Being Challenge
A strong relationship with God gives us strength for anything life throws at us.
The most important target to hit as a disciple of Jesus is BEING in a relationship with Him. We know what it’s like to have the desire to grow in our relationship with God and yet feel stagnant. Being Challenge leads readers to a stronger relationship with God through simple challenges that focus on the 5 keystone habits of Jesus: community, scripture, prayer, solitude and church.

Elephant in the Room
Do you have some burning, perhaps troubling questions that you would love to ask and to talk about here at church but think it might be too uncomfortable to do so? An Elephant in the room is a major problem or controversial issue that is obviously present but is avoided in discussion because it is more comfortable to avoid it.
This summer, we want you to ask these questions.
We will address them in our sermon series.
Nothing is off limits.
We live in some challenging times. There are lots of questions in our lives and in our world and we want to hear from you. We don’t have to play it safe as Christians. We have the wisdom of the ages - Jesus – and His Word that reveals His heart, His truth, and His Wisdom.
To submit questions, use the form here or email elephant@stmatthewrocklin.com

Built Together
Have you ever longed to be a part of something bigger than yourself?....something that can fill your life with purpose, meaning, and connection? We believe that God brings us together in a specific time and place to find a meaning we never knew we could have as we do life together. Discover what this looks like here at St. Matthew as we explore how we are “Built Together” by God for just such a time as this.

Doing Life with Jesus
Jesus said, “Come, follow me.” (Mark 1:17) This is Jesus’ invitation to the life we all seek, given to the first disciples and to us. The simple, yet profound message of Jesus is that our purpose, meaning, and fulfillment is found only in Him; as we follow Him.
In this time between Christmas and Easter we will work through the Gospel of Mark together, one chapter a week, exploring what this means as we join His first disciples in hearing His words, walking in His footsteps, and knowing His heart. What does it mean to be a disciple – a follower of Jesus? What does it look like? What does it entail? How does it inform how I see myself and my world?... How I think? How I feel? What I say and what I do? Together, as we walk through the book of Mark, our prayer is that God, the Holy Spirit, will show us and empower us to receive it and to live in it. For this is what we were created for! This is His gift to us!
So, here is the “one-two step” of our immersion in Mark together as we look to follow Jesus. In this way, we will have worked through the first 13 chapters of Mark by Palm Sunday, which ushers in the last three chapters of the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Thus, we will work through the entire book!
1. Before each Sunday (beginning January 19th) we would invite you to read through the corresponding chapter of Mark (the first chapter for week one etc.) two or three times, asking yourself, “What is the Holy Spirt teaching me here?” And “What am I supposed to do about it?”
2. The week following each Sunday, we will give you some questions that we would invite you to work through with a group of Christians, if at all possible, as well as prayer suggestions. There is something powerful about coming together in groups to grow as disciples of Jesus!
It is so exciting for me to work through an entire Gospel together with all of you! It is a joy to give everyone an opportunity to do this! I know that God will be at work in each of us as His Spirit touches us through His Word and I look forward with great anticipation to see what He will do! I hope and pray that YOU will be able to be a part of it!
