Game Changing Faith
We were thrilled to welcome our dear friend Ted Barrett to speak to the men at Rock Bottom. Ted spent years working as an MLB umpire, he humorously told us, “Jesus loves umpires—because no one else does.“
His journey is truly inspiring, as he shares his path from salvation and learning to follow Jesus, to his time in Major League Baseball, and ultimately answering God’s call to ministry. He even founded a motorcycle club in Phoenix!
Join us to hear Ted Barrett’s powerful testimony and discover how God wants to use each and every one of us!
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.
God is in Control |Acts 12
In the most challenging and unexpected seasons of life, someone may have told you “God is in control.”
This weekend, first-century believers will remind us why we can trust God and His will.
Growing throughout the book of Acts, the early church was marked by chaos, persecution, life threatening opposition. Yet even then, they actively trusted that the Lord is in control.
Let’s learn from them. Because even when you suffer, even when it’s midnight, even when your faith is weak – and even when the wicked seem to prosper – God is always in control.
Why I Love The Lord | Psalm 103
When you hit rock bottom and face a season of grief and loss, remember – God is with you and working in you. While He doesn’t answer prayer that’s passively tossed over the shoulder like a piece of trash, the Lord does incredible things with focused, fervent, earnest, faith-filled prayer.
On even the hardest days, God can give hope and take you the distance you couldn’t go yourself. The darkest days of your life can be in your rearview mirror forever!
Join us in Psalm 103 for these truths about God’s goodness – and you too can declare, “This is why I love the Lord!”
Did you know – your prayer life is not dependent on your ability to articulate to God? He loves to listen and answer your requests. He wants you to approach him in prayer, with faith, and make your requests known.
As 2024 begins, fire up your prayer life with these accelerants straight from Scripture, and fuel your faith!
Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages of Scripture, provoking Christians to think and act on their faith.
Lamb of Heaven
While we scramble around last minute for the holidays, God isn’t worried or anxious. He rules and oversees every aspect of our world from His Throne.
And as we return again to Revelation chapter 5, prepare to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, worshiped by myriads of angels!
Is Christ receiving the worship due Him from you? Let’s take time as we celebrate this Christmas to focus our worship on the only One who is worthy.
Where Would We Be Without Christmas? | Revelation 5
Where would we be without Christmas? How dark would this world be without the light of Christ? What would we do if we didn’t have God’s Word?
There would be nothing important enough to celebrate or a message good enough for me to share in these weekend teachings.
God doesn’t want us walking in darkness and doubt, that’s why He clearly reveals His Word and His Son. Only God’s Word can change a human’s heart and shine a light in the darkness. Join us as we jump into Revelation 5 – and see God’s revelation to us!
How To Approach Heaven | Revelation 4
Do you wonder what it’s like in Heaven? Or how it will feel to kneel before God on His throne?
Revelation 4 gives us a glimpse into the throne room of God who sits now and reigns forever on His throne.
This weekend, let’s join the multitude of angels, who sing day and night, You “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty!”
