Description:In today’s news we have never seen so much hypocrisy as now. It can be a real big problem! Is it possible that this problem could ever be in the church?

Description:During July 4th we celebrate our freedom as a nation. It's a freedom we treasure dearly and greatly appreciate all those who made our freedom possible. But there is a freedom that is even greater than that! Follow along with Pastor Johan as he explains in Romans 6 the greatest freedom of all!

Description:Two things happened this year that I would have never thought I would see. First watching the whole country (in fact the whole world) shut down from a virus. Wow! Secondly, watching our country descend into such lawlessness. You see how quickly these things can happen. Which make us realize the Second Coming of Christ may be sooner than we think. James talks about the farmer and how it relates to Christ' Coming. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we learn some lessons from the farmer and how we can live out these truths in our day.

Description:In these days, it's easy for us to lose our focus on what really matters and get caught up in the here and now. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we study Psalm 90 and discover how God intends for us to live our lives with His perspective!

Description:We all know that living in these days have been a time of discouragement and disappointments. Today is a good message that offers hope and encouragement for all of our hearts.

Description:Listen to Pastor Johan as he shares how to overcome fear during these difficult days as we deal with the coronavirus.

Description:Living in these difficult days, it is more important now than ever that we experience God's presence in our lives. Sometimes we just need to be reminded that He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Listen to Pastor Johan as he shares practical ways in which we can experience God's presence daily.

Description:So here we are in the middle of a crises- a trial if you will. It is called the coronavirus and the place where we were meeting as a church was abruptly shut down. That is kind of ironic when you think about it as our series of some weeks has been about trials called TRIALS TO TRIUMPH. Today's topic is the prophet Jonah. What can we learn about this man that has anything to do with the trials we face today? Well, you would be surprised at he message God has for us from this prophet. Follow along with Pastor Johan as he explains these things from the book of Jonah. You will be amazed at how relevant this book is to the place we find ourselves today.

Description:Beautiful worship song! Let this song minister to our heart especiall during difficult times.

Description:There was a prophet in the Old Testament who went through many, many trials. In fact he is sometimes called the "weeping prophet" or the "Job of prophets". You and I will probably never go through as many trials as this man went through. This man's name was Jeremiah. In spite of all these things the man remained faithful to His God. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we look into this story. You and I may not be called a prophet yet we are all called to be spokes man and women for God. May Jeremiah's story inspire us to also be a powerful spokes person for Christ.

Description:Is it possible to go from being a "POWERHOUSE" for God to hitting rock bottom to the point that you want to die? Not only is it possible, it is exactly what happened to a man named Elijah. How in the world did Elijah go from being such a powerful man of God to such depths of despair? Follow along with Pastor Johan as he looks at the reasons why this may have happened. But better yet, how he was able to get back up on his feet and continue the good fight. This is good advice for all of us who occasionally get discouraged and beat down as well.

Description:There have been some interesting TV shows about different kinds of "makeovers". It might be about a house or a person's looks among others. However, today's message is more about a "makeover" that involved a person's character -- a total change in a person's personality. That person we are talking about was Moses. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we look at how the self reliant, proud, and confident Moses had to come to the end of himself first before God could use him in a powerful way. And it all happened after he was 80 years old! Amazing! We may never deliver a nation or receive the Ten Commandments from God. But who is to say that this same God won't use us in a powerful way as well to fulfill His purposes?

Description:For a lot of people Moses is considered one of the most powerful men in the Bible. However, he was not always that kind of a man. God had to put him through some serious trials to make him into the person He could use for His purposes. And that is what this series is all about. God is making and molding us into the kind of people we can be and the kind He can use. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we explore the story of Moses and the trials that he encountered. By the time God gets through with Moses he becomes an amazing Man of God and one greatly used by God. God is working on us to do the same.

Description:Today we finish the story of Joseph. It is certainly one of the most powerful stories in the Bible and one of my favorites. This man was incredibly faithful to God and served Him wherever he was whether good or bad. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we wrap up his story. We will see that God is always at work no matter what the circumstances. He is molding us and shaping us to be more like our Savior Jesus Christ. From this man's life we learn a powerful example of how we can let God work in our lives as well.

Description:Today is the third message in our series TRIALS TO TRIUMPH. We have looked at Abraham and Jacob and today we look at the life of Joseph. What a powerful story it is. Because this is such a familiar story I want you to look at it as if you had never heard it before. Joseph's dreams came from God and God wants us to be dreamers for Him. However along with having God's dream you will also face persecution and temptation. Follow along with Pastor Johan as he shares this wonderful story. What God did for Joseph He wants to do for you also.

Description:Today we start our second message in our series titled Trials To Triumph. Last week we talked about Abraham. Like Abraham, Jacob had his share of trials and difficulties. What can we learn from them? He was a very "twisted" fellow in his dealings. He was quite the schemer and that is why his name is aptly called the "grabber" or "surplanter". What could God possibly do with a man like that? Follow along with Pastor Johan as he explains this. You will be amazed how God turned this man's life around to become a powerful man of God. Perhaps there is hope for us as well!

