In week two of Kingdom Culture, Ronnie digs into what Kingdom Culture means and how we are led by the Holy Spirit. As we check our motivations and tendencies we can see our beliefs, and as we check the fruit of our lives we can see the ways that we ARE or ARE NOT walking with the Spirit. Ronnie reminds us that when our view of God gets bigger, our burdens and anxieties get smaller.

Shawn kicks off the Kingdom Culture series and reminds us that while the troubles we encounter here are real, we are citizens of Heaven and we are simply passing through Earth on our way to Heaven. This reality can give us strength and purpose through challenging times as we think “will ___ matter in 100 years?” Shawn reminds us that when we walk and talk with the Kingdom of Heaven in mind, we create Kingdom Culture, and we do this when we 1) pray for it, 2) look for it, and 3) live with it in mind.

For week four of Follow Me, Jimmy Rollins, the lead pastor of i5 City Church, joins the RRC family for an amazing weekend of church! Preaching from Luke 5:12-15, Jimmy reminds us that our greatest misery has the opportunity to become our greatest ministry.

In week three of Follow Me, Doug Wekenman from our Austin location preaches about the difference between two Greek words: Eidó (perceiving with our senses) and Ginosko (knowing by experience). Doug reminds us that life with God is something to be EXPERIENCED, not just something to be observed from afar.

In week two of Follow Me, Ronnie preaches about Jesus’ antidote for the struggles, anxieties, and stress we each carry during challenging seasons. Ronnie brings new clarity to Matthew 11:28-29 NIV “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Ronnie reminds us that we were never meant to carry the heavy parts of our life alone, and that Jesus is gentle and humble and that He wants to help us in each and every season.

In week one of Follow Me, Shawn Johnson reminds us that when you read the Bible you will see multiple people who 1) experienced what they did because they said YES and 2) they had the opportunity to say yes because they were LISTENING. Shawn opens up the series by asking: if a yes takes us closer to the miraculous provision of God, are you listening for your directive so that you can say yes to it? What is God calling you to (even if it doesn’t make sense)?

Andrew Matrone, the lead of Red Rocks Young Adults, speaks to the power of gratitude in our relationship with God. Through the story of the 10 lepers who were healed, and the one who returned to say thank you, Andrew reminds us that our gratitude impacts the restoration of our soul. When we return to God to give Him praise for what He’s done, gratitude allows us to not only combat the lies of the enemy, but to fully experience the life that God wants for us here.

In week three of Echoes of Eden, Doug Wekenman concludes the series by asking “what in the world is going on here” regarding the current world we’re living in today. Doug closes the series by driving the point home that Jesus was “the perfect son of God, who lived the perfect life, to die at the perfect moment, as a perfect sacrifice in order to perfect some very imperfect people...proving that good triumphs over evil in a story of sacrifice and unbreakable love.”

In week two of Echoes of Eden, Ronnie Johnson continues teaching from Genesis and digs into God’s intent for His world and for our lives in the garden. As we look at the choice that Adam and Eve made in accepting the forbidden fruit, we realize that we don’t have a sin problem, we have a deception problem.
