Red Rocks Church Weekend Messages

God doesn't just change what we do. He transforms who we are.John began as a Son of Thunder, marked by anger, selfish ambition, and insecurity. But through his relationship with Jesus, he became known as the Apostle of Love.Through Luke 9, Mark 9–10, Acts 8, and 1 John, this message explores how time with Jesus can transform human anger into kingdom fire, selfish ambition into kingdom drive, and personal insecurity into kingdom confidence.We are a bunch of imperfect people pursuing a perfect God. And just like John, we can be transformed by spending time with Jesus.

What lies have you started believing about yourself? That you’re too broken? That God couldn’t choose you? That you’ll never change?In “Don’t Let the Devil Bully You,” Doug Wekenman unpacks how the enemy uses lies, fear, and shame to keep us stuck—and how God’s truth sets us free. Condemnation tells you to stay away from Jesus. Conviction invites you to come back, where you’ll be met with mercy and grace.You’re not condemned—you’re being redeemed. You’re not rejected—you’re chosen. And you’re not just trying—you’re in training.Discover how to replace the lies with truth, take your next step in obedience, and run the race God has marked out for you.

We are imperfect people pursuing a perfect God.In this message, Shawn Johnson reminds us that we are welcomed, loved, valued, and wanted by God—and that we were never meant to pursue Him alone.Come as you are. Pursue God together.

What do you do when you don’t feel qualified for what God has called you to do?In week one of Imperfect People, we look at the story of Moses and the gap between our weaknesses and God’s calling. Moses asked, “Who am I?” But instead of focusing on who Moses was, God revealed who He is: “I AM WHO I AM.”Our weaknesses do not disqualify us from being used by God. His grace is sufficient, His power is made perfect in weakness, and He is everything we’re not. When you don’t have what it takes, He does.

What do you do when life doesn’t add up?Through the story of Job, Andrew Zajicek reminds us that even when we don’t understand what God is doing—or can’t seem to find Him—we can still trust Him. Sometimes our hardest seasons move us from simply hearing about God to truly seeing Him.“My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” — Job 42:5
