The Rocks Church // Audio Podcast

What if the person you’ve been avoiding is actually someone you need in your life? Using How to Train Your Dragon, this message explores how fear creates distance, but love closes the gap. Jesus calls us to something radical — loving even our enemies. It’s not about agreeing, it’s about getting close enough to understand. This week, you’ll be challenged to ask questions, share a meal, and take a step towards someone you’ve kept at arm’s length.

After Easter, what does it all mean for us today? This message unpacks how Jesus meets us in our questions, our hopes, and even the ordinary moments of life. Whether you're exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, discover a hope that’s real, grounded, and personal—one that brings life to every part of your world.

Easter isn’t just tradition—it’s hope grounded in real history. This message explores our deep longing for more, the gap we all feel within, and how the resurrection of Jesus speaks directly into both. With honest questions and compelling evidence, discover why this isn’t wishful thinking but a hope you can actually build your life on. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or searching, this message invites you to see Easter differently.

Good Friday hits different when you see the cost. This message unpacks the brutal reality of the cross—real history, real sacrifice, real love. Jesus didn’t just die; He took your place and finished the work completely. No earning, no proving—just grace. Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this will challenge how you see sin, love, and what “it is finished” actually means.

Ever feel like life looks full but feels empty? Chloe unpacks Jesus’ promise of a rich and satisfying life and why chasing success, comfort, or control can still leave us exhausted. Through the picture of the “True Vine,” we discover how real life flows from staying connected to Jesus—not striving harder. If you’re over the pressure to perform and ready for something deeper, this message will help you shift from burnout to a life that actually satisfies.

Ever feel like you’ve got to prove yourself first? This message flips the script. Looking at Matthew 11:28–30, we see that Jesus offers rest before performance—not after. It’s not about trying harder, but coming as you are. Whether you’re burnt out, striving, or just curious about faith, this is an invitation to breathe again and trust a different way of living.

In this message from John 9, Pastor Cit explores the story of the man born blind and the surprising people who couldn’t see the truth right in front of them. While a blind man gains sight, the religious leaders remain spiritually blind because of pride. This message challenges us to examine our own blind spots—whether pride, fear of others, or misplaced priorities—and invites us to let Jesus, the Light of the World, open our eyes. Because the greatest blindness isn’t physical… it’s thinking we can see without Jesus.

We’re all driven by desire — but what happens when our desires are pointed at the wrong things? In John 6, the crowd chases Jesus for more bread, but He reveals a deeper truth: our greatest hunger isn’t physical, it’s spiritual. Jesus calls Himself the Bread of Life, showing that lasting satisfaction is found in Him alone. This message explores how good things can become ultimate things, why that leaves us spiritually starving, and how practices like repentance, prayer, and Scripture help reorder our desires so we can finally live satisfied in Christ.

In this powerful start to our Unbelievable series, Daniel unpacks the story of the woman caught in adultery. When the crowd picks up stones, Jesus steps in. He doesn’t deny sin, but He refuses condemnation. Mercy comes first, then change. This message challenges both the religious and the sceptical, showing a Jesus who protects the exposed and confronts hypocrisy. If you’ve ever felt judged, shamed, or stuck in your worst moment, this is for you. Discover a mercy that doesn’t ignore truth—but offers a future.

Money isn’t just a tool — it can quietly become a master. In this message, Daniel unpacks 2 Corinthians 8 and Jesus’ warning about Mammon, showing how generosity isn’t about God getting something from you, but forming something in you. You can’t grow into spiritual maturity while staying neutral with your wallet. This isn’t guilt-driven giving — it’s joyful, strategic, grace-shaped generosity modelled on Jesus, who became poor so we could become rich in Him. What if giving isn’t pressure… but freedom?

