A Place On Top

In this series, we have been learning to walk with Jesus: to walk in His love for us and for others; to both receive and to give.   We have been experiencing Jesus’ ministry, compassion, and forgiveness.

In this message, Jesus calls us to walk with Him.  This message contains two powerful words from God for this season; I believe these words will strengthen and encourage you. Let the Lord speak to you as you listen.

Enjoy!

Moved By Compassion

Jesus was led by the Spirit, but He was also moved with compassion.  Everything He did was in the power of the Spirit and done by faith; and everything He did was motivated, compelled, moved by a deep compassion for people.

As you listen to this message, you will discover how much God loves you and how He is moved with compassion towards you.  And the example of Jesus will impact you to walk as He walked and be moved with compassion towards people.

Enjoy!

 

Measure of a Disciple

The measure of a disciple is the measure of love; the measure of Christlikeness; the measure of trustworthiness; the measure of fruitfulness.  Everything Jesus did in His earthly ministry was done in faith by the power of the Spirit and always to serve people in love. The measure of a disciple is not faith, but love.

In this series we are learning to walk in love–both to receive Jesus’ love for us and to give it away to others.  Hear how Jesus loves and walk in that love.

Enjoy!

 

The Rock St. Louis is One Year Old!

Friends,

The Rock St. Louis is one year old! It is hard to imagine that we are celebrating our one-year anniversary this Sunday.  In this short period of time God has drawn people to Himself and formed a diverse community full of faith, hope, and love. He has caused us to grow little by little all year.  We have invited thousands of people, walked hundreds of streets, blessed scores of people.  And this is just the beginning!

We have witness God save, heal, and supernaturally promote His people.  We have been a bridge for people far from God and disconnected from church to find their way back home.  It is such a privilege to shepherd God’s precious, beloved people. It is such an honor and a joy to be in the Lord’s ministry.  And this is just the beginning!

We are being light in darkness, carrying the Cure to broken people, offering hope to the lost, revealing Jesus to our city; we have authority to declare life and blessing; we have the message that will set people free, restore their destiny, and release their calling. We are full of love for St. Louis—and this is just the beginning!

The church Jesus is building is the hope of the world!  What the world needs, what the world craves, is found in Christ, the Desire of Nations.

I am so grateful to all of you who have prayed, given, supported, encouraged, or served.   God knows what you have sown into this ministry and He will reward. God has provided everything we have needed. We have testimonies of God’s gracious intervention for our gathering place, funds for outreach, our ministry team, and so much more.  God’s favor has been upon us; we have lacked no good thing.  He has guided us every step.  He is our “Ebenezer” (check out 1 Samuel 7).  And this is just the beginning!

I want to invite you to celebrate our one year anniversary with us THIS Sunday, October 15 at 10am, 2017 Chouteau Ave. We are going to celebrate what God has done and what He will do. This Sunday is going to be full of vision and joy! We are also going to celebrate with dessert and a special gift for everyone. We have invited a powerful guest, Pastor Carl, to minister the word to us.  If you cannot be with us physically, celebrate with us in spirit.  We appreciate your prayers, encouragement and every gift you give to this ministry.  If you want to give financially, click here.

 

With much love,

-Pastor David

 

Meaningful Relationships

We’ve been discovering that when the Holy Spirit moves He not only saves, heals, grows the church and such; He also heals relationships, unites, and deepens intimate connection with God and others. This is the power of fellowship.  It is not something the world comprehends, nor something religion can manufacture.  It is something only the Holy Spirit can produce in us, the body of Christ.

This intimate, deep, meaningful, satisfying connection with God and people is what we were made for, what we all long for. As you listen to this message, let the Lord show you how He can produce this depth of unity in us–in our church, family, friendships and such.

Enjoy!

Becoming One

Friends,

Do you realize that Jesus died for the unity of the church!?  He didn’t only die for your personal sins, but our corporate ones as well–the ones that keep us divided and broken.  Jesus prayed for unity and paid for unity.  Why!?  Because He died to heal the whole person and the whole world which is knit together or torn apart by the quality of our relationships.

The unity of the church will be a light in darkness; will bring hope to families.  But unity is not something we can manufacture; it has to be produced by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Find out how in this message.

Enjoy!

Every Part

You are important, valuable; a piece of the whole, a puzzle in the big picture, a member of the body, an instrument in the orchestra.  God has a part for you to play, a role for you to fulfill, a gift for you to give to others.  You are called.

In this message, you will be encouraged and reminded that when every person does their part, God works through us to bring growth and impact. We can’t succeed in the mission God has called us to without every part doing its share. Let God show you what part you play, then do it.

Enjoy!

A Move of God

God is on the move in St. Louis!  We see the wave of the Spirit’s move and we are riding it.  As we start a new focus, a study in the book of Acts about the “power of fellowship”, we are positioning our selves for God to move in our lives, our church, and our city.

Hear how you can catch the wave and see God move in your life.

Enjoy!

Renew Me

Did you know your heart thinks?  Did you know faith reasons?  Our perspective can either limit or release our potential in Christ.  His word is true, His promises sure, His power available but our mind needs to be renewed in order to realize His will in our lives.  In the next message in “The Heart of the Matter” series, let God get to the heart of the matter in your life, transforming, healing, freeing you from the inside out by renewing your mind. Let God teach you to reason in faith and experience His supernatural power.

Enjoy!

 

Influence Me

The Lord is getting to the heart of the matter in our lives, to free, heal, and transform us from the inside out.  Proverbs 4:23 reveals that our heart is the source of our life.  The condition of our heart determines the outcome of our life.  What and who we allow to influence our hearts will shape our life.  Learning to cultivate and guard the truths of God’s word in our hearts is essential if we want to see the fruit of God’s word in our lives.  We must give attention and time to our hearts.  Listen and receive wisdom from the Lord; let Him get to the heart of the matter in your life.

Enjoy!
