Church on the Rock | Alaska

[Wasilla] Unhinged |5| "Rinse & Repeat" :: Jonas Mackey

A friend was just telling me about having several family members visiting here in AK for the summer. He purchased one of those enormous water floats designed for tons of people so they could enjoy it during their stay.

Towards the end of summer, the float developed a small leak but made it through their visit. Even though they had used it all summer long, the store they bought it from had a return policy stating they could still bring the float back if it was faulty, so they did.

In telling me all of this, his demeanor and tone suggested feelings of guilt even though the store's return policy clearly stated they basically expected him to return the product. 

This week, we are getting into God's "return policy", learning to live in His grace, His freedoms, and why we don't need to go back to living like we did before His adoption of us that Pastor Jonathan spoke about last week. Christ exchanged His life for ours and His grace for our guilt.

The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

[Wasilla] Unhinged |4| "Forever Family" :: Jonathan Walker

Let's be real, nothing has shifted my understanding of God's love like stepping into foster care and adoption. It took me out of my comfort zone and showed me what it really means to love like the Father. And here's the crazy part:

According to Galatians 4:4-5 that's exactly what God did for us. He didn't just rescue me. He adopted me. Gave me His name. Brought me home. I didn't earn it. I couldn't deserve it. But now, because of Jesus, I'm not just forgiven... I'm family.

This week in Unhinged, we're diving deep into what it means to be adopted by God and why that changes everything. Come ready. This one hits different.

The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

[Wasilla] Unhinged |3| "Alluring & Appalling" :: Jonathan Walker

I saw a reel on Instagram recently (don't judge me) of a sheep being rescued from a ditch it had gotten stuck in. With great effort and intention, the farmer pulled it out only to watch it leap a few yards further down the row and jump right back into the same ditch! Although it is a rather funny video, it is also a vivid picture of the ways in which we get ourselves back into trouble spiritually only moments after being rescued by Jesus.

This week in our "Unhinged" series, we will discover that often the most dangerous places for us can look deceivingly good to everyone around us...and yet we may die in the ditch.

The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".
