Disappointment with Jesus
Romans 11:33-36 |
|
| |
Speaker: Dale Brubaker |
|
| |
To the woman at the well, Jesus promises living water that would satisfy her spiritual needs at the deepest level. But many of Jesus' closest followers were deeply disappointed in him. Come learn the sources and cure for disappointment from some of God's servants throughout the Scriptures.

A Mission of Grace
John 5:1-15 |
|
| |
Speaker: Dave Keener |
|
| |
Dave Keener will share with us: Jesus' love is absolutely amazing. We will explore together how Jesus does the unthinkable. Does loving God have anything to do with practical living? We will explore what makes Christianity so amazingly unique, and answer the questions: Does God love someone like me? Does he love me even if I don't respond to him as he desires? Jesus illustrated how loving God and loving your neighbor bonded together. Jesus demonstrated the sterling qualities of God's love and grace.

Jesus: So that they may be brought to complete unity...
John 17:20-23 |
|
| |
Speaker: Dave Lawlor |
|
| |
Come let’s explore God’s word of encouragement to us through the Gospel of John where he prays “…I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

Raised With Christ: Setting Our Hearts on the Things Above
Colossians 3:1 |
|
| |
Speaker: Dave Lawlor |
|
| |
During Holy Week we see through Christ’s example virtues exercised in the most trying of times. Jesus suffered in every conceivable way during this week and he did so willingly and because of the love He has for each of us. In response to His perfect work on our behalf let us consider how we can take up our crosses during this life as a living sacrifice in gratitude to Him that made life possible.

Grace for the Walking Dead
Genesis 3:17-24 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
At the end of the day there really are only two religions in this world: (1) There is the religion of fig leaves – which is the religion of works. (2) Or there is the religion of skins - the religion of God’s perfect provision through the death of Christ. Fig leaves or skins? Which are you covering yourself with today?

Judgment in the Garden
Genesis 3:14-16 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
God’s curse upon Satan meant that his own Son would one day become a curse for us. Satan would strike his heel, but the wound received would mean that the Son would strike a deathblow to Satan. Grace is rooted in Christ’s victory.

Where Are You?
Genesis 3:8-13 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
Adam and Eve, as our parents, were genetically, historically, and theologically every man and every woman who has ever lived. Adam and Eve are you and I. They are a paradigm of all of us - not only in their original sin - but because the way they tried to deal with their sin is – sadly - the same way we try to deal with ours today. But thankfully, the way that God dealt with Adam and Eve is the way He deals with us.

Paradise Lost
Genesis 3:1-7 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
The New Testament encourages us not to be unaware of Satan’s schemes. And our study in Genesis is packed with wisdom along these lines. Come to Rock Creek Church this Sunday as we learn from Adam and Eve’s fall that sin takes hold of our hearts when we begin to doubt two essential things: (1) God’s word and (2) God’s goodness.

Adam's Rib
Genesis 2:18-25 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
Matthew Henry once said that Eve was “not made out of (Adam's) head to top him, not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.” Come to Rock Creek as we take a closer look at Eve's creation out of Adam's rib.

East, In Eden
Genesis 2:4-17 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
The great temptation for all of us is to determine our wisdom apart from God’s word. This is intensified by the culture that we are surrounded by, which places its’ authority in the autonomous self. But as fallen men and women, our only hope is to trust in the word of God. What choice will you make?

The God Who Rests
Genesis 2:1-3 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
God designed there to be a rhythm to our existence: work and rest, activity and reflection, production and gratitude. God wants us to remember that we are eternal beings. God wants us to remember that our lives are about more than all we can cram into it between now and the grave. He didn’t design our lives to be lived at a frenzied race.

The Image of God - Part 2
Genesis 1:26-31 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
We can’t image God as He designed unless we have God’s Spirit dwelling in us as a result of trusting Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. And once we become Christians, the Spirit begins to recreate us into the image of Jesus so that we can relate rightly to our three, primary relationships: God, others and nature. Although no Christian will ever perfectly image God in this life, we are still called to live lives that evidence we are continually being renewed in the image of Jesus by obedience to the Holy Spirit’s movement in our lives.

The Image of God
Genesis 1:26-28 |
|
| |
Speaker: Pastor Michael Thomas |
|
| |
Why does the second commandment tell us not to make any images of God? God doesn't want His creatures to make images of Him because He has already created an image of Himself -- a living, walking, talking image: humankind. It's like God is saying, "If you want to see what I'm like, than take a look at my most greatest creature: humans."
