An overdue update
Hi everyone, its been a while since we’ve updated on what’s been going on at Christ The Rock Church so here are a few overdue updates.
Feelings and Faith
We’ve recently started to go through Brian Borgman’s “Feelings and Faith” in our CE hour preceding the main service led by Chris Spiros. In this series Borgman teaches how we as Christians are to apply our feelings to our faith and not be slaves to them. God has emotions and has created us with emotions […]
Pulpit Supply
Yes, Pastor Austin has been absent from our pulpit in recent weeks. Besides a scheduled Hetsler family vacation to Tennessee earlier this month, we again find our pastor on the move once more. This week, joining our friend and brother, Dr. Silvestro, speaking at an event in Gunnison, CO. In our brother’s absence, though, God […]
God, Government, and the Christian
Pastor Austin came back from his well-deserved, end-of-the-year sabbatical with a conviction to provide a guiding series of messages which are designed to help all of God’s people navigate, with confidence, the mandate-heavy life that COVID-19 has spawned. A several-part series commenced on January 10th, at its core to help the sheep of CtRC, and […]
Welcome Back, Pastor!
After a well-deserved several-week sabbatical, Pastor Austin Hetsler returned to the pulpit today. Commencing a several-part series on God, Government, and the Christian, Pastor Austin will exegete the Scriptures and teach us as it pertains to a Christian’s role under, alongside, and apart from government authority. You will not want to miss any message in […]
2020 Vision
Shaking the dust of last year from our sandals…onward towards another year of blessing, sanctification, and the fellowship of the Spirit. The new year begins as the last one ended. Pastor Austin nearing the end of his 8-week sabbatical, enjoying, with his family, the much deserved time off from the pulpit. While, many able and […]
Christ the Rock-tober
Where do we start? The end of October saw a flurry of CtRC activities. Primarily, our 2nd Annual CtRC Retreat at Camp Peniel in Fredericktown, OH. This occurred from the 21st through the 24th. We prayed, sang, cooked, ate, played, scavenged, s’mored, crafted, zipped, ate some more, praised God, and sometimes slept. I mean, what […]
Two Lives. Two Loves. For Always.
That’s what it said on the invitation…the one inviting us to witness the joining in Holy Matrimony of our very own James and Dena. They now answer to “Mr. & Mrs. Fobel”. At Noon on the 5th of September, at Johnny’s On Fulton, many of us were privileged to celebrate the marriage of these two […]
Reviving the CtRC Fellowship Picnic
It had been a while since we ventured out for our once-frequent, but not-so-much-lately, fellowship picnic after our Sunday service. Determined to charge out of the COVID miasma, and reclaim our right to worship our Lord through grilling and chilling, we frolicked in the Lorain County Metro Park this afternoon. If you listen to today’s […]
