Rooted Series Episode 2

Episode two of the Rooted Series takes us back to the beginning of time and to a time before time. It is here, outside of the created order that God took the raw material of His very nature and cast it like a living dye into the creation. This understanding is a building block for those determining to live a faith-based and faith-filled life. Take a listen and discover perhaps a new cornerstone to your faith as we week to re-frame our lives into a living adventure.

What’s the deal with the blood of Jesus

As Paul concludes years of missional work in Asia minor, he sums up what its all been about and gives a few thoughts on life in Christ and the power of the blood of Jesus. Blood is an interesting metaphor in the scripture and if we are honest a bit odd and hard to understand, but if we look deep we will find a power greater than any force in the universe.

Do You Have A Poverty Spirit?

Paul’s 2nd missionary journey to the Barbaric North (Macedonia) revealed a group of churches that would eventually become a lifeline for him as he toiled in a Roman prison. These were some of the most poor people in the region, but they never let their poverty define them. Instead, these people become some of the most generous ever mentioned in God’s word. In this message we seek to find tools to release generosity into every area of our life, not just the financial.

Oy Vey! Who are all these Goyim?

The first Christ followers had a good problem. Both Jews and Gentiles (or Goyim in Yiddish) were becoming Christ followers, but each had different needs, perspectives and traditions. Paul was a chameleon, an artist, a master at being able to reach any person of any audience. This ability to evangelically cross pollinate seems to be a lost skill in the fractured world we live in. In this message I talk about how to effectively communicate the gospel to a wide variety of people no matter their background.
