Current Sermon Series
FROM ZACH
Summer is a good season to build! Scripture teaches that what we build our lives on determines whether we’ll endure when life heats up. Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount reminds us that hearing God’s Word without obeying it leaves us vulnerable: “Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). He contrasts that with the person who hears but doesn’t live it out: “the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house,” and the result is that it “fell… and great was the fall” (Matthew 7:25–27). This summer, let’s build with lasting materials: God’s truth, lived obedience, and consistent trust!
Throughout July, we’ll continue on in our “What’s the Difference?” series and cover Mormonism, Islam, Wicca, and Buddhism. I want to again emphasize that this series isn’t about bashing other people’s beliefs, but recognizing that all religions are not the same. The series is more about knowing who we are as Jesus followers than it is knowing more about cults and other world religions. In our series, we’ll examine what each tradition teaches and how those beliefs shape practice. We’ll do it with clarity and respect, and we’ll anchor our understanding in what Scripture says about truth and the importance of being able to give a reason for what we believe. The Bible encourages us to approach learning and conversations with wisdom: “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth” (John 17:17), and “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15). Our goal isn’t to be argumentative, it’s to understand differences so we can discuss them thoughtfully and faithfully, and so we can keep our own faith rooted.
Even if we’re traveling for the summer, worship isn’t something we set aside until things slow down, it’s something we bring with us. Hebrews calls believers to stay connected and consistent: “Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together… but encouraging one another” (Hebrews 10:24–25). The summer schedule may change, but our commitment to the Lord can remain steadfast. And giving matters because God uses faithful generosity to sustain ministry and reach others. Scripture puts it clearly: “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” (2 Corinthians 9:6), and “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion” (2 Corinthians 9:7). If you’re able to attend and to give while traveling, you’ll be helping keep ministry strong all summer long.
July means camp season is here! Parents and grandparents: encourage the next generation to grow at church camp. Sign your kids up for church camp at Maranatha Bible Camp in Everton, MO here (registration link): https://maranathabiblecamp.org/registration/. Before you register, email our Children’s Director, Jeana, at jeana@rogerscc.org or our Student Pastor, Isaac, at isaac@rogerscc.org to confirm those dates! Church camp is a powerful time to learn Scripture, make godly friends, and build habits of prayer and obedience. It’s also a chance for families to invest in what will last. God’s Word instructs us to nurture faith across generations: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).
As we head deeper into summer, let’s return to the foundation again and again. Scripture doesn’t call us to start strong for a moment, it calls us to keep building until our faith shows up in everyday life. James says, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (James 1:22), and Paul reminds us that we’re meant to be “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20). So wherever we go this season, be it into busy schedules, summer travel, and everyday distractions, let’s keep building with Christ at the center, living out His Word with consistency, love, and faithfulness.
See you Sunday, RCC!
In Christ,
Zach

Manteniéndose Firmes en Tiempos de Incertidumbre
Querida familia de Rogers Comunidad Cristiana (RCC):
Vivimos en tiempos de incertidumbre. Cada día enfrentamos nuevos desafíos, preocupaciones y preguntas sobre el futuro. Es fácil permitir que el miedo y la ansiedad ocupen nuestro corazón. Sin embargo, como hijos de Dios, nuestra confianza no está puesta en las circunstancias, sino en Aquel que nunca cambia.
Porque ¿qué es vuestra vida? Ciertamente es neblina que se aparece por un poco de tiempo, y luego se desvanece. Santiago 4:14
La vida es pasajera, pero Dios permanece fiel para siempre. Él ha sostenido a Su pueblo a lo largo de la historia y también sostendrá nuestras vidas hoy.
Por nada estéis afanosos, sino sean conocidas vuestras peticiones delante de Dios en toda oración y ruego, con acción de gracias. Y la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, guardará vuestros corazones y vuestros pensamientos en Cristo Jesús. Filipenses 4:6–7
Ahora más que nunca, permanezcamos firmes en la fe. Sigamos congregándonos, estudiando la Palabra de Dios, orando unos por otros y compartiendo la esperanza que solo Jesucristo puede ofrecer.
Recordemos siempre la promesa del Señor: No temas, porque yo estoy contigo; no desmayes, porque yo soy tu Dios que te esfuerzo; siempre te ayudaré, siempre te sustentaré con la diestra de mi justicia. Isaías 41:10
Mi oración es que cada familia de RCC permanezca firme, confiando plenamente en el Señor. Mantengamos nuestros ojos en Cristo y avancemos con la seguridad de que Él sigue siendo fiel.
Nuestra esperanza no está en este mundo; nuestra esperanza tiene un nombre: Jesucristo.
Con cariño pastoral,

Standing Firm in Times of Uncertainty
Dear Rogers Christian Church (RCC) Family,
We are living in uncertain times. Every day brings new challenges, concerns, and questions about the future. It is easy to allow fear and anxiety to fill our hearts. But as children of God, our confidence is not in our circumstances—it is in the Lord, who never changes.
What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James 4:14
Life is temporary, but God's promises are eternal. He has faithfully sustained His people throughout history, and He will continue to sustain us today.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6–7
Now more than ever, let us remain steadfast in our faith. Continue gathering with your church family, studying God's Word, praying for one another, and sharing the hope that only Jesus Christ can give.
Always remember God's promise:
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
My prayer is that every RCC family will remain strong in the Lord, fully trusting His promises. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Christ and move forward with confidence, knowing that He is always faithful.
Our hope is not found in this world—our hope has a name: Jesus Christ.
With pastoral love,
Pastor Arturo Mejía

Happy July, RCC Kids families!
Summer is in full swing, and we have so many exciting opportunities this month for your family to grow together in faith. Whether your child is headed off to camp, joining us on Sunday mornings, or spreading out a blanket for movie night, we can’t wait to spend the month with you!
📖 This Month in RCC Kids
We’re continuing our journey through The Biggest Story with Lessons 28–31, following God’s incredible plan as He continues to rescue His people and point them toward Jesus. Each week we’ll discover more about God’s faithfulness and how every story in the Bible fits into His one great story of redemption. We encourage you to ask your kids what they learned each Sunday and spend a few minutes talking about how they see God at work in their own lives.
⛺ Church Camps
Camp season is finally here! We are praying that every student attending camp experiences genuine community, unforgettable fun, and most importantly, a deeper relationship with Jesus.
Please join us in praying for:
