Rooted | Pastor Chris Dowd

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine where we place our trust. The central passage, Jeremiah 17:5-8, presents a stark contrast between those who trust in man and those who trust in the Lord. We're reminded that relying on our own strength or the approval of others often leads to spiritual drought and isolation. However, when we fully trust in God, we become like trees planted by streams, flourishing even in difficult times. This imagery beautifully illustrates the peace and fruitfulness that come from a life rooted in faith. The message encourages us to reflect on areas where we might be turning away from God and instead invites us to lean completely on His wisdom and strength. It's a call to surrender our self-reliance and embrace the blessings that come from trusting God with every aspect of our lives.
