Rocky Creek Sermons

Out of the 613 commandments in the Old Testament, some religious leaders wanted to know which one that Jesus thought was the most important.  Not only did Jesus provide His top two commandments, but He summarized them all and gave His followers a simple direction for all of life.

People wanted to know what Jesus believed about the status of marriage in heaven. Jesus emphasized that what we receive in heaven will be greater than what we take with us to heaven.

Trying to trap Jesus in His words, His enemies collaborated in an attempt to force Him to choose a side between God and government.  Jesus’ response teaches us what our commitment to both should be.

As the opposition to Jesus increased, He told a parable foreshadowing what would happen to Him on the cross. Just like those opponents, anyone who rejects Jesus rejects the Father who sent Him.

As soon as Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He intentionally targeted the religious community. Followers of Jesus must continually evaluate if we are fulfilling the call He has placed upon us.

A rich young man wanted to follow Jesus, but he loved his possession too much.  We must be careful that our riches don’t rob us of following Jesus.

In a time when children were viewed as distracting annoyances, Jesus intentionally prioritized them.  Not only should we prioritize children, but we should start acting like them when it comes to the Kingdom of God.

Jesus was questioned regarding the nature of marriage and the opportunity for divorce. When an eternal God puts something together, it should last forever.
