This Week: May 3rd, 2026
When God rested on the seventh day, it was not because he was tired from all the work it took to make us and the world around us. It was because the work was completed. We were created for His pleasure, and the Sabbath was there for us to rest in the peace of completion. We were created for His joy, but Sin kept us from that relationship. Today, however, we celebrate and worship Sabbath because the restoration of that relationship was completed by Jesus when He took the punishment of our sin and paid for our forgiveness by His own blood. He brought to an end our death, and through Him we live with God. It is something worthy of a pause in the busyness of our lives to reflect on how incredible this gift is. We didn’t ask for it, but we needed it, and God wanted it for us because He doesn’t want to be apart from us. Some people claim God is an angry and reprimanding God, who demands nothing less than perfection. To be righteous as He is. But perfection is impossible for us, so he accepted the blood of His own son to atone for that which separates us from Him. How can a God that does this not love us completely?
This Week's Worship Service
The Sabbath day is not as important as a Sabbath rest. It is more important to believe in God and His word to enter a place of peace no longer burdened by disobedience from that which governs us and keeps us apart from Him.
Hebrews 4:1-7

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.