Description:Today's message is the start of a new series entitled TRIALS TO TRIUMPH. It appears that a lot of Christians go through an awful lot of tough trials in their lives. What can we all learn from these trials? Well, when you look in the Bible (both old and new testament) you find a lot of God's people that went through trials as well. Why do these happen? How do people handle these times? And how do these people come out stronger than before? Follow along with Pastor Johan as he tries to answer some of these questions in this series. In today's message we take a look at Abraham. Let's see how this man, who was quite "flawed" came out to be the Father of faith. Enjoy the journey!

Description:Here we are starting a brand new year. This is the time of year that people love to make new year resolutions. That is actually not such a bad idea. However, the problem is most people don't keep them and they are soon forgotten. I believe there is a better way. And that way is today's message. What if you could get God's best for your life this year and for the rest of your life? Wouldn't that be life changing? And more importantly to know that God wants that for you more than you want it for yourself. Follow along with Pastor Johan as he shares this message from 2 Chronicles, Chapter 12. May we long for God's best in our lives as well as in our church. Don't ever settle for second best!

Description:Today is the third message in our Christmas series. From the prophets we learned preparation and how to have expectation. From the angels we learned about proclamation -- to share the message of peace with God. Today, we learn from the shepherds about hope and joy. It is not the kind of joy that can fade away and the kind we usually experience. The joy the shepherds experienced is a much greater joy. Follow along with Pastor Johan as he explains this message of joy. Wouldn't you love to have a kind of joy that can never be taken away? Don't settle for anything less!

Description:Today will be the second message in our Christmas series. Last week we looked at the prophets who taught us the importance of preparation and expectation. Today we look at the angels who gave us the first Christmas message. It was a message of proclamation. And what did they proclaim? That we can experience peace with God because a Savior has been born to bring us that peace. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we learn that we can be proclaimers to all that we meet about how they can also experience this peace that Christ brings.

Description:Can you believe it? It is almost time for Christmas again. How the year flies by! Today we start our Christmas series. It will be presented as a view point from different characters in the Bible. Today it is the prophets and how they prepared for the coming Messiah with great expectation.You will see that our lives are filled with preparation and expectation in almost everything we do. Whether it is preparing ourselves to be more like Jesus or whether it is preparing ourselves for Christ's Second Coming. In all of these things we want to have a Christmas celebration that is the most meaningful that we have ever had. After all, we are celebrating the fact that God came to dwell with us- Emmanuel- God with us! Let the celebration begin!

Description:Do you ever get discouraged when you look at yourself in the mirror? One may think such thoughts as "I should be better by now, why do I still struggle?; shouldn't these faults have been overcome by now?; etc." It can get you discouraged all right! But rather than looking at ourselves it is much better to look at our wonderful God. That can fill your heart with praise especially before Thanksgiving. Well, that is exactly what we are going to do today. Follow along with Pastor Johan as he looks at Psalm 103 and shares 7 beautiful qualities of our wonderful God. Not only will your heart be filled with praise for Thanksgiving, but with praise every day.

Description:It is tough when the country and culture we live in begins to change- for the worse! What used to be wrong is now becoming right and what used to be abnormal is now normal. And when you stand with your convictions against these changes you are now labeled the "odd one." That is the situation we see in 1 kings when wicked Ahab and his wife came to power. Was all lost? No, there was a powerful person named Elijah who stood his ground and remained faithful to his God. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we get into this story. You will be inspired by this wonderful and faithful man. In these days God is looking for more Elijahs to remain faithful to him.

Description:There is one thing that comes to each one of us sooner or later, and that one thing is temptation. Temptation comes in all kinds of ways. It may be the temptation to lie, or to not forgive, or to drink or do drugs, to cheat, and the list goes on. There was a person in the Bible who faced a very strong temptation. His name was Joseph and we find his story in Genesis chapter 39. Follow along with Pastor Johan as he explains the temptation Joseph faced and how he handled it. Hopefully there are several strong lessons from this passage that we can apply to our lives to overcome temptation when it comes our way.

Description:Brian Reynolds shares the message on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at Community Church of the Rockies in Grand Lake, Colorado while Pastor Johan is away on vacation.

Description:There is a trap that most of us fall into from time to time. We don't mean to but it kind of sneaks up on us. That trap is called the comparison trap. In other words, it is when we compare ourselves with other people and even other churches. Peter was falling into that trap in our passage found in John chapter 21. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we take a look at this subject and, more importantly, how we can get out of this trap. When we are freed from the comparison trap, we are able to become everything that God had intended for us to become. Such wonderful freedom!

Description:Do you ever worry about your future? Of course you do. We all do and we are all guilty of that! Well hopefully today's passage will take care of that problem. Follow along with Pastor Johan as we study John Chapter 21 where Jesus and Peter have a conversation. You will be comforted and encouraged to find that with Christ our future looks bright for sure!

Description:There is one thing that God desires from His disciples more than anything else. Do you know what that is? Surprisingly it is not all our activities and actions we can do for Him. In fact it is much simpler than that. Follow along with Pastor Johan as he answers this question and demonstrates the answer from John chapter 21. Actually this one thing is what God deeply desires from His followers. When you discover what it is and begin to live it out, it will radically transform your walk with God.
