Rocky Messages

As we continue our powerful series, “God With Us,” today’s message takes us into the heart of the valleys we all face in life—those moments of struggle, fear, and uncertainty. Drawing from Matthew 1:23 and Psalm 84, we explore how the valleys can become places of growth and transformation, where we come to know God’s presence more intimately. Whether you’re celebrating on the mountaintop or walking through a season of pain, this message is a reminder that God is with you, offering His strength and comfort. Let’s dig deep, set our minds on Him, and prepare our hearts to encounter His grace in every season.

Have you ever felt the ache of waiting—longing for something good that seems just out of reach? That feeling is at the heart of the Christmas story, a tale rooted in the hope and anticipation of God's people. For 400 years, during a period known as the Intertestamental Period or "The Silent Years," God’s people clung to a promise of a Messiah who would rescue, restore, and dwell among them. In this video, we’ll step into their shoes, explore the historical silence, and discover the profound truth of Christmas: the fulfillment of God's ultimate desire to be with us through the birth of Jesus. Join us as we unpack how this truth can transform our understanding of Christmas—and of God’s love for us.

Are you tired of chasing "more"? In today’s message, we dive into a counter-cultural truth: true richness isn’t about what we accumulate but about how we give. As we conclude the Be Rich series, we explore how the constant pursuit of wealth and possessions often leaves us empty, and how Jesus offers a better way—one rooted in generosity, trust, and seeking His Kingdom first. Learn how to flip the script from “me first” living to “seek first” living, discover the freedom of putting God first, and embrace a richness that earthly treasures can never provide. Join us as we explore what it truly means to live the Kingdom Dream over the American Dream.

Welcome to our new series, Be Rich! Many of us strive to get rich, but how often do we learn how to be rich? In this opening message, we explore a life-changing truth: you’re likely richer than you realize—but with wealth comes unique challenges. Drawing from Paul’s advice in 1 Timothy 6 and Jesus’ parable in Luke 12, we’ll uncover how wealth can shift our hope and foster arrogance, and why generosity is the key to managing its side effects. Join us as we rethink riches, discover how to trust in God over money, and take steps toward a giving plan that transforms our wealth into a blessing for others.

In this final installment of "The Raven and The Prophet," we delve into Elijah's journey—a powerful story of faith, fear, and renewal. Throughout this series, we’ve seen God prepare Elijah through trials, remind him of His sovereignty, and renew him after moments of despair. Today, we explore 1 Kings 19, where Elijah, overwhelmed by his circumstances, retreats to a cave. God meets him not with fire or earthquake, but in a gentle whisper, calling Elijah back to His purpose. Join us as we uncover the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness to face the uncertainties of the future.

In today’s message, we dive deep into a powerful story of faith, fear, and God’s relentless compassion. Pastor Amanda Rohrbaugh takes us through 1 Kings 19, where the prophet Elijah, after experiencing incredible victories and miracles, finds himself overwhelmed by fear and discouraged by his circumstances. We’ll see how Elijah’s story parallels our own struggles with anxiety, depression, and the need for renewal. Through Elijah’s encounter with God—in silence rather than spectacle—we’re reminded that God meets us where we are, often in the quiet moments, offering us rest, strength, and a renewed purpose. Join us as we explore how, in moments of overwhelming fear, God’s gentle whisper calls us back to hope, courage, and trust in His unchanging presence.

In this message, we’re diving deep into the epic story of Elijah as part of our series, The Raven and The Prophet. Join us as we look at how Elijah confronted the worship of false gods and reminded Israel of the one true God’s unmatched power. This isn’t just a lesson in history—it’s a call to examine our own lives. Are there things we prioritize over God, thinking they’ll bring happiness or security? In this talk, we unpack the danger of idols, modern and ancient, and reflect on God’s desire for our whole hearts. Whether you’re on a faith journey or exploring who God is, this message challenges all of us to put first things first. Elijah's story shows that only God can provide what false promises can’t. Let's stop wavering and commit fully to a life centered on Him.

In this video, we dive into one of the darkest times in Israel's history and witness the incredible story of Elijah, the prophet chosen by God to confront the corruption and idolatry of his nation. Through Elijah’s journey, we see a powerful message unfold about resilience, faith, and preparation in the face of hardship. Elijah’s life is marked by a series of transformative seasons – isolated pain, total dependence, and radical obedience – that God used to shape him into the leader he needed to be. Just as Elijah learned to rely solely on God, we, too, can find strength and purpose in the trials that test us. Join us as we explore how God often prepares us in solitude, provides in unexpected ways, and calls us to bold obedience. Elijah’s story is a timeless reminder that God can take even our darkest moments and shape them into a legacy of faith.

Parenting can feel like an endless cycle of long, exhausting days, but as any seasoned parent will tell you, the years fly by. In this final installment of our series "Parenting Is Easy... Said No One Ever," we dive deep into what love looks like in the context of parenting, guided by the teachings of Jesus and the Apostle Paul. We explore Paul's practical insights from 1 Corinthians 13, focusing on how love behaves when raising children: love is patient, kind, not easily angered, and it always protects. Along the way, we also tackle common struggles like frustration, selfishness, and balancing discipline with relationship-building. Join us as we learn to parent with the future in mind and make our relationships with our children a priority.

In today's message, we dive into Part 3 of our series, "Parenting Is Easy... Said No One Ever." Parenting is complex, but through biblical principles, we can find guidance. While the Bible offers countless examples of family dysfunction, Jesus and the New Testament lay a foundation for love-based parenting. We explore Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 13, focusing on patience and kindness, and how these virtues apply directly to raising children. We'll discuss how discipline should focus on restoring relationships rather than mere punishment. Join us as we navigate the challenges of parenting with love and wisdom.
