No one needs to hear from me, just to hear about me, my life, or anything about my past. rather they need to hear the gospel. If someone does hear about your own life, then it is only to point them to Christ, and Christ alone. He should be glorified, and not us. It's not about us at all, much less about our "success" The more Entertainment trumps the gospel, the more you have nothing to preach to a dying world, and you get this Jordan vs Lebron, irrelevant past high school stories, and silly secular music references. I pray for those that attend The Rock Church for God to open their eyes and ears to see and hear the lies being told, and that they may seek the truth, and glorify His Holy name, instead of man.
I think you are being too critical. We also have to bridle our tongues and let our speech be edifying that it may impart grace to the hearers. I was saved in this church. Delivered from pornography, drugs, alcohol, and being progressively delivered from my own critical attitude. God can work outside the box of how You personally think preaching needs to be done. Dont put limits on what God can do. There may have been a lost soul in this service who needed to be reached by a lebron joke in order to get his attention on the gospel. As long as the gospel is presented, you dont need to worry. Gods got this, sister.
Paul Flores I used to attend the Rock, and by Gods grace was brought out, so me saying I'm praying for those still in there is wrong how? The message was not the gospel, it was irrelevant talk. That is not harsh, it is true. There was no glorification of the Lord. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. 11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. 12 For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:9-12, ESV)
I know this passage. But he presents the gospel in this message. He also glorifies God. I urge you to watch the whole message. The gospel is not to be complicated. We overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb and power of our testimony. He also testifies of God's works. This message just like every other from this pulpit will minister to those who The Lord knows need it. See by faith, not by sight. As far as that passage, "another gospel" would be one that does not say to place your Faith in Jesus Christ. As far as youtube goes, Pastor Miles also ends each video with the simple gospel. I believe rock church is on top of it.
Everyone I know who leaves a church and continues to speak badly about it, its practically evident that the problem may not be the church but the perspective of the person who goes out of their way to watch and keep posting about the church🤔
I am not saying any of this to be mean to you. I love you sister. I also moved to the east coast leaving my old church rock church city heights. But have nothing but love and continual prayer that this body of believers continues to seek God, obey, save, equip, and send more in Christ to let their light shine bright and glorify our Father in Heaven.
That man Ruslan....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
