Pastor Simon Medcroft · Feb 16, 2026
Drawing from Acts 11 and 13 and the example of the church at Antioch, Pastor Simon Medcroft argues that every local church — regardless of size or location — is called to three non-negotiable priorities: reaching out to unbelievers with the gospel through ordinary, everyday Christians; building up the congregation spiritually through consistent, faithful Bible teaching; and sending on both financial resources and gifted people to plant churches and meet needs elsewhere. These priorities, rooted in God's timeless purposes, are what it means for the church to function as a lifeboat rather than a cruise liner.
Pastor Bill Bush · Feb 17, 2025
Drawing from Acts 1:8 and Rock Point's own 23-year story, Pastor Bill argues that the indwelling Holy Spirit is never merely a personal gift — it is the propulsive power for outward mission. Just as the early church exploded from 120 people in Jerusalem to hundreds of thousands across the known world in 25 years, believers today are called to move out with the gospel in their own Jerusalem and to the ends of the earth. The partnership with Mission Essex in England illustrates what that looks like in practice: Spirit-filled people pouring their people and resources into places that desperately need the good news of Jesus.
