Rooted Together

Where do we see God's grace when we or others experience God's judgment for sin? In this episode, we examine the tension created by the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed. In a story with no human heroes, where can this chapter intersect with our lives today? #biblestudy #genesis #sodom #gomorah #Lot #Abraham #Oldtestament #biblepodcast #throughthebible #God'sjudgment

Do we really believe that God can do the impossible? What does that say about our faith when we doubt or scoff at God and His plans? Do we question God's grace and mercy?

We will talk about how, as Western missionaries, we must take the extra step of...

What happens when we doubt God? Maybe we doubt His power or His goodness. Maybe our lives are lived sinfully in doubt of a God who is worthy of all our worship. In this episode, we will explore the text of Genesis 18 and how Abraham struggles with doubt. We will look at how God is gracious even when we are not faithful. The outline will be Tension - Text - Takeaway. #genesis #genesis18 #Oldtestame...

Does our knowledge and hope of Christ's Kingdom affect every aspect of our daily lives today? And especially through trials? These are the questions that come to mind as we approach Daniel 8. Another vision from Daniel as an old man. #Daniel #Daniel8 #OldTestament #sermon #preaching

What do we do when wickedness seems prevalent? We remember that God is in control and that Jesus reigns in His eternal Kingdom, where we will all enjoy eternal life forever.  So why do we often try to find hope in other, lesser, things? #Daniel #Daniel7 #Oldtestament #sermon

As the church, are our faithfulness and prayers making an impact on the community? How does seeing God in control help us to live faithfully? #Daniel #Daniel6 #BiblePodcast #oldtestament

As a church, do we turn from false worship and humble ourselves before God, worshipping Him with our daily lives? Where do we run when life's storms press in?

Do we as the church know that God rules and controls earthly kingdoms and our lives; do we submit to Him graciously? Do we recognize that God's sovereignty leads to humility and reliance on Him, reminding us that all earthly power is under His dominion?

Far home, how do we worship God when our faith is confronted? What are the idols that we set up in our lives to worship?

What does it meant to live in God's sovereignty in a world of unknowns?

The Book of Daniel follows the Judean exiles' journey in Babylon. For us, it is a reminder that we are not home yet. We belong to a greater kingdom. So how do we live for God and His Kingdom, while in Babylon? Let's look at the book of Daniel to see. #Daniel #Daniel1 #OldTestament #Biblepodcast #Christianpodcast #Spirituallife #gospel #culture #culturalcurrents

As we end our time in Ezra, we see the exiles are still living in the same sins as their ancestors. So, what does repentance look like? We see Ezra broken over their sin. Do we grieve our sin? #repentance #Ezra #bible #biblepodcast #christianpodcast #oldtestament #sermon

Are we ordering our lives correctly? What does Ezra 7:10 have to say to us today? In this episode, we discover the connection this verse has for us today.

Can God use broken people? Are there people who aren't broken? In this chapter, we see Abram and Sarai's brokenness and God's graciousness. God can and does use broken people to do things far beyond their own abilities. He does that with us as well. #Genesis16 #Genesis #Bible #Biblestudy#Biblepodcast #Christianliving

In this sermon, we ask the question, How do a people of worship bring glory to God? The answer is that God empowers His people to bring Him glory as we serve Him, seek Him, and savor Him. Open your ears and your Bibles and let's dig in! #Ezra8 #Ezrasermon #OldTestament #Biblepodcast

God's promises are always fulfilled and upheld by His hand. All of the Bible promises will come to pass by God's power alone. We only need to be obedient and faithful. We await the fulfillment of the new covenant, which brings us into a relationship with the Father through the blood of the Son. #Bible #Biblepodcast #Christianpodcast #Genesis #Biblestudy #Genesis15 #Covenent

What do we do when our enemies openly gloat over us? How can we trust God for future victories? We look back at what God has done in the past. God has always and will always be faithful! God wins battles. #Godwins #God #Christianliving #Christianpodcast #Bible #Genesis #Biblepodcast #RootedTogether

What does it mean to be a people of the Word? God's hand empowers His people to study God's Word, live it out, and teach it to others.

Genesis 10 and 11 take us from the  genealogies of nations  to the  towering pride of Babel . In this episode of  Rooted Together , we explore how God’s command to fill the earth was initially resisted, and how humanity’s desire to “make a name” for itself led to confusion, scattering, and divine intervention. Yet even here, we see the unfolding of  God’s sovereign plan to form a people for His na...

As God builds a people of worship, we will face opposition. During those times, we must respond to God's Word, rest in His sovereignty, and rejoice in His Faithfulness! #Ezrasermon #Ezra6 #opposition #conflict #sermon #bible #expositionalpreaching #Biblepodcast
