Despite trials, suffering, and opposition, Paul teaches that the gospel produces a joy that defies circumstances. As believers, we are called to live out this joy by believing in Christ, connecting with His people, growing in spiritual maturity, and serving for the sake of the gospel.

In Week 1 of Philippians: Defiant Joy, we discover that true joy begins with believing the gospel and resting in the assurance that God will finish the work He began in us (Philippians 1:6, CSB). Paul reminds the Philippians that their identity is secure as “saints in Christ Jesus” (1:1), their mission is strengthened through partnership in the gospel (1:5), and their future is guaranteed by God’s faithfulness. Defiant joy flows from a gospel-shaped identity, a shared mission with other believers, and a growing love rooted in truth and discernment (1:9–11). As we embrace this truth, we learn to anchor our confidence not in circumstances but in the God who saves, sustains, and shapes us for His glory.

Our prayer is that you find real, genuine people at The Rock. Together, we seek the truth of the Word and a deeper relationship with the Lord. In our interaction with the SRCC family, we strive to walk in honesty, transparency, and love.  At The Rock you will find a place where you can come as you are...a place where the less-than-perfect (that’s all of us!) are more than welcome.

Solid Rock Community Church is a place where people can meet Jesus,  engage in life-giving community, and everyone is welcome. We believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for God's glory. Join us for our Sunday services!
