Understanding who God wants us to be Pt. 4

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our understanding of who God wants us to be as Christians. The central scripture, Colossians 2:6-7, urges us to 'walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith.' This imagery of a tree with strong roots, a sturdy trunk, and fruitful branches beautifully illustrates our spiritual growth. We're reminded that while God does the work of rooting, building, and establishing us, we have a crucial role to play in our spiritual development. By meditating on God's Word day and night, being people of prayer, and keeping ourselves in God's love, we actively participate in our growth. The message emphasizes that our testimony matters - not just for ourselves, but for those around us. It encourages us to live in such a way that our faith causes others to rejoice, even those who have never met us. This teaching is particularly relevant as we navigate a world that often challenges our faith, reminding us that with God's help, we can overcome any obstacle and live a life of abundance and thanksgiving
