Rooftop Church

Ruth 2

God is free and able to do all that he wills. Yet, what does this mean for us? How are we to respond to God’s sovereignty? How does God’s sovereignty propel our faith and actions in everyday life?

Ruth 1:1-6

Today, we embark on a new study in the book of Ruth.  As we join in on the powerful journey of Ruth, we pray to see and experience God’s providence among the calamities and the sorrows of life.  For our first talk, we confront our hunger by bravely leaving the place of familiarity to journey together with God.   Also, we declare Rooftop to be the house of God’s presence.

Isaiah 40:29-31

Many Christians go through seasons of pain and suffering. In those moments of despair, it is so easy to give up and walk away from our faith. Today, we learn the importance of waiting (or enduring) as it leads us to strengthening of our faith. We also explore the meaning of "goodness" as what we perceive as good may not be perceived the same by God

Too often in life, we don’t take sin seriously. We know we shouldn’t do it, but we wouldn’t take the stance that Jesus took. Sin is more that something we do; it affects and shapes our families, communities, and nation. Therefore, Jesus, seeing the potential impact, confronts and properly corrects how we should view sin.

Today, we will look into the virtue of humility.  Humility (meekness) is such an attractive quality in dealing with others.  There is something profoundly powerful about it as it captures our hearts and we gravitate towards those who are humble.  Being meek is not weak; meekness isn't passivity; meekness is trusting in the Lord's provision where He preserves His justice and righteousness.

Many today do not want to be totally committed to Jesus because it demands too much of them. Following Him wholeheartedly causes much inconvenience to us. As human beings, we are magnetized to comfort and ease. What has God called us to do? How does God work in/through our lives? Inconvenience is what God demands of us, if we do not embrace it, it will be a spiritual peril to us.

“Walking on water” is kind of the picture of doing something I cannot do on my own unless God gives me the power to do it.  This means that, in following Jesus, there is always going to be a choice between the comfort and the safety of the boat and the risk of getting out.  Today, we want to be propelled to live according to faith.  We want to address our fears as well as comfort in our own lives making sure that we get to experience “walking on the water”.

There is a gap between where we are now and where God has said we should/will be.  We mustn’t forget His promises as we patiently wait for its fulfillment.  Whatever obstacles lie ahead, we are called to look beyond them and courageously charge through.  What do you see in your own life?  Where is your Promise land?  Are you there yet?  What do you see now, and what are you willing to do to enter the promised land?

On this Father’s Day, we reflect on the Father heart of God. As the most loving person

and father we know of, He did not spare even His own son for us. In Paul’s alluding of

Abraham and Isaac, we wonder if we could love God above all else. It is a challenging,

even a frightening thought to do what God demonstrated for us. We seek to answer

some difficult questions as we have a clearer understanding of the Gospel of Jesus

Christ.

John 15:12-17

On this Installation Sunday, we are reminded of God’s call for us to be an intimate community.  Jesus’ relationship with his disciples revealed that he was much more than just a teacher to them.  There was an invitation to a very intimate relationship as Jesus called them friends.  Today, we reflect a bit about what it means to intimately care for those in our church community.
