Everybody wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to go now. The Body of Christ is in two places right now and it’s time to get out the fog. We are too comfortable and content with Earth or so scared, fearful and hopeless that we are forgetting the greater reality that awaits us. The human problem is lack of Heavenly perspective.

In the final installment of, "Rooted," Pastor Tony encourages our love to not grow cold from distractions, depletion and discouragement but to lift up our eyes and see the redemption that is drawing near. It’s time to arise, shine and be radiant and get ready for the blessed hope.

Why Church? Why do we gather together? Whats the aim of coming together weekly? Mention the word church to many people today and if they don't immediately think building, they'll assume you're talking about something you attend.

In Part 8 of "Rooted" Pastor Tony preaches from Psalm 92 about the place where the righteous and rooted plant themselves. That place is the house of God. We are called as a people not to attendance but Presence!

Why do fish travel in school? Why do birds fly in formation? Why do cattle move in herds? Why do wolves and hyenas travel in packs? Why do lions travel in a pride? Why do sheep travel in a flock? Because they understand they cannot reach their maximum potential outside the group. Our connection to the Church is crucial to our growth, flourishing and personal development spiritually. Spiritual growth is a group project.

In part 6 of Rooted, Pastor Tony preaches on the Soil of Connection. You can only maximize your relationship with God VERTICALLY through your attachment with people HORIZONTALLY.

How do you view the Church? What comes to your mind when you think of church? How have we been engaging with the local church? Our perception of how we view something will determine how we interact with it.

In Part 5 of our series, "Rooted", Pastor Tony shares the importance of seeing the local church as a family to belong to and not a business that we attend. One of the most attractive things in the world is a healthy family. What would it look like if the church assumed her role as family and modeled it for the world?

What do you think about when you think about God? Powerful? Almighty? Loving? When you think about God would you describe Him as one who's close?

The greatest invitation of all time comes from a Father who desires to dine with us. "Draw near to God and He will draw near to us." He took the first move. Now it's our turn. You're as close to God as you want to be.

In Part 4 of "Rooted," Pastor Tony challenges us to rethink what relationship with Jesus looks like and the barriers that prevent us from letting Jesus in.

If you want to hear God speak, read your Bible out loud!! God is always backing the truck of His, His Word and His seed into our life. However, the effectiveness of our faith isn't so much in our ability to hear as much as it is in our willingness to hear other voices.

In Part 3 of "Rooted," Pastor Tony lays out the first soil that we need to plant our lives in and how to say 'no' to things that are of lesser worth.

Have you ever showed up to something unprepared? Have you gone into a season feeling motivated and driven but failed to accomplish what you wanted because you lacked preparation? Every horticulturist knows that before you plant a tree the soil has to be broken up, softened and prepared. Many of us love idea of being planted and long to be rooted and established in the things of God. However, are you prepared to be planted?

Just like trees and plants have certain environments to grow and flourish in, God has a prescribed environment for every believer to be planted in.

In Part 3 of "Rooted," Pastor Tony preaches on the "don'ts" of Psalm 1 that the enemy wants us to be planted in to stunt and hinder our growth.

When we hunger the most is when we experience the best of God. Nothing will get you further in the kingdom of God than hunger. Jesus blessed those who hungered and thirsted for Him and His kingdom. But it’s what you feed on that leads you to the place God has for you. If it’s not leading you toward God, it may be drawing you away. Fasting is hungering for God. In this message Pastor Tony preaches a preparatory message on the power of prayer fasting as we enter into a key season called Seek.

When God saved you, He didn’t just save you from something but He saved you for something.

God’s plan for your life is bear fruit and much of it. But fruit without root doesn't last long.

In part 1 of our series “Rooted,” Pastor Tony preaches from Jeremiah 17 and Psalm 1 that reveals what you put your roots in, is what draw from. The seeds that you plant in your life now become the fruit that you eat later. Where you are planted matters.

What happens when the suddenness of winds and storms blow in your life? Why does God allow storms to crash into the boat of our life? In this message, Pastor Tony teaches us that following Jesus doesn’t offer immunity from troubles but gives us the opportunity to experience Him in the midst of the trouble. God's already working out what you're worried about.
