The Rock Community Church - Sunday Messages

Ps Louisa shares from John 10:1–21 on Jesus as the Good Shepherd and our closest friend, following the reading of A Tribute for Mother’s Day by Amy Young.

In this special service, four of our church leaders share what God has been placing on their hearts for our community, bringing encouragement and insight.

This week we have pastor Taylor Forward continuing our series 'On Earth as it is in Heaven'.

Rebekah Brandsma continues On Earth as it is in Heaven, exploring Luke 15:8–10 and Matthew 6:33, reminding us of Jesus’ deep love for the lost and calling us to be intentional in seeking and loving those who are yet to know Him.

Ps Taylor continues the series On Earth as it is in Heaven, exploring Luke 12:1–24 and challenging us to examine the heart issues behind hypocrisy, fear and greed, inviting us instead to live with integrity and deep trust in God.

Ps Louisa unpacks Luke 15:11–32 alongside Genesis 4:1–7, challenging us to consider whether we’re seeking what the Father can give rather than relationship with Him — and reminding us that following Jesus means laying down our whole lives to truly walk with Him.

Join Ps Louisa as the series On Earth as it is in Heaven continues, exploring what it means to live under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom is revealed as we practise listening for His voice, responding, and remaining in Him daily. Drawing on Matthew 7:21–27 this message encourages us to build lives grounded in God’s Word and shaped by the Spirit.

Upper room — Hosted by UNIVS Tasmania at The Rock Community ChurchIn From Pillars to Altars, Nadia Clark unpacks Jacob’s encounter with God in Genesis 28:18, challenges us to move beyond momentary spiritual markers and into lives of ongoing surrender. Drawing on Romans 12:1, this message calls us to become living altars — people who offer every part of their lives in worship and obedience - responding to God’s presence with transformation, not just remembrance.

Join Ps. Louisa in Part 4 of the series “On Earth as It Is in Heaven: Punching holes in the darkness is to bring the kingdom of heaven into the world as we explore Genesis 1:3 , John 1:4 and what it means being light in the darkness

Ps Louisa de Bruyn shares a joyful Christmas message from Luke 2:8–20, reminding us of the angel’s words: “Do not be afraid.” This message unpacks how fear works against faith, steals joy, and gives access to the enemy, while pointing us back to Jesus—the perfect Lamb, wrapped in swaddling cloths, bringing good news of great joy. A powerful encouragement to tell and celebrate good news stories, rejoice, and live unafraid.

Ps Louisa de Bruyn calls us to live with faith-filled obedience, trusting the authority and truth of Jesus’ words. Drawing from Isaiah 6:1–8 and the call to advance God’s Kingdom, this message reminds us that we are Christ’s ambassadors—sent to make a difference, take spiritual ground by faith, and walk in wholeness across every area of life.

Ps. Louisa dives deep into the call to action found in Matthew 7:21-29 and Mark 1:17-18. Jesus' invitation to His disciples to follow Him wasn’t just a call to believe, but a call to live out His mission. The disciples’ immediate response serves as a model for us, illustrating that following Jesus requires more than just words; it demands action and intimate, daily relationship with Him. This sermon is a stirring reminder that taking Jesus at His word means stepping out in faith, trusting His invitation, and acting on His mission.

This week we have Shane Willard speaking at one of our Wednesday nights.
