THANKFUL THANKFUL THANKFUL!

We are thankful for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For the Word of God, for family and friends that love the Lord. For increasing ministry opportunities, for continuing legal victories vindicating our integrity in all ministry matters.

For Change Partners and partners in the work of the Lord. For life and health and the Holy Spirit, who is even more to the believer than Jesus was to those first disciples, that He “was with you and he shall be in you.” John 14:17

What are you thankful for? Give God your gratitude and let’s go!

If you’re feeling under resourced or carrying a heavy load, it’s no surprise. God has made no provision for you to live the Christian life on your own.

You’re not strong enough or committed enough, none of us are. God has just one provision for us to live a life of joyful obedience in Christ – the Holy Spirit.

And how does the Holy Spirit help? You’re about to find out, in this never before aired message straight from the Scriptures…

We were thrilled to welcome our dear friend Ted Barrett to speak to the men at Rock Bottom. Ted spent years working as an MLB umpire, he humorously told us, “Jesus loves umpires—because no one else does.“

His journey is truly inspiring, as he shares his path from salvation and learning to follow Jesus, to his time in Major League Baseball, and ultimately answering God’s call to ministry. He even founded a motorcycle club in Phoenix!

Join us to hear Ted Barrett’s powerful testimony and discover how God wants to use each and every one of us!

It's time to move from putting off rejection to putting on acceptance.

Because living in lasting victory is about more than what you're not doing. It’s about what you are doing to replace it.

Don't miss this week's powerful message from Pastor James, Accepting Acceptance: Welcome Home.

What is the primary pain point in your life? Can you put your finger on it? 

Know this: suffering with unresolved hurt doesn’t have to become a way of living. In fact, God offers a way through our suffering that is total, immediate, and unilateral…

But the message of the Bible is only life changing if you believe it!
