Grassroots Messages

The Bible is central to our understanding of our faith and our understanding of who God is. Biblical reading is a skill that is developed over time. Often exploring the scriptures can bring a lot of anxiety and even more questions. 

Can your upbringing change the way you read the Bible? Is there a “right” way to read the Bible? Is there a right or wrong translation? What’s the closest to the original text? What should be my “go-to” translation? Can’t I just sit and read? Why does context matter?

Pastor Evan Savage unmasks some of the mystery of how to read the Bible.

What is scripture? Evan kicks off this series with a background on the bible, and how it applies to our lives so many years after it was written. 

Join us for Easter Sunday at Grassroots!  Evan speaks this morning about the foundation of our faith, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  And how, as Christians, we are called to live a life of faith based in that foundation.

Was it really necessary for Jesus to become human? What was the purpose? The point? Join us as Evan discusses the importance of Jesus becoming human during the second week of our series "Who is Christ?".

"Jesus is God" is one of the hardest things to believe in all of Christian thought. How can a human be divine? Evan explores this doctrine as we open up our series "Who is Christ?". 

Human beings have been on a redemption journey with God since day one. God's goal is to bring us back and that came to an ultimate climax in Christ.

We are created, all of us, regardless of race, creed, faith, or lifestyle in the image of God. When we recognize that image in our lives we recognize the necessity of loving one another with the Love that God has created within us.

With all of this talk on what God does in the world, it begs the question, "what does this mean for the Church?" God loves to do what God does. But God also urges, nay calls us to join with him. God's plan, ultimately, is our plan. Join us as we discuss our role in God's mission in the world. 

Evil. What's the deal? Did God create Evil? Why does God allow evil to continue to exist? In this message, we will take a dive into the "problem of evil" and quite possibly, begin to transform our perspectives on the issue at hand. 

God continues the process of extending his goodness in his continued work, or providence. Join us as we discuss how God continues to operate in the world today.
