Rooftop Church

Today, we approach the difficult topic of grief and loss. We all experience heartache and anguish over losing someone that is dear to us. It is not just losses of lives but also cherished relationships that take us to places where we are left disoriented and despondent. While embracing that grieving may never end, we want to learn what it means to navigate through grief and loss with our faith in...

The Prodigal Son is one of the most famous parables that Jesus shares in the Bible. A lot of us are familiar with the story of the younger son, who returned home from living a reckless life. But today, we are going to focus on the older brother, who lived under the love of his father, yet failed to experience that love in his life. We are going to compare ourselves with this older son and see...

Our focus for this year is being Gospel-Centered. The goal is twofold: (1) experience the Gospel for ourselves. (2) Be involved in others experiencing God in the same way. In Luke 6, we see a man who lived with pain and shame all of his life being completely restored by the power of Jesus. We seek for the impact of Jesus Christ to empower us and release us to ministering with Him.

Paul had a singular passion in his life—as the good news of Jesus Christ transformed him, he dedicated his life to share that same news with as many people as possible.  His unceasing passion to preach and share Christ is what we have been called for as well.  In 2024, we commit to encounter and proclaim Jesus Christ.

The book of Ruth opens up with a woman who has lost everything—her husband and her two sons. She was dirt poor and had no hope of any significance for the rest of her life. However, her tumultuous journey was but a backdrop for God’s amazing plan—her futility was merely an impetus to her glory. For our final time in the book of Ruth, we learn that pain is never the final word for God’s people; and...

Boaz’s demonstration of his love for Ruth is at its peak as he is seen redeeming the land, belong to Ruth’s family, that was about to disappear.  Boaz, not only pays the price for the land, but he’s seen assuming the responsibility of caring for Ruth.  This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ—He rescues us from our debt, He restores us onto the Father’s inheritance, He gives us a new identity that is no...

Just how crucial is thanksgiving? What happens if we do not give thanks to God? What does ingratitude look like? How does ingratitude manifest itself in our life with God? Today, we lean in to Paul's letter to the church in Rome as we caution ourselves that we should give thanks as often as we can.

No one can succeed by journeying alone. We all need sages who are committed to guiding us in making decisions that ultimately lead us onto the path of pursuing God. Receiving guidance and direction require us to be humble and fully trusting in God as He sends us some people to speak on His behalf. Today, we lean closely in to the relationship between Ruth and Naomi and see how they rely on each ot...

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?

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.

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.

Pastor Scott Oh 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.

Matthew 14:22-36 “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...

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 pr...

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 unde...

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.

Following last week’s sermon on Faith & Money, we discuss more in details of Biblical giving.  What does the Bible teach God’s people about giving towards God?  In today’s sermon, we learn about tithes and offering—what it is, how and where we should give.  Our unreserved giving will result in the unrestrained blessing from God. 

Title: Faith & Money Text: Matthew 6:19-24 Summary: Money and our faith in God have long been intertwined as our attachment to money reveals a lot about our perspective and value of living life. Jesus’ teaching conveyed that our assurance (trust) should lie in Him and that we are motivated by things eternal than the things temporal. Also, we want to reflect our faith in the way we allocate our res...

On this Mother’s Day, we see God as the Mother to the motherless.  We all have experienced the feeling of loneliness, being misunderstood, and completely powerless to trek through life.  The Bible describes God as someone who is stubbornly by our side and irrationally loving towards us.  We want to make sure that we do not live outside of such love and care.  Today, we caution...

Where is your crown? Who is your prize? Where is your joy that will allow you to pick up your cross? This is not a new message! Remember, that was what Jesus asked in his sermon! Put them up there where death and desire and time and rot cannot touch.

Jesus uses the most important social institution of the time to explain how his followers should see each other: as a family. In the first century Jewish culture, kinship ties were of utmost importance and loyalty, where people's identities revolved around their family. For us as Christians, the church is a family, which can be quite messy, but where we grow spiritually, find accountability, and o...
