Washed Away | Larry McCall | Good News

What’s the difference between being covered and being cleansed? In this message from our Good News series, Larry McCall takes us on a vivid journey from the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ. Through sacrifice, blood, and centuries of foreshadowing, we uncover why Jesus didn’t just cover our sin—He removed it once and for all. You’ll never look at the gospel the same way again.
Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you're just now exploring faith, this sermon unpacks the deep "why" behind what Jesus did. From Passover to the Day of Atonement, from the lamb to the scapegoat, this message helps you understand how Christ became all of it—our sacrifice, our high priest, and our eternal hope. Buckle up... this is more than a Bible lesson. It’s the gospel like you’ve never heard it before.

God’s Word, Our Calling, and the Roles We Walk In

In this follow-up conversation, Pastor Josh is back in the studio with his wife Lauren and their friend and co-laborer Cynthia for Part 2 of a candid and thoughtful discussion on women in ministry. As staff members at Church on the Rock, the three go into how their church approaches this sometimes divisive topic—with both conviction and grace.
This conversation isn’t about pushing an agenda—it’s about encouraging believers to seek God's truth through His Word. Whether you agree or disagree, we hope this episode leads you to deeper reflection and a desire to walk in God's unique calling for your life.

Why The Gospel is Good News | Pastor Josh Hersey

At Church on the Rock, we’re not here to play church. We're here to experience the life-giving, eternity-shifting power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks why the Gospel isn’t just good advice—it’s good news. Because at its core, the message of Jesus isn’t about behavior—it’s about life or death.
If you’ve ever felt like church is only for people who “have it all together,” this episode is for you. Rooted in Romans 6:23, John 10:10, and John 3, we look at why the Gospel isn’t about moral performance but about transformation. You’ll discover what Jesus really meant when He promised life and life abundantly, how your identity in Christ comes before your activity, and why so many people say “no” to the greatest exchange in history—and how not to. The truth is simple: Jesus doesn’t need you to clean up first. He came to bring you back to life.

Women, the Gospel & God’s Order | Honest Church Talk

In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Pastor Josh hosts his wife Lauren and staff member Cynthia to discuss a topic that often sparks debate in the church: women in ministry.
Drawing from their own church backgrounds, personal experiences, and deep respect for scripture, they explore the biblical roles of women in leadership, the importance of God's order, and how Church on the Rock navigates the tension between empowerment and alignment with the Word.
With vulnerability and conviction, they unpack scriptures, historical context, and real-life examples—affirming that while women at COTR teach, lead, and communicate the gospel, the office of pastor is reserved for men.
This is part one of a two-part conversation intended to both clarify their church’s stance and encourage the wider body of Christ.

Centered on Matthew 28, this sermon walks us through the resurrection story—where two women become the very first evangelists of the gospel—and what that means for us today.
