Meet Mary from Kenya
A very special guest

Pastor Young and Mary

Meet Mary from Kenya, Africa. Why is she so special? We met Mary this morning as a DIRECT result from THIS BLOG - www.therockchurch.us. Mary said that she was looking for Pentecostal Churches in the Sacramento, CA area and came across THE ROCK CHURCH in the top of the search engines. After visiting the other websites, she said that she kept coming back to TRC because she looked at the pictures and videos and loved the way we worshipped JESUS... just the way she was used to worshipping in Africa. This is just the beginning of a "BIG" wave of REVIVAL coming our way as the Elk Grove Community continues to watch THE ROCK CHURCH of Sacramento, CA. Won't you join us also?

God Bloggers' Head to National Conference

2005-10-16T19:37:00.000-07:00

By GILLIAN FLACCUS, Associated Press Writer Sun Oct 16, 4:24 AM ET

LA MIRADA, Calif. - What would Jesus blog? That and other pressing questions drew 135 Christians to Southern California this weekend for a national conference billed as the first-ever for "God bloggers," a growing community of online writers who exchange information and analyze current events from a Christian perspective.

The three-day conference at Biola University marked an important benchmark for Christian bloggers, who have worked behind the scenes for years to spread the Gospel and infuse politics with religion.

Topics included God bloggers' relationship with the traditional church, their growing influence on mainstream politics and how to manage outsiders' perceptions.

Some predicted bloggers could play a role in reforming the modern church by keeping televangelists and other high-profile Christian leaders honest.

Joe Carter, author of evangelicaloutpost.com., compared blogging to the 95 Theses posted by Martin Luther nearly 500 years ago that launched the Protestant Reformation.

"It's like putting 95 blogs out there," said Carter, who previously said God bloggers offer an "uncensored and unadulterated" view of contemporary Christian thought on politics and organized religion.

Many bloggers are now writing about religious oppression, poverty and world hunger, instead of hot-button issues such as abortion, homosexuality and assisted suicide, said the Rev. Andrew Jackson, a seminary professor and pastor at the Word of Grace Church in Mesa, Ariz.

"With blogging you tend to break out of those circles and you see other points of view," Carter said. "There's a bigger world out there than gay marriage and abortion."

At one well-attended workshop — "When Non-Christians Read Your Blog" — Biola University professor Timothy Muehlhoff gave instructions on writing about faith without alienating nonbelievers.

He stressed that God blogging has the potential to be a "train wreck" because done wrong it can reinforce stereotypes of evangelical Christians as angry and close-minded "pit bulls of the culture wars."

"As Christians today we are embroiled in the argument culture and we have forgotten this one thing: 'Blessed are the peacemakers.'," he said. "Wouldn't it be nice if we could say we brought a level of civility back to the conversation?"

Jackson, who blogs at smartchristian.com, said he wasn't as sure what long-term influence blogging would have on evangelical Christians — but he knew it would be important.

"We are just at the beginning of what is going on," he said. "We need to start thinking about how we can harness and focus the Christian blogosphere for greater impact."

Athony is 25 years old and has Spina Bifida hear his testimony after 800 hospitalizations and 78 surgeries.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is : Anthony, I'm 25 yrs. old I was born with what's called "Spina Bifida" it's a neurological disorder. An because of this I'm in a wheelchair, I've had 70 surgeries in my life and over eight hundred hospitalizations. I've died once one the operating table, I was gone for seven and a half hours, and God brought me back to life !!you might say that's impossable, well I'm here to tell you nothing is to hard for God! I know one thing no one can ever tell me that God don't still raise the dead!! I also thank God for the talent he has given me, I am a Calligrapher of seventeen yrs. I have been studying, and doing Calligraphy since I was eight years old. I thank God everyday for all the things he has given me, I truly am blessed!!!!

Well I'm back, I just got out of the hospital, this saturday. I just had my seventy first surgery. I know its alot of surgeries but when ever I feel like I can't deal with life anymore , God just brings me back to this scripture. It says: I can do ALL things through Christ, who strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

About Spina Bifida

Over 250,000 Americans are in the Spina Bifida Community. An estimated 70,000 people in the United States are currently living with spina bifida, the most common permanently disabling birth defect. Spina Bifida is a neural tube defect that happens in the first month of pregnancy when the spinal column doesnât close completely. There are 60 million women at risk of having a baby born with Spina Bifida. Everyday, an average of 8 babies are affected by Spina Bifida or a similar birth defect of the brain and spine. Each year, about 3,000 pregnancies are affected by these birth defects.

The Challenges of Spina Bifida

Angie fountain The effects of Spina Bifida are different for every person. Up to 90 percent of children with the worst form of Spina Bifida have hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) and must have surgery to insert a âshuntâ that helps drain the fluidâthe shunt stays in place for the lifetime of the person. Other conditions include full or partial paralysis, bladder and bowel control difficulties, learning disabilities, depression, latex allergy and social and sexual issues.

Thanks to new medical treatments and technology, most people born with Spina Bifida can expect to live a normal life. People with Spina Bifida have many special challenges because of their birth defect, but their condition does not define who they are. People with Spina Bifida have careers, get married and have children just like people who donât have Spina Bifida.

Raising The Rock
With 25 years in the area, the church builds on a solid foundation in Elk Grove
By Sandy Louey -- Bee Staff Writer
Published 2:15 am PDT Sunday, August 7, 2005
Story appeared in Elk grove laguna section, Page N1
The enormous building along Bradshaw Road has been mistaken for a Home Depot by curious motorists.

But it's not another big-box store setting up shop in Elk Grove. It's the future home of The Rock Church.

The 94,000-square-foot building, built on 25 acres near Bradshaw and Calvine roads, looms over The Rock's current home next door. The congregation has outgrown the church it moved into in 1985.

