Sermons on Rock Bottom:

Rock Of Ages Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

If you want to make a way to anywhere be lasting, you make it with rocks. Jesus is the permanent way to God and eternal life, for He is the Rock of Ages. On Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

1776 was the year the United States of America was born. It was also the year one of the favorite hymns of all time was born, and that was Rock Of Ages. The author was an Englishman named Augustus Montague Toplady. He wrote 133 poems and hymns, but they were all forgotten. This one, however, ...read more

Rock Solid Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 5, 2022

Faithful people of every age have stood up and professed Jesus as their Savior and their Lord because of the foundation of their faith … the love of God as shown to us by His Son, Jesus Christ, becoming another stone laid atop many other stones.

[Note: The title of this series is "The Stony Path." Each sermon has a theme or uses the image of a stone. As the people come into church, they are given a stone to hold during the service. At the end of the service, they are asked to place their stones at the foot of a wooden cross ...read more

The Rock That Will Not Roll

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 30, 2022

People put their faith and trust in many things that will eventually fail. David found the ultimate Rock to trust in -- the Living God! Jesus Christ is the tested Stone God laid in Zion. His life, death and resurrection are the foundation you can build your life on.

Being human means living on a flood plain But when we build our lives on the foundation Jesus has given us we will make it through the storms that are always part of life.

The Rock That Broke

Contributed by Lee Houston on Nov 3, 2024

I accepted Christ many decades ago, and ever since, I have tried my best to love my neighbor as I love myself. Yet, there are times that I fail. That can happen to the best of us. It may be something we say or do that is stupid or not thoughtful or inconsiderate.

Building On The Rock Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 18, 2024

Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

Our message today picks up where we left off, where Jesus warned us about false prophets who are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (cf. Matthew 7:15-20). When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more

Rock Piles

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on May 21, 2023

Before returning to Galilee, Jesus goes back to the Temple grounds where He’s presented with a woman who’s been caught in the act of adultery. It's a seemingly lose-lose scenario for not only the woman but also Jesus.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this ...read more

Jesus The Rock Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 24, 2024

The Old Testament knows God as the Rock. But Jesus is also The rock. He is the only firm foundation to build our lives on. But we need to learn from the ancient Israelites. They were unfaithful and most were destroyed. We must not make the same mistake.

INTRODUCTION We’re in a series looking at descriptions of Jesus. The Bible is full of descriptions of God the Father, of Jesus, and of the Holy Spirit. Last week, we looked at one of Jesus’ descriptions of himself. He said, ‘I am the good shepherd’ [John 10:11]. We looked at what shepherds were ...read more

True faith is shown through obedient action to Jesus’ words, building a life that stands firm through life’s storms by relying on Him as our foundation.

Welcome, friends. Some of us walked in today with the week still clinging to us like rain-soaked coats—news that unsettled, bills that piled up, a diagnosis that won’t leave the mind alone, a loneliness that lingers even in a crowded room.
