The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached

Who gave the greatest sermon ever preached? It wasn’t Billy Graham, Charles Spurgeon, or even the Apostle Paul. The greatest sermon ever preached was from the greatest preacher who ever lived: Jesus Christ.

Imagine Jesus Himself walking toward you, holding out His hands and asking if you’d like to hear Him expound the Scriptures… Would you pay attention?

That is what we’re getting after this week – the foundational truths of Christianity, where faith is formed and lives are changed for all eternity. Join us for this important teaching from Rock Bottom, The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached.

Rejecting the voice of Rejection

Rejecting the voice of Rejection
Genesis 37-40

If you’re stuck where best thinking has got you, it’s time to change your thinking.

God won’t force Himself into your heart, but He does want to change you and heal the hurt behind your destructive behaviors.

How does change happen? Often, change begins with a crisis; the journey of changing is a process. The process of change is hard work.

And if you fail in the process? Return to the crisis. Remember why you began this journey and get help that will help you continue.

Let’s Reject the Voice of Rejection. Refuse to accept what our failures say – and lean into how the God who made us sees us.

Reject Rejection – First This

WATCH


Reject Rejection – First This
Matthew 5:25

WE ALL EXPERIENCE REJECTION – and its scars can remain a heavy burden. But if, in dealing with it, your solution does not leave you closer to God, it was not God’s solution for you.

You must continue on in faith! If you believe that God’s blessings are for other people and not for you, if you believe that God is secretly somehow angry with you over the things that you regret, then you need to know a lot more about the Lord!

Join us in faith as we continue learning to handle this difficult subject. Open your Bible to Matthew 5:25 and get ready for Rejecting Rejection – First This!
