Rooted and Established in Love

Every church is to be rooted and established in love. This is important because it gets to the very heart of God. God’s core nature is self-giving, agape, unexplainable love. For a church to be rooted in love means that the church is truly rooted in God, because God is love. There are other things a church can be rooted in, but ultimately those things puff-up rather than build-up. As we grow together, rooted in love, we respond to life’s challenging situations and challenging people with this same love that surpasses knowledge and understanding. And we find that God does immeasurably more than we ask or imagine.
