Anyone who listens to my teaching
and obeys me is wise, like a person
who builds a house on solid rock.

-Matthew 7:24 NLT

Strength to Stand!

August 1st, 2010

Ephesians 6:10-13  says “A final word; Be strong with the Lord’s mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. Use every piece of God’s armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm.”

Life is tough sometimes. There are problems we face, situations that arise, and people that seem to be difficult to deal with or understand from time to time in our life. We face personal battles that leave us feeling overwhelmed now and then. That’s why it’s important to turn to God for strength to stand. As temptations arise, we need to know how to rise above. It’s in the Lord. Our strength is in Him. We find power through prayer, through His Word, the Holy Bible. We find the ability to conquer fear through faith. His power is stedfast, and as we seek Him and His ability to help us, we will not be overcome by evil.

Don’t fear. Do not be dismayed. Know that God is strong and able to help you in your time of need, in your time of uncertainty, chaos, or trouble. Stand firm in His power, and stand on His Word. God is with you always!

A Great Place To Grow!

April 19th, 2010

At Solid Rock Church, you can find a place to be planted, and a place to grow in the Lord, in His Word, in fellowship with other believers,  in your gifts and abilities for service to the body of Christ and the community.  This is a church filled with people who love God and want to see positive things happening in this community for His glory. We invite you to come grow with us if you are not currently involved in a local church. God has great blessings for you!!!

2010 A Great Year Is Here!

January 28th, 2010

We believe God has great blessings in store this year for you. His love is faithfully ours, and He wants to show us His provision and demonstrate his grace. Our prayer at Solid Rock Church is that you will find your strength in the Lord, and trust in Him daily to lead, guide, and provide for you and those you love. There is always hope in the Lord. May you find him in a place of prayer, in the kindness of a stranger, in fellowshipping with other Christians at church, and in unexpected places along life’s journey.

Happy New Year!     Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you” says the Lord, “they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

It’s A New Season for New Beginnings!

December 2nd, 2009

Solid Rock Church Assembly of God has officially been launched and is opened to the public of Medina, Tennessee and all who want to come be part of this Ministry as they are so led by the Holy Spirit. We have seen nine souls saved this month. We have seen many touched by the presence of God, and are continuing to hear great testimonies of how their lives are being affected by the goodness of God!  We are so blessed and truly thankful for all those who have been praying for this new church, and for all who have worked with us to see the new building renovated, and for all those who are sacrificing their God-given talents, and abilities to serve in ministry here. We know that God has great plans for the people of this community and greater area. It is all for the Glory of God that His will is accomplished through us in this awesome New Season of New Beginnings!

Church Planting helps fulfill The Great Commission

August 6th, 2009

Imagine listening to Jesus just before He would leave, as He said those final instructions to His disciples, understanding He would leave them with the awesome responsibility that would impact the world for generations to come….it was “The Great Commission.” God’s authority and mandate still compel us two thousand years later; “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this; I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19, 20 (NLT)

How do we as believers carry out such a great commission? One way, in particular, is through Church Planting. How better to reach out to people with the gospel, than to invite them to go hear the good news, and to learn how to live according to the teachings of Christ (otherwise known as DISCIPLESHIP). With so many in our current culture that are unchurched; the need is great for evangelism and discipleship! The harvest is great, and the laborers are few. Jesus told us this in Luke 10:2 as He described the need for prayer, and for laborers to be sent to gather the harvest of souls.

Our prayer is that Solid Rock Church will be established in this city of Medina to be a praying church, a harvesting church, and a sending church that fulfills the Great Commission with great conviction. To God be the glory!
