Sharable notes for the January 31, 2021 message. You can post these notes on your social platform! 

Scriptures used: John 15:1-5; Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Timothy 6:10; Ephesians 6:10; Romans 1:25-26, 30, 6:23; Ephesians 3:16-19; Hebrews 12:2; Philippians 3:13-14

• Something is the primary source of your life. What are you trying to draw your strength, meaning, peace, hope, joy from? Jesus Christ is the only true source of life.

• The love of money is a false source of life. Life in Christ teaches us to give and when we give we make a declaration of faith that money does not control our life.

• Power is a false source of life. The Holy Spirit empowers us to serve, and to love others, not to be served..

• Sexual immorality is a false source of life. Outside of God's plan, sex is an exchange of the truth for a lie.

• Self is a false source of life. There is an incredible freedom when we die to self and live for Christ.

• We have to keep our focus on Christ to see our life grow in Him.

Reflect or meet with someone to discuss:

• What false life source have you fallen for before, or you may be guilty of trusting now?

• What signs can let you know that your spiritual roots may be getting weaker?

• How can you remain in Christ and keep your roots strong in Him?
