Genesis 8:22 (NKJV) “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” God has built the world on unchanging principles—Seed | Time | Harvest—and the same applies to your spiritual life. In this week’s message, we explore what it means to be ROOTED: to be firmly established, anchored, and nourished in Christ, so your faith stands strong no matter what comes your way. Before you can rise, there must be a digging down. Before Elevation, there must be Excavation. When your life is truly rooted in Jesus, the process becomes clear: Rooted → Faithful → Fruitful → Multiply. But where are your roots planted? Is your heart soil Wayside, Stony, Thorny… or Good? We dive into big questions: — Have you been faithful to what God gave you? — Are you trying to replant over and over instead of staying rooted? — Have you sanctified your perspective in the dark seasons? — Are you ALL IN? Because potential alone doesn’t produce fruit—faithfulness does. Potential doesn’t guarantee fruitfulness. It only guarantees possibility. 🔥 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: – Genesis 8:22 – 1 Kings 18:21 – Revelation 3:15-16 – Hebrews 13:17 📌 KEY TAKEAWAYS: – God develops you in the dark. – Darkness is often a sign that something is about to happen. – Don’t doubt in the dark what God promised you in the light. – Control the controllables. – You can’t multiply without first being rooted. 🎯 If you’re ready to stop wavering and go ALL IN, this message is for you.

ROOTED | Thrive City Church 2026 Vision Message 🌱 Welcome to our 2026 vision message at Thrive City Church! This year, we believe God is calling us to go deeper—to become ROOTED in Christ like never before. In a world that prizes surface-level success, God is inviting us into depth. Just like a tree draws strength from deep roots, our spiritual growth depends on how anchored we are in Him. Your capacity for fruit is determined by the depth of your roots. 🌳 📖 Key Scriptures: John 16:13 AMP – The Spirit of Truth will guide you into all truth. Colossians 2:7 NLT – Let your roots grow down into Him... Psalm 1:1–3 AMP – Be like a tree planted by streams of water... Jeremiah 17:7–8 NLT – Trees with deep roots thrive in any season. Luke 5:4 NKJV – Launch out into the deep. Romans 12:2 – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 🛠 What does it mean to be rooted? To be rooted is to be firmly established, anchored, and nourished in Christ so that your faith remains steady, no matter what life brings. In 2026, God wants to create space, sanctify our foundations, and prepare us for multiplication. ⚒️ This is a Capacity Year. God is excavating what's beneath the surface to develop us internally before He multiplies us externally. Rooted → Faithful → Fruitful → Multiply. 🌊 Will your life create a ripple effect of righteousness or decay? Ripe Ripples: Maturity that reproduces healthy impact. Rotten Ripples: Premature exposure that spreads brokenness. 🔥 Let 2026 be the year your private devotion fuels your public impact. 🔔 Subscribe for more faith-building messages and stay connected to all God is doing through Thrive City Church! #Rooted2026 #ThriveCityChurch #FaithfulFruitfulMultiply #ChristianGrowth #KingdomMaturity
