Warm-Up for Sunday: You ever laid any sod? If you have you know that the grass isn’t firmly established until the roots are firmly established. The apostle Paul calls us to be “firmly rooted in Christ” (Colossians 2:6-7). What does that mean? What does it take? What does it look like when we’re firmly rooted? This coming Sunday we will explore these questions and others as we consider the call to be firmly rooted in Christ. Lord willing, see you this Sunday. Related scriptures include: Hebrews 5:12-14, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, 1 Peter 2:2, John 5:39-40, 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
