X-Treme Outreach: Reflecting the Love of Jesus
On Saturday, March 13, 2010, The RSOM and the Community Connections Team reached out to families who live in a “sober living community.” The families don’t have much money or many belongings but they bring a determination to rebuild their lives, which have been devastated by drugs/alcohol addiction. In an ongoing effort to encourage and [...]
Spiritual Authority
Pastors Marco and Jill came to share with us last Monday evening at The RSOM. It was the first time we had the lecture, “Spiritual Authority.” Our position in His Kingdom is a citizen and a son/daughter. We are co-heirs with Him. We are His ambassadors to this world and we each have an assignment. [...]
Preparing for our RSOM Outreach
This time of year is very exciting for The Rock School of Ministry because this is the season we plan our final outreach activity. This year we are teaming up with the Community Connections Team to provide a “make-over” for a local sober living community called Heal Haven. The Heal Haven residents, single parents and [...]
Exercise in Praying God’s Word
Last Monday evening our focus was praying God’s Word. We all did an exercise in which we followed the following process: 1) Be Quiet (Ps. 46:10), 2) Be focused (Heb. 12:1,2), 3) Be listening (Mt. 10:27,28), 4) Be recording (Prov. 7:1-3), and 5) Be grateful (I Thess. 5:16-18). As I quieted myself down from a [...]
Hearing and Praying from God’s Heart
Pastor Francis shared about hearing and praying from God’s heart this week. A significant point he made was that our only motivation for praying God’s heart should be love. That has really caused me to search my heart this week and ask the Lord to help me quiet my own thoughts and guide me to [...]
Intimacy
Last Monday at the RSOM Pastor Bob talked about intimacy with the Lord. He said he thinks of it as, “In-To-Me-See”. Most of the ladies in my Cohort Group said it was really hard to be close to anyone, including the Lord, because of past hurts that weren’t yet healed. I was wondering if others [...]
Being “New”
On our first night of The RSOM Pastor John shared about our identity in Christ and being a new creation. Something that he shared really impacted me in a new and profound way. He shared that a new seed of identity was planted in me as an adopted child of God and that I am [...]
Outside Our Walls
I’ve been thinking for over a year what it would be like if we could share The RSOM with men and women outside the walls of our church. This fall four of our leaders are taking our school to a sober living community called Heal Haven. This community is comprised of men and women who are [...]
Fifth Year- Very Cool!!!
On Monday evening, Sept. 14, 2009, we began our fifth year of The Rock School of Ministry. On every first night of school I’m like a school kid as I reflect back on years past and remember the many lives, including mine, that have been transformed. Almost a hundred men and women attended our first night. [...]
