EASTER AT RISE

Putting Down Roots

Jan 4, 2026    Jarrod McClintick

This message invites us to move from simply attending church to truly being the church. Rooted in Psalm 92 and Jeremiah 17, we’re reminded that God’s design isn’t about showing up to a service, but about being planted in a spiritual family. Those who put down roots in God’s house flourish, withstand storms, and continue to bear fruit. Attending may change our schedule, but being planted transforms our hearts. Real spiritual fruit doesn’t grow from the rows we sit in, but from the roots we grow together. We were never meant to walk this faith alone—because when life gets hard, it’s the depth of our connection that determines whether we stand.
