Sermon Podcast - Round Rock Church of Christ

What, exactly, is preaching for—and how should those of us who aren’t preaching approach it every week?

In this message, we’ll explore what God has to say about preaching in Scripture and listen as Justin lets us in on his personal approach and priorities as a preacher. We’ll also consider two things that will ensure that each week’s sermon is a great blessing to us.

Chewing and swallowing as an act of worship? Yes—and that’s not the only interesting thing about what we do every week when we share communion together. In this message, we’ll explore some of the many layers of meaning behind the Lord’s Supper.

So what's the deal with singing? Most adults hesitate to sing in front of anyone else, and yet God commands us to get in the same room, open our mouths, and go for it. As we'll see in this message, he has good reasons for doing so.

This Sunday we changed things up a bit by devoting some time to pulling back the curtain on RRCOC—in this message, you'll get to know the elders like you've never known them before, hear about the staff's different roles, find out how decisions get made, where our money comes from, why our church doesn't have more ministries, and more.Plus, there will be a gameshow. :)

This is our effort to help you know your church even better, so that you can love your church even more.

You may already know that God loves you. At least, you may know in your head that God loves you. But do you know in your bones that God loves you? When you shift from having not only a cerebral understanding, but a visceral understanding of God's love for you, things change--not the least of which is what you love. God loves you. What do you love?

What do you do when the task before you seems bigger or harder or more complicated than you can handle? It's a question we all find ourselves asking—and the answer is extremely important. In this message, we'll explore an interaction between Jesus and his apostles where He makes clear what we should do when what's to be done is just too much. Speaker: Justin Gerhardt

Too often, when we’re frustrated by our own behavior, we focus our efforts for improvement in the wrong place. Jesus called righteous behavior "fruit"—and more often than not, a fruit problem isn't just a fruit problem, it's a root problem. In this message, we’ll talk about how the intentional pursuit of change strengthens our rootedness and eventually bears some beautiful fruit. Speaker: Justin Gerhardt

Want to become more rooted? You'll need to test the waters with God. In this message, we'll talk about why trust will anchor and nourish you like little else.

Nothing will stunt your faith like isolation. In this message, we'll explore what happens when we connect meaningfully with a handful of people who are following Jesus. We'll also hear from someone who did exactly that, and how it changed everything.

Sick of trying and failing, feeling alone, or being stuck in destructive patterns? There’s a reason you’re struggling—and it doesn’t have to be that way. As we begin the series, we’ll explore what it looks and feels like to be without roots, and why it’s so important to pursue a different reality for ourselves.
