Is there more to being a Christian than going to church and trying to be a good person?  Is following Christ simply about believing all the right things or performing all the right rituals?

At Trinity we believe that the answer is an emphatic, “Yes!”  God calls us into a journey of “becoming,” not just one of believing or doing.

We use the word “discipleship” to describe this journey, and over the next several weeks we are going to be exploring some of the key elements of this journey in a series called Rooted.

This week Pastor Brian Keepers will explored the topic of leading a missional life, including the call to bear witness to our faith – telling God’s story and our own story of transformation.  Many of us can be intimidated by this.  Do I have a story worth telling?  What if I get it wrong?  What if I offend the person?  Through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunich, we’ll explore how the call to share our faith is always about joining in on what God is already doing.  It’s also about relationships.  It is only when we practice with-ness (being with others) that we earn an opportunity to bear witness (tell God’s story and our story).  And everybody has a story.  So tell your story.

This week Pastor Brian Keepers will focus on the topic of how God calls us to return to Him, to stay rooted in His commands, by giving our tithes and offerings as an act of worship.  When we fail to do this, we are robbing God of what already belongs to him.  But when we are faithful and generous in our giving, God opens up the windows of heaven and rains down his blessings.

This week Pastor Brian Keepers will explored the topic of Rooted: The One Who Shows Mercy. Jesus calls us to a missional life-a lifestyle of service.  And the heart of this call is to be with those who are on the margins-the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked.  However, it is important to understand that we’re not the ones who go meet the needs of others; rather, we also are in need.  As we receive God’s compassion and mercy in our lives, so we’re called to love our neighbor with compassion and mercy.
