[Wasilla] Tough Love |7| "Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself" :: Paul Sliwa

Do you like when your skills, knowledge, or abilities are being tested?

Whether we like it or not, testing can be beneficial to gauge whether we really are as good at something or have as much understanding about something as we thought.

When it comes to our faith, the apostle Paul encourages us to regularly “test and examine our faith.” In Paul’s final words to the Corinthian church, we are going to discover what having a genuine faith is, and why it is so important for the life of every follower of Jesus.

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".

[Palmer] Tough Love |6| "The Cruciform Life" :: Jonathan Garland

[Wasilla] Tough Love |6| "The Shape of the Savior" :: Jonathan Walker

Jesus extends a terrifying invitation in Mark 8:34…“And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, Jesus said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”

In other words, the first two steps on the pathway to following Jesus are saying no my own desires that are contrary to Jesus, then letting my life be shaped by the sacrificial love of Jesus displayed on the cross. In other words, I’m invited to live a cross shaped life…the “cruciform” life.

This week we will be unpacking Paul’s words in 2nd Corinthians to discover why this matters and how we can do it!

[Palmer] Tough Love |5| "Resurrection" :: Josh O'Donnell

[Wasilla] Tough Love |5| "The Mystery of the Resurrection" :: Paul Sliwa

As we close out the book of 1 Corinthians this week, we will be looking at the most significant issue Paul is going to be addressing with the church in Corinth…

The resurrection of Jesus and the resurrection of the dead.

According to Paul, everything hinges on this reality for us as Christians, and so it is not only imperative that the Church in Corinth understood what it means, but that we to have a deep understanding of the resurrection because it quite literally changes everything!
