Have you shrunk Jesus into someone you can use instead of a Savior you worship? Standing in Caesarea Philippi — a hillside covered in pagan idols and a marble temple to Caesar — Jesus turned to His disciples and asked the one question that still confronts us today: "Who do you say that I am?"

If you've ever quietly customized Jesus into something more manageable, more transactional, more "fire truck" than Lord, this message will challenge you to stop editing Him down and start worshiping Him as He truly is.

Suffering is real, but it doesn't get the last word. In this message, Pastor Jonathan Dirmann teaches from 1 Peter 5:8-10 on why believers suffer and how God uses even the hardest seasons to perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Have you ever prayed and felt like heaven stayed silent? You're not alone — and Pastor Jerry Dirmann says the problem isn't that God stopped speaking. It's that we're not listening.

In this powerful message, Pastor Jerry opens John 10:27 — "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" 

Promotion doesn't come from the east, the west, or the south — it comes from God. Pastor Jerry Dirmann opens God's Word to Psalm 75 to show you how to prepare for the promotion God already has planned for you. PLUS: a special, history-making announcement for The Rock Church family.

"It's not IF we go into all the world—it's HOW." From Mark 16:15-16, Pastor Jerry Dirmann unpacks the Great Commission and reveals why every follower of Jesus — "young, old, tall, short... any language, any shade" — is called to go into all the world, somehow.

This JD Missions Sunday message features a rare, live interview (faces blurred, voices altered for their protection) with a missionary couple serving among an unreached people group in the Middle East. After 13 years of preparation — biblical grounding, missions training, and building a "tent-making" vocational platform — they share what it's really like to carry the gospel into a region where believers face persecution, house arrest, and even wartime danger. Their answer to fear? "Dive in and fan the flame of the calling God has given you."

Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21) — and the words you speak today are quietly shaping your finances, your promotion, your relationships, and your joy tomorrow.

In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann opens Proverbs 18 to show that your words are not neutral background noise — they're spiritual currency. Every word you speak either activates the angels of God working on your behalf or gives ground to the enemy's plans against you (Psalm 103:20, James 3). This is a practical, Scripture-dense teaching on how to speak in a way that invites abundance rather than accident.

What if the greatest display of your spiritual authority isn't what you say — but what you refuse to let move you? This message from The Rock Church unpacks one of the most powerful declarations in all of Scripture and shows you how to stand when everything in your world is designed to make you fall.

Are you buried under financial pressure and wondering if God even cares? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Jerry Dirmann teaches from Proverbs 22:7 that God never intended His people to be enslaved by debt -- and He has a supernatural strategy to set you free.

This message, "Removing Mountains of Debt," reveals how God combines practical stewardship with supernatural power to deliver His people from financial bondage. Pastor Jerry walks through Scripture after Scripture showing that God wants to make you the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, the lender and not the borrower (Deuteronomy 28:1-12). But this isn't a prosperity gospel message -- it's a call to faith, obedience, and trusting God as your ultimate source rather than money, systems, or worldly strategies.

Tired of looking to AI, YouTube "experts," or the next side-hustle for answers about your finances? In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann reveals God's SUPERNATURAL strategy to break the cycle of debt — and shows that the SOURCE of your financial provision is closer than you think. (Hint: Jesus said you CANNOT serve two masters.)

In this powerful, practical message, Pastor Jerry unpacks Matthew 6:24 and 6:31-33 — "No one can serve two masters... You cannot serve God and mammon... But seek first the kingdom of God... and all these things shall be added to you." This isn't just a moral choice — Jesus said it's a spiritual reality. Your daily actions, not your words, reveal who your true source really is: God, money, self, or even AI, YouTube, and "experts" who want you to pay into their system. (To be clear — this isn't a message against technology. It's an invitation to make sure technology, side-hustles, or "the system" never become the god we serve.)
