This Week: October 13th, 2024

Let us never be deceived into thinking that Jesus was meek and powerless.  Jesus was who He said He was.  He was God in the flesh and could have at any moment spared His own life, should he chose to have done it.   However, given the power He had, He instead withheld from those who deserved what He himself would endure.   This then should be the example we all follow.  We have the power to love and we have the power to hate.   We have the power to serve expecting nothing in return and we have the power to demand from those to whom we give.   If there is one lesson we ever take from the scriptures detailing Christ's life on earth is that He never considered Himself greater and instead reduced Himself to a servant.  Jesus gave to us all He could give and for that we should be thankful for in giving Himself, he paved a road to God that was blocked by our sin.   We will always be sinners but we can come to God cleansed of that Sin, thanks to a man who could have ruled the world, but deemed it necessary to see the world changed instead into a Kingdom pleasing to God.   The World may never value His sacrifice until He is revealed as the true King, but we can.  We can follow His example.  We can love where no love exists and we can serve where there is no service.

This Week's Worship Service

When Jesus was arrested, do not think for a moment that He was powerless against Him.  While the mass depended on Him, they also withdrew at the mention of 'I AM'.   He told them as much, that He was allowing them to arrest Him so that prophecy would be fulfilled.

John 18:1-11

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.
