Instead of bearing good fruit, we allow God to transform us from our old selves into our new selves- we become a different kind of tree. A good tree that naturally and automatically produces good fruit.
April 20th, 2025 | Speaker Jonathan Cleveland
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
April 13th, 2025 | Speaker Christy Penley
To be given something ask! To find something, seek! To get the door open, knock! For everyone who receives has been asking; those who find have been seeking; and those for whom the door is opened have been knocking.

January 26th, 2025 | Pastor Jonathan Cleveland
We have to stop relating to others in the “normal” human way and embrace the radically different way of Jesus.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is good, pleasing, and perfect will. Romans 12
January 5th, 2025 | Pastor Jonathan Cleveland
Because Jesus is not like the rest of us, we will never become like him if we keep living how we’ve always lived. Becoming like Jesus requires us to do some things differently than normal.
December 29th, 2024 | Jonathan Cleveland, Kyle Collins, Christy Penley
In this sermon, Jonathan, Kyle, and Christy take us on a journey through the past year, reflecting on the impactful sermon series we explored together.
December 22nd, 2024 | Speaker: Jonathan Cleveland
Sometimes the person worshipping the loudest and the enthusiastically on the outside is worshipping the least on the inside. Because they are using worship of God to get something they want or to maintain an image that is important to them.
December 15th, 2024 | Speaker Christy Penley | Luke 1:46-56
What is Mercy?
Mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. God, who owed us nothing, extended everything to us.
December 8th, 2024 | Speaker: Kyle Collins
There is something that happens in our worship that overflows to others. This is true in specific moments of worship but it’s also true of our lives.
December 1st, 2024 | Speaker: Jonathan Cleveland
Adore is a posture of the heart, characterized by love and awe. In strict terminology, the Latin expression means adore is a designated act of worship to God along.
November 24th, 2024 | Speaker: Jonathan Cleveland
Ave is an experience of truth that cannot be put into the woods. It is the sudden realization of the way things are, that evokes an emotional response in us.
November 17th, 2024 | Speaker Cindy Limbrick
Grief is not a single emotion that can be summed up in one word, rather it is an internal process involving a range of emotions in response to the pain and loss that are an unavoidable part of life.
November 10th, 2024 | Speaker: Kyle & Janae Collins
Jesus was confident and expectant about the future (hope) because He knew the character and promises of His father and because He experiences the presence and nearness of His father.
November 3rd, 2024 | Speaker Christy Penley
If anger is not dealt with it can lead to depression. Go to God with your anger- He can handle it and honestly, He already knows. Tell Him!
October 27th, 2024 | Speaker Jonathan Cleveland
Shame is the feeling that there is something wrong with us that needs to be remedied and what what we need to observe is the same is always rooted in truth but it is only ever a half-truth.
October 20th, 2024 | Speaker Jonathan Cleveland
If we don’t find ways, with God, to make sense of our emotional world it will absolutely limit our spiritual growth.
October 13th, 2024 | Speaker Christy Penley
How are emotions and feelings different?
Feelings are sensations in the body and are not always related to emotions.. for example, you can “feel” cold or “feel” hungry. I would argue that a feeling is only one component of an emotion. Emotions involve sensations in the body that connect to cognitive and psychological changes.
October 6th, 2024 | Speaker Jonathan Cleveland
Restore is not about changing the nature of something- only Jesus can do that. It is about helping something regain function and flourishment, and He says to do that Gently.

July 21st, 2024 | Speaker Christy Penley
The purpose you live for and what comes out and the impact on others….it is not about just praying because it is good but because it is necessary. Sounds so neat “as the deer pants for the water so my soul longs for you god.” But the truth is that thirsty people need God….it is hard!
What rhythms in my life are steady and consistent?
The post Sunday School Stories: Daniel and the Lions | Daniel 6 appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.
July 14th, 2024 Speaker: Jonathan Cleveland
From the Exile to the NT the relationship between the people of God and culture is to win Babylon

Sunday June 30th, 2024 | Kyle Collins

though they reject God as their king and the consequences of that decision are fully coming to bear in this
moment God still shows up and delivers them.
The post Sunday School Stories: David and Goliath | 1 Samuel 17 appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.
June 23rd, 2024 | Speaker Preston Goff
When we look at the story of Samson, we see a man who had to reach the very depths of his own failure and brokenness to finally understand the true source of his strength. He confronts the reality that his blessings were not the result of his own doing but gifts from a gracious God who had a purpose for his life.
The post Sunday School Stories: Samson | Judges 16 appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.
June 16th, 2024 Speaker: Christy Penley | Joshua 6
When life is hard we need perseverance. Oftentimes we quit. Sometimes we pray but it is easy to feel that since we’ve asked for something, the answer to our prayers should immediately be forthcoming or our need should quickly be met. However, God is not a bellhop, just waiting to give us exactly what we want the moment that we want it. And that is painful. Agonizing. Piercing to our hearts.
The post Sunday School Stories: Jericho | Joshua 6 appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.

God is with us, present in that struggle, no matter what it is and no matter what caused it. We can be assured that God is present and maybe even closest when we are in our darkest moments. And the divine mystery in all of this is that he is working all things together for our good. Showing us who we really are, giving us the space to wrestle it out until we can see him clearly.

April 21st, 2024 Speaker: Kyle Collins
Adam and Eve did the same in the Garden by trying to become like God. We will get something from God and
then we won’t need God. In fact the whole first part of Genesis people are trying to figure it out on their own. They are working to bring order either completely apart from God or by just adding God to their thing.

And God sent water to purify the destroyed earth and start again, and because of his grace he preserved some
people.
