Bedrock Community Church Sunday Sermons

GO - Discernment

This Sunday, Philip invited us to explore the profound concept of discernment centered on Matthew 12. When faced with the miraculous healing of a demon-possessed man, the Pharisees were quick to dismiss the work of God, blinded by their own rigid beliefs. Philip challenges us to be more than just churchgoers; he calls us to be engaged disciples, actively discerning where God is at work in our lives. This message resonates deeply in our everyday experiences, showing how easily we can become sidetracked by distractions and negativity, much like the persistent nightmare of running astray that Philip shares. He reminds us that discernment isn’t just about making decisions—it’s about recognizing the Kingdom of God versus the distractions that lead us away from Him.

GO - Jesus, The Giver of Rest

This Sunday, Jonge dove into Matthew 11:28-30, revealing the profound truth that Jesus is the ultimate rest-giver. As he unpacks the context of these verses, we learn that Christ invites each one of us—especially those burdened by life's pressures—to come to Him for true rest. This is not just an ancient invitation; it’s a call to the present, teaching us how to practically live as followers of Christ. Jonge emphasizes that while our world often burdens us with expectations and regulations, Jesus offers us the freedom to lay down our struggles and embrace a relationship with Him, who is gentle and lowly in heart. He reminds us that the actions of coming, taking, and learning are essential in our spiritual journeys. As you navigate the challenges of life, Jonge invites you to find solace in Jesus.

Go - The Mission

This past Sunday, Philip, takes us into Matthew 9, challenging us to envision the world through God-sized glasses. He reminds us that Jesus' mission extended beyond big cities to small towns, showcasing that the Gospel is a gift for everyone, just like a cherished item we might have overlooked. Using the vivid story of a man unknowingly wheeling out a wheelbarrow, Philip draws us into our own lives, urging us to recognize the unseen needs around us. The need for compassionate connection is louder than ever, especially as today’s youth search for truth amid confusion. Just as Jesus had compassion for the crowds, we too are called to act—whether through healing, sitting with someone in pain, or inviting them to church. As we gear up for upcoming initiatives, like Serve Sunday, we are not just participants in a church; we are laborers in God's abundant harvest.

Go - Savior for Sinners

This Sunday, Jonge emphasizes the importance of following Christ's example by reaching out to the unlikely, similar to how Jesus called Matthew, a despised tax collector, to join him. He highlights that Jesus not only invited those considered sinners into fellowship but also defended their worthiness before critics, demonstrating mercy over mere religious duty. As disciples, we are challenged to engage with those who may differ from us and to reflect on whether we are blocking the path to Jesus for others through judgment. Ultimately, Jonge urges the church to cultivate relationships with those in need of grace and to make a conscious effort to embody Christ's love in our everyday interactions.

GO - The Healer

This Sunday, Philip reflects on the significance of Father's Day, expressing gratitude towards his own father and father-in-law while acknowledging the unique experiences of fatherhood and grand parenting. He emphasizes that whether one has a supportive father or not, God's love and healing extend to everyone, inviting all to seek truth, hope, and grace through His Word. In exploring Matthew chapter 8, Pastor highlights how Jesus offers healing through compassion, power, and restoration—addressing both spiritual and emotional needs. The sermon encourages individuals to embody Jesus’ compassion in their interactions and to recognize His authority to bring immediate healing and reconciliation in their lives.

Go - Building on the Rock

This Sunday, Dan emphasizes the importance of making a decision about following Jesus in his sermon on the ending of the Sermon on the Mount. He presents contrasting choices, such as the narrow and wide gates, good and bad trees, and wise and foolish builders, urging listeners to examine their own lives and the foundation upon which they are building. Dan, highlights that true discipleship involves not just hearing God's Word but obeying it, as this determines the outcome when storms of life come. Ultimately, he calls for self-examination and surrender to Christ, reminding everyone that life's choices lead to eternal consequences.

Go - Kingdom Focus

This Sunday, Jonge emphasized the importance of focusing on the Kingdom of God as an antidote to anxiety. He referenced Matthew 6, highlighting that worry stems from a lack of trust in God's provision and encourages the congregation to seek God's righteousness above all else. Additionally, he reminded the church to not fret about the future, as tomorrow has its own challenges, and urged them to live fully in the present. Using the example of George Mueller, Jonge illustrated how faith and reliance on God can lead to extraordinary provision and peace in times of need.

Go - Treasures in Heaven

This Sunday, Josh emphasizes the call for believers to go beyond mere membership and become true disciples of Christ, who received the Great Commission to make disciples and spread God's love. He urges the congregation to value eternal treasures over earthly possessions, illustrating this with personal stories and Scripture. Josh highlights the importance of focusing on what lasts, strengthening one's spiritual vision, and serving a worthy master, stressing that true fulfillment comes from seeking God's kingdom rather than worldly gains. Ultimately, Josh challenges each individual to reflect on their priorities and be willing to step out in faith to follow God's call.

Go - Heart of the Law

On Sunday, Dan, emphasizes the high standards God sets for His kingdom citizens as demonstrated in the Sermon on the Mount. He explains that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, revealing that true righteousness goes beyond mere external obedience to the heart's intentions. Through examples like anger, lust, and love for enemies, Dan highlights the need for a heart transformation that reflects God's grace and love, urging believers to respond with forgiveness rather than retaliation. Ultimately, he calls on listeners to recognize their inability to meet these standards on their own and to rely on the righteousness provided by Jesus for genuine acceptance before God.

Go - Salt and Light

This Sunday, Jonge, encourages the congregation on Mother's Day by sharing his personal journey with his wife regarding the challenges of having children. He emphasizes the importance of the Sermon on the Mount from the book of Matthew, highlighting that followers of Jesus are called to be distinct in their purpose as "salt" and "light" in the world. Jonge reminds us that being a disciple means living out their faith daily and embracing their role in God’s mission to make disciples. He concludes by inviting those who have not yet surrendered their lives to Christ to reflect on their relationship with Him, encouraging all believers to shine their light and share their faith boldly.
