“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17 When you come to Christ, you receive a new life, a new King, and a new way of living. But living the new you requires more than a moment—it requires daily choices. In this message from our Living the New You series, we talk about where you are planted and how the winds and storms of life don’t weaken us when we are rooted in God—they strengthen us.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

When you come to Christ, you receive a new life, a new King, and a new way of living. But living the new you requires more than a moment—it requires daily choices.

In this message from our Living the New You series, we talk about where you are planted and how the winds and storms of life don’t weaken us when we are rooted in God—they strengthen us.

Scripture shows us that:

Wind makes trees grow stronger, not weaker

Stress produces strength when roots are deep

Fruit comes from health, not comfort

God calls His people “Oaks of Righteousness” (Isaiah 61), planted by the water, drawing life from Him even in seasons of drought.

📖 Scriptures referenced:

2 Corinthians 5:17

Mark 12:30–31

Isaiah 61:1–3

Matthew 12:33–35

Jeremiah 17:5–8

This sermon also includes a deeply personal testimony of loss, healing, and God’s faithfulness—showing how even the strongest storms can lead us closer to the light when we stay planted by the living water.

👉 Two decisions we all must make:

Choose to be planted by the water

Choose to turn toward God when the winds of life blow

If you’re facing pressure, change, or uncertainty, this message will encourage you to stay rooted, keep reaching for the light, and trust what God is growing in you.
