We explore why meals matter for mission and how simple, consistent table fellowship turns surface talk into real community, prayer, and discipleship. From Jesus at parties to Acts 2, we map practical steps to open our homes, our schedules, and our hearts.

• Jesus at meals with outsiders as mission
• table fellowship as family bonding and discipleship
• prayer before meals as witness and conversation starter
• barriers to hospitality and home perfection myths
• culture of closed doors and how to counter it
• starting with church tables then widening the circle
• moving from platitudes to presence and action
• practical, repeatable steps for intentional invites

Please come. You won’t be sorry. Donuts, fellowship, and coffee at 10:00; worship at 10:30 at the American Legion Hall in Rockdale. Everybody’s welcome.

We trace Paul’s move from open-road missionary to “ambassador in chains” and challenge ourselves to serve when plans change. Clarity, contentment, and obedience shape a life that still bears fruit inside setbacks, with honest talk about boundaries, unity, and humility.

• Paul’s arrest in Acts 21–22 reframes mission
• Contentment as strategy under pressure
• Calling versus changing assignments
• God’s timing and unexpected routes to impact
• Boundaries that love without enabling harm
• Church unity through humility and confession
• We are not Paul, and honesty helps growth
• Practical discipleship from constrained places

If you're in Rockdale on Sunday, we are at the American Legion Hall. We have coffee, donuts, and fellowship at 10, followed by service at 11. We have a children's church and we have a nursery, and we look forward to seeing you

We ask a hard question with a hopeful aim: are we truly on the team or just wearing the jersey. We trace how obedience, community, and honest accountability turn Sunday shine into a daily, lived faith that holds up when no one is watching.

• why obedience is the evidence of love
• reading Scripture to know what to obey
• faith and works as proof, not merit
• moving from image to substance in daily life
• honest community that bears burdens
• practical accountability that encourages growth
• replacing excuses with surrender to God
• being ready as the next person up to serve

If you're here in the Rockdale area on Sundays, we have worship at 10:30. We meet at 10:00 for a little coffee, donuts, and fellowship out at the American Legion Hall here in Rockdale. We do have a nursery, we do have kids' church. Everybody's welcome.

We reflect on Acts 20:24 and ask whether “Christian” is a label or a lived walk with Christ, sharing stories of shifting from sports and screens to Scripture, prayer, and obedience. We press into red flags, real growth, and how ordinary moments can become time with God.

• Acts 20:24 as a lens for purpose and mission
• moving from entertainment enthronement to a focused walk
• reading for meaning and praying for relationship
• measuring spiritual growth and spotting red flags
• obedience, repentance, and the lordship of Jesus
• everyday practices that turn silence into prayer
• suffering as a teacher that clarifies what matters
• discipleship language vs vague labels and cultural baggage
• practical next steps in Scripture, prayer, and community

We move from a backyard peach tree to the ache of grief, tackling doubt, purpose, and what faithful living looks like when life prunes us down to the branch. Honest stories, scripture, and practical steps point us to a quieter legacy that lasts.

• renewal after pruning as a picture of grace
• honest talk on discouragement and feeling neglected by God
• childhood faith vs being truly reborn and changed
• using scripture, prayer, and community to steady the heart
• engaging skeptics with evidence and personal testimony
• meaning found in glorifying God and making disciples
• stewarding time, motive, and works that endure
• legacy that points to Christ rather than applause
• humility about titles and recognition
• prayer for listeners who carry questions about eternity

• grace through faith, not by works
• motive and mission as evidence of new life
• reflecting on the crucifixion to awaken gratitude
• repentance and sanctification as ongoing rhythms
• help for those who feel they have backslidden
• confession to God and honest community
• everyday mission in neighborhoods and workplaces

We press into the power of words—how the tongue, though small, can steer lives toward Jesus or away. Scripture guides the hour as we move from James 3 and Ephesians 4:29 to everyday moments at home, on the road, and in church, choosing construction over demolition.

• Philippians 2:14 - Do all things without Grumbling
• James 3:2–10 on the tongue as spark and rudder
• Ephesians 4:29 as a filter for timing, tone and purpose
• practicing repentance in speech and building new reflexes
• encouragement that lifts without flattery
• Luke 6:45 reputation, language and credible witness
• legacy over minutia and what words outlast us
• practical habits to pause, repair and bless

Join us this Sunday: donuts, coffee and fellowship at 10; service at 10:30. We meet at the American Legion Post just north of town. Children’s church and nursery available

We confront the cost of following Jesus through Paul’s hostile reception, the pruning of John 15, and how real accountability forms resilient disciples. We weigh crowd-chasing against disciple-making and ask what our legacy says about our love for Christ.

• Paul’s pedigree, past persecution, and why trust came hard
• Hostility to the gospel then and now in 2025
• John 15 pruning and fruit as the measure of growth
• How to judge rightly and receive correction in love
• Stories of accountability that refine character
• Letting people walk away vs softening the call
• Choosing God over comfort, sports, and schedules
• Revival talk vs Monday obedience and discipleship
• Legacy, obituary, and finishing well in community

If you're in the Rockdale area, coffee and fellowship at 10am, service at 10:30 at the American Legion Hall, with kids’ church and nursery available

We explore the difference between churches that entertain versus those that challenge believers to grow spiritually. The Spurgeon quote about "clowns entertaining goats instead of shepherds feeding sheep" frames our discussion about authentic Christianity.

• Church isn't meant to be merely a motivational experience but a place for genuine transformation
• Many Christians "church shop" seeking places that make them feel good rather than places that challenge them
• Shifting from "I'm doing this for God" to recognizing God working through us
• Being pliable and open to God's direction even when it conflicts with our plans
• Acknowledging that all Christians are works in progress with flaws and struggles
• The importance of honest self-evaluation in our spiritual journey

Join us at Connect Church in Rockdale! We meet Sundays with coffee and fellowship at 10:00 AM and worship at 10:30 AM. Everyone is welcome!

We explore why Christians often experience slow growth in their faith journeys despite being "saved" for years, examining the difference between intellectual belief and heart transformation.

• Scripture reminds us "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
• Biblical examples like the woman at the well and the demoniac show immediate transformation after encountering Jesus
• Many Christians "spike the football" after baptism without continuing to grow
• True rebirth happens when we allow Scripture to transform our hearts, not just inform our minds
• Churches often focus on getting people saved without emphasizing discipleship
• Jesus shouldn't be an "add-on" to our lives but the transformer of our entire being
• Our past doesn't define us when we truly surrender to God
• External pressures from family, friends, and social media can hinder our growth
• The key difference: letting Christ capture your heart, not just your mind

Join us for worship Sundays at the American Legion in Rockdale (Carlisle Post). Fellowship with donuts and coffee at 10:00am, worship at 10:30am. Children's church and nursery available.
