The Root and the Fruit: Recent Episodes
Liz
Welcome home, friend! Here at the Root and the Fruit, we are absurdly passionate about healthy spiritual growth. We delve into all things related to Christ, the Church, and fresh perspectives when reading the Bible. First, the Root: We deal with what lurks beneath the surface. These are the areas in our life that are hidden to others, but which we know need transformation. Secondly, the Fruit: We discuss what tangible actions we will need take to display stronger evidence of our authentic faith. You will leave challenged, encouraged, and walking deeper with Christ than ever before. Let's go!
One of the very last things Christ said before He ascended back to heaven was "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth."
Well, if He has all authority, where does that leave us, as His followers?
Well, He has also given us authority.
BUT, if we don't know how to access it, we will likely have a faith that we wish was more powerful...but if we are honest with ourselves, is sometimes lacking.
Get access to that power through:
-God's strength
-The Word
-Your righteousness
-Serving others
-Prayer
-Standing firm
-The blood of Christ
-Your testimony
-Your salvation
Need more details? Make sure to listen in today so you can walk in Christ's authority which is yours as a child of God!!
