Rooted Plants Last
Pastor Pete Keirstead

Ephesians 3:17 (NIV) …And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love…
Revelation 22:1-2 Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.
Galatians 6:7 You will always harvest what you plant.
Genesis 1:11 …These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.
- When I give
2 Corinthians 9:6-8,10-11 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. …He will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous…
- When I give
Matthew 6:21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Revelations 2:7 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what He is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God.”
- Hearing gives us information.
Luke 9:59,61 He said to another person, “Come, follow Me.”
The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow You, but first let me say good-bye to my family.”
Mark 10:28-30 Then Peter began to speak up. “We’ve given up everything to follow You,” he said. “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for My sake and for the Good News, will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.”
Ephesians 3:16-19 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
