True to His Character

The Rescue Church ·

2025/03/26

Sometimes people let us down when they don’t follow through or do what they say they’ll do. But what about God? Can we trust Him to be faithful? This weekend we’ll explore the story of Sarah and Abraham to see that even when doubts creep in and timing seems off, God always keeps His promises. It’s who He is. Join us as we explore His unwavering faithfulness - then, now and forever - and see what this means for us.

Mistaken As The Main Character

The Rescue Church ·

2025/03/15

This week we will wrap up our series through the book of Jonah. It’s an incredible story of life’s struggles, forgiveness, repentance and second chances. In the final chapter of the book of Jonah, God has still another lesson to teach our friend Jonah before ending the chapter with a proverbial mic drop.

A Second Chance

Legendary UCLA Men’s Basketball Coach John Wooden once said, “Failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be.” This week, as we continue our series through Jonah, we’ll dive into Jonah 3 and see how Jonah’s second chance led to a life-changing impact on over 100,000 people.If you’ve ever felt like you’ve failed and need another chance—or if you’re striving to make the most of the life you’ve been given—this message is for you. Don’t miss it!

Crying Out To God

The Rescue Church ·

2025/02/28

At times, life seems to throw us into situations where we feel powerless and uncertain about what comes next. In our series on Jonah, we’ll explore how he faced a moment completely out of his control—and how his response can teach us something valuable. Join us this weekend as we dive into his story and discover what it means for us today.

There Is More To It

The Rescue Church ·

2025/02/07

We have been talking the past 4 weeks about our vision to see 100% of the people in our communities know they are loved by Jesus, 100% of the people in our communities know about having a personal relationship with Jesus and 100% of those who have a relationship with Jesus being connected to a local church. But, the vision is bigger than our communities. We’ll talk more about the places beyond our communities and why they matter this weekend.

A Life Changing Meal Plan

The Rescue Church ·

2025/01/20

Does your Faith, your relationship with God, truly impact your life or is it just a label you embrace? You likely want it to make a difference, but can you name one way your relationship with God has impacted your life this past week? This week we are going to see how the decisions we make can lead to incredible, positive impact on our lives and from there, on the lives of those around us.

Remember Why You Do It

The Rescue Church ·

2025/01/19

We are in week 2 of the series we are calling “100.” Throughout this series we are exploring what it looks like to see 100% of the people in our communities know they are loved by Jesus,, 100% of the people in our communities know what it means to have a relationship with Jesus and 100% of the Christians in our communities experience the benefits of connecting with the Church. This week we’re exploring what it looks like to have an authentic love like Jesus. Hopefully you can join us.

Included in Something Big

The Rescue Church ·

2025/01/07

Using the vineyard metaphor, Jesus invites us to join Him in a mission to impact the world. This weekend we’re talking about our incredible opportunity, as well as our possible reactions. How have you reacted up till now? What is your reaction moving forward? Our prayer is that over these next four weeks, you will leave encouraged to impact your community and beyond…because of Jesus.

Importance of Becoming a Giver

The Rescue Church ·

2025/01/03

Gift giving is a common occurrence during the Christmas season. The best gift givers find ways to give gifts special and significant to the person receiving it. When we give well, we impact the people around us in incredible ways, so this weekend we are looking at John 3:14-18 and talking about becoming a giver who makes a positive impact on others. Chances are, you want to positively impact the world around you, so you should come and be a part of our conversation.

Living INlightened

The Rescue Church ·

2025/01/03

Have you ever been challenged to do something or try something? Of course you have! And if you tried it, what happened next? You likely told people about the experience. This weekend we are going to look at John 1:35-42a and talk about something you might want to try. Hopefully we see you there.

Unwrapping the Gospel: Sin, Grace, and the Savior

The Rescue Church ·

2024/12/19

What happens when a tourist in Jamaica is offered a winter coat—or a freezing South Dakotan is handed snorkel gear? The absurdity highlights an important truth: context matters. In this week’s message from John 1:29-34, we’ll explore how understanding our sin deepens our appreciation for God’s gift of grace through Jesus. Only when we realize our need for a Savior can we truly grasp the significance of Christmas.

Help For His Children

The Rescue Church ·

2024/11/25

At times it can be tempting to think “I’m better on my own” or “I can do this by myself.” As Jesus was getting ready to leave his closest friends, he knew they needed help. If they were going to do what he was asking of them, they couldn’t do it alone. Even bigger than that, if they were going to become the people he knew they could be, they couldn’t become that version of themselves on their own. You can’t do all you could do or be all you can be if you’re doing it on your own. Good news: yo...

Wonderful Not Worthless

The Rescue Church ·

2024/10/09

Wonderful has become an old word. It’s definitely not wonderful. One likely doesn’t hear high schoolers yelling, “that’s wonderful!” when something great happens. Merriam-Webster says it means “unusually good.” So when God through the Psalmist says we were “wonderfully made” it is as if he was saying the way we were created was “unusually good.” This is significantly better than an average creation by a typical creator. You are an above average creation, wonderfully made! We’re exploring this...

Single But Not Alone

The Rescue Church ·

2024/10/04

There can be a lot of pressure to find the right person to date as a teenager, an adult in one’s twenties or at any time, really. Like Tom Cruise’s character in Jerry Maguire there is a feeling we need someone else to “complete” us. We think we need our Dorothy. Join us as we explore the topic of singleness this weekend, see what Jesus had to say about it and learn how the Church can better support those who are single.

Divorce... Thankful for Grace

The Rescue Church ·

2024/09/27

One of the criticism of Christians and those who attend church has been the rules. From the outside, and often from within, it can seem Christianity is full of do’s and don’ts that are preached about in church services, but not lived out throughout the rest of the week. It’s a fair critique and not unique to the 21st century. Jesus addresses rules based religion in one of his earliest recorded sermons with a variety of topics, including divorce. Hopefully you can join us and learn how this ap...

Impacted and Impactful

The Rescue Church ·

2024/09/16

In a blog post, Carey Nieuwhof reviews some information coming out of a study done by Barna Group which shows only 21% of those identifying as Non-Christian have a positive perception of the local church. As a whole, only 44% of males and 49% of females surveyed have a positive perception of the local church. While the goal of the local church may not be to make everyone like it, what should the goal be? It’s likely not what culture at large suspects. This is what we will discuss in this week...

A Waste of Time

The Rescue Church ·

2024/09/10

Productivity has been a buzzword for years. In training for the decades old Franklin Covey Planner, they encouraged a person to write down their tasks for the day and note the importance of completing them in descending order. Since then, and probably before then, productivity experts have taught about prioritizing tasks and then addressing them in priority order. The we don’t do this, we can find ourselves distracted by less important things and fail to accomplish the most important things. ...
