Rooted and Growing is an opportunity to grow in our relationship with Jesus. It can happen anytime or anywhere. On this page you'll find some of the opportunities that we have for you to connect with people for various reasons and grow through relationship while studying the bible. We will also provide links to various videos for those times when you are not able to connect with someone but want to know more. Come back and keep checking this page for more growth opportunities.


If you have any questions or would like to speak with someone please contact Pastor Marsha Krieger.

Below you will find Video Links where we will continually attach video links for you to view anytime, anywhere to help you grow.

We will also have "Growth Opportunities" that include bible studies, and small groups that apply to you.

Today's Devotion


We want to help you as you learn to journal and do devotions.  In this section we will provide a sample of one of Pastor Sheldon's devotions. We hope you will learn from what he is learning as well as learn to journal on your own! Please be aware that as Pastor Sheldon writes his devotions, he addresses them to God.  We want to stay true to what he writes in his journal so you will notice that "You" is in capital letters when he is speaking to God in his devotions.


IT ALL DEPENDS ON MY HEART


Speak to me: Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” (‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭3‬, 31-32 NIV)


Action: Do whatever I can to guard my heart so that Satan doesn’t enter it. He might sift, but that’s more manageable than if he entered my heart.


Learn:  Satan entered Judas because Judas’ heart was always looking for fault and didn’t respect You. Satan had to ask for permission concerning the rest of the disciples, including Peter because their heart was not like Judas'. They were open and teachable enough to guard their heart. When it comes to Satan entering my life to destroy it, it all depends on my heart.


Talk with God:  Lord, help me to guard my heart so that Satan has no way in. He might try to sift, which I’m thankful that You intercede for me that my faith may not fail. Thank You for Your Word.

    Sanctuary

    What did Paul mean when he said “there is neither Jew nor Gentile....for we are all one in Christ Jesus”? Guy Cohen grew up in an Orthodox Jewish home and later accepted Yeshua as his Savior. Along with his wife Tali, Guy founded and now leads Harvest of Asher in Akko Israel, a Messianic congregation consisting of Jewish and Gentile believers. Under their leadership, Harvest of Asher continues to serve the local Body as well as the surrounding area through worship, prayer and various humanitarian aid projects. We are privileged to have Guy to share his unique perspective on believing Jew and Gentile together in Yeshua and furthering our understanding of the importance of the Jewish roots of our faith.


    A love offering will be received for Guy and Tali.
