Rooted Church

As we enter a season of gratitude, we pause to thank God for the greatest gift—Himself. In this message from Luke 4 and John 1, Pastor Rodney shows how Jesus was rejected by His own, yet through that rejection, God accomplished redemption and opened our eyes to His glory.

In this message from Acts 10, Pastor Rodney unpacks the story of Peter and Cornelius—a moment when God’s Spirit shattered the walls between Jew and Gentile. It’s a reminder that the gospel breaks through every barrier we build and calls us to see people through the eyes of grace. When the Spirit moves, pride gives way to humility, and strangers become family.

Introduction Good morning Rooted Church. My name is Brian and I’m one of the elders here at Rooted and I’m so glad you’re here this morning to worship and study God’s word together.

In Ephesians 5:6-11 we explore Paul’s call to “walk as children of light.” Together, we wrestle with what it means to be freed from the darkness of sin, yet often still tempted to return to it, like prisoners longing for their former cells. Through vivid imagery, practical instruction, and the promise of union with Christ, we uncover how the Spirit empowers us to lead our households in what is good, right, and true, setting our families apart for the glory of God.

Ephesians 5:15-16 , Psalm 23:1-6 Intro: Charlie Kirk Comments - Sorrow for his family, and the family of the assailants. We sit with tragedy, and we sit with questions. Every week it feels like we are confronted with new reminders that the world is not as it should be. We see violence that robs families…

Oftentimes what makes suffering so difficult is that we feel alone. We feel isolated, and our enemy whispers to us that nobody cares. The Church. If you are in Christ, you are not alone. You have a family to walk through these difficult trials.

Hebrews 3:7-15 Intro: If you pause long enough to listen, you can almost hear it—across the country, in churches big and small, there’s a deep, tired sigh. Every time I have coffee with a local Pastor, or talk with a local church member, they confirm my assertion that the local church in America feels…
