The Rock Family Sermon of the Week

We explore how to live faithfully in a culture that elevates emotion and speed, and how humility, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit form a wiser response. We share tools for discernment, spiritual practices that reorient desire, and resources to keep growing.

• Three reactions to pressure and a Spirit-led fourth way
• Ethos, pathos, logos explained with John 1 implications
• Truth versus lies as the core spiritual bat...

We trace Israel’s return through Ezra and Nehemiah to a clear charge: protect the house. Vision invites opposition, so we set our homes in order, refuse culture’s half-truths, and choose prayer over performance as we build and defend together.

• Identity, purpose and holy responsibility after exile
• Home before church: Christ, spouse, children, then ministry
• Culture’s lies, distractions and discernment
• Neh...

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...

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 resi...

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 d...

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 t...

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 competin...

We call out the habit of delay, walk through Haggai’s charge to “consider your ways,” and show how Acts 6 gives a model where structure sustains the Spirit. The aim is simple: move from paneled comfort to kingdom building, together, today.

• Presence, formation, and kingdom as our framework
• Haggai’s sixteen-year pause and God’s rebuke
• Misalignment, exhaustion, and “bags with holes”
• Go up, bring wood, and ...

We trace Ezra’s blueprint, Babylon’s fall, and Daniel’s courage to show why formation—not hype—keeps a house standing. We call people to rebuild altars, deepen foundations, and get set on the Rock so families can endure storms with clarity and peace.

• Build the house as personal responsibility rooted in Scripture
• Presence before projects—rebuild the altar first
• Babylon’s river rerouted as a warning about negle...
