Home - Build

Passage: Ephesians 2:8-10

Home - Encouragement

There is tremendous power in encouragement.  Encouragement is different from compliments; in essence, encouragement is helping someone to be aligned with what God sees/does for them.  Home is a place of commission.  It is where I feel most encouraged—I am empowered by my loved ones to go and fulfill God’s purpose for my life.  Here, we understand what it means to encourage, empower in a Godly way. 

Passage: 2 Thessalonians 5:11

Home - Intimacy

Home is where there is love—authentic closeness and care resonate through all relationships.  We, as believers, are called to pursue such intimacy with one another.  We ought to fight against superficiality and seek to go deeper.  Today, we explore through 5 marks of intimacy that we should look and strive for at home and at church.

Passage: John 13:34

Home: Safe Place

One of the hallmarks of a home is that it is a place of safety—it is our refuge where I can rest easy and resort to in times of turmoil.  Though our lives are marred with mistakes and failures, there is a place where we are always welcomed, a place where we are loved and accepted for everything that we are.  Going through the well-known story of the Prodigal Son, we pray for our church to be a safe home for many.

Passage: Luke 15:11-32

Home

Genesis 9:18-28

God has called us to this church.  Everyone who attends Rooftop does so because they believe this is their spiritual home.  Today, we start a new series called “Home” where we will learn what it means to be a member of family, what it means to belong to a home/church.  For the next several months, we seek to learn to become members more faithfully dedicated to live out the Godly call in our lives.  For the first talk, we learn about taking greater ownership of our family.  

 

Be Filled

Acts 2: 1-4

Following an amazing retreat, we continue to explore on the topic of the Holy Spirit.  How do we maintain or keep up being filled with the Holy Spirit? We must commit ourselves to stop doing the things that quench the Spirit and be devoted to doing what incite His influence in our lives.  In that, we highlight having personal time with Jesus and ridding sins that distract us from our pursuit.
