Making room for the Gospel of Jesus might not seem like something we would need to focus on.  But, in consumeristic America where over loaded schedules has led to a burdened pace of life, people are increasingly being faced with a significant challenge of making room for God and his gospel of grace on Sunday mornings, let alone in the rest of their Monday through Saturday lives. Economic unrest, pressures from work, family struggles, children's school and extracurricular activities add to an already demanding pace of life that often exceeds the human's capacity to maintain and often results in major life breakdowns.  The vital question for us today is,

"What choices do I need to make today in order to keep Jesus and his gospel at the center of my story?" 

Over the last few years, River Rock has focused on hospitality as a key practice in making an invisible God visible by making room in our lives for him and others.  River Rock invites you to join others who are striving to make more room for the Gospel of Jesus so that we might flourish as the people he designed us to be. 

We would be thrilled to have you join us as we spend the first half of the year looking at vital topics through the lens of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a series called Gospel Transformation - topics including God's Hiddennes, Election, End Times, Hell, Media, Prayer, Justice, Evangelism, Doubt, Heaven, Miracles and more. This time promises to be a great opportunity to shape our understanding of God's amazing story of grace and how we fit into his divine drama.  The second half of the year we will go through the book of Romans in a series called The Power of the Gospel.  Romans, in my humble opinion, is the greatest explanation of the gospel of Jesus ever written and I am confident that it will strengthen and deepen our faith and love for God through his Son Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit.  

May 2009 be a year in which Jesus Makes All Things New in your life through the transforming power of the gospel of Christ.
