This Week: August 30th, 2026
It has been said that life is a marathon not a sprint. Our lives will be full of peaks and valleys. When we’re climbing out of a valley, the peak can seem so out of reach, but we can never lose sight of the destination that is life after this one. A life when we will no longer grieve or hurt or grow weary. Look to scripture and you’ll see the 'great cloud of witnesses’ the Hebrew writer spoke about. Men and women who faced hardships but remained obedient to God, placing their focus on Him instead of the obstacles the world threw at them. They appear in scripture to show how to be faithful even in the midst of trials and our own weaknesses. The greatest example we have is Christ Jesus, who was just as human as He was God. No matter what He was faced with, He remained obedient to His purpose all the way to His death on the cross. Now we have in Him the perfect example. Even though we can never fully meet his example, He carries us the rest of the way and cleanses us of the weaknesses that prevent us from a destination that we don’t deserve.
This Week's Worship Service
The Christian life is not easy, but the scriptures are full of people that were as imperfect as we are. These flawed people still demonstrated great faithfulness and obedience. We know through their examples that God can choose who He pleases to demonstrate His love for us, and that no one is too far gone to be worthy of that love.
Hebrews 12:1-3

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.
