Rocky Creek Sermons

The religious leaders valued their preferential traditions over God’s doctrinal truth.  As followers of Jesus, we must ensure that we hold the Word of God as superior to the traditions of man.

Separated by chaotic elements, Jesus actually walked on water to reach the fearful in the boat and the needy on the shore.  There is nothing so powerful that can hinder Jesus from meeting us in our greatest needs.

As Jesus mourned the loss of His cousin, He sought solitude but was unable to obtain it due to His prioritizing of others’ needs ahead of His own.  When Jesus fed the five thousand, He demonstrated the powerful principle that compassion can never clock out.

When John the Baptist spoke out against King Herod’s personal life, it cost him his life. Speaking the truth rarely guarantees receiving the culture’s acceptance or approval.

Jesus was rejected in His hometown and prepared His disciples for similar rejection.  Through His example and instruction, we learn how we should respond when our message is unwelcome.

As Jesus journeyed to help a life and death situation, He was interrupted by a smaller problem and yet was able to address both of them.  Regardless of the size of our circumstances, Jesus is willing and able to come to our aid.

When Jesus delivered a man from demonic possession, the people had less acceptance of the deliverer than they had for the demoniac.  When Jesus threatens our comfort and affluence, we can seek to rid ourselves from His influence as well.

Jesus slept through the storms that terrified the disciples.  No situation is so great that Jesus can’t handle it.

Jesus taught parables to His disciples regarding how the Kingdom of God would grow.  As His disciples, we should continue to do our part and watch God cause the growth.

Jesus told a parable of a sower which taught how different people will respond to the gospel message.  As we share the gospel with others, we must be mindful of the reasons why some people never get it.
