One of the most recognizable traits of Jesus was his habit of quoting Old Testament scripture. He did this with remarkable frequency, particularly when teaching. This trait illustrates the value and importance of truly knowing the Word to the extent that its relevance invades all aspects of life and human interactions. Jesus famously called on […]

The issue of when life begins should not be one of cold discussion, heated argument, or manipulating a political process. When we look at the scriptures, it’s clear exactly when life begins. What will we do with that truth? How will we act? What well of compassion will we draw from? 13 For you created my […]

One of the greatest parts about this mission to “go and make disciples of all nations” is that the Lord doesn’t just give us a commandment of something to do, He promises to do it with us! No matter how dark it gets, no matter how much it hurts, no matter the doubts or hesitations […]

The post As You Are Going… appeared first on Rockpointe Community Church.

It’s so easy to forget that we are uniquely gifted to handle exactly what God puts before us. The world distracts us and convinces us too often that we’re not good enough, nowhere near smart enough, and altogether ill-prepared to handle life’s challenges. But that is a flat-out lie! As followers of Christ, God lavishes […]

Without blemish…what does that really mean to us? For us? Jesus Christ has secured for us through the cross, through the resurrection, life forever with God in perfected, glorified spirits and bodies. How do we even wrap our heads around that? What’s amazing is that while we stand there in those perfected bodies, Jesus will […]

Even the most sincere follower of Christ struggles to put God first in everything at every moment. But this is not a surprise to Him. He knew this would be impossible for us to do without help. His help. So He gives us help by way of His Word, teaching us that by putting Him […]
