Starting with a bible study at the Newark YMCA in September 2007 and then moving to Sunday services at their present location in December 2008, The Rock Christian Fellowship is active in, and passionate about soul winning, discipleship, and the repentance that brings about transformed living and equipping the next generation for godliness. 

Pastor Ray, P-Ray as some have begun to call him which spells PRAY covets your prayers as he seeks to serve and love the community with the heart of Christ. Pastor Ray and his wife Ruthie are also the proud parents of four children as they continue serving the city of Newark, NJ by God's grace.

From this passage, Pastor Lloyd observes the passing of the baton from Paul to Timothy in this spiritual relay race of which we are all a part and destined for victory. In today's culture, there is a growing resistance to the truth and to sound doctrine. But the faithful worker will always honor God's word. Will we be a clean vessel, a sacrificial vessel? This passage from 2 Timothy 2, looks at how we make ourselves useful to our Father and Lord, always pursuing more righteousness, more grace. As a baby grows, likewise we must grow and mature, disciplining our minds and bodies to be part of God's grand design to touch and change souls.

Every major doctrine of the Bible comes from these first eleven chapters of Genesis including God's blueprint for marriage. We must remember that marriage is a mystery pointing us to a greater relationship that God desires to have with us. Using current research, Pastor Lloyd gives the top ten reasons why marriage is good for you and the downside of divorce. Learn the wisdom of, "leave and cleave," and the most problematic relationship for married couples.

Pastor Lloyd begins this message by zeroing in on Satan's most effective weapon against the Believer, and that is discouragement. In this epistle, Paul encourages his young protege who also faced discouragement. Sometimes in our own walk, rather than seeking something new, we simply need to remember the basic, essential truths to find the encouragement we need. Do you wonder if you are approved by God? How can you know? Be a worker who rightly divides the word of truth; feast daily on God's word; don't wrangle over empty words and chatter; don't worry about people's opinions. These only distract and discourage us from important, eternal things.
