Sermon Podcast - Round Rock Church of Christ

As Christians, we have a tendency to think being a follower of Christ is about toughing it out with clenched fists as we try to be perfect and keep the dark powers at bay. A life driven by fear. What if I told you there was another way? What if I told you these dark powers and our desire for perfection has been nailed to the cross? In this message, Randy Harris reminds us of Paul's words to the Colossians which speak truth for us today. We are called to give up fear and to play along to the music of God's grace knowing the victory is won!

What if we strove to think the way Jesus thought? This message explores the beautiful, upside down nature of the Gospel. A radically inclusive Gospel about a crucified Messiah who empties himself by taking the form of a slave in order to unify all people. Even more, this Messiah invites us to spend our life becoming who he has pronounced us to be: citizens of another world, the Kingdom of God.

In this message, Randy Harris explores Paul's simplest explanation of the Gospel which is by no means eloquent. In view of Paul's own experience of failure on his missionary journeys across Asia, Paul shares news to the Corinthians that is Good for the sum of us who feel incompetent in this life. With two words, Paul reminds us of our need to rely not on ourselves but on the God who raises the dead.

In this series of five short meditations members Jobie Williams, Eric Posadas, Stan Hartin, Duane Whitehead, and Matthew Woodrow share their personal experience with the character of an almighty, multi-faceted God.

God loves giving money to those who spend it wisely. But what does that mean? In this message, we’ll examine a story Jesus told to those who were tempted to love money--and we’ll find out what wisdom in the area of our finances looks like.

One of our greatest struggles with money and stuff is a constant thirst for more. It shackles us and keeps money squarely in the “curse” category for us. The solution, although difficult to pursue, is straightforward and entirely achievable: contentment. In this message, we’ll explore the nature of contentment and some practical ways to cultivate it in our lives.

We look to money for a lot of things: security, status, purpose. But there’s a problem with that: those are things only God can provide. Want to stop loving your money? Stop expecting so much from it.

Whether money is a blessing or a curse for you comes down to one profoundly important question. In this message, we'll explore what that question is, and how to (accurately) answer it. 

Out of everything that substantiated Jesus' claim to be King, there's one thing that stood (and continues to stand) above the rest: his resurrection. But can we trust that it happened? And what does that event 2000 years ago mean for us today?
