Want supernatural power in your life? Pastor Jerry Dirmann reveals the secret from John 15: to bear much fruit, you must "step on the clutch"—intentionally stop, pray, and abide in Christ. Just like shifting a manual transmission requires disengaging the engine, accessing God's power requires stopping to pray.

In this powerful message, Pastor Jerry teaches from John 15:5-8 that everyone—not just full-time ministers—can live with supernatural results when we abide in Christ through prayer. Using the memorable metaphor of a manual transmission clutch, he shows how Jesus modeled this lifestyle: stopping to pray before ministry, fasting in the wilderness, and returning in the power of the Holy Spirit.

What if God sees potential in you that you've never dared to believe? In this powerful Vision Weekend message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann shares seven prophetic words from the book of Luke that will reshape how you see yourself in 2026—starting with God's declaration: "You have underestimated your potential."

Are you tired of feeling stuck, unstable, and unsure about your future? God has a perfect plan already scripted for your life—and it's time to take control by surrendering to His priorities.

In this life-changing message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann reveals the biblical keys to moving from instability to stability, from floundering to flying. Drawing from Ephesians 2:10, you'll discover that you are God's masterpiece, created for good works He prepared in advance for you to walk in. But here's the challenge: "Something's got to go." You cannot serve God and chase money (Matthew 6:24). You cannot reach your destiny while clinging to distractions, unhealthy relationships, time-wasters, and wrong priorities.

Pastor Jerry teaches the power of pruning using John 15:1-2—God cuts away what's unnecessary so you can bear more fruit. Whether it's excessive social media, overworking, hobbies that drain your time, or relationships that pull you away from God's purpose, pruning is essential for fruitfulness. Using Stephen Covey's Four Quadrants of Time Management, you'll learn to focus on Quadrant 2: the important but not urgent things that build a solid life—prayer, discipleship, family, health, and preparation for your calling.

But what holds people back from God's best? Two powerful hindrances: REGRET and RESENTMENT. Pastor Jerry shares how the Apostle Paul (who murdered Christians), Peter (who denied Jesus), and David (who committed adultery and murder) all experienced restoration and fruitfulness after major failures. There is no sin too great for God's forgiveness. If you've been carrying the weight of past mistakes—even abortion—this message includes a prophetic word of complete forgiveness and healing.

"Your past will not hinder your future in Jesus' name." God is declaring over you: "I am He who restores the years the locust has eaten" (Joel 2:25). It's time to forget what is behind and press toward the prize (Philippians 3:13-14).

KEY SCRIPTURES:
• Ephesians 2:10 - We are His workmanship
• Matthew 6:24 - You cannot serve two masters
• John 15:1-2 - The Father prunes for fruitfulness
• Matthew 6:33 - Seek first the kingdom of God
• Psalm 90:12 - Number your days wisely
• 1 Thessalonians 4:4 - Possess your vessel in sanctification
• Romans 8:1-2 - No condemnation in Christ Jesus
• Philippians 3:13-14 - Press toward the prize

TAKEAWAYS:
✅ God's perfect plan for your life is already prepared—surrender to it
✅ Time management is really self-management—prioritize what matters eternally
✅ Pruning is necessary for fruitfulness—let God cut away distractions
✅ Regret and resentment will sabotage your destiny—receive God's forgiveness
✅ "You have to give up to go up" (John Maxwell)
✅ "There's a place on top if you're interested"—commit to God's priorities

This message is for anyone ready to stop drifting and start building a solid life on the solid rock of Jesus Christ (Luke 6:47-48). Whether you're struggling with time management, past failures, financial stress, or unclear direction—this sermon will equip you with practical, biblical wisdom to take control of your life God's way.

It's about immediate obedience and refusing to waste the time God has given you.

Discover a simple practice that has brought breakthrough, clarity, and God's direction for over 25 years. Pastor Kimberly Dirmann shares how to intentionally seek and hear God's specific plan for YOUR life in 2026.

God has already prepared good works for you to walk in (Ephesians 2:10), but how do you discover what those are? In this powerful message, Pastor Kimberly teaches the "Roles and Direction" method—a practical way to hear God's voice, write down His vision for your life, and walk in the plans He's prepared.

