

In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at Paul’s connection between godliness (God-likeness) and the Gospel. According to Jesus, the Gospel has been deposited in our hearts and when it is deposited in good soil, it will reveal itself by producing good fruit. In his letters to Timothy and Titus, Paul continuously calls the church to guard the deposit of the Gospel. He calls the church to s...

We wrapped up the Ephesians series this past Sunday in Ephesians 6:10-20, where we discussed the power to stand against the evil schemes of the devil.  We were reminded that the battles we face on Earth are not primarily against one another, but against the spiritual forces of evil.  The most powerful thing we can do in spiritual battle is to remind ourselves and our enemy of what is tru...
