Rooted: How Spiritual Growth Happens in Christian Community

January 11, 2026

Pastor Joe Wickman

What does it really mean to be rooted in Christ—and why does growth never happen alone?In this message from our Growth: The Work of God series, we explore how spiritual growth happens when we put down deep roots in Jesus and intentionally connect to the body of Christ. Using powerful biblical imagery of trees, roots, and flourishing life, this sermon addresses the tension every believer faces: uprooting old habits while learning how to grow strong in faith.Whether you’re new to faith, feeling spiritually dry, or struggling to stay connected, this message is an invitation to move from spiritual survival to lasting fruitfulness—together.
