Live in the Present | James 4:11-17 | Pastor Andy Rock

James explores the depth of gossip's impact, stressing humility and living in sync with Jesus' will and love. He warns against harming others with false stories, while distinguishing healthy conversations about pain from harmful venting. Excessive complaining can escalate to damaging talk, going against Jesus' message of love. Jesus alone holds the role of Judge; forgiveness means letting go of judgment and praying for release from resentment. Staying present with Jesus and trusting His guidance counters harmful speech. James compares human plans with aligning with God's will, suggesting regular prayers for direction. These insights connect to concrete acts of love, reflecting Jesus' forgiveness and encouraging its expression.

Burning It All Down | James 3 | Pastor Andy Rock

In life, we make mistakes, but embracing humility allows us to learn and grow. Be tender, recognizing the need for mercy. Instead of striving for perfection, find courage in vulnerability.

Just Do It | James 2:14-26 | Pastor Andy Rock

True faith comes alive when our beliefs and actions are in harmony with the teachings of Jesus. It's not enough to simply believe; we must let our faith shine through our words and deeds. When we align our lives with the truth He embodies, we inspire others to believe as well. Let us remember that faith is not about being perfect but about cultivating a genuine relationship with Jesus. When we choose to walk in His ways, we draw closer to God and discover the true purpose of our faith. May our actions speak loudly, reflecting the love and truth we have found in Jesus.

You do? Or you don’t? Or you Do? | James 1:19-25 | Pastor Andy Rock

Instead of striving to fulfill God's desires apart from Jesus, embrace the truth that Jesus has already perfected the law through His love. He loves you unconditionally, so choose to receive His blessings and experience true freedom. As we put our beliefs into action, our faith becomes tangible, opening our eyes to the presence of Jesus throughout our lives. He was there for us in our childhood wounds and sends His saints to love us when we are broken. By growing in His grace, we also reveal His love to others.

Jesus Is First | 3 John | Pastor Andy Rock

Sometimes the only way your heart is going to change is if you have the courage to do what you know is right and then let your feelings follow. Put down the tools of anger and resentment and gossip and cutting people off. Take up the tools of kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and love. The promise is clear: you’ll see Jesus in ways you never even thought possible when you use His tools, not your own.

Protecting your heart and your family | 2 John | Pastor Andy Rock

There will be a day when you open your eyes and see that some of your friends are not pulling in the same direction as Jesus. You realize the only thing you have in common is your shared bondage to the same lie or rebellion. They’re not friends, they’re cellmates. And when you start to get free, they’ll do everything to pull you right back into bondage. You don’t change people with anger. You change people with love. How do you help those who don’t believe? How do you help them see that trusting Jesus is better than their anger or pride or cynicism or self-reliance? You love them.

The Beauty of a Mended Life | Romans 11:33 - 12:2 | Pastor Paul Dugan

Untransformed Christians pose a significant obstacle to the secular world embracing Jesus. The credibility of the church's mission relies on the spiritual development of its members. Christian spiritual formation should not be seen as a tactic to alleviate guilt or gain God's approval, but rather as a grateful response to the abundant and wise love bestowed upon us by God. Grace loses its value when we attempt to earn it or view it as a permit to indulge in whatever we desire. God's work of restoration extends beyond our internal, individual, and personal lives. Jesus' authority encompasses all aspects of society. When we were created in Eden, we were intended to bear the royal image and collaborate with our Creator in responsibly tending to His marvelous world. Jesus is currently reinstating this noble human calling and inviting us to bring healing and transformation to every aspect of human life around us.

Jesus hears You | 1 John 5 | Pastor Andy Rock

Eternal life is not solely about what happens after death. It begins in the present, as you journey through everyday life with Jesus. However, to experience this eternal life, it's crucial to slow down and intentionally recognize and embrace it. It all starts with prayer—a trusting connection with Jesus, who attentively listens to your fears and desires. Surrender the outcomes to Him, and ask Jesus to align your desires with His heart, plan, and timing. Rest assured, Jesus is attentive and loves you unconditionally. His plan and timing are designed to bring you abundant joy and the very best for your life. Trusting Jesus necessitates shifting from self-reliance to seeking His assistance.

Do You Want To Be Alive? | 1 John 5 | Pastor Andy Rock

Every Christian has experienced the temptation to feed the old part of our hearts. But we know that when we feed that old, dead heart, it only leads to death. Feeding resentment, bitterness, and anger will destroy our peace and relationships. Continually feeding self-doubt and cynicism will rob us of our ability to pray and worship. However, when we choose to surrender every part of our lives to Jesus, we can experience the freedom of His love. Jesus offers to carry our burdens and helps us to overcome the temptations that lead to death. By living in the joy and fullness of His love, we can extend that same love to those around us, and in doing so, experience the true purpose and fulfillment that life has to offer.

There is No Fear in Love | 1 John 4:12-21 | Pastor Andy Rock

We all struggle with something. If you struggle with fear, you may create a version of God that demands you to control every possible outcome. While sacrificial love can help you break down that persona, it doesn't necessarily make it disappear completely - you may find yourself creating another one. To truly overcome this, you must choose, with Jesus, to destroy that inflatable version of yourself. But how do we do that when we're afraid of being vulnerable with others? The answer is to choose love, which conquers fear. Perfect love drives out fear, and so we must choose, time and again, to be vulnerable and honest. As we deflate our personas and share our true selves, His love will continue to destroy our fears.

Jesus is Greater | 1 John 4 | Pastor Andy Rock

Jesus serves as the atoning sacrifice for you, and He loved you first. He doesn't love you only when you've earned it; He loves you unconditionally, right now. Jesus demonstrates His love by sacrificing Himself, and He blesses you through His love. To love others, follow Jesus' example by loving them first, without requiring them to earn it. Serve them and love them at your own expense, for their benefit. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we are free to be generous with our entire lives for the sake of others. We can lay down our lives for our friends because we already have everything we need in Christ. Every good gift that He has given us, we can use to love others.

The Resurrection of Our Hearts | 1 John 3 | Pastor Andy Rock

Allow the Holy Spirit to change what you desire. You will start loving what and who He loves. You will start seeing that you can make a difference. You will risk loving others well. And then your prayers will start to change. You will discover that as you pray in line with God’s will, prayers get answered right and left. It feels like whatever you ask for you, you receive. But even when you don’t get what you ask for, even when God asks you to wait, you still wait with hope rather than anger or despair or doubt.

You Don’t Have to Pretend to Be Perfect | 1 John 3 | Pastor Andy Rock

Righteousness isn’t perfection. Righteousness is being made right by Jesus, and being in right relationships with others. Jesus came to bring heaven to earth, and heaven is an evil-destroying, sin-crushing, death-eating supernova of God’s presence and love. He didn’t lob advice down into the mire of your brokenness. He came to you. Jesus died for you. And now Risen, Jesus does surgery on your dead heart so that your heart can be born again. And so you can love others.

Bold Love | 1 John 2:28 - 3:3 | Pastor Paul Dugan

Some of us approach Jesus as visitors rather than abiders. We come to wave to him every once in a while in church, but we have not intentionally gone out of our way to invite him into our everyday lives. To abide in Jesus we must deal with the noise that competes for our attention. Noise can be both internal and external. Noise can make us deaf to the voice of God. Our current epidemic of distraction is robbing many of us of the ability to be present: present to God, to other people, to our own souls, and to all that is good, true, and beautiful in our world. Slow down, let go, and abide in Christ.
