  Most Christians are familiar with the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost but did you know there are other significances to this special day.  Long before the Holy Spirit descended on those early followers of Jesus, the Jewish people celebrated this holiday (also called "the feast of weeks").  In this message we take a look at three significant things celebrated at Pentecost and then we take a closer look at how some of the more obscure Old Testament laws are very much still relevant to us today.

Message three in our series "Do What Jesus Did".  This mini series is a part of our year long dive into the book- Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.  In this message we take a closer look at what the gospel is and how we can best communicate it to others.  

Speaker:  Pastor Dan Latta

  This is the first message in our five week series, Do What Jesus Did.  In this message we explore the Holy Spirit:  Who is is, where He lives, and how we tap into His power in order to live transformed lives.

Speaker:  Pastor Dan Latta  

  This message is an overview of the first 8 weeks we have spent going through the book Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.  This review allows those that are new to R&R church to get up to speed on what we have covered so far and it also provides a reminder for our regular attenders of what we have been committing to each week.  Each topic discussed in this message can be further explored by listening to the corresponding sermon from earlier this year.   

Speaker:  Pastor Dan Latta

 In this message we take a look at "The Messianic Secret" and how Jesus, upon His entry into Jerusalem, was finally boldly proclaiming to the masses that He was the promised Messiah.  We then look at how we can take the crowd's attitude of praise and apply it to our own lives this week.

Speaker:  Pastor Dan Latta

 In this message we start by looking at how Jesus uses parables to communicate his message.  We then do a deep dive into the parable of the dishonest (shrewd) manager in Luke 16 and strive to discern what Jesus is teaching in this very difficult parable.  

Speaker:  Pastor Dan Latta

  This message is week 1 of our 5 week series on the gospel of Luke.  In this message we explore how Luke, very intentionally shows in these first six chapters, that Jesus is no ordinary man.  We then zoom in on the story of the temptation of Jesus and we look at how Jesus modeled a way for us to overcome temptation in our own lives.  

Speaker: Pastor Dan Latta, Rose Sichel, and Josh Knauer

A spirited retelling of the events in the book of Esther.  We are doing our best to honor the longstanding tradition of retelling this story in Jewish Synagogues every year on the anniversary of the Jewish people's victory over the vile Haman and his plot to kill all jews.
