Rooted – Worship
August 31, 2025
Description:
What does it take to grow spiritually strong and stay rooted in your faith? In Acts 2, we see the early church thriving because they devoted themselves to seven life-giving rhythms: Daily Devotion, Prayer, Repentance, , Serving, Generosity, Sharing Your Story, and Worship.
This series, Rooted, will help you cultivate these spiritual practices—not as religious duties, but as relational habits that anchor you in Christ and bear lasting fruit. Each week, we’ll unpack one rhythm and show you how to live it out in practical, powerful ways. Because when you’re rooted in God, you’re ready for anything life throws your way.

Action Steps
- Reflect on your worship – Ask yourself whether your worship is more about style or heart. Consider your posture before God.
- Read 2 Samuel 6 this week – Slowly and prayerfully, noting how David’s attitude toward worship changes.
- Pray daily – Ask God to reveal any areas where you’ve been treating His presence casually.
- Stretch yourself in worship – Take one small step outside your comfort zone this week, whether it’s singing, raising your hands, or focusing your heart more intentionally during worship.
- Journal – Write down how God’s presence has blessed you. Keep a weekly log of “God moments” where you sense His nearness.
- Invite someone to church – Just like David blessed the people after worship, share your joy and invite others into God’s presence.
