Many people think that Christmas is only about finding (and receiving) the perfect present. And, in one sense, that is correct. In John 3:16 we read, "For God so loved the world that he gave…" God’s gift to humanity is His son, Jesus. In this final message of our Christmas series, we'll discover four reasons why Jesus is the perfect gift to the world (and how you can receive it — Him).

The Gift of God

We often say that Small Groups are the heartbeat of The Rock Church and that God has built His Church here in Utah (over the last 20 years) using them. In 2020, the pandemic and this world’s unrest, have made it more and more difficult to do “life" in close relationship with others. Isolation and being alone is encouraged and in some ways, the norm. We believe, now more than ever, that we need each other. Even though Small Groups may appear a little different than before, they are still the heartbeat of our church. Hebrews 10:23-25 clearly spells out a time tested plan for God’s Church. We'll look at three reasons life is better in Small Groups.

As the long wait for the promised Messiah comes to an end, we look at what the prophets foretold about Him long ago. We also see what the angel Gabriel announces to Mary about the child she is going to bring into this world.

In Part One of our Christmas series, we’ll look at three ways to find Christ in Christmas through the Promised Messiah. On the first leg of our treasure hunt, we’ll look at the story of Abraham and God’s promises to him. From there, we'll uncover more of what it means to believe in God.

In the movie, Dead Poet's Society, a professor at an all-boys boarding school challenged his students to live extraordinary lives — to go beyond the status quo. The famous phrase from that movie was carpe diem, which means seize the day. I believe that is the message Jesus has for our Church and in our own lives. Jesus longs for us to make the most of the opportunities He has placed before us. No matter what difficulties, challenges or irritations we may be facing — God wants us to make the most of them all. Will you seize the day?

In Part Five of our Letters to the Church series, we look at Jesus' words to the church in Sardis. Jesus doesn't commend this church but immediately corrects them. His warning is instructive for us. What (in our life) is lulling us to sleep spiritually? Conversely, we also see in these verses, incredible promises for the Believer who overcomes.

When Jesus speaks to the churches in Revelation, He says that He wants a church that holds tightly to Truth and love. He wants a church filled with compassion and conviction — one that loves AND holds fast to His Word. Jesus’ words to the church in Thyatira remind us that though Christianity begins with tolerance, it must move to repentance and change. WE MUST LOVE JESUS THE MOST.

In this second part of our Letters to the Church series, we see Jesus' letter to the church in Smyrna. He commends these Believers for devotion in the midst of suffering. Jesus also encourages them and motivates them to remain faithful to the very end.

In this first part of our Letters to the Church series, we see Jesus' words to the church in Ephesus. He commends this church for many of the things we should be doing in our lives. However, Jesus also warns them of something that could derail their...

In the last 12 verses of the gospel of Mark, the writer warns us about the foolishness of unbelief and encourages us to genuinely believe the good news about Jesus. As we conclude Mark’s gospel, we will take a deeper look at biblical belief and...
