In this episode, Tim and Pastor Rob talk through Week 2 of Unstoppable and ask what it looks like for the church today to reflect Jesus in a way people can actually see.

Why Are You Looking for Life in Dead Places?

We've all done it. We go back to places, habits, thoughts, and struggles that have never truly given us life, yet we keep hoping this time will be different. In this episode, Pastor Rob explores the question the angels asked at the empty tomb: "Why do you look for the living among the dead?" Together we'll talk about why we keep returning to dead places, what the empty tomb means for everyday life, and how resurrection power can change the way we live right now. If Jesus is alive, then hope is alive. Freedom is available. And your story isn't over. 🔗 Connect with Christ The Rock Church: https://linktr.ee/ctrfallriver [https://linktr.ee/ctrfallriver]

Unstoppable, Week 1: Empowered | Acts 1:1–11 What happens when ordinary people are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit? In this first episode of our Unstoppable series, Pastor Rob and Tim unpack Acts 1:1–11 and explore Jesus' final instructions before His ascension.

Why Jesus Came Near! Do You Believe?

Show Notes In this episode of The Rock Sermon Podcast, Pastor Rob continues the I Believe series with a look at one of the most powerful lines of the Apostles’ Creed: Conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. This isn’t just a Christmas phrase. It points us to the miracle of the incarnation, God becoming man and coming near to save us. Pastor Rob talks about why the virgin birth matters, why Jesus had to be fully God and fully man, and how Mary’s surrender still challenges us today. In this episode: Jesus came by the power of God Jesus entered real humanity to represent us Because God came near, we respond with surrender Why the supernatural parts of Christianity matter Why hidden obedience still matters to God If God came near in Jesus, then our response is trust, worship, honesty, and surrender.
