June 25th Worship Program


Welcome.


We are glad to have you join us for worship. Let me ask, what's chipping away at your soul? What's getting in the way of you becoming the person God created you to be? Over these 4 weeks we are going to explore how we can neutralize damaging influences and embrace clean living through a "Soul Detox."

This week we will discover how we can find freedom from one of the greatest pollutants of our souls, our past sins. Past sin, with the resulting guilt and shame has the power to fracture our relationship with God, with others, and even with ourselves. In this way, sin is truly tortuous. Thankfully, God has a plan for this.

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.

Pastor Gary

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.

Message Notes

Soul Detox: Tortured

…there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. Ps 38:3b--4

… the devil… was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Prov 28:13

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 5:16


This week’s YouVersion Bible Reading Plan:

We are not a body with a soul. We are a soul with a body. While the world rightly teaches us to detox our bodies, sometimes we need to detox our soul. This 35-day plan will help you identify what's chipping away at your soul, and what's getting in the way of you becoming the person who God created you to be. You will learn from God's Word how you can neutralize these damaging influences and embrace clean living for your soul.
