This Week: June 15th, 2025
Have you ever felt like the whole world was against you? That everything you once did—the things that used to work—no longer seem to help? When we’re young, we often rely on resilience and energy to push through hardship. But as we grow older, that youthful strength fades, and we can no longer overcome challenges the same way. That’s why it’s vital to live with trust in the Lord. When we lean on Him first, He gives us the strength and wisdom to face what we cannot handle alone. True peace comes not from chasing our own desires, but from seeking God’s purpose for our lives. As CS Lewis notes in The Joyful Christian, "Aim at Heaven and you will get Earth 'thrown in': aim at Earth and you will get neither." God knows the longings of your heart, but the heart doesn’t always want what’s good for us. His vision for your future is far clearer than your own. When we seek Him, we find Him and receive both His grace and His peace.
This Week's Worship Service
When Asa became the King of Judah, he restored worship of the one true God. And because he had turned the nation from its sin, God blessed him. But when Asa began to rely on his own judgment God abandoned him, and he died afflicted and with his nation at war.
2 Chronicles 16:7-10

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.
