    Vision Sunday | Pastor Josh Hersey | January 2026

    Vision Sunday is always a moment to pause, look back with gratitude, and look forward with clarity. In this message, Pastor Josh reflects on what God has done over the past year at Church on the Rock and where He is leading us next. From lives changed and baptisms celebrated to missions expanded and new discipleship pathways formed, this isn’t a story about numbers or growth for growth’s sake. It’s about faithfulness. Drawing from Matthew 25, Psalm 143, and Jesus’ compassion for the crowds in Matthew 9, we’re reminded that fruit is always the result of faithfulness and that God entrusts more to those who steward well what’s already in their hands. As we step into a new year, this message calls every person to take personal ownership of discipleship. Discipleship is not something done to us; it’s who we are. You’ll hear why we’re launching Thursday night services, how this creates space for our plus ones, and why 100 percent participation remains our primary goal. Whether you’re new, returning, or have called this church home for years, this message invites you to ask a simple prayer: “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God.” If we remain faithful, we trust God to bring the fruit, together.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Church Online | Sunday 12.28.25

    What if the space between Christmas and New Year is not something to rush past, but an invitation to slow down, breathe, and listen? In this online only service, Church on the Rock pauses the noise and the pressure to remind us why Christmas is still merry even when life feels complicated. The story of Jesus was never polished or easy. It was filled with obedience, disruption, loss, fear, and hope colliding in real human lives. And yet, right in the middle of all that tension, Jesus entered the world as the greatest gift we could ever receive. This message connects Christmas to Easter and reminds us that our hope is not rooted in circumstances, but in a Savior who conquered sin, death, and the grave. As we stand on the edge of a new year, this message calls us into a posture of surrender and trust, praying like David, God teach me to do Your will and lead me forward. It challenges us to think differently about 2026 by leaning into spiritual rhythms, community, serving, generosity, and investing in the next generation. Whether you are tired, hopeful, uncertain, or ready for a fresh start, this service invites you to start the year with your yes on the table and your roots planted deep in God, believing that when our trust is in Him, we can flourish in every season.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Unexpected Change | Pastor Josh Hersey | Why So Merry

    Christmas is often painted as peaceful and predictable, but the true story of Jesus is filled with disruption, urgency, and unexpected turns. In this message from the Why So Merry? series, we step into Matthew 2 and the overlooked tension of the Christmas story, where Joseph is forced to uproot his family overnight to protect the very Messiah he was entrusted with. Through Joseph’s immediate obedience and willingness to follow God into unfamiliar territory, we see a powerful picture of how God often works through unexpected change rather than around it. Loss, transitions, new callings, and sudden shifts are not interruptions to God’s plan, they are often the pathway through which He leads us.   Did you accept Christ today?

    The Pain of Loss | Pastor Josh Hersey | Why So Merry?

    Christmas is not just a feel good story about lights, songs, and a baby in a manger. It is a real story that stepped into real pain, real loss, and real human grief. In this message, we slow down and look beneath the surface of the Christmas narrative to see how the birth of Jesus collided with broken lives, political fear, and unimaginable sorrow. From Mary and Joseph’s costly obedience to the heartbreaking reality of loss surrounding Jesus’ arrival, we are reminded that Christmas has always carried both joy and sorrow at the same time. This message speaks directly to anyone who finds the season heavy, confusing, or painful and wonders how it can still be called merry.   Did you accept Christ today?

    The Books That Built Our Year

    In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, we look back at the books that didn’t just inspire us, but marked us. From the quiet ways God meets us in different seasons to the strange timing of a book that lands right when your heart needs it, we talk honestly about what shaped us this year and why certain pages linger long after you close them. The guys laugh about Christmas movies, hunting trips, Taco Bell gift cards, and old-school black and white films, but woven through all of it is this simple truth. God uses books to form us, steady us, and sometimes expose places we didn’t even know needed attention. We talk about Practicing the Way, Sacred Pathways, Fathered by God, what pulls us into a book, why some books miss us, and why others rearrange us in the best way. If you’re stepping into a new year wanting to grow, reset your rhythms, or just start with one good book, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a sense of direction for your own journey. Grab a seat, laugh with us, and maybe discover your next read.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Relationship Problems? | Pastor Josh Hersey | Why So Merry?

    Sometimes Christmas looks like lights and laughter and mistletoe, and sometimes it brings the parts of life we do not talk about until we have to. In this message we take a deeper look at Joseph and discover what to do when relationships are complicated, tension rises, and you feel the pull to react instead of respond. Joseph shows us a man who faced confusion, disappointment, and a story that made no sense at first, yet he chose obedience and honor in a moment that could have wrecked everything. His life gives a picture of how God forms us through the people around us, even the difficult ones.   Did you accept Christ today?
