Leadership

 

As believers in Jesus Christ we see our involvement in Roots as a God given task, which he has personally called each of us into.  It is God's work and though he does not NEED us, he WANTS to use us for His glory.  

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works so that no-one can boast.  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

CHURCH

 

As you can see from the Team List, all our helpers/leaders are rooted in a particular fellowship.  Roots is NOT a replacement for regular worship and service in our own church fellowships and we do not encourage the young people to become Roots 'junkies'.  Instead we urge them to obey God's command to accept Jesus Christ through faith and repentance and then take their place in His church as adopted children.

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as we see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25

 

BIBLE

 

As the Word of God is taught and preached we place ourselves under its authority and so under the authority of our LORD Jesus.

We believe that all 66 books of the Old and New Testament are the inspired Word of God without any error or contradiction.

We are called to change as followers of Christ, but the Word of God never changes.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless.

Psalm 18:30

All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

 

PRAYER

 

We pray the Tuesday before each Roots (7-8pm at Inshes Church) for the work God has engaged us in.  Asking God to use us and teach us and glorify his name.

Prayer is at the heart of the work of Roots because it focusses our attention on God and asks him to do great things in young lives.  

We also encourage our leaders/helpers to be fully involved in the regular prayer meetings of their churches as this is our responsibility AND privilege as Christians and we dare not ignore what God tells us is important.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.  With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Ephesians 6:18
