To firmly root God’s people in His eternal truth
Matthew 6:33
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these things shall be added unto you.
The Greatest Commandment
Love the Lord your God with all your heart; with all your soul; with all your strength; and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Great Commission
Go and make disciples of all nations; baptizing and teaching…
“Homothumodon” – One Mind
First 5 chapters of Acts the disciples were in “one mind” and amazing things happened
He is like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and its leaves do not whither
Colossians 2:6Just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted…
Who of us wouldn’t want our lives to feel like they were FIRMLY ROOTED? Rooted in such a place that we would not experience the natural loss of leaves and fruits, but would be connected to a stream that allowed us to produce leaves and fruits at all times.
Is it possible that we can get so connected to God’s truth that our lives could be experienced and described as above?
It is our prayer that by engaging together around God’s Word we experience the following:
1. A life that is never on shaky ground (uncertainty), but is standing on solid ground (certainty).
2. A life that is never dry, but continually refreshed and new by a life giving source.
3. A life that is never fruitless, but always producing fruit and positively affecting the world around us.
May God richly bless us as we grow our roots together!
Questions? We’d love to hear from you!
