Rooted
Seven Rhythms
Sunday February 6, 2022 - Pastor Wungreiso Valui
Acts 2:42-47

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.. -Acts 2:42-47 (NKJV)

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF ROOTED?

The goal is for you to deepen your connection with God, His Church, and your purpose in the epic story that He is writing through human history.

WHY ROOTED?

Rooted is a catalyst for life-change. We pray that you will experience change and transformation in the next 10 weeks.

ROOTED IS FOR EVERYONE

No matter where you stand in your relationship with Jesus at the beginning of Rooted, there is always room to move forward.

YOU NEED A CATALYST FOR LIFE-CHANGE

A STRONG ROOT

  1. A tall tree needs a strong root. Any plant needs a strong root to produce flowers and bear fruit.
  2. It requires help from people to have a strong root.

A STRONG LEADER

  1. A strong leader needs a strong root
  2. In most cases, there is always someone deeply rooted behind a strong leader.

A GOOD STUDENT

  1. A good student needs a strong root.
  2. All of us need a catalyst to become the person we were created to be.

Rooted is a catalyst for life-change.

And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. -Acts 2:47
  1. How can you celebrate with God daily?
  2. What can we do to experience God's daily blessings?

THE SEVEN RHYTHMS

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching. -Acts 2:42a (NIV)
