Rockville Church of Christ episodes

  • Family History (Matthew 1:18-25)
    Do you have some dirt in your family tree? Did you have any troubling
    childhood experiences? Do you feel doomed to follow in the footsteps of the
    worst vices of your parents? Matthew’s Gospel presents us with a “Genesis”
    of the human Jesus, and it’s full of scandal, trauma, and shame.

  • Fellowship and Encouragement (Philippians 1:1-11)
    We often skim through the greeting of a letter to get to the “meat.” But
    the greeting of Philippians 1 sets up the rest of the book. It’s a powerful
    example of Fellowship-Based-Encouragement. We briefly hit 10 principles of
    encouraging fellow Christians by walking through this text.

  • Responses to Questions: Part 13
    1. How do you explain Genesis 6:3 that says the lifetime of man will be
    120 years when Noah lived to be 950 and even later Abraham, Isaac,
    Jacob, and others all lived many years more than 120?  It seems that
    the 120 restriction wasn’t put into effect until the time of Moses.
    2. I believe in 1945 95% of the people believed and called on the name
    God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I believe in
    2018 40% of the people believed and called on the name of God the
    father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. What changed? The Lord
    is the same today, tomorrow, and forever. What changed?
    3. Can you expound on our responsibility to orphans and widows as stated
    in James 1:27?

  • Blessing Your Children (Genesis 49:22-26)
    Most of our pray for our families. But the biblical idea of “blessing” goes
    deeper. We explore Jacob’s blessing of his adult son Joseph to see if we
    can apply some principles in our relationships with sons and daughters of
    all ages.

  • Believing Thomas (John 20:19-29)
    Perhaps we’ve been unfair to Thomas. Thomas is not so different from the
    rest of the apostles. He just desired the experience of sense verification
    which they received first. But there are some powerful lessons here about
    the role of doubt in the journey of faith. In this sermon, we use 3
    accounts of Thomas in John’s Gospel to discuss outlook, courage,
    uncertainty, skepticism, and faith.

  • Wisdom, Might, and Riches (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
    Jeremiah 9:23-24 presents us with 2 trios - one describing what we have
    (Wisdom, Might, and Riches), one describing what we should do with what we
    have (Steadfast Love, Justice, and Righteousness). We take a deep dive into
    the terms used and what it means to know God.

  • Responses to Questions: Part 12
    Responses to the Following Questions:
    1. Please explain Isaiah 30:20 - “Although the Lord gives you the bread
    of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be
    hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them."
    2. According to 1 John 2:20 and2:27, I have received an anointing. What
    anointing did I receive? And who is the Him when it is “from Him”? Is
    this God the Father, God the Son, or God the Holy Spirit?

  • Elder Selection (1 Peter 5:1-5)
    We are initiating an elder selection process for our congregation once
    again. This sermon is an overview of the role of elders/shepherds/overseers
    in the Scriptures, focusing on their work, their qualifications, their
    motives, and their selection.
