This world we live in is hell-bent transforming us into its pattern (pun intended) on – but God has been gracious enough to give us each other – the church – to help us be transformed heavenward. The church is not perfect. It’s often inconvenient. But it is in this vineyard that we grow. This is where we grow roots and ultimately produce the fruit of the Spirit. And that’s exactly what the Father wants.

From Series: "The Power of Place"

But this freedom of movement comes with a cost…we're lonely and unfulfilled, disconnected, and unsatisfied. What is the missing piece? In this sermon series, The Power of Place, Dr. Jim Mann will discusses the counter-cultural idea of staying put and growing roots.
