How? Our Mission

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 07:28:15 PST

We have had this mission statement for years...We exist to Love God, Love People, and bring the two together. That is all about relationships. So what does that look like? We want to create relational enviornments where we can...love God, love people, and bring them together. That's what God wants from us.

How? Our mission.

Reaching The World With Jesus One Person At A Time: God's Vision...Our Vision?

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 07:27:21 PST

Beginning a new series "Reaching The World With Jesus One Person At A Time." Our leaders and I went to a conference (Immersion I) where we participated in small groups and saw what life can be like as we live life together discipling one another in small groups. We took that and are currently implementing this process within our church. The one core value that we as a church have always voiced but have difficulty putting into practice is that we believe we are to be disciples of Jesus and that we should be "making disciples" just as the great commission says. So this series is going to explore how we might do that better...and it begins with knowing what exactly our vision is and does that line up with what Jesus asked us to be and do?

God's Vision...Our Vision?

Our life with Christ is so much more than rules, it is all about a relationship with Jesus.

Sermon number 4 in the six week series...

The Comfortable Cross

Not A Fan: Fan or Follower

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:29:22 PST

New series begins this week from the book by Kyle Idleman called "not a fan." We are doing a six week series and study from the book on Wed. nights. If you are in the area, it is still not too late to join in the study. Kyle asks some hard questions, just like Jesus did. Jesus drew the line in the sand many times and ask people to be followers instead of just fans. Which are you?

Let Jesus Lead

Eric Owens kicked off our year with a great message about letting Jesus lead your life in everything.

Let Jesus Lead

Greater Things Yet To Come

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:13:45 PST

Our student minister Eric Owens brought our message this week. God has so much in store for us as a body of believers here in Rincon, and for each of you wherever God has placed you. Are you willing and available? Are you ready to accept all that Jesus has done for you?

Greater Things Yet To Come

Only God Can Do The Cleaning

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:10:34 PST

Last in our You Catch'em He'll Clean'em series. We all have to recongize that only God can clean up our broken and dirty lives...to make us each clean...washed by the blood of Jesus. A simple fact, but hard to allow in ourselves.

Only God Can Do The Cleaning

Present The Bait

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:07:53 PST

This week we talked about going fishing. If you are going to be a fisher of men, you must know how to present your bait. See how Jesus accomplished this as we continue to look at being fishers of men.

Present The Bait

Sorry...More technical difficulties

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:12:03 PDT

To all of our loyal followers...

We have had some trouble with out audio equipment the last few weeks so our recordings have not come out properly. The last three weeks messages did not record so obviously have not been able to post them. Sorry for the inconvenience. We have had a great month of worship. We have had three baptisms and two came to be prayed for and desire a closer relationship with Jesus. God is changing lives at RFCC.

Two weeks ago I spoke about surrendering from the viewpoint of the boy with the 5 loaves and two fish. Then we had a missionary speaker, Mark Begarly who spoke about the power of God. This last Sunday we looked at fish that need to "return" to Jesus, just like Peter did after he had denied Christ...he returned to Jesus on the beach. Jesus came looking for him, and Peter responded. What about you? If you have been away from Jesus, maybe it is time for you to return again.

That's a quick update...looking to a great November.

You Catch'em, He'll Clean'em: "Running"

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 08:00:26 PDT

Maybe you find yourself "Running" like Jonah.

"Running"

You Catch'em, He'll Clean'em: "Searching"

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 07:57:41 PDT

This is the first sermon of our new series. I'm sure you have heard many sermons on how we as Christians are called to be "fishers of men." That is what Christ calls us to. I want to take a look this month at the "fish." We are all fish and need to be caught by Christ. When we are caught, he cleans us. So we begin with looking at the idea of "Searching." Are you a searching fish? Are you looking for something but don't know what it might be? So was the Ethiopian Eunuch. Let's take a look at what we can learn from this fish who had a desire to be caught.

