The Rock Family Sermon of the Week

Build The House | Wisdom & Humility In Christ - Pastor Scott Silcox

We call out the tension between Christ and culture and show why humility is the doorway to wisdom that rebuilds lives, families, and communities. From Proverbs 9 and James 3, we outline the pillars of wisdom and confront four common excuses that keep us passive. •Fframing the Build the House vision through humility and wisdom • Pathos versus logos and why “winning people” beats winning arguments • The seven pillars from James 3 and how humility grants access • Inspecting motives and choosing peace, gentleness, and mercy • Rejecting favoritism and embracing authentic faith • Rethinking time, calling, and equipping for service • Practical pathways to serve foster families and local ministries • Living from a seated place with Christ before acting

Build The House | Standing Firm In Faith - Pastor Britt Silcox

We follow Ezra through anxiety, fasting, and a risky journey with sacred wealth, then pivot to a piercing call to reject syncretism and return to Jesus as Lord. Practical steps help us guard the garden at home, in marriage, and in singleness, ending with consecration and a fresh filling of the Spirit. • Ezra’s fasting, humility, and strategy under pressure • Stewardship lessons from weighing sacred wealth • Faith decision to refuse royal protection • Syncretism defined and unmasked in modern forms • The “compassion gospel” versus love with truth • The “me gospel,” lordship, and daily presence with God • Power and policy idols alongside justice idolatry • Guarding the garden in marriage, parenting, and home life • A vision for singles: undivided devotion and holy purpose • Corporate repentance, consecration, and fresh filling of the Spirit

Build The House | A Holy House Without Compromise - Pastor Rusty Nelson

We unpack Ezra 4’s subtle trap—when adversaries ask to “help” build—and why holy separation protects purpose, favor, and joy. We call listeners to renewed minds, deeper abiding, and a witness shaped by truth and love, not cultural pressure. • The Ezra 4 invitation to mix and its hidden danger • Separation as sanctification, not superiority • Identity as carriers of glory from glory to glory • Renewed minds resisting cultural molds • Jesus as fully God and fully man, shaping self-understanding • Your body is the temple, and worship is a whole-life posture • Abiding over striving, producing fruit and joy • Guarding your voice from causes that breed hatred • Grace received internally versus law achieved externally • A call to rebuild the house without compromise

Build The House | Building The House Together - Pastor Scott Silcox

What if revival depends less on our sprint and more on our surrender? We explore how true renewal begins with repentance and gains strength when generations choose one another: elders who shepherd by example and young leaders who carry holy fire with humility. From Rehoboam’s divisive bravado to Jesus’ gentle yoke, we contrast leadership that fractures with leadership that heals. Then we stand with Ezra at a new foundation, where tears of regret and shouts of joy collide—a picture of monument meeting movement and a blueprint for building a church that lasts. We share a practical, lived model of generational partnership: passing the “hammer” of wisdom and the “nail” of vision so the next frame actually holds. Peter’s counsel in 1 Peter 5 sets the tone—willing shepherds, humble learners, shared burdens. Legacy is not built by speed but by surrender; not by titles but by motives. When elders give access instead of guarding relics, and when the young receive correction without losing fire, the house grows stronger. This is how families stabilize, marriages endure, and a city feels the warmth of contained, purposeful flame. You’ll hear clear takeaways you can practice this week: choose Christ’s easy yoke over pressure and posturing; honor the sacrifices that brought us here while investing in the movement that takes us forward; and make humility your default so grace can do its deepest work. If you’re ready to help build a church the gates of hell can’t shake, lean in with us—bring your tool, share your story, carry some weight, and make room for someone younger at your side. If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so more people can find the message. Then tell us: what part of the house will you help build this week?

Build The House | Dwelling In His Presence - Pastor Christian Lake

We trace Ezra 2’s genealogy to show how God keeps promises in detail, how exile shapes identity, and why building God’s house still begins with His presence. We challenge counterfeit labels from culture, address disappointment in service, and invite a fresh return to worship in spirit and truth. • God’s calendar through Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles as a frame for presence • Babylon as culture naming us and competing identities to resist • Mordecai’s name as a sign of false labels carried into the rebuild • The Levites’ low return and why satisfaction must not govern contribution • Samaria’s mixed story, missing Prophets, and Jesus’ way to minister hope • True worship moved from mountains to hearts—Spirit and truth • Practical call to bring what’s missing and build, not spectate
