Rock Haven Church Montevideo

There is no one so far gone that God’s grace can’t reach, redeem, and redirect them. 

God advances His world mission through ordinary, everyday people joyfully taking the gospel with them wherever they go.

When life shakes you, the only way Jesus will pour out of you is if you’re filled with Jesus. 

Unity within the church serves the outward multiplication of the church.

Through baptism, we celebrate that by God’s grace we who were once dead are now made alive through faith in Jesus Christ.

We can celebrate now and into eternity the victory Jesus Christ has given us over death. 

Through the cross, Christ has done for you what you could never have done for yourself.

Who we see Jesus as matters.

The gospel ignites a response toward life for all who believe it and toward death for all who reject it.

Unity is found in pursuing God’s glory instead of our own. 

We grow in boldness as we draw near to God and seek to please Him above anyone else. 

God wants us to use our interruptions as opportunities to bless others. 

Faith in Jesus Christ compels us toward active participation within a healthy, Christ-centered church.

The church’s foundational message is that Jesus Christ is Lord & Savior and all who turn to Him in faith find the power, presence, and peace of God. 

The empowering presence of the Holy Spirit sparked the first steps of God’s mission for the church and still sparks every step today. 

In carrying out the mission God has given us, we must proactively wait on Him for His help. 

Jesus calls, empowers, and sends us as His witnesses into the world. 

Beholding God’s glory and grace makes us eager to participate in God’s mission. 

To live a life fully surrendered, we need to have a big view of God and treasure Him.

Good news of great joy for all people

God graciously works in us so that He might generously work through us to advance the gospel.

Complete dependence on Jesus Christ is the only way to be ok in any and every situation. 

We only find and keep peace in our circumstances when we orient our lives toward the God of Peace.

Mature Christians follow Jesus in thought and deed

Knowing Christ and the power of His resurrection is worth surrendering everything.

We shine brightly as God’s children when we trust Him in our circumstances instead of complaining about them.

Keep working to obey God because God is still working in you.

Our mission demands that our minds be humbly set on Christ Jesus so we can selflessly serve others. 

The gospel not only saves us. It also empowers us to go and live like we’ve been saved.

When we surrender our circumstances to God, we can honor Christ in both our lives and deaths.  

To thrive in hard circumstances, we need to embrace the purpose and the people God has for us. 

Your work has eternal worth

Joyful generosity helps us hold firmly to God as our greatest treasure instead of clinging to the earthly treasures of this world.

We love others best by helping them love Jesus most.

We can only fully surrender to God through an all-encompassing love for God

Conviction of sin should lead us to closeness with God.

We can faithfully endure desperate circumstances by surrendering our hearts to God in prayer.

Hannah's Prayer from 1 Samuel 2:1-10 in our Teach Us To Pray sermon series

Depending on God from Mark 9:14-29 in our Teach Us To Pray sermon series

Pastor John shared at the Chippewa County Fair's church service from Lamentations 3

Because God is gracious to give His children good things, we can boldly seek Him through prayer.

So where does Psalm 23 lead us? What’s the culmination of all of this talk about how God so holistically and specifically cares for His people? The answer is home. The point is that in His great care of us, God brings us all the home to be with Him for eternity.

If your faith is in Jesus, then you can trust that God daily pursues you for your good.

God’s overflowing generosity and grace should move us to deep gratitude.

We can find comfort in knowing that God both protects and disciplines His people in the dark valleys of life. 

We can lay down our fears in the face of suffering when we know that God is with us.

Follow God’s right paths because they produce our good for God’s glory.

As the world wears us out, we can trust God to daily restore us. 

Follow Jesus because He's the One who leads us to true rest.

Trust the deep personal care of your Good Shepherd
