Living Rock Church is a friendly, growing Christian church, meeting each week in Stoney Stanton, Atherstone, Market Harborough & Kenya. We’ve discovered that Jesus changes lives, heals bodies, restores families and gives meaning and purpose to us all. We’re convinced that church should be positive, practical, relevant and great fun! This podcast contains audio recordings from our Sunday gatherings.
In this message, Amelia explores Jesus' declaration—"I am the true vine" (John 15:1-8)—revealing two essential truths: we must remain in Him through continual, daily dependence (not striving or earning, but staying connected), and we must trust the gardener's pruning, which may feel like punishment but is actually preparation to make us more fruitful and more like Christ. Drawing on her own…
In this message, Stefan shares his powerful personal testimony of knowing Jesus as the good shepherd (John 10, Psalm 23) in the midst of pain—growing up without a faithful earthly father, yet experiencing God's care through the shepherd-like men He placed in his life, including his uncle Winston, Reverend Bailey, Pastor Hay, and Nick Fable, who guarded him, defended him, searched for him when he…
In this message, Ben explores Jesus' beautiful declaration—"I am the true vine, and you are the branches" (John 15)—using the powerful picture of his own wilted plant that came back to life through faithful tending, revealing that we are called simply to abide (mino in Greek: to stay in, dwell, remain) in Jesus, from whom all life and fruit naturally flows. Through three challenges that block our…
In this message, Richard unpacks Jesus' profound declaration—"I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6)—spoken in His final hours with the disciples before His betrayal and crucifixion, revealing that Jesus is the Way that provides clear direction and guidance when we're lost, the Truth that counters the Deceiver's lies about God's character and promises, and the Life that offers both…
In this message, Eve explores Jesus' declaration—"I am the good shepherd" (John 10)—revealing that Jesus knows the sheep completely (Psalm 139), aware of our weakness and fickleness, yet despite this intimate knowledge, He lays down His life for us, becoming the lamb who takes our place because we are infinitely precious to Him. Through the image of a shepherd retrieving a lost, panicking sheep,…
In this message, Mike contrasts Jesus' declaration—"I am the good shepherd" (John 10)—with the false shepherds condemned in Ezekiel 34, revealing that whilst bad shepherds feed themselves and neglect their flock, Jesus lays down His life for His sheep, knows each one by name, and seeks out the lost. Through the image of Jesus as the door to the sheepfold, Mike shows that once you come through Him,…
In this message, Simon looks at the importance of a name, and draws on the scriptures in Exodus 3:1-15, where God speaks from the burning bush and reveals to Moses for the first time His Name, I Am Who I AM and YHWH. Then in John 8:48-59 Jesus makes a statement that shocks the religious world. God’s unique name reveals things about His nature that bring us great security in knowing Him. Did you…
In this message, David explores Jesus' profound claim—"I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6)—revealing that Jesus is not just offering directions but is Himself the path to restored relationship with God, the embodiment of truth (not merely an idea), and the source of true life itself. Drawing on Scripture from Deuteronomy to Psalm 119, David shows that following Jesus means making…
In this message, Phil explores Jesus' extraordinary claim—"I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25-26)—through the stunning miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead after four days in the tomb, revealing three powerful truths about what resurrection means. Drawing on Scripture, Phil shows that Jesus came to resurrect creation itself (Isaiah 11, Romans 8), to resurrect spiritually dead…
In this message, Benj explores baptism as far more than just a public declaration of faith—it's a powerful spiritual reality where we are washed clean from our past, buried with Christ, and raised to new life (Romans 6:1-11). Drawing on the symbolism of the Exodus crossing through the Red Sea, where the Israelites walked through death and left their enslavement buried behind them, Benj shows that…
