Standing Firm: Building Your Life on the Rock

Dec 7, 2025    Pastor Darren Gibby

This sermon emphasizes the critical importance of building one's Christian life on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ rather than the shifting sands of worldly pursuits. Using the metaphor of proper footwear for different terrains, the Pastor Darren illustrates how God equips believers for every season and battle they face. The message challenges congregants to examine their spiritual footing—whether they are firmly planted on the rock of Christ or gradually slipping away through missed services, diminished devotion, and worldly distractions. The sermon stresses that our spiritual choices affect not only ourselves but create casualties of war when we fail to stand firm, impacting family members, friends, and those around us. It calls believers to walk by faith, carry the gospel message into every situation, and recognize that God sees beauty in surrendered feet that carry His message, regardless of past failures or present struggles.
