The Rock Family Sermon of the Week

We open up Exodus 3 and treat the burning bush as a pattern for how God gets our attention, shapes our hearts, and forms us into mature believers. We learn to recognise holy ground in everyday life, respond with reverence, let God rebuild our identity, and accept that real encounters often come with a sending assignment.  • Holy ground begins with attention and turning aside from busyness  • God’s...

We go to Leviticus 10 to confront “strange fire” and why God still requires holiness in our worship and our lives. We connect that warning to New Testament priesthood in Jesus, asking our families to pursue discernment, purity, and Spirit-empowered consistency.  • Prayer over business leaders and those with influence, asking for wisdom, courage and increase  • Nadab and Abihu’s profane fire, why i...

We wrestle with Cain and Abel as more than an old story, using Genesis 4 and Hebrews 11 to ask what makes worship acceptable to God. We confront how rejection distorts our view of God, ourselves, and others, and we choose to re-engage with the Father who keeps pursuing us.  • Celebrating Manna House and the backpack program as worship in action  • Refusing to believe we are more compassionate than...

We challenge the idea that Pentecost is a one-time experience and call ourselves into a daily lifestyle of Holy Spirit power, sacrifice, and obedience. We walk through Josiah’s story to expose mixed allegiance, hidden high places, and the difference between performative religion and honest repentance that brings real freedom.  • Pentecost as a lifestyle rather than a moment  • God provides the fir...

You can do a lot of “right” things and still drift from the one thing Jesus wants most: love that stays alive. Pastor Rusty takes us into Revelation 2 and the message to the church of Ephesus, a community praised for hard work, endurance, and testing false teachers, yet confronted with a piercing line: they lost their first love. That tension feels uncomfortably current for anyone who has served f...

We challenge the way we talk about the Holy Spirit by reframing fire as God’s confirmation rather than our performance or a Sunday-only moment. We leave with a clear responsibility to tend the flame through surrender, purity, and steady daily obedience.  • The Holy Spirit brings the fire while we bring the sacrifice  • The meaning of all flame as being consumed by God’s presence  • Leviticus 9 and...

Pentecost is not a strange side story we can ignore. It is the day the Church is born, the day God puts His Spirit in His people, and the day ordinary believers become witnesses with real power. Pastor Scott Zilcox kicks off our All Flame series by asking a blunt question: what does “All Flame” actually mean if we are not truly dependent on the Holy Spirit? We get pastoral and practical about the...

We close the It Is Well series by redefining God’s presence as personal friendship that holds our joy steady even when life stays hard. We look at Abraham, Moses, and Jesus’ words in John 15 to show how closeness with God reshapes prayer, suffering, calling, and everyday choices.  • Defining God’s presence as relational closeness, not a mystical idea  • Naming the cost of distance with God, from e...

We hand the mic to three young adult speakers who challenge us to stop living motivated and start living all in. We call ourselves back to going with the gospel, abiding in Christ as our source, and serving people the way Jesus does.  • The Great Commission as a command for every believer  • Bold evangelism rooted in love for people  • Compassion as empathy plus action  • Abiding in Christ as the...

We tell a true story of feeling stranded and anxious in a strange city, then watch God provide in a way that points straight to kingdom culture and belonging. We connect “It Is Well” faith to shalom, covenant, and Jesus’ authority over chaos so perseverance does not cost us our peace.  • Shifting the goal from preparing to suffer to persevering while still pursuing peace  • The Aaronic blessing as...