"Searching"

Saturated With The Son

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 07:08:51 PDT

What fills your heart will lead your life. Just like a sponge. What does that have anything to do with anything you are thinking? If you fill a sponge with water and give it a squeeze, what is going to come out? Milk? Orange Juice? Chocolate? As much as we might like it, no. If you fill a sponge with water and squeeze...water comes out. What comes out of you when you are "squeezed?" If you are Saturated with Jesus...Jesus comes out. Has to...because that is what you are filled with. Take a listen and explore what being Saturated with the Son means for you.

Saturated With The Son.

Saturated With Truth

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 07:02:48 PDT

What does being saturated with the truth look like? I believe many of us really don't want to know the truth...yet alone live by the truth. How would your life change if you were saturated with truth.

Saturated With Truth

Saturated With Love

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:20:20 PDT

On a day that is still very emotional for many of us Americans, how should we as believers be responding when bad things happen, especially to our nation such as the events of 9/11. Should we, can we, respond saturated with love? And if so, what does that look like? Is that the way Jesus would want us to respond? Listen and let's hear what kind of discussion this might bring up in your circle of influence.

Saturated With Love

Saturated With Light

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:16:31 PDT

New sermon series entitles Saturate. What does your life look like if it is truly saturated with Jesus? First it would be saturated with light. How would that impact your life and the lives of those around you if you were saturated with light? This study in 1 John will help us answer some of those questions.

Saturated With Light

Patience and Prayer

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 09:31:59 PDT

Whoa...two big subjects that complement each other very well. This last encouragement from James concludes the series on Living Life With Purpose. Check it out if you dare...

Patience and Prayer: Two P's In A Pod

What's Your Purpose

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 09:29:03 PDT

What's Your Purpose? Big question to answer. Eric Owens, Student Minister at RFCC filled in for me this week and took on a huge topic in our study of James. He did a fantastic job, and gives us all a lot to think about. God has blessed us immensely especially those of us who have been fortunate to be born and raised in America. We are rich. Has that kept us from living out God's purpose for our lives. Eric does a great job of helping us look into ourselves and our real relationship with God. Take a listen.

Totally Out Of Control

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:36:39 PDT

Do you like to be in control? James asks us to live our lives totally out of control and let God have full control of our lives. Not what you thought huh? We usually think living out of control is bad. It's very bad when we try to control our lives instead of letting God have full control. Listen to what James has to say about living totally out of control.

Totally Out Of Control

Word To The Wise

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:34:24 PDT

Continuing the series on Living Life With Purpose, James has a few things to say to those who think they are wise.

Word To The Wise

Be Careful Little Mouth What You Say

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 09:33:22 PDT

What a spitfire the tongue is. Very difficult if not impossible to control. That is why we have to allow Christ to control it for us. This message talks about our tongues and how we are supposed to tame something that is impossible to tame. It was also our family day, so I hope you enjoy.

Be Careful Little Mouth What You Say

What Are You Doing

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:57:27 PDT

Wow...I know you are all amazed. I am up to date on sermon postings. This is last Sunday's sermon from our series Living Life With Purpose from the book of James. It takes another hard look at our hearts and how we are living out our faith. If we are not living out our faith, is it truly faith at all?

What Are You Doing?

Be A Vehicle Of Mercy

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 06:57:59 PDT

Third sermon in the series of Living Life With Purpose. We have received so much from God, that it should be our pleasure to return those same things to others. Mercy is one of those things. Listen carefully, and freshly. But be careful, Jesus may just change your life.

Be A Vehicle Of Mercy

Living Life With Purpose

stageson@gmail.com (Scott Tageson) — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 06:47:36 PDT

We started a new series at RFCC talking about living our lives with purpose. We are going through the book of James. James is a very practical book which means there is a lot of application for us as Christians, and some things that we might not want to be convicted of in our lives. I hope you enjoy and are changed by God as he is lifted up and you are drawn closer to him.
