Join us this Sunday at Rooted & Rising Fellowship for a powerful message:

📖 Acts 9:10–18

🎤 Message:
"When God Sends You, You Have to Go"

Spoken by Pastor Dr. Lea Saxton

Have you ever sensed God calling you to do something that made you uncomfortable?

Ananias certainly did.

God sent him to a man named Saul—a persecutor of Christians and a man feared by many. Yet despite his questions, fears, and uncertainties, Ananias obeyed God's voice.

🔥 This life-changing message will explore:
• Obedience in the face of uncertainty
• Trusting God when the assignment is difficult
• Faith beyond fear
• How God uses ordinary people for extraordinary purposes
• Why your "yes" may be the key to someone else's breakthrough

📖 Key Scripture:
Acts 9:10–18

"Then Ananias went his way and entered the house..." — Acts 9:17

🌱 PURPOSE NOW, NOT LATER
This Week’s Message:
⚠️ “The Dangers of Maturity”
Spoken by Pastor Dr. Lea Waneko Saxton

📖 Main Scripture:
1 Corinthians 8:1
“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”
🔥 As believers grow spiritually, there is a danger we often ignore:
• Maturity without humility.
• Knowledge without love.
• Correction without compassion.
• Religion without relationship.

This message will challenge us to examine:
⚠️ Spiritual Pride
⚠️ Self-Righteousness
⚠️ Losing Our First Love
⚠️ Mistaking Information for Transformation
📖 Supporting Scriptures:
• Luke 18:9–14 — The Pharisee & the Tax Collector
• Hebrews 5:12–14 — Milk vs. Solid Food
• Galatians 6:1 — Restore Gently
• Revelation 2:4–5 — Returning to Your First Love
• Proverbs 16:18 — Pride Before Destruction
• John 15:5 — Apart From Me You Can Do Nothing

💡 Mature believers do not simply know more…
• They love deeper.
• Walk humbly.
• Restore gently.
• And reflect Christ faithfully.

🎤 Mother’s Day Message:
“There's an OTHER in Mother”
Spoken by Pastor Dr. Waneko Saxton

📖 Key Scripture
Isaiah 66:13 (KJV)
“As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you…”

🌸 Mentors & Women Who Nurture Others

Hidden inside the word MOTHER is:
✨ OTHER

Because motherhood is more than biology…
It is sacrifice, covering, prayer, strength, and love poured into others.
