Rooted Community Church

Pastor Ben brings the full warning of God to bear: He is drawing people to Himself through both gentle and drastic measures.

The idea of being sealed for God becomes important in Revelation, and it also brings to mind the very personal question: "Can someone lose their salvation?"

In this challenging part of the Bible, the vision intensifies and John sees destructive forces come not from the enemy, but from the throne of Heaven. Hear how God uses suffering to draw us closer to himself.

Revelation 5 introduces us to the proper motivation of worship: Jesus' death and resurrection. Following a short message, Pastor Tyler & Karla lead a conversation about worship lyrics, and how more Biblically-based songs lead us to a better relationship with God.

John is drawn back into a vision of heaven, and revealed to him is God, seated on the throne, worshipped by all of creation. Revelation chapter 4 asks us: are we directing our energy and passion in the way that God designed us - to worship the Creator?

Pastor Ben Baker wraps up with the final - and most familiar-feeling of Jesus' messages to the seven churches of Revelation.

How do you define powerful? Successful? Effective? Jesus challenges us to have biblical - not corporate - definitions of what and who has real power. This is the letter to the church in Philadelphia.

We often rank sins; Jesus does not. The churches at Pergamum and Thyatira both struggled to keep consistency of belief, and his message to them - and us - is to remain faithful in what we believe and how we live, proudly wearing the name of Christian.

Ben Baker unpacks the beginning of Jesus' message to the churches in Revelation, specifically how knowledge without love is useless, and how God is merciful to put a limit on our hardships.

Jesus introduces the main message of the book of Revelation in the second half of chapter one. Hear how he calls his people to purity through endurance.

This begins our opening series in the Book of Revelation, as we explore what makes its writing confusing, how it can be understood, and why its message is a remarkably timely message for the 21st Century.

In between sermon series we'll talk about one of the core values of our church. This week, Pastors Ben and Tyler led a conversation about how believers are able to Abide in Christ, why that's important, and examples from their own lives.

In the conclusion of our series, Jude uses a new word to describe how God keeps us from stumbling, and is therefore worthy of worship.

Hear from pastor Ben Baker how our understanding of eternity shapes our communication with God and others.

In one of the weirdest sections of Scripture, Jude references everything from Old Testament to popular Jewish tradition to make a single point. His big idea: The judgment of God is worth paying attention to more than the judgment of others.