Is work just a grind, or is God doing something deeper through it? In this message, Alistair unpacks how your job is more than a payslip — it’s formation. Looking at Colossians 3, we explore how our daily work shapes who we become and how God can use it to bring renewal to our city and beyond. Whether you love your job, hate it, or feel stuck in it, this message will help you reframe work as partnership with Jesus and rediscover dignity, purpose and eternal impact in the everyday.

In this message, Daniel explores God’s vision for communitas — a group of disciples radically committed to Jesus, to each other, and to His mission. Drawing from Romans 16, he unpacks why loneliness runs so deep in our culture and why church was never meant to be something we consume, but a people we become. This talk challenges comfort-first faith and invites us into deeper, risk-taking community where love costs something and mission comes alive.

Many of us are stuck in a surface-level version of Christianity that Jesus never intended. In this powerful message, Alistair Cochrane calls us back to radical discipleship — where obedience, multiplication, and purpose aren’t just ideas, but a way of life. Whether you’re curious about faith or ready to go deeper, this talk challenges the comfortable and invites you into a bold, Spirit-led life of impact.

In a world chasing self-improvement and spiritual escape, Jesus offers something deeper—renewal from the inside out. This message unpacks Revelation 21 to reveal God’s plan not to scrap the world but to restore it. You’re invited into the transformation—not just to be made better, but to become new.

Ever feel like life is shaping you more than you’re shaping it? In this message, Citra Laupase unpacks how our daily rhythms are quietly forming us—just like Babylon tried to form Daniel. Discover how simple, intentional habits like Scripture before screens, silence before noise, and Sabbath before striving can anchor you to Jesus in a noisy world.

In a world obsessed with self-improvement and performance, Ps Citra kicks off the year with a powerful reminder: you weren’t made to build your identity—you were made to receive it. Through Jesus’ words in Luke 9, discover why surrendering your “false self” leads to the freedom, wholeness, and purpose you’ve always longed for.

Gratitude isn’t a vibe, a feeling, or just politeness—it’s a powerful way of seeing life. In this message, Ps. Daniel unpacks how gratitude shapes our brains, changes our perspective, and moves us to action. Using Paul’s letter from prison, he flips Philippians 4:13 on its head—not as a “success verse,” but as a declaration of contentment. Whether you’re crushing it or struggling, this talk will challenge how you define “enough.”

Sex is powerful—like fire, it can bring warmth or chaos depending on where it’s lit. In this honest, grace-filled message, we look at Jesus’ words on lust from the Sermon on the Mount, exposing the lies we’ve believed, the harm we’ve done, and the healing that’s possible. This isn’t about shame or judgment—it’s about moving from lust to love and seeing sex the way God intended: as a gift, not a god. Whether you’re single, married, healing, or exploring faith, this is for you.

We all think we know how to love—but what if we’re doing it all wrong? Ps Daniel unpacks what real love looks like, not the Instagram version, but the kind that looks like Jesus. Learn why keeping score ruins relationships and how true love isn’t about winning—it’s about losing well.

Marriage isn’t just a status—it’s a mirror. In this real and relatable message, Ps. Citra unpacks God’s original design for marriage, why it’s not for everyone, and how love built on selflessness and unity can transform any relationship. Whether you’re single, married, or still figuring it out—this talk will speak straight to your heart.

Dating’s confusing—but it doesn’t have to be. In this kickoff to our relationship series, PD gets real about the chaos of modern dating and how to cut through it with clarity, character, and purpose. Whether you’re single, married, or just allergic to dating, this message is all about the heart—and why becoming the right person matters more than just finding one.

An uninvited woman crashes a religious dinner—and leaves with more freedom than anyone expected. In this message, Ps Daniel unpacks how true grace doesn’t just save us, it changes our posture, our generosity, and our whole approach to life. Grace isn’t a safety net. It’s a launching pad.

What if the grace of God doesn’t just save you—but actually offends you? In Part 2 of Offensive Grace, Alistair challenges us to rethink our ambition. Grace doesn’t kill ambition—it reorients it. From self-interest to servanthood. From comfort to calling. Discover how radical grace fuels broader vision, deeper discontent, and bold, sacrificial action.

