Rooted Community Church

Nobody wants to feel alone but everyone struggles with the feeling. The most socially vulnerable of our Core Values, Connecting others to Jesus and his church centers on following the leading of the Holy Spirit to grow in stepping out of our comfort zone. Lauren Alsin joins Tyler to talk about building the relationships that make a healthy church.

In the conclusion to the book of Revelation, John brings us back to the Garden of Eden again - this time to consider the temptation that brought sin into the world. The parting message of Revelation is an encouragement to hold on to the Word of God as our light of truth.

What God is most proud of in the new creation is a curious thing, meant to inform our hope not just for eternity but in the here and now.

A fun, open, introductory conversation about how the Bible brings us to wrestle with exactly God saves sinners. This is audio-only, recorded from our first of many Let's Talks, inviting ordinary people to have healthy conversations over extraordinary topics.

This conversation between Ben & Tyler leans heavily on the entire Book of Revelation to help guide an understanding of the 1,000 years mentioned in chapter 20. At the close of that discussion we see that Revelation 20 also has something powerful to say about the eternal destination of human souls.

The final opponent of the One True God is introduced, and we find ourselves face-to-face with an entity that threatens to capture our hearts and keep us from the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

One of our Core Value Sundays. Jesus demonstrated that being like Him means we can't give up on people when we disagree or have conflict. This extended conversation with Tyler, Ben, and guests asks how we can fight for the relationships in our church to have a healthy congregation.

The Advent of Jesus was immediately followed by a road trip to Egypt. Mary & Joseph's faithfulness show us what trusting God with each day can look like and lead to.

Welcome to our simple Christmas Eve service, the first one in Rooted's history! Tonight we celebrated the Christmas story, told to us and about us not with bullet points or a speech, but through living, breathing characters and narrative. Our message begins with a video from the Skit Guys about whatever happened to baby Jesus.

In Luke 2, there are four voices who simply share what they know about Jesus. Pastor Ben Baker shows us how Jesus is Savior, Christ, and Lord, and how we can be part of that message.

Jesus was born in the last place somebody "made space", in a city far from home. Explore how God's idea of "home" informs our relationship with him and with our own homes.

Satan's primary scheme is to present himself as a counterfeit gospel. This gospel is so obviously bad and demonic we would never believe it, except he hides it behind not one but two layers of deception.

This week we encounter a commissioning that Jesus gives the apostle John, but it's also the same mission he gives to each of us. After that, what in the world are these two fire-breathing witnesses all about?

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.
