Rooted Part 2 | Pastor Chris Dowd

In this powerful exploration of Psalm 1, we're challenged to examine where we're truly rooted - in the world or in God's Word. The passage paints a vivid picture of two contrasting paths: one that leads us away from God through worldly influences, and another that anchors us firmly in His truth. We're reminded of the slippery slope that begins with simply listening to the wrong voices, progresses to learning from poor examples, and ultimately leads to promoting harmful ideologies. However, there's hope! By cultivating a love for God's Word, meditating on it day and night, and living out its truths, we can become like trees planted by streams of water - fruitful, resilient, and prosperous in all we do. This message urges us to critically evaluate the voices we allow to shape our thinking and to actively choose to delight in God's law, recognizing that our spiritual nourishment and growth depend on it.
