Church On The Rock St Augustine

Faith Questions Christians Are Afraid to Ask

What do you do when your faith feels strong one week and distant the next? In the Season 2 finale of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh Hersey answers honest questions about anxiety, depression, habitual sin, doubt, baptism, and what it means to trust Jesus when your feelings and circumstances are constantly changing.
This Christian faith conversation explores how Philippians 4 speaks to anxiety, why confession and biblical community are essential for healing, how believers can bring difficult questions to God, and why doubt does not automatically mean your faith is failing. The conversation also examines baptism as a declaration of allegiance to Jesus, the lordship of Christ, and the question Jesus asked at the Pool of Bethesda: “Do you want to be healed?” Whether you are wrestling with doubt, struggling to break an old pattern, or trying to stay close to Jesus during a difficult season, this episode offers practical biblical encouragement for walking honestly with God.

Do What I Say | Pastor Josh Hersey | From the Vine

In this message from John 15, Pastor Josh explains what it truly means to abide in Jesus, remain connected to the Vine, and allow the Holy Spirit to produce lasting fruit in your life. Jesus never asked us to manufacture love, joy, peace, or self control on our own. He invited us to stay close to Him and receive the life, grace, and transformation that only He can provide.
Through John 15, Mark 12, Romans 7, and 1 John 4, this sermon explores the struggle between faith and failure, the difference between religious striving and genuine relationship with Jesus, and why loving God naturally changes the way we love others. Whether you are battling addiction, regret, disappointment, spiritual exhaustion, or the feeling that you will never be good enough, this message is a reminder that Jesus has already paid the price for your sin. Stop trying to behave your way toward God and learn how to rest, remain, and abide in Christ.

Life Is Busy. Here Is Where Jesus Fits

How do you stay close to Jesus when your work schedule is hectic, your mind is constantly running, and quiet time feels nearly impossible? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, the fellas explore what it practically means to abide in Christ during everyday life. They discuss prayer, worship, work, parenting, spiritual rhythms, and how to become more aware of God’s presence without turning your relationship with Him into another task on your schedule.
Abiding in Jesus does not look exactly the same for everyone. Whether you connect with God through Scripture, music, nature, serving, learning, silence, or conversations throughout your day, the goal is not to copy someone else’s routine. The goal is to invite Jesus into the life you are already living. This honest and practical conversation will help you discover how to stay connected to God, build meaningful spiritual habits, and walk with the Holy Spirit through even the busiest seasons of life.

Being Like Him | Pastor Josh Hersey | From the Vine

What if spiritual growth is not something you force, but something that happens as you stay connected to Jesus? In this message from our From the Vine series, we continue in John 15 and look at what it really means to abide in Christ. The work of the disciple is not to manufacture fruit, strive harder, or earn the love of God. The work of the disciple is to remain connected to the source of life, and from that place, the Holy Spirit produces the fruit of God’s character in us.
Through John 15, Genesis 1, Galatians 5, Isaiah 14, and 2 Peter 1, this message explores what it means to be created in the image of God, to receive His divine nature, and to grow in a life that looks more like Jesus. Whether you are learning how to follow Jesus, trying to understand spiritual growth, or longing to reconnect with God in a deeper way, this message is an invitation to stop striving and start abiding. Stay close to Jesus, let Him shape your heart, and discover the kind of life only He can produce.

Abiding, Acting, and Anger: Are You Stuck in the Ditch?

If you have ever wondered whether your faith has become a checklist, or if you are trying to produce fruit instead of remaining connected to the vine, this episode will help bring clarity, conviction, and encouragement.

Every Step Matters | Pastor Josh Hersey | From the Vine

This message looks at the tension every follower of Jesus feels. We are saved by grace, not by works, but we are still called to walk in the good works God prepared for us. So how do we take real steps without turning discipleship into religious activity? How do we grow without making it all about ourselves? From John 15, Galatians 5, Acts 2, Colossians 2, and Ephesians 2, this message is a reminder that every step matters when every step is taking us closer to the Vine.
