Go To The Rock

Jesus didn't die so His kingdom could be filled with servants — He died so it could be filled with sons and daughters. In this message, Pastor Jonathan Dirmann opens Luke 10:38-42 and asks the question every believer eventually has to face: is your relationship with God built on performance, or on true fellowship?

Whatever you're facing right now — a relationship in crisis, a financial gap, a health scare, or a burden that's kept you awake at night — God has the answer. In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann opens Jeremiah 29:11-14, cited in multiple surveys as the most sought-after verse in the entire Bible, and asks the question underneath it: are you seeking God with all your heart, or just checking in the way you'd check Google or AI for a quick fix? "Our God has the answer," Pastor Jerry says. "You can search AI, but you're going to get something artificial."

Have you ever doubted in the dark what God clearly spoke to you in the light? In this powerful message from The Rock Church, we open up Numbers 23:19 to discover why every promise, calling, and instruction God has ever spoken over your life is still on its way to being fulfilled.

When the Lord speaks to us — whether it's a promise, an instruction, or a calling — He has every intention of bringing it to pass. But between the moment we hear His voice and the moment we see it fulfilled, there's often a season of waiting that tests whether we truly believe what we heard. In this sermon, titled "Don't Doubt in the Dark What God Spoke in the Light," we walk through Scripture to see how God's people navigated that gap between promise and fulfillment.

You don't have to do anything wrong to drift from God — you just have to stop paying attention. In this deeply personal message called "Rooted," Nicole opens up about the current that quietly pulls people away from Jesus, and the three keys that keep us anchored.

It starts with a story from the beach: at 12 years old, Nicole got caught in an ocean current and drifted down the shoreline without ever realizing it was happening. That's exactly how it works spiritually. Hebrews 2:1 warns us to "give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away" — and this message unpacks what that drifting looks like in real life, and how to stay rooted instead.

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.