This message flips the famous parable of the Prodigal Son on its head. It’s not just a story about rebellion—it’s about religion too. Whether you’ve run away from God or tried to earn your place by being "good," grace is the answer. You can't out-sin it, and you can't out-perform it. This talk will challenge what you think is fair and invite you to let go of control and walk into the party.

The Church isn’t just a building—it’s a global, multi-ethnic, Spirit-filled movement that’s still transforming lives today. In this powerful message, Ps. Gordon Bassett reminds us not to lose the wonder of the Ekklesia and how personal encounters with Jesus are the heartbeat of it all.

What if the problem isn’t unanswered prayer—but unbold prayer? In this inspiring message, Alistair unpacks how the early church didn’t pray for safety—they prayed for courage. Learn why prayer isn’t a spiritual wishlist but an invitation to see God move in power. When we pray big and bold, we get a bigger vision of what’s possible in our lives, our church, and our city.

Jesus didn’t pray for our safety, power, or comfort—He prayed for our unity. In this powerful message, Ps. Daniel reveals how internal division, not external opposition, is the true threat to the church. Through John 17, we’re reminded of our mission to love beyond differences and stay united for the sake of the Gospel.

The church was never meant to be just a building—it’s a people, a movement, a mission. Ps.

Whether you’ve been hurt by church or just curious about what it's really supposed to be, this one’s for you.

What if we’ve been measuring “rich” the wrong way? As part of our annual Be Rich campaign, Ps Daniel challenges our mindset around wealth, generosity, and what it means to truly live. Whether you’ve got questions about faith, or just want to make a real difference, this message will show you why being rich is better than just getting rich. You’ll laugh, reflect, and maybe even be inspired to give differently.

Father’s Day brings up all kinds of feelings—joy, grief, even pain. In this heartfelt message, Ps Daniel unpacks Jesus’ powerful response to a simple but loaded request: “Show us the Father.” You’ll discover that God isn’t distant or disappointed—He’s close, kind, and proud to call you His own. Whether you're a dad, had a great one, or are still healing, this talk will show you the Father you’ve been longing for.

We all carry fruit from our family tree—some sweet, some a bit rotten. Scripture says patterns of sin and pain often echo for three to four generations, but Jesus offers more than behaviour tweaks—He changes the soil. This message gets real about your past, shows you how to map your family patterns, and invites Jesus to redeem, re-stake and graft you into His family so you can grow good fruit for generations to come.

In this powerful message, Chloe Chong helps us confront the unhealed wounds we carry from our earthly fathers—and shows us how to stop the bleeding and start the blessing. Using the story of Jacob and Esau, she unpacks the pain of withheld love and how God offers us a better legacy through Jesus. You don’t have to repeat the past—you can break the cycle and be a blessing for the future.

Sometimes we adapt to dysfunction so well, we stop noticing the warning signs in our soul. In this powerful message, Ps. Daniel unpacks the story of a man healed by Jesus after 38 years of pain — and how our own healing starts with honesty, forgiveness, and surrender. If your heart’s been leaking hurt into your life, your relationships, or your faith… it’s time to let Jesus restore what’s broken. It may hurt — but it’s worth it.

Many of us are chasing attention, but what we’re truly starving for is approval—and it’s often shaped by the father we had (or didn’t have). In this message, Cit Laupase unpacks the story of the prodigal son to show that God isn’t waiting for you to impress Him—He’s waiting for you to come home. Whether you’re running from Him or close but distant in heart, His arms are open, and His love is already yours.

We’re not meant to do life alone. Ps Binh unpacks how Paul, Timothy and Epaphroditus each model what it means to be a gift to the people around us—God-dependent, genuine, and selfless.

Your heart might feel like a reliable guide—but what if it’s actually leading you astray?
