This Week: December 7th, 2025
Doubt is a natural response to the miracle of our salvation. Even now, some 2,000 years later, when we look back at the apparent improbabilities surrounding the fulfillment of the prophetic visions that foretold our coming Savior, we wonder how the early Jews missed it. But centuries had passed between those visions and Christ’s burial. In that long silence, man fashioned his own idea of what the Messiah ought to be, and so many missed His arrival because He did not measure up to the image they had created.
It is much the same when people hear the message of salvation today. From their perspective, it seems impossible that anyone would love them enough to pay for their redemption with His own blood. Yet the prophets were right. God delivered exactly what He promised: "He was wounded for our transgressions… and by His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).
He loved us that much. Don’t doubt. Accept this gift, and then demonstrate your gratitude by showing love to others.
This Week's Worship Service
Mary is a shining example of how we as Christians should receive the good news of the Gospel. She asked questions out of curiosity and awe, not out of doubt. She humbly accepted the path God had chosen for her, knowing it would be an arduous one. She welcomed our Savior to the world with open arms, embracing Him while others scorned him. In Luke 1:42, Elizabeth tells Mary, "'blessed are you among women.’" We can see the beautiful truth in her statement as we examine Mary’s story.
Luke 1:26-38

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.
