Red Rocks Church Weekend Messages Red Rocks Church

Pastor Doug Wekenman addresses the topic of mental health and how we can view it from a Biblical context. When we trust in Jesus we can declare a ‘sound mind’ even when we don’t feel it because Jesus died to set us free! When the storms of life come we can cling to the promise of 2 Timothy 1:7 “for God has not given is a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.”

Pastor Shawn Johnson addresses the topic of Baptism and why it is important in our Christian faith. Baptism is not required for salvation, it is simply an outward expression of an inward change. There are three questions we can consider when it comes to the topic of baptism; "should I be getting baptized?", "who should I invite to a baptism service?", and "if I am baptized already, is there an area in my life God is asking me to be obedient?".

Pastor Shawn Johnson closes out our “I Am” series with a message on Jesus’ statement, “I Am the Vine.” He reminds us that there are practical ways to stay connected to God and therefore find purpose in our lives. When we pray, find God-centered community, and get into The Word we find ourselves closer to our Creator and we see the fruit of walking with Him in our lives.

Pastor James preaches on the sixth “I Am” statement in the Gospel of John where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, the life.” Jesus takes Thomas’s questions about ‘when?’, ‘where?’, and ‘how?’ and replies with a ‘who.’ All we need to do is look to Jesus. He can handle our doubts and our questions and He will lead us through those questions into deeper relationship and eternal life through Him.

Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that because of Easter everything changes! Our God is big and powerful but also close and personal. There is nothing He cannot handle and the promise of Easter is that because of Christ we can live in freedom. 

Jesus is our Good Shepherd and that means that not only does He care about us, but He walks with us through every season. Even in the darkest valleys of our life He promises we will never be alone.
