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
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.
What is the biggest hurt impacting your life today?
Too often, we’re looking for freedom but stuck in our hurt. Some injuries are recent, others decades old yet still wreaking havoc our lives.
Emotional healing is one of the most visible needs of our day – and it was a primary focus of Jesus’ ministry. So bring the Lord those wounded places in your heart, mind and life that most need His touch.
Open to Matthew 11:28, and let’s find help, hope and healing…
Ever have so many bad days it seems everything’s going wrong? When your life is finally going in the right direction, when you’re focused on following Jesus, struggles and roadblocks still appear.
When you feel hard pressed and trapped, it’s time to stop and turn to the Lord.
Even Jesus had bad days and faced rejection and betrayal.“…Always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.” 2 Corinthians 4:10 When you’re backed into a corner, He is there. When you don’t understand, He is there. When you’re under attack, He is there. As John Wesley declared in his final breath, “Best of all. God is with us.“

Destroying the Strongholds in My Disposition | Overcoming Rejection and Betrayal
True brotherhood is ready to join you in warfare. A brother is with you in the trenches, even at your worst. And our war is not physical or fleshly, it’s spiritual.
God has given us the weapons and the ability to win the fight – and to destroy destructive patterns of thinking.
Brotherhood fights together, but we all have individual battles. We need to detect and destroy the strongholds in our disposition and with the Lord’s help and the strength of brothers (and sisters) bring them in conformity to Christ.
Lean in with us and learn the truth about ourselves and our spiritual battle…
Four Reasons Strongholds Are Hard To Break | 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 | Overcoming Rejection and Betrayal
Strongholds are fortified patterns of thinking that are stubbornly resistant to God’s Word and God’s will.
Wherever you’re stuck, whether a destructive sin or hidden addiction – to find freedom, you must get honest and take care of your heart. And nothing will be different until you think differently.
Defeating a stronghold requires confronting sin and failures with humility. But don’t be discouraged, by God’s grace you CAN destroy those patterns and walls of sin, addiction and shame.
Let’s Get Way Behind |2 Corinthians 2 | Overcoming Rejection and Betrayal
Addiction is a heart sickness and a broken crutch. We encounter addiction every day in our ministry. In this new series, we begin grappling with its source.
Addiction is a way of thinking that must change if sobriety is going to last. If you are working to get victory in your behavior, don’t miss this: The critical battle is to change your thoughts.
You have to get behind an addiction to fight it properly – and it cannot be won with earthly weapons. When your first action in the battle is to reach for flesh weapons, the war will soon be lost.
Let’s bring the truth of God’s Word to the chains of addiction, and hope for those in its shackles…
The Day of the Lord: Hope or No Hope? | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 | Hope Springs Eternal
First Thessalonians is sobering yet hopeful, warning us of judgement to come for unbelievers – but great hope for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Those far from the Lord will instantly awake to the totality of their reality error. But those who are alive in Christ will be rescued by the rapture to watch in safety from the balconies of Heaven.
Take time to learn (or be reminded of) these incredibly important truths in God’s Word about what is to come…