**In this message, you'll discover:**
✓ Why God's plans can't be found through natural means (1 Corinthians 2:9-12)
✓ How to actually hear the Holy Spirit's direction for your life
✓ The "Roles and Direction" practice that transforms how you live each year
✓ Real-life testimonies of breakthrough from following God's instructions
✓ Practical steps to seek God for His plans in different areas of your life (family, work, ministry, relationships)

This isn't generic goal-setting—this is a life-changing practice of partnering with God to discover His perfect plans for you. Whether you're a parent, spouse, leader, business owner, student, or simply God's child seeking direction, this message will equip you with a proven method to hear from heaven.

Can you prove Jesus is the Messiah? This Christmas sermon presents 4,000 years of Old Testament prophecies—written centuries before Jesus was born—that were fulfilled with stunning precision. The evidence is overwhelming, but the choice is yours.

When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary with an impossible announcement, he wasn't starting something new. God had been predicting the Messiah's coming since Genesis 3:15, 4,000 years earlier. The virgin birth, the birthplace, the tribe, the crucifixion details, even the exact timing—all prophesied long before Jesus arrived.

In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann takes you on a chronological journey through biblical prophecy:

4000 BC - Genesis 3:15: The "seed of the woman" will crush the serpent's head
1975 BC - Genesis 49:10: The scepter shall not depart from Judah
1000 BC - Psalm 22:1, 16, 18: "My God, why forsaken me?" Pierced hands and feet, garments divided
740 BC - Isaiah 7:14: The virgin shall conceive and bear a son called Emmanuel
740 BC - Isaiah 53:5-6: Wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities
740 BC - Micah 5:2: Born in Bethlehem, but "from everlasting"
600 BC - Daniel 9:25: Precise timing from decree to rebuild Jerusalem to Messiah's coming

Every single prophecy? Fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. The mathematical probability of one person fulfilling just 8 prophecies by chance? 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 (100 quadrillion). Jesus fulfilled over 300.

In an age of advanced technology and artificial intelligence, it's easy to depend on human eloquence and wisdom. But only the power of God can truly change lives, deliver us from bondage, heal our bodies, and restore our families. This message will equip you to flow in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit that are available to every believer "for the profit of all" (1 Corinthians 12:7).

Learn the critical distinction between praying in tongues (available to all Spirit-filled believers anytime) and the gift of tongues (a manifestation given "as He wills"). Plus, hear powerful testimonies of how these manifestations operate in real-life situations—from a word of knowledge that reconciled a father and daughter to prophetic words that brought breakthrough and encouragement.

THE NINE RIVERS OF LIVING WATER EXPLAINED:
1. Word of Wisdom - Supernatural insight on what to do in specific situations
2. Word of Knowledge - Divine revelation of facts you couldn't know naturally
3. Discerning of Spirits - Seeing spiritual realities behind physical circumstances
4. Faith - Supernatural surge of confidence for specific miracles
5. Gifts of Healings - Healing power flowing through believers
6. Working of Miracles - Signs, wonders, and divine interventions
7. Prophecy - Speaking God's message to encourage, edify, and comfort
8. Tongues - Supernatural language for public edification when interpreted
9. Interpretation of Tongues - Translating messages in tongues by the Spirit

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 7:37-39 | 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 | 1 Corinthians 2:4-5

Are you living powerlessly when God has given you rivers of living water? Pastor Jerry Dirmann reveals how to activate the flow of the Holy Spirit through speaking, praising, worshiping, and praying in tongues. This life-changing message will ignite your Spirit-filled walk.

In this powerful sermon, you'll discover:
- The difference between salvation and baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-6)
- How to "turn on" the flow of the Spirit daily through speaking and worship
- Why praying in tongues is for ALL believers, not just some (1 Corinthians 14)
- The nine manifestations of the Spirit and how they flow through you (1 Corinthians 12:7-11)
- Practical steps to move from powerless Christianity to Spirit-empowered living
- The power of the flow: rivers of living water coming out of your heart (John 7:38)

Pastor Jerry systematically unpacks Scripture (Galatians 5:16-17, John 4:13-14, John 7:37-39, Ephesians 5:18-19) to show that God doesn't want you to live a silent, passive Christian life. The Holy Spirit is a fountain inside you waiting to be released. This message will confront, activate, and empower you to walk in the fullness of what Jesus bought for you.

This is part of our "Swimming in Overflow" series on the Holy Spirit at The Rock Church.
