When God created work, it wasn’t a punishment, it was part of His original design. Before sin entered the world, Adam was given purpose, creativity, and calling. In this message, Pastor Josh reminds us that we don’t work for rest, we work from it. Whether you’re in an office, on a job site, at home raising kids, or serving in church, your work is worship. God invites us to see our everyday labor as holy ground, a place to reflect His image and impact the world around us.
Through teaching, humor, and real-life stories, this sermon calls us to reject laziness, embrace purpose, and recognize that God has uniquely placed each of us where we are for a reason.
What if the difference between a wise life and a wasted one comes down to a single word: discipline?
In this message from Proverbs 1, we kick off our series Wise Up by digging into what Scripture says about wisdom, discipline, and what it really means to be a disciple. Solomon calls us to seek wisdom and discipline, not just to know about God’s Word but to live it out daily. Jesus echoes the same in Matthew 7: the wise don’t just hear His words; they do them, building lives that can withstand any storm.
What does it really mean to fear the Lord? In this sermon from our Wise Up series at Church on the Rock, Larry McCall unpacks Proverbs 1:7 and shows that the fear of the Lord isn’t about terror or dread — it’s about reverence, awe, and recognizing God’s majesty. Drawing from Proverbs, Colossians, and the words of Jesus, Larry points us back to Christ as the foundation of wisdom.
What if the wisest decision you could ever make wasn’t about what you do but about who you are becoming? In this message, Pastor Josh takes us into Proverbs 4 with a clear, practical reminder: wisdom isn’t automatic, it has to be pursued. He unpacks how Solomon’s words show us that wisdom is something you can go after, and it comes through God’s Word and through the right people in your life.
Life brings loss, trials, and plenty of reasons to lose heart, but God calls us to respond differently. In this message from Church on the Rock, Cynthia reminds us that even in the face of suffering, tragedy, and a culture that celebrates anger, we are called to anchor ourselves in the wisdom of God’s Word.
Life comes at us with pressures of finances, unexpected challenges, and the temptation to look for security in what we have instead of who holds us. In this message from Wise Up: Wise Wallets, Pastor Josh reminds us from Proverbs 3 and Matthew 6 that the heart of the matter isn’t about money, buildings, or stuff. It’s about where our trust lies. God isn’t against us having things, but He is against things having us. True wisdom means seeking first His kingdom, putting Him in the first place of our hearts, and finding satisfaction and security in Jesus alone.
