This Week: October 6th, 2024

We often forget that when Jesus died for our sins, he did more than just sanctify us before God so that we can have eternal life, he secured a conduit between God and ourselves in this life, that we may pray to Him and He would listen.   Coming to God is not something we have to wait for.  We have His ear today, in every moment, right now.   We should never feel that we need to 'clean up our act’ or develop eloquent prose to speak to God.  We can talk to Him as we talk with a friend and through Christ, He will listen and engage.   We also do not need to wait until the day is through to pray to Him.  We can pray earnestly whenever and wherever we are.  Whatever compels us to pray, whether it be anxiety over a difficult situation, a decision we must make, or a for gratitude for some blessing we’ve received, a strong prayer life is one of the best ways to stay in time with our Lord and understand the will He has for our lives.  He is a partner in this walk, and often He carries us when needed.   It is a wonderful gift that Jesus gave us.  Don’t let it go to waste.  Use it.

This Week's Worship Service

Prayer is not just speaking words to some distant God far away.   In today's scripture, Jesus illustrates that we are coming to God, in a personal way, confident that God hears our prayers and interacts with our lives.  This is because Jesus tore down the barriers between us and God through His blood, shed for the remission of our sins.   It is a great blessing to be able to come before the Creator of all things for whatever our needs may be so we should take it seriously and covet this relationship.

John 16:16-20

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.
