Roots | How Salvation Works - When Is Enough Enough?
The story of our roots continues. As in all relationships, things have shifted from the near-daily drama of the epic and spectacular to daily routines. What will God do about their need for food every day? How much can we trust God? How much control do we have? So many questions to answer as we learn to walk with God.
Songs for this week: Spotify
Exodus 16:2-16
Questions:
- Recall a time when money or food was in short supply. How did that feel? Tell the story.
- Why do human beings grumble? What’s at the root of it?
- What’s the evidence for God being generous (or ungenerous!) in your life? How are you learning to trust him these days?
- What do you imagine the next 40 years (or however long you have left!) could include for you? What would it look like for you to grumble through that? What might change if you were to trust God?
- What does it mean for Jesus to be ‘the Bread of Heaven? (John 6:30-35). What difference does that make?

Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth. Just as the best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the genuine article, the best way to recognize false teaching is to know Jesus.
