Planted
Three unmistakable pieces of evidence that someone is a true follower of Jesus Christ: a changed attitude, changed actions, and adding other disciples to Christ's kingdom. Final message in the Planted series.
Being a Christian means being rooted in Christ — but how do we live that out when cultural and political tensions run high? In this message from our "Planted" series, we explore three ways to respond when the heat gets turned up: remember our identity is in Christ, focus on our mission to love others, and respond with love and grace.
Using the tree metaphor from Psalm 1 and Jeremiah 17, Pastor Josh White shares three reasons why we serve: because that's who we are, to spread God's grace to others, and because our service will be judged by Christ.
Using the tree trunk as a picture of the local church, Pastor Josh White unpacks Philippians 2 to show how healthy self-care and intentional concern for others keep us from selfishness.
What determines your spiritual life expectancy? In the first message of the "Planted" series, Pastor Josh White uses Psalm 1 and Jeremiah 17 to show that where we are planted — in God's Word and in Christ alone — determines whether we flourish or wither.
