This Week: May 12th, 2024
Fear is a tool by the Evil One and scriptures are filled with how this tool is used to push us further from His presence. Anxiety, worry, fear... they place our minds on the obstacles in our lives but not the path forward with God at our side. God does use trials to harden our resolve to remain close to Him, because it is in those trials, we often reach out the most. But it takes a great deal of focus and faith to stay instep with God once the trial has passed. No longer focused on the obstacles that caused us to restore our relationship with God through daily prayer and mediation, we lag behind now not because of a trial but because there are none. When things are bright and sunny, we tend to return our focus to our own needs and not the will of God. Even though our intention is not to do so, it is human nature to harvest our blessings but not focus on the planter. So when trials come and go, God is still in control and desires a continual communal relationship. In good times and bad.
This Week's Worship Service
May 12th, 2024 - When the woman caught in adultery was confronted and her accusers attempted to stone her, Jesus made a stand on her behalf. He challenged her accusers to let whoever has no sin throw the first stone. Starting from the oldest to the youngest, they dropped their stones and went away. Astonished, the woman turned to Jesus and he instructed her to leave in peace and sin no more.
John 8:1-5

Who We Are
Rockvale Cumberland Presbyterian Church has been a landmark in Rockvale Tennessee since 1889 at a simpler time when church was an integral part of the community. Church members were family that leaned on each other in times of struggle and celebrated together in times of joy. This spirit lives on in our diverse congregation bound together by a love for Christ and for one another. Our motto is simple, 'Whosoever will, is welcome - just as you are', in the manner as Christ said 'Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.' We hope to see you this Sunday morning.
