This Sunday at Rockwell Church, we’ll explore what it means to spend your life on something greater than yourself.
As we gather on Memorial Day weekend and celebrate Pentecost Sunday, we’ll remember both the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for others and the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Together, these reminders point us to a powerful truth: a meaningful life is found in living for something greater than yourself.
Through the story of David’s mighty men and the coming of the Holy Spirit, we’ll discover how God takes ordinary people and fills them with courage, faithfulness, and purpose. Join us as we ask an important question: What are you spending your life on?
