This Week: September 8th, 2024
Many politicians, philosophers, writers, entertainers, and musicians have espoused grand visions and ideas on how to solve the divisions and hatred in our world to create a utopian society of lasting peace. Usually these ideas result in a conformity of many to the culture and lifestyles of a few and align with things of this world. However, Jesus taught us a greater goal and that way of living. Imagine, waking up every morning and saying to yourself I only have two things to do today: love God and love my neighbor. Loving God is surrendering to His Son as your Lord and living your life according to His example. This means giving of yourself to others and considering others before yourself. Jesus gave us the ultimate example. That is that there is no greater love than that of laying down your life for your friends. Jesus did that. He loved us so much that He wants everlasting life for us and to take upon himself the penalty that denies us that future, Jesus gave us the best example to follow.
This Week's Worship Service
Christ teaches his disciples that they are no longer slaves, but friends of His and are to love others as He's loved them. This is a commandment we should all follow, knowing that in doing so, we will be at odds with the world. The world only celebrates those who live as the world lives. We follow a greater purpose than anything the world can offer.
John 15:12-17

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.
