The Rock Church of Fenton Sermons

What does it mean to abide in Christ, and what does it look like in every day life? Jesus reminds his followers how much he loves them and that we can simply abide in His love. Turn to scripture: John 15:7-11 Matthew 7:7-11 John 14:13-14 I John 3:1 Additional scripture: I John 4:19 Romans 8:38-39 I John 5:3 Romans 5:8 I John 4:9-10

Join us for this special message on prayer and fasting as we seek the Lord's direction as a church.

Jesus is the true vine and all real believers are the branches. Every branch that bears fruit, He prunes in order that it will bear more fruit. Pruning by way of the Word of God, conviction, trials and persecution yield the fruit of repentance, The Spirit, the light and the making of disciples. Every branch that does not bear fruit is gathered up, thrown into the fire and burned. Are you a fruit b...

Join us as guest speaker Pastor Josh Combs brings us this week's Sunday message.

Join Guest speaker Pastor Ernesto Alaniz for this week's Saturday night message. Verses: Matthew 6:11 Matthew 7:7-11 Matthew 6:34 Proverbs 30:7-9

Jesus promised to give believers His peace. He said that His peace is not like the artificial peace that the world gives. The peace that Jesus offers will bring true comfort and rest in the storms of life, our relationships with one another and most importantly between God and man. In our natural state, we are called the enemies of God. Do you have true peace? TURN-TO REFERENCES JOHN 14:27 ISAIAH...

Jesus warned that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an eternal sin that can never be forgiven. This is why the Word of God warns, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart.” The judgment for all who insult the Spirit of Grace will face a terrifying expectation of fiery judgment. Join in as we study the sober truth of the sin that is “Unpardonable.” MARK 3:22-30 MARK 3:30 HEBREWS 6...

Jesus promised that He would send another Helper who is The Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? Where was He before Jesus sent Him? How is He a Helper to us? Is there anyone who cannot receive Him? Examine these questions and more as we study through John 14 in, “Another Helper.” References JOHN 14:16-26 JOHN 14:26 JOHN 14:17 JOHN 14:16 JOHN 14:26 LUKE 12:11-12 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-11 JOHN 16:8 JO...

Even after faith in Christ, time in the Word, and growing in our relationship with God, we can find ourselves wishing for a sign of God’s power in our lives. Can you relate to these whispers of “if only…” in your heart? If only God would… • Save my spouse. • Heal my sickness. • Take away my struggle. • Give me a better job. • Bless my family… These requests are usually accompanied by our promises...

We often tell people that everything will be ok. Often times we do it to give people a sense of hope. In John, 14 Jesus offers true peace and comfort in a very unsettling circumstance. He gives his disciples and us an understanding of how and why everything can be ok. Scripture: John 14:1-6 John 11:35 Hebrews 4:15 James 4:13 Revelation 21:4 John 14:27 Psalm 23:4 Matthew 11:28-30

Jesus told His disciples that He was giving them a new commandment. He said that all men will know we are His disciples if we love one another as He loved us. The Bible says that God’s love is patient, kind, not jealous or arrogant. God’s love is not unbecoming, self seeking, provoked and does not keep a record of wrongs. Is this the kind of miraculous love at work in your life? JOHN 13:34-35 1 JO...

At the last supper, Jesus redefined the meaning of Passover. He would position Himself as the all sufficient Lamb. Jesus then established a new covenant in His blood. Under the new covenant there would no longer be a veil of division between man and God because of sin. Jesus would tear down the dividing wall so that all who believe may boldly enter before the throne of grace. LUKE 22:14-20 LUKE 22...

In a shocking moment, King Jesus stooped down and began washing the feet of His disciples. He explained that He was the example all true disciples must follow. Jesus declared that He did not come to be served, but to serve. There are many practical ways all Christ followers should be washing feet. Are you a faithful foot washer? TURN-TO REFERENCES: JOHN 13:4-7 JOHN 13:10 JOHN 13:11 JOHN 13:14-16 J...

The Gospel of John tells us that Jesus came forth from God and was going back to God. Jesus is not the Father or the Holy Spirit, but He is the fullness of God in bodily form. The Bible explains to us that Jesus was the agent through whom God created the world. Jesus has all authority over Heaven and Earth. Jesus has authority even to forgive sin, raise the dead and receive worship. Join us in stu...

The Bible has much to say about the Devil and his schemes. The Word of God also gives the believer a vast arsenal filled with weapons of spiritual warfare. When the powers of darkness assail us, we must know how to not only defend ourselves, but also strike victorious blows for righteousness. EPHESIANS 6:10-20 EPHESIANS 6:14 ROMANS 6:13, 16-19 EPHESIANS 6:15 EPHESIANS 6:16 PSALM 3:1-2 EPHESIANS 6:...

Every generation, people and culture worldwide have talked and written at length about a dark force at work behind the evil we encounter. Though he has gone by many names, The Bible calls him the Devil and Satan. What is the devil? Where is he? What does he do? What will be his ultimate destiny? The Word of God answers all of these questions and more. JOHN 13:1-2 EZEKIEL 28:11-17 JOB 1:6-7 LUKE 8:...

The Bible says that Jesus loved His disciples to the end. Many times during the trials and tribulation of this life, we can be tempted to wonder if God truly loves us. Whether it’s during terrible misfortune, persecution or peril, The Bible promises that Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us. He has loved us with an everlasting love. Do you belong to Him by faith?

When we believe in Jesus we are given incredible spiritual blessings from God. We are able to truly see, know and hear The Lord and understand His Word. Without Jesus this is impossible. We are also immediately rescued from the darkness of our sin, hopeless, and condemnation. We never again need to be identified by our past darkness, but rather by the light of salvation.

Despite witnessing so many signs, the crowds of Jesus’ day still refused to believe. Seeing their perpetual unbelief, God hardened their hearts so they would remain blind and numb to the truth. The Bible warns, “Seek the Lord, while He may be found.” Those you continue to stop their ears to the voice of God risk the eternal consequence of being hardened past the point of no return. JOHN 12:37-43 J...

Sometimes Jesus is right in front of us, calling to us, telling us He is the way to eternal life. When we choose to believe in Him we can have a peace that surpasses all understanding. Sometimes we may be following God in our life and get to a place that doesn't look the way we think it should, is God still with us? As we dig into the Book of John we get to the hour that Jesus has been talking abo...

For generations, people have attempted to silence the message of Jesus. The Pharisees in John’s day rightly concluded that their efforts were, “not doing any good.” The gospel can never be stopped. His Word is eternal. In order to truly belong to Him, we must forsake this life and follow. When did that happen for you? References: JOHN 12:17-19 JOHN 12:20-22 JOHN 12:23-24 1 CORINTHIANS 15:35-37, 42...

When Jesus rode into town on a donkey, many held palm branches and cheered His arrival by shouting “Hosanna!” However, their apparent enthusiasm was only superficial. Their praise came with motive and earthly expectation. One day His true followers from every nation will praise Him while holding palm branches once again. This will happen in Heaven. How authentic is your praise? References: JOHN 12...

Paul declared that he had determined to know nothing except Jesus Christ. To determine to do or be something is a deliberate act. For the Christian we must determine to not become entangled in worldly affairs. We must determine to be ambassadors for Christ who actively make disciples. What have you determined for Jesus? 1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-5 2 TIMOTHY 2:3-4 2 TIMOTHY 2:16,23 2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-20 1...
