This Week: May 11th, 2025
You can be a good person. You can be kind and generous toward others. Yet Scripture tells us that without Christ, we are still in bondage to sin and spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1–5). It is a difficult message to accept, and many reject it. But the truth is, even when we appear 'good’ by the world’s standards, we are still separated from God (Romans 3:10–12).
We are imprisoned by suffering we may not always recognize. And at the end of the day, when we reflect on all our good works, are we truly more fulfilled than when we began? The world remains broken, and no amount of human effort can fix it. "The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one" (1 John 5:19).
When we accept Christ as our Savior, we surrender even our best efforts to Him, knowing that it is not by our works, but by His grace, that true transformation comes (Ephesians 2:8–9). Only Christ can heal the brokenness, because His Kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36). Our peace and comfort do not come from earthly things, but from the living hope we have in the world to come (1 Peter 1:3–4).
This Week's Worship Service
When God calls us to a giving ministry it is not just to fulfill our obligation or to even enrich the church. It is to satisfy a need in completing God’s work. Many times we don’t need the financial gains we’ve been blessed with but with those gains we can give them into God’s keeping for Him to do the work He has planned.
Philippians 4:15-20

Who We Are
Rockvale Cumberland Presbyterian Church has been a landmark in Rockvale Tennessee since 1889 at a simpler time when church was an integral part of the community. Church members were family that leaned on each other in times of struggle and celebrated together in times of joy. This spirit lives on in our diverse congregation bound together by a love for Christ and for one another. Our motto is simple, 'Whosoever will, is welcome - just as you are', in the manner as Christ said 'Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.' We hope to see you this Sunday morning.
