Church On The Rock St Augustine

It's safe to say most of us love comfort. We like things set just right, from the AC to the music to how church feels. But what happens when God asks you to step out of what’s comfortable? In this episode, the fellas talk about the difference between purpose and preference and how following Jesus often means saying yes when every part of you wants to say no.

When God created work, it wasn’t a punishment, it was part of His original design. Before sin entered the world, Adam was given purpose, creativity, and calling.

God invites us to see our everyday labor as holy ground, a place to reflect H...

Life comes at us with pressures of finances, unexpected challenges, and the temptation to look for security in what we have instead of who holds us. In this message from Wise Up: Wise Wallets, Pastor Josh reminds us from Proverbs 3 and Matthew 6 that the heart of the matter isn’t about money, buildings, or stuff. It’s about where our trust lies. God isn’t against us having things, but He is against things having us. True wisdom mea...

Life brings loss, trials, and plenty of reasons to lose heart, but God calls us to respond differently. In this message from Church on the Rock, Cynthia reminds us that even in the face of suffering, tragedy, and a culture that celebrates anger, we are called to anchor ourselves in the wisdom of God’s Word. Drawing from Proverbs and the timeless call to “What Would Jesus Do,” she shows how discipline, self-control, and joy in the L...

Wisdom sounds great until it comes packaged with discipline. Proverbs 1 opens with a bold call: if you want to know God’s will, you’ve got to know His Word.

At Church on the Rock, we’ve been praying Psalm 143:10: “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.” As part of our discipleship journey, The MOVE, we believe following God’s will means defending and uplifting “the least of these.” Poverty’s deepest wound isn’t hunger, it’s hopelessness. But through local churches, Compassion International is releasing children from pov...

What if the next generation didn’t just inherit our world, but our faith? Proverbs 22:6 calls us to guide them onto the right path and Judges 2 warns what happens when we don’t. This message is a rally cry to believe in today’s youth, call out their God-given potential, and invest in them like the future depends on it… because it does.

What if the middle of the year is actually the moment to start again?

In this message, Pastor Josh takes us into one of the most emotional scenes in David’s life— Ziklag. Everything is in ruins. The people closest to him are ready to stone him. And yet, somehow, David doesn’t break. He strengthens himself in the Lord.

What if the most powerful way to share the gospel isn’t a perfect argument but a personal experience? In this message, Pastor Josh closes out our Good News series by unpacking the story of the Samaritan woman and her unforgettable encounter with Jesus. It’s not just a story about wells and water — it’s about shame, identity, and what happens when you realize the Messiah knows your whole story... and still offers you living water.

Are you watering fruit instead of the root? In this episode, Pastor Josh and Trevor get real about the difference between doing for God and being with God. From hilarious cherry debates and lawn-mowing theology to vulnerable moments of parenting and spiritual performance, they explore how easy it is to focus on the fruit — our behavior, results, and routines — while missing the root, a deep relationship with Jesus.

What does it really mean to proclaim the gospel and not just live it? In this message from our Good News series, Pastor Josh walks us through 2 Timothy 4 with clarity, humor, and conviction, reminding us that the call to share the gospel isn’t just for preachers, it’s for all of us. Whether you're introverted, unsure of your giftings, or just wondering how to talk about Jesus without sounding weird, this message is for you. Get rea...

What do hot dog-scented hair, fanny packs, and the book of Revelation have in common? This episode. In Part 2 of our listener Q&A, we dive deep and laugh hard. From navigating spiritually mismatched marriages to breaking cycles of sin, staying humble while carrying the power of the Holy Spirit, and what we’d say to every 20-something trying to find their way, no question is off-limits. Vulnerable, practical, and just the right ...

What if God’s big plan to reach the world… is you? That’s what this message is all about. Not your pastor. Not a platform. You. Your life, your words, your response to pressure, fatigue, criticism, and everyday moments. In this message, Pastor Josh pulls back the curtain on what it really means to live the gospel — not just preach it, but embody it. We’re not just saved from something — we’re saved for something. You were made to b...

We’re answering your questions and not holding back. Pastor Josh and Trevor are back, tackling everything from awkward mic moments (yes, the cringiest things we’ve ever said on stage) to real-life spiritual questions. What do you do when life feels stuck? How do you navigate a storm that won’t let up? And is Jesus actually contradicting Himself in Matthew 5 and 6 — or is there a deeper truth we’re missing?

This one’s honest, pract...

What if the fruit in your life is not the goal, but the byproduct? In this week's message, Larry McCall shares an honest and heartfelt word about what it really looks like to live out the Gospel. Not with surface-level effort or performative faith, but with fruit that grows from the inside out — fruit like character, compassion, and faithfulness. Through John 15 and his own hard-won testimony, Larry brings the reminder that fruit i...
