The Rock Church of Fenton Sermons

In the beginning God had a plan for mankind and a plan for marriage. What has the world done to that plan and how does it look different in today's world. Marriage represents something so much greater than just a piece of paper or some regal requirement. Let's look to God's Word to see how things should be.

Are all Christian are commanded to go and make disciples?

Jesus warned the disciples that they would soon be scattered and leave Him alone. There are times in our own lives when we are scattered and choose to deny our Lord. However, Jesus also promised them that they could have peace only in Him. Though they would be troubled by the world, He had come to overcome the world.

Jesus said we can ask anything in His Name and God will do it when our petitions are according to His will. We can only be heard by The Father because Jesus has given us access by His blood and we have been brought near to God. Those who do not believe that Jesus possesses the fullness of God and has come forth from The Father are not saved from the wrath of God an

Jesus said, “A little while , and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.” While the disciples would weep and lament at the crucifixion, the world would mock Him. But the tables would soon turn on those that opposed Him. The Word of God still warns people today who stand in mockery rather than repentance.

Jesus said that if the world’s hates you, that it hated him first. The fallen world truly does hate genuine followers of Christ. They hate you because you are the light that exposes their deeds of darkness. They hate you because you represent God and they hate God and love their sin. This kind of hostility is a fulfillment of prophecy about the heart of man in his natural state.
