Stop Just Going To Church
STOP JUST GOING TO CHURCH
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.” Psalm 92:12 - 15 (NIV)
YOUR LIFE IS A SEED
A seed can only grow if it’s planted.
“Going to church” isn’t the same as being planted.
WHEN YOU ARE PLANTED...
Your roots grow deep.
They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought... Jeremiah 17:8a (NLT)
Your roots produce fruit.
…with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:8 (NLT)
