Red Rocks Church Weekend Messages

<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>

<p>Pastor Doug Wekenman preaches on the human condition and our tendency to waste a lot of time and energy worrying about our lives. If we truly believe God is who He says He is, we can live more free and more alive because we have confidence that He has already taken care of the worries we 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>

<p>Pastor Shawn Johnson shares a vulnerable message about the fires he is walking through. He reminds us that when the fire gets hot we don’t have to fear the flames because when we choose to lean in and crack back, there is purpose in every fire we walk through.</p>

<p>How do we keep fighting when things get really tough? To be really good at not quitting we need to surround ourselves with people who serve God, trust God no matter how things turn out, and choose to worship through our trials. </p><p><br></p><p>Pre-order Kiss the Fire: https://<a href="http://www.thomasnelson.com/p/kiss-the-fire" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.thomasnelson.com/p/kiss-the-fire/</a></p>

<p>A sermon from Pastor Doug Wekenman as we wrap up our Rowdy Church series with a reminder from Matthew 14. When Peter stepped out onto the water, it wasn’t the storm that sank him—it was losing sight of Jesus. In a culture flooded with fear, division, and distraction, this message calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus, guard our hearts, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.</p>

<p>The Church is not a building, it is a body of people who live on mission to spread the good news of Jesus and change the world as a result! We cannot be the Church if we are not living intentionally in our own lives. Pastor Shawn Johnson encourages us to choose to do life in community, pray for each other, and in order to become the mature disciples we need to be in order to reach lost people in a hurting world.</p>

<p>The call of the Church has always been the same: to boldly share the good news of Jesus, with everyone. Our nation is walking through a very heavy time right now. From the recent shooting at Evergreen High School, the Catholic school shooting, the subway attack, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and countless other recent events, we see the brokenness of the world. Pastor Shawn reminds us that while we grieve, we are not without hope. We know the victory is already won in Jesus and so we press on in our calling. The time is now to love people, share the good news of the gospel, and invite every one we meet into a relationship with Jesus. </p>

<p>In Week 1 of our brand-new series, Rowdy Church! Pastor Doug Wekenman unpacks what it means to be a church of imperfect people who can’t stay quiet about Jesus. Based on Acts 4:20, this series captures the heart of Red Rocks Church culture: we’re not a Christian country club—we’re a party for prodigals, a hospital for the broken, and a family on mission to make Heaven more crowded.</p>

<p>How do we know if we are hearing God’s voice or just our own thoughts? The closer you are to God and the more time you spend in His word, the more familiar you will be with His voice.</p>

<p>The more you get to know God the more you’ll love God. The more you love God, the more you’ll want to pray. Why is praying important? Because God wants to communicate with you about everything, and your prayers make a difference.</p>

<p>Prayer always works, even when we don’t get exactly what we want because when we pray we get peace and proximity to God. Anyone who is willing to trust God and bring their cares to Him can be a prayer warrior.</p>
