The Rock Family Sermon of the Week

Worship can feel like a warm-up before the “real” work of faith, but we see it differently: worship is one of the sharpest weapons we have in spiritual warfare. Pastor Rusty Nelson lays out a clear, challenging definition that cuts through hype and performance: worship is surrender and obedience. When we actually live that out, it doesn’t just change a Sunday service. It changes how we face temptation, fear, distraction, and the constant pressure of a noisy world.