"A building this size is a work in progress," the Rev. Myles Young said of the new church. "It's overwhelming at times."

Young said it is hoped the $9.2 million facility will be finished by November, so its first service could take place the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

When completed, the modern facility will have administrative offices, a coffee shop, bookstore, prayer room, recording studio, Sunday school and a state-of-the-art classroom that will serve as a satellite site of Patten University. The sanctuary will have 2,500 seats, with the ability to expand to 5,000 - making it one of the largest churches in the Sacramento region.

Adventure Christian Church in Roseville seats 3,000, while Capital Christian Center in Sacramento holds 2,700. The seating capacity for Trinity Life Center in Sacramento is 2,400.

Young said attendance at The Rock Church, a nondenominational Pentecostal church, has grown to 1,400, and that trend is expected to continue. During Sunday services, the current church can hold up to 1,000 people if metal chairs are set up.

"There's no room to sit right now," said Matt Gordon of Elk Grove, a 16-year church member who is the on-site construction manager for the new facility.

The Rock Church, which began in West Sacramento 25 years ago, has been in its current location for 20 years. Seven portables sit behind the existing building.

Young said the average age of its members is younger than 40, with most coming from Elk Grove, Sacramento, and Rancho Cordova.

Young, who served as a youth pastor at The Rock Church 15 years ago, remembers when attendance was only about 300 and pastures surrounded the church.

"There was nothing out here," he said.

The church's new facility is the culmination of seven years of planning. Construction started in May 2004, Young said.

Even after the move to the new building, Young said the church will continue to have branch ministries in areas such as Del Paso Heights, Sacramento and Rancho Cordova.

Within a year after the move, Young said the church's former building will be converted into a multipurpose room and youth center so that all youth-related ministries will be based there. Plans also call for a Spanish-speaking service to be offered there, he said.

Gordon, who was part of an initial design committee for the church's new facility, said it has been fulfilling to be involved in the project from design to construction.

"It's overdue," he said. "We've needed a building for too long."

Revival Revealed
By: Darren Bocksnick

The parables of Jesus are considered favorites amongst many readers of God’s Word for they possess the unique ability of making spiritual application out of the most mundane, ordinary things. Some of his most profound truths were unveiled in these simple “life lessons” by revealing their deeper, divine significance and relating them to every age, era and individual to which they were addressed.

So, it must have sounded somewhat strange, even aloof when Jesus began to speak to his closest followers about certain spiritual events, even about the fulfilling of prophesies soon to unfold, but without a common, routine event to equate these “unordinary” teachings to, they were perhaps, confused and bewildered; yet nonetheless- obedient. Factor in the sense of loss and hopelessness that each believer most certainly felt at the reality of his death, burial, resurrection and eventual departure from their ranks- and you have the prime elements that constitute a potential, dire situation. Yet, though despondent and in despair, they remained his disciples and did as he commanded.

Homage to A Hero

Homage to A Hero
By Darren Bocksnick

History is replete with the awe-inspiring accounts of
real-life, every day hero’s, whose feats are forever
forged in our memories and whose exploits live on in
our thoughts. Their names still ring like anthems in
our ears and their life stories are the stuff that
legends are made of…

They are the Dwight D. Eisenhower’s among us who, as
the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, led the
way to victory and freed the world of Nazism and
tyranny. They are the Martin Luther King Juniors among
us who envisioned an America without prejudice and
inspired a generation to be free of racism. They are
the John F. Kennedy’s among us who as President of the
United States of America, stood down the eminent
threat of a nuclear crisis, pushed back the enemy to
his borders and finally, challenged the nation to lead
the world in space exploration.

They are the soldiers fulfilling their duty, honoring
their country, sacrificing for the freedoms we so now
enjoy. They are the Richard Collins among us, who as a Sniper Spcl
with the 3rd Infantry-21st Battlion, US Army, is now fighting for a
free Iraq and to create a Democracy where peace can
reside, progress can begin and stability in the region
can endure.

Who, leaving his faithful wife, Angela and his two
beautiful children, Dakota and Montana, ages 3 and 4, behind, performed his duty to
country sacrificially, yet wholeheartedly so that an
impoverished people may know freedom without fear.
Who, during the return from a Stryker convoy mission,
that had been engaged in a fierce firefight with insurgents, was unexpectly struck
by a suicide bomb that blew him out of the Stryker and left him flash burned, battered, bleeding, and unconscious. Since he was defending the Stryker in the vulnerable position on the rear hatch, he was exposed directly to the explosion, and consequently, the one in his unit who suffered the most injuries.

People like Richard Collins are the real hero’s among
us whose suffering speaks of sacrificial duty and
whose injuries remind us again of the price of
freedom, but nonetheless, that the cause for freedom
is worth every cost, even if it meant his life. He was
willing to offer himself to God, country and to his
fellow man so that they too, might come to know those
things we hold dear.

The Richard Collins among us are the soldiers, whose
life story inspires generations and from which legends
are born. Their dutiful exploits are forever forged in
the forefront of our thoughts and their sacrifices
will never be forgotten…

End Time Prophecies and Miracles- A Daily Affair!
March 21st, 2005

Written By: Darren Bocksnick

Heaven’s agenda revealed its intent among the affairs of men once again as numerous were filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus name at The Rock Church here in Elk Grove, California. Though the outpouring of the Holy Ghost should be nothing new to the Pentecostal, it is not always commonplace among certain, Pentecostal circles. Such is not the case at The Rock Church! Every service, people are filled with the Holy Ghost and miracles of healings, along with tongues and interpretation are so regular and ongoing that it literally patterns God’s template for a book of Acts church!
