We often become disappointed with people because we expect them to meet needs that only God can meet. Your spouse, your children, your friends, and your pastor cannot be your Savior. They can love you, pray for you, and encourage you, but they cannot carry the weight of your soul. That belongs to God. When we understand that truth, we can love people without demanding that they be God for us.

One of the painful realities of discipleship is that some people can only walk with you for a season, but they cannot walk every mile. There are places God will take you that your friends cannot enter, and battles only you can fight. You may have to choose obedience when everyone else chooses comfort, which can be lonely. However, obedience is not measured by how many people accompany you, but by whether you follow Jesus.

Y'all! This is our very own Dalton McMichael high school, less than 5 minutes from the church! They are hanging tough in 3rd place, but they need every vote we can get. The money from this competition could be huge. These are our local kids, some are our nieces, nephews, & grandchildren.

Let's light up the scoreboard RoCo style!

Have you ever prayed, "God, if there is another way, please don't let this happen?". Jesus prayed that exact honest prayer when He asked for the cup of suffering to pass from Him. But He followed it with the most difficult word of surrender: "Yet". He prayed, "Yet not as I will, but as you will". True discipleship sometimes means walking forward when you are afraid, when you don't understand, and when you wish there were another way.

Sometimes Christians think having faith means pretending everything is fine, but Jesus didn’t do that. In the garden, Jesus acknowledged His anguish and admitted that His soul was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. He didn't hide His distress or pretend the night was easy. Emotional honesty is not a spiritual failure. You can love God and still hurt, have faith and still cry, and trust God while still being afraid.

The word "Gethsemane" is related to the idea of an olive press, a place where olives were crushed under enormous pressure to release their oil. When Jesus entered Gethsemane, He was pressed under the weight of the world's sin, betrayal, and suffering. There is something prophetic about this setting, as the olive must be pressed before the oil flows. If you feel crushed by the pressure of your current season, remember that you are not alone. Jesus understands the weight of your burden, and God is still working in the dark.
