It all about a

started in 2010. Our church was in a series where pastor taught a message out of Nehemiah

all about a man who sought to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

It was then that the heart for rebuilding our own cities was born.

We began to serve the beautiful cities that we live in and take the love of Jesus outside these walls.

Eight years ago it started with three campuses and three cities to love on.

And today as we finished our ninth year of Rock the city across 12 locations

in four states, we have served over 17,000 hours in our cities. We unleash the love of Jesus right where we live through

serving and giving our time. So in short, Rock This City is simple and doing, yet lasting in impact.

All right, so grab your Bibles with me and open them up to

Acts Chapter 9, acts chapter 9.

Acts chapter 9.

As you're finding your way to acts 9,

if you don't have a Bible, we're

going to put the verses up on the screen for you.

But let me tell you the title of my message.

This message is titled Needlecraft. So if you can say that aloud

with me, say Needlecraft. Needlecraft is the art and the skill of working with needle

and thread. It's this skill of working with needle and thread.

It's this skill of sewing and that's really where we're going.

And Acts Chapter 9, I promised that's the last time.

It was unintentional, I didn't even mean that.
