ROOTS: LOVE JESUS
John 21:15-19 Are you too busy using Jesus to really KNOW Him? Jesus died so that that whole world would have the opportunity to have a relationship with GOD! Yet we take advantage of the forgiveness without investing in the relationship. But when you see that the way you're responding to God's love is backwards, you can turn it around! |
|
|
ROOTS: EVANGELISM
1 Peter 3:13-18 Are you more motivated by your comfort that your love for Jesus? The hope that we have in Christ is meant to be shared, not kept to ourselves. |

I BELEIVE IN GOD...
Titus 1:16 When we don't know someone, we start to assume things about them. We can do that with God when we don't take to the time to know His character through His Word. God formed us to be in deep relationship with Himself so let's move towards that! |

|
OVERBOARD FOR JESUS
Revelation 3:14-21 You don't have to wait til you're cleaned up to come to God! God is the one that cleans you up! As God changes our hearts we look less & less like the world. Thank you God for making a way for us to come to you & live set apart! |

|
ROOTS: PRIDE
Romans 12:1-3 Pride is when we think of ourselves as better than others. It's when we think we can do things all by ourselves when we should be letting others help or when we think that we're an exception to a rule. God hates pride because it hurts people, it hurts relationships, & it hurts us. |

|
ROOTS: DISCIPLESHIP
Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus didn't say to make converts, that claim His name but live like the world. He said to make DISCIPLES. Disciples are followers that live to become more like their teacher. Disciples meditate on their teacher's words. |
|
|
ROOTS: DISCIPLESHIP - PART 2
Matthew 28:18-20 We need to go deeper in relationship & leave the surface level. Jesus prayed that we would be one as He is one with the Father. Imagine being THAT close with your brothers & sisters in Christ! |
|
|
ROOTS: SCRIPTURE
James 1:22-25 What is scripture, how scripture can help us, and what are common excuses people have not to read scripture? |
|
|
ROOTS: ENDURANCE
1 Peter 4:1-2 Do you have a proper theology of suffering? We are promised suffering as followers of Christ to embrace suffering & find JOY in the Lord! |
|
|
ROOTS: STOP LOOKING FOR NEIGHBORS
Luke 10:25-37 Guest Preacher, Fred MacDonald from the DBC speaks about BEING a neighbor to everyone around you. Jesus calls us to out away our own comfort & love people that are hard to love. |
|
|
ROOTS: COMMUNITY
