On World Communion Sunday, Christians around the globe gather at the Lord's Table, and in Week 4 of Rooted: Practices That Form a Disciple, we come to that Table too. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, this message explores how a divided church in Corinth forgot who the Table was for, and what Paul meant by "discerning the body." We'll look at John Wesley's conviction that communion is a means of grace, not a reward for the worthy, and discover what it means not just to remember but to re-member: to be put back together as one body in Christ. Plus, a Christmas Eve story about a seven-year-old, his little sister on the back pew, and a small piece of bread that made Holy Communion more holy than ever. Wherever you are, there's a place set for you.

Rooted Week 3: Life Together
You weren't built to do this alone. In this episode, we dig into Acts 2:42-47, the picture Luke paints of the early church, a community devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, so devoted that no one among them went without. We talk about why community is often the hardest part of faith, why vulnerability isn't the cost of belonging but the whole point of it, and what John Wesley's class meetings can still teach us about "Christian conferencing" today. Plus, a look at this week's Faith Challenge and how you can practice "life together" in your own week, one day at a time.

Rooted Week 2: Teach Us to Pray
Ever feel like you don't know what to say when you pray? You're not alone — even Jesus' own disciples had to ask him, "Lord, teach us to pray." This week, we're digging into Luke 11:1-13 and discovering that prayer was never about finding the right words — it's about honest, persistent asking to a God who gives good gifts. We'll talk about what actually gets in the way of a real prayer life, what John Wesley believed about prayer as one of the ordinary channels of God's grace, and what to do with the prayers that still feel unanswered. Plus — you'll never hear a chocolate chip cookie the same way again.
