Red Rocks Church Weekend Messages

<p>This message from Ryan Wekenman gets to the root of why so many of us feel stuck, exhausted, and overwhelmed. Our world tells us transformation starts with you—self-help, self-improvement, self-focus. But the more we focus on ourselves, the heavier life becomes. Jesus offers a better way. When you stop making life about you, you finally experience the freedom you’ve been looking for. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about getting free.</p>

<p>This Easter message from Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that because of Jesus, you can trade: sin → forgiveness, shame → freedom, death → life. Easter isn’t about what you’ve done—it’s about what Jesus has already done for you. No matter your past, your story isn’t over. Freedom is available. Hope is alive. He is risen.</p>

<p>On the first Palm Sunday, the people of Jerusalem didn’t have the right view of the King who was coming, Jesus; they celebrated his works but missed his intentions. How often do we miss it, too? Our peace isn’t found in momentary relief from a situation, but in putting Jesus at the center of our lives.</p>

<p>Why would a loving God allow hell? Do dinosaurs disprove the Bible? Should Christians take psychedelics? In this message, we slow down and look at some big questions of faith through the lens of Scripture to build a faith that doesn’t flinch.</p>

<p>Can all religions be right? Do all ways lead to heaven? Today, we unpack what it means for Jesus to be the only way to heaven.</p>

<p>Remind yourself on the bad days, the doubting days, that you have reasons for why you believe what you believe - that Jesus really did die for our sins, was buried, and rose again.</p>

<p>Pack your “case” for Christ - the evidence you need to be rooted in your faith when the feelings run out. Don’t let your doubts become your destination.</p>

<p>In the age of TikTok church reviewers, endless criticism, and real church hurt, we are diving into the truth that Jesus is building his church and calling us to be a part of the plan.</p>

<p>Pastor Shawn Johnson explores why we can believe the Bible is real and true. Because Jesus believed the Bible, we can also believe that the Bible is a tool that we can use to change our lives.</p>

<p>“Uncle” Jimmy Rollins is in the house with a message of peace that when you feel in the middle of a miracle, between a prayer and a promise, God can use your pain for a greater purpose.</p>

<p>Author, activist, and evangelist Christine Caine brings a powerful message, reminding us we can either marvel God with our faith or our unbelief. Faith to believe for a miracle always looks foolish, but it’s through our foolish faith and desperation that God is moved.</p>

<p>Pastor Shawn Johnson walks us through the miracle that happens when a prayer is answered, but more importantly, when they are not. When we ask ourselves, "What about my miracle?"—how even an unanswered prayer can be a blessing and that God is with us even in our unbelief.</p><p><br></p><p>*Download the app at <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/red-rocks-church-app/id924717311" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/red-rocks-church-app/id924717311</a></p>

<p>There is tension living as Christians in the here and now, knowing eternal life is ahead of us, but experiencing hard things in the world we live in today. Some miracles happen and some don’t because we live in the tension of knowing we have salvation now, but not yet living in eternity.</p>

<p>Pastor Shawn Johnson preaches on our word of the year "miracle"! This year we are believing for the impossible. Where do you need God to move in your life? What would it look like for you to truly believe that He will? As a church we are going to start off a new year by praying, fasting, and believing for miracles.</p><p><br></p><p>*Download the app at <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/red-rocks-church-app/id924717311" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/red-rocks-church-app/id924717311</a></p>

<p>What if 2026 was the year you stopped leaning on your own understanding and started getting into Gods word and trying things God’s way? Start your year with us as we kick it off with 21 days of prayer and fasting. There is nothing God cannot do when we put our lives in His hands. You might not even recognize yourself by the end of the year.</p>

<p>Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that the greatest gift this year and every year is Emmanuel - God with us. God came to be with us, and that means we can have peace in all seasons and all circumstances.</p>

<p>Pastor Conrad Bess preaches on the wisemen and what we can learn from their pursuit of encountering Jesus. How attentive are we to the voice of God this Christmas season? Are we more concerned with the traditions, or our worship of the King? Take a moment to pause before Christmas and remind yourself of Jesus; the actual thing you are looking for this Christmas.</p>

<p>If you fully surrender your life to God, His good plans might just ruin yours. God might change your plans but He doesn’t waste anything. Make plans, and then hold them in open hands, because what we really want is what God has for us, with the people He provides for us, and His presence going with us.</p>

<p>In the final week of our Kingdom Builders series Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that a full life is one that focuses on building our eternal purpose, not just building our own comfort. When we handle our finances God’s way there is no limit to the eternal impact we can make.</p>

<p>Faith is not just believing God is real, it’s trusting that God will move. Faith does not maintain, it multiplies. Stewarding our money the way God tells us to is not about the church needing your money, it’s about finding freedom in trusting God with your finances.</p>

<p>Pastor Shawn Johnson gives a 30,000 foot view of giving God’s way in the Bible. Our giving is less about money than it is about our heart.</p>

<p>This week, Pastor Ryan Wekenman reminds us that the Bible isn’t just a good book. The Bible is the true and inspired Word of God. Learn why you can trust Scripture completely and how bringing God’s Word into your toughest moments changes everything. The Bible can be trusted and it is your greatest weapon in the battles you face.</p><p><br></p><p>Order Pastor Shawn’s book Kiss the Fire here: <a href="https://www.thomasnelson.com/p/kiss-the-fire/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://</a><a href="http://www.thomasnelson.com/p/kiss-the-fire" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.thomasnelson.com/p/kiss-the-fire/</a></p>
