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.

Discover how to walk in the supernatural overflow of the Holy Spirit through intentional obedience to God's Word. Pastor Jerry teaches from Galatians 5 and Hebrews 4:12 about how the Word of God divides soul and spirit, exposing our true motives and calling us deeper into relationship with Him. Through personal testimony about choosing obedience over profit in ministry, you'll learn that overflow isn't just for some people—it's available to everyone who draws near to God.

Christine Caine shares a powerful message about faith that amazes God. Drawing from Luke 7 and Mark 6, she reveals two times Jesus was amazed - once at great faith from an unlikely source, and once at unbelief from those who should have believed most.

In this inspiring message, Christine challenges us to move beyond comfortable Christianity and step into a faith that crosses the street, interrupts our plans, and believes God for the impossible. She shares her own journey from being unnamed and unwanted to leading global movements, proving that God specializes in using unlikely people in unlikely places.

Key Points:
• The crisis we face isn't political or economic - it's a faith crisis
• Familiarity with Jesus can breed laziness in our faith
• God uses interruptions and inconveniences to build His kingdom
• Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, not scrolling social media
• Your history doesn't define your destiny - Jesus does

The flesh pulls you downstream. The Spirit calls you upstream. ⬆️

Galatians 5:16 reminds us: Walk in the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the desires of the flesh. But walking in the Spirit isn't passive—it's an active, daily choice to pursue God's presence through prayer, worship, and His Word.

Pastor Jerry just launched a new series, Swimming in Overflow, teaching us how to get into the flow of the Holy Spirit and stay filled. Because you cannot live in overflow and also live your current life.

Ready to walk in the Spirit? Watch "Get Into the Flow" now.

God desires His people to live in overflow—filled with the Holy Spirit and flowing with His life and power to reach a world that is hungry and thirsty for Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Kimberly Dirmann shares how the Holy Spirit is not only our helper and guide but the very source of supernatural life within us. When we stay full of Him, His presence overflows from our lives to impact others.

This message will encourage you to be filled afresh with the Holy Spirit and live in daily overflow.

"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done FOR you." - John 15:7

Do you believe God wants to answer your prayers? In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann teaches the third step in the guaranteed breakthrough process: Ask What You Desire. 

Jesus said, “Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” God delights in giving good things to His children—but He calls us to ask in faith, in alignment with His Word, and with hearts that abide in Him. 

If you’re ready to see your prayers answered and your joy made full, this message will help you step into bold, faith-filled asking that glorifies the Father. 

For God's words to abide in us, we must first be able to hear them. But what happens when spiritual ears grow dull? Pastor Jerry examines the barriers that prevent us from hearing God and the biblical solution that brings breakthrough.
