Red Rocks Church Weekend Messages

In week 2 of Kingdom Builders, Doug speaks about unexpected generosity and the way that in ministers to our own hearts when we give. Undoubtedly 2020 has handed us fierce trouble and intense pressure, but surprisingly those two things are not specific to 2020. We read about these things in the Bible, and these two elements often push the Church into its finest hour.

In week 1 of Kingdom Builders, guest speaker Craig Groeschel (Lead Pastor of Life.Church, based in Oklahoma) introduces the basics of generosity. While a fear-based model of spending looks like "we consume, we lack, and then we fear," a generosity model looks like "we give, God multiplies, and then our faith grows." Craig breaks down what the "tithe" is and why it's important in our faith journey, and he also shares stories of God's provision over the years in his life and in the life of his home church.

This weekend Shawn reminds us that even in seasons of uncertainty, God has a plan for your life. We were never promised a calling from God that does not include difficulty, and this year has made it clear that we need to persevere through some challenging things. Instead of focusing on others' criticisms, or our own negative thoughts, we need to focus on what God thinks of us and be reminded that He made us on purpose for a purpose. *Mature content: please be aware that this message includes someone's story involving suicide and a violent mental break, so we want to let you know about the content before you push play.

This weekend Doug digs into the questions and doubts we've each had, at one time or another, regarding God. The disciple Thomas gets a bad reputation for his doubting of Jesus' resurrection, but God is a big God who can handle our doubts and our concerns. Just like with Thomas, God meets us in our doubting; He's not put-off or disappointed by it.

This weekend Ronnie talks about 'how it started' and 'how it's going,' and the space between those two realities. It's that blank space, the trials and pitfalls, that can reveal God's presence and nearness to you. Whatever your 'blank space' is, Ronnie reminds us that the most necessary thing in our lives is God's presence; not the loss of a title, a role, or a dream in our season of waiting.

In the final weekend of Kingdom Culture, Shawn preaches an amazing message all about the unnecessary shame that we carry. Many of us don't realize that we carry our shame around wherever we go, and it gets in the way of our lives and our relationship with God. While we look at ourselves through the lens of embarrassment, regret, or shame, God looks at us and He sees his CHILD, who He LOVES!

In week ten of Kingdom Culture, Andrew Matrone speaks to those of us who feel like our expectations do not match our reality; we look around and we don't see the things that we envisioned for ourselves, or the things we've prayed for. In the midst of the frustration and waiting, Andrew reminds us of a few truths: God honors movement. Don't let your season of waiting be a season of wandering. And it is important to continue taking steps towards the things that God has put in your heart, even as you wait.

In week nine of Kingdom Culture, Ronnie speaks about our 'calling.' This can be a stressful topic for many of us, as we sort through our giftings, strengths, and the way we are wired to work. But Ronnie reminds us that our calling is actually to a person, not to a specific profession. So if you've been chasing a career path to pursue your calling, you can rest easy today. The closeness of your relationship with God allows you to walk in your calling every day, regardless of your employment or profession.

In week eight of Kingdom Culture, Doug Wekenman breaks down a well-known Bible story that makes many of us uncomfortable. Through this message Doug reminds us that living as a Christian isn't about religion or about following the rules, it's about a relationship with Jesus. When we reorient our perspective to focus on the person of Jesus, we can anchor our Kingdom Culture on Him, and that is a solid foundation for life.

In week seven of Kingdom Culture, Shawn talks through how we can battle anxiety, depression, and fear with a powerful tool: thankfulness and remembering what God has done in the past. From Psalm 9, Shawn gives a powerful battle cry for each of us as we work through our biggest fears and struggles. Remembering God's victories in the past allows us to place His power in front of our fears, even in the midst of life's most intense storms.

Jimmy Rollins, lead pastor of i5 City Church, brings a powerful message for week 6 of Kingdom Culture! What do we do when the 'hits' in life keep coming and we can't seem to get ahead or move forward through adversity? What can we learn from the women and men in the Bible whose desperation caused them to seek Jesus in a whole new way? Jimmy shares a message that is timely and powerful for anyone who needs some encouragement to get back up and keep fighting.
