Church On The Rock St Augustine

The Belt of Truth | Pastor Josh Hersey | Battle Rattle

Is what you believe actually true? Satan’s greatest weapon isn’t temptation—it’s deception. In this message, we unpack the importance of truth in spiritual warfare and how the enemy actively works to manipulate, deceive, and destroy lives.
Truth isn’t just an idea; it’s a person—Jesus Christ. He is our foundation and protection against the enemy’s schemes. Satan primarily attacks in three ways:
1️⃣ Casting doubt on the reliability of Scripture
2️⃣ Making you question your worth as God's creation
3️⃣ Challenging God's goodness based on circumstances
 
The belt of truth, the first piece of the armor of God (Ephesians 6), holds everything together. To stand firm against deception, we must:
✅ Fully submit to God's Word—not just follow parts of it
✅ Embrace our identity as God’s masterpiece
✅ Learn the difference between God's loving conviction and Satan's destructive condemnation
When we recognize and replace the enemy’s lies with God’s truth, we walk in spiritual victory and authentic faith. Are you ready to fight deception with truth? Listen now!

This Means War | Pastor Josh Hersey | Battle Rattle

Are you fighting the right battles? Too often, we struggle against people, circumstances, or even ourselves—when the real enemy is unseen. Spiritual warfare is real, and if we don’t recognize it, we risk fighting the wrong fight and losing ground in our faith.
In this message, we’ll uncover:
⚔️ The true nature of our battles—spiritual, not physical.
🛡️ The full armor of God and how to use it for victory.
🔥 How Satan strategically works to distract, divide, and destroy believers.
🙏 The power of prayer and God's Word in overcoming opposition.
The enemy carefully studies our weaknesses, our emotions, and our relationships, seeking ways to derail our purpose. But God has already equipped us with everything we need to stand firm! Victory comes when we shift our focus from fighting people to recognizing the spiritual forces at work and taking authority through Christ.
📖 Ephesians 6:10-18 – "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes."

Through Life Experiences | Pastor Josh Hersey | Teach Me

Life is full of ups and downs, but every experience—good or bad—can be a powerful teacher in our spiritual journey. Throughout Scripture, we see how God used imperfect people like David, Moses, and Peter to fulfill His perfect will. No mistake or hardship is too big for His redemptive power!
 
In this message, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to go beyond human limitations and how challenges shape our endurance, character, and faith. No matter your past, God can turn your story into a testimony for His glory.

What Does It Really Mean to Be a Disciple?

In this week's episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh and Trevor look into a word that gets thrown around a lot in Christian circles—"disciple." But what does it actually mean to be a disciple of Jesus? With only 4% of Americans identifying as disciples, we have to ask: Is the call of discipleship too difficult, or is it both easier and harder than we think?
Join us as we unpack the true meaning of following Jesus and what it looks like in our everyday lives.
