This Week: March 16th, 2025
When you accept Christ as your Savior, something far greater happens than just the forgiveness of sins and a new way of life with Him as your guide. The very Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, comes to dwell within you (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), transforming your heart into a temple of His presence. This means that at any moment, in any situation, you have direct access to God—He is always near, ready to hear your thoughts, burdens, anxieties, failures, and desires. He is not a distant deity but a loving Father who invites you into constant communion with Him (Philippians 4:6-7).
Beyond the assurance of eternal life, this indwelling presence brings profound peace in the here and now. The Holy Spirit is your Comforter and Advocate (John 14:16-17), guiding you in truth and leading you along the paths of righteousness. As you surrender your life to God, your old self fades away, and you become a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). This transformation is not just a change in behavior but a deep renewal of your heart and mind, shaping you into someone who reflects God's goodness and grace.
This Week's Worship Service
We recognize that David was chosen by God but we also see, reading scripture, that David was a sinner. Like him, we need to seek God for our perfection because without God we cannot be made into the person He want's us to be. In today's scripture, David pleads to God to not abandon him. And God did not abandon him. Despite all that David had done, God's love for His children is evident. And then made permanent in the blood of the resurrected Christ.
Psalm 27:4-10

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.
