Divine Conversations

Pastor Jon Palmer

January 24, 2016

It’s hard to get through life without having conversations. In the
fast-paced digital world we live in today, our conversations have changed but they are still there. We are a talking people. It’s how we build relationships, get to know each other, and do business. Conversation is essential to life. The One who created us knows this too. God is not silent. The Creator and Sustainer of everyone speaks and listens. Ever since creation there has been an ongoing conversation between God and His people. Today as we look at how to be Rooted we ask these questions: what does this conversation look like and how can we join in the conversation?

Now... Not Yet

March 13, 2016

We live in a digital world. You can go to far away lands, a world unexplored and tour landmarks from the comfort of your home, but it cannot replace the experience of actually being there. In many ways what we see on our screens should cause us to desire actually being there. As we close out our Rooted series, today we wrestle with what we see and experience now as the church and how it should energize us to live fully knowing that we have not yet experienced the full life Jesus promised.

How Will You Manage?

February 28, 2016

How often do you check your bank account? Check your stocks? Assess the value of your home? We put a value on everything and often ask the question, “What is it worth?” But something only has value if someone places value on it. Today we look at the things that we have in this life and look and how God calls us to look at and value those things.

Serving Tension

February 14, 2016

We don’t like tension. Why? It’s uncomfortable and often leads us where we don’t want to go. When Jesus made the statement that He came to serve, not to be served, and when Jesus kneeled down to wash His disciples’ feet - there was a lot of tension. When Jesus looked at His disciples and said, “You do likewise” the tension grew. Serving causes lots of tension. Why? Because it means giving up our perceptions and ideas of what life is supposed to be like and taking up Jesus’ call. Today we uncover and embrace the tension in an attempt to join Jesus as we SERVE.
