Rocky Mount UMC

Are you an Outlier? Do you fail to fall within the acceptable limits of society? Jesus was. He shook the religion of the day to its core. He challenged the acceptable limits of society. He talked with a Samaritan adulteress. He ate with a tax collector. He consorted with Gentiles and ignored the rules about hand washing and work on the Sabbath. An entourage of women went to his tomb at the break of day to grieve, to show their respect, or to do any number of things that we won’t know until we meet Jesus face to face. They were shocked to be the first to learn that he was not there. He had beaten the ultimate enemy, sin and death. Again Jesus had become an outlier. Shout it to the housetops as we face the challenges of living a Christian life in a secular world. Our Lord is risen. He is not dead!

Join us in worship next Sunday. Become an Outlier, a Christian in a rapidly changing world. Rocky Mount Church offers lessons in how to be outside the “acceptable” limits of a secular society.
