Welcome.
We are glad to have you join us for worship. Throughout Jesus’s ministry, He wasn’t too impressed with symbolic devotion. In fact, He spent a lot of time challenging the “religion” of the day, even folks in the church. He challenged preconceptions, called out critics, and shook up the lukewarm.
In this series DO-OVER, we’ll look back to identify the slogans and cliches of Christianity and discover the keys to making the most of the second chance God has given us through a new life as part of His Church.
Our church is a community of believers who come together to worship, pray, and learn from each other. We value the importance of family and strive to create an environment where individuals and families can grow closer to God and to each other.
At our church, we believe that everyone has the potential to impact the world. In our programs and ministries, we seek to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to make a difference in our communities and in the world.
So, if you are looking for a church home that seeks to make a positive impact in Rock Hall and the world, we invite you to join us. No matter who you are or where you come from, you are welcome here. We look forward to getting to know you and to growing in our faith together.
If you have any questions or want to discuss your faith journey, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. My email is gary@yourrockhall.church and my office telephone is 410-639-2144.
Thank you again for joining us.

Benediction
Life is much more than an accident. Wherever I go, I believe God needs me there. Wherever I am, I trust God has put me there. He has a purpose for me being there -
Christ, alive in me, wants to do something through me, no matter where I am.
I believe this and go in His grace and His love and His power.
If you would like someone to pray with you, please come and meet one of our ministry leaders at the end of the service.

Do-Over: From Work to Worship
Let's Celebrate
Revelation 2:1–3 NIV
1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
A Big ol' But
Revelation 2:4 ESV
4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
1 John 4:7-21
Remember, Repent, Redo
Revelation 2:5 NIV
5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
I See You
Revelation 2:6 NIV
6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
How is your love?
John 21
This week’s YouVersion Bible Reading Plan:
This 5-day plan will go through Psalms 63 explaining David’s heart of worship. You will learn that we are a living sacrifice to worship God wholeheartedly, freely, and passionately. David worshiped God because he knew how much he was loved by Him. David’s sense of deep love from God was the wellspring of his heart for God. This plan will encourage you to have a heart of worship.
