Rooftop Church Sermons

Most of us don't think of ourselves as rebels. But according to the Bible, we all are. There are consequences for our rebellion. But there can also be forgiveness. Join us as we continue our series on sin.

This week Pastor Schuyler examines sin as debt and looks at the final word of Jesus on the cross and reveals how Jesus paid it all.

What does it mean to be foolish? Is it just childish immaturity or is it something deeper. Perhaps foolishness is keeping us from experiencing the calling and life of God. More importantly how does Jesus show us a better way? A way that the world sees as foolishness but God sees as life.

On Easter we celebrate Jesus as the "firstborn from among the dead." Sounds cool! But what does it mean? And if Jesus is first, are we second? Third? Where are we in the birth order, or does it even work like that?

Pastor Schuyler discusses sin as bondage. Are you struggling to find purpose? Are you having trouble maintaining relationships? Do you feel weighed down by sin? Perhaps you are in chains. But ‘if the Son sets you free you are free indeed.’

We all have desires for all kinds of things. Some of these desires are good, some bad. Some carnal, some spiritual. How do we know which of our desires are sinful? And how do we deal with desires that might lead us away from God? Listen in to week 2 of our series, "Sin: What Is It, Really?" as we talk about Sin as Desire.

Join us as we start our new series “Sin: What Is It Really?” We begin our series with the idea of wandering. What do we do when we find ourselves in places we didn’t expect.

Pastor Schuyler wraps up our Six Reasons series talking about the resurrection. Are there more plausible explanations for the empty tomb or do we have evidence to believe Jesus raised from the dead? And if he did, what does that mean for humanity?

According to a study, half of all Americans say they have had a 'religious experience.' Are these experiences evidence that God is real? Or is there a more likely explanation? And what about those of us who have never experienced God? Are we missing out on something? And if so, how can we experience God in the way that other people say they have?

Do right and wrong exist? And if they do, where do they come from? Listen in as Matt Herndon discusses whether or not objective morality is real and if God is the best explanation.

Is the church a force for good? Join us as we investigate some of the unique contributions the people of God have given the world.

"The Big Bang Theory" TV show didn't just create itself. It had an origin and an originator. The universe didn't just create itself, either. It had an origin, and an Originator. Or did it? Does the beginning of the universe have anything to tell us about the reality of God? And what does this mean for us? Join us as we continue our series, "Six Reasons I Might Lose My Faith, and Six Reasons I Won't." Learn if the big bang theory gives us any reason to believe that God is real, or not.

Our universe is fined tuned to support life. From physics, to elements, to DNA it all appears to be custom made to sustain life. Is this by chance? Or is there a better answer to the universe we inhabit?

With all the suffering and evil in the world, how can anyone believe in a loving God? Pastor Schuyler looks at the problem of evil and shows us how we can acknowledge the depth of suffering and still uphold the Christian view of the character of God.

Christians preach the gospel, that Jesus died for our sins so we can go to heaven and not to hell. There is hope and power in that message. But does the gospel even make sense? Skeptics say it doesn't. Listen to their arguments and how a Christian might respond.

Does God answer prayer like His Word says He will? Are unanswered prayers evidence of that God doesn’t exist? Join us as we humble walk through these objects to the faith and more.

The Old Testament describes a God who orders his people to kill entire people groups, including children, and animals, because they worshiped different gods. Then Jesus comes along and says we should love our enemies, instead. How do we reconcile these two portraits of God?

Are all world religions the same? It has been said by some that “all paths lead to the same destination” and “all streams lead to the same ocean.” If that’s the case what is so special about Christianity? Why should we follow Jesus and not the Buddha or Muhammad? Is Christianity just another world religion? Pastor Schuyler tackles this question in the latest installment of our series, "Six Reasons I Might Lose My Faith, and Six Reasons I Won't."

Does science offer a better explanation for the world than God? Lots of people think it does, and many Christians have left the faith because of science. But has science killed God? Listen in to week one as we start our series, "Six Reasons I Might Lose My Faith, and Six Reasons I Won't."

Join us as we wrap up our series on James. Here at the end James talks to us about the importance of being in community with each other as we walk the way of wisdom.
