    Almost Home: A Journey with Joshua - Part 3 - God goes first

    As Rooted Fellowship steps into a new season of leadership, we turn to Joshua 3–4 and the powerful moment when Israel stood before a raging Jordan River. With Moses gone and a new generation watching, the question hung in the air: Will God still be with us? The answer was unmistakable. Before the waters parted, the priests had to step in. Before the people crossed, the Ark, the presence of God, went first. This wasn’t just a story about geography; it was theology. It was about reverence, risk, remembrance, and trust. It was about a God who finishes what He starts. In this message, we are reminded: God’s presence goes before us.Faith requires stepping into the water.Leaders are raised up but God remains the constant.We must remember and tell the stories of His faithfulness.The dates matter because God’s promises unfold with precision.Most of all, this passage points beyond Joshua to a greater Joshua. Jesus. Who stepped into the waters of sin and death and made a way for us to cross from death to life. As we install new leadership and look toward the future, we do so with trembling joy. The same God who planted this church will carry it forward. The same God who was faithful then is faithful now. The question is not whether God will show up. The question is: Will we step in?

    Almost Home: A Journey with Joshua - Part 2 - The God who saves

    As Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land, God interrupts the conquest story with an unexpected act of grace. In Joshua 2, we meet Rahab, an outsider whose faith, not her past, defines her future. This week we’ll see that God’s saving grace always demands a response, that His faithfulness stretches across generations, and that no failure is too great for the God who saves. Moses may be gone, but God is not finished.

    Almost Home: A Journey with Joshua - Part 1 - Be Strong and Courageous

    Joshua 1 God speaks to His faithful servant: "Be strong and courageous."  Why can he do this? God's promises still stand. God will be with His faithful servant. How can he do this? Meditate on God's word so that you will obey God's word so that you may be prosperous and successful (in carrying out God's plan). God's faithful servant speaks to God's people: "Go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own." How can they do this? Keep trusting God's promises and make every effort to enter the land. (God's sovereign plan to give the land to his people invites human action - it does not mean they/we should be passive). Remember God's commands and carry them out faithfully.  Help the rest of God's people. God's people reply to His faithful servant: "Whatever you have commanded us we will do." How do they do this? By trusting in the Lord's servant, because God's promises to His servant are true and still stand. Joshua is a foreshadowing of Jesus, God's servant. How will we respond to Jesus? Will we respond to Jesus like the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh?

    More of You, Less of Me - Part 3: Giving

    This Sunday we look at what “More of You, Less of Me” means for our generosity. Jesus and Paul both show us that giving isn’t a guilt-payment or a performance for applause. It’s worship. We don’t give to get; we give because God has already given His first and best in Christ. Come be challenged and encouraged toward a “hilariously cheerful” life of giving with your time, talents, and treasures.

    More of You, Less of Me - Part 2: The Secret Place

    Matthew 6:1-18 As we journey through our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Jesus meets us in the heart of the Sermon on the Mount with a confronting but freeing question: Why do we do what we do? In Matthew 6, Jesus addresses giving, prayer, and fasting not as public performances, but as acts of devotion shaped in the secret place. He warns against spiritual performance and invites us into a deeper, quieter righteousness where God sees the heart, not the mask. This week, we’re reminded that the reward of prayer and fasting is not recognition, breakthrough, or applause but more of God Himself. As we continue this fast, may we learn again what it means to decrease, so that Christ may increase.

    More of You, Less of Me - Part 1: He Must Increase

    We’re kicking off 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting as a church and we’re starting where everything begins: the Word. With 21 chapters in John, we’re reading one chapter a day, trusting God for a year marked by one clear theme: “More of God, less of me.” In John 3:22–30, John the Baptist shows us what real humility looks like when the spotlight shifts: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” This isn’t self-hate. It’s joy-filled surrender. When Jesus increases, the church becomes what the world desperately needs: a house of prayer, a people of the Word, and a community shaped by the kingdom of God. As we fast, we’re not just “giving things up.” We’re making space. We’re saying no to the flesh so we can say yes to the Spirit. Together.
