WHY?PLANTED

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;13 planted in the house of the Lord,    they will flourish in the courts of our God.14 They will still bear fruit in old age,    they will stay fresh and green,15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;    he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

Planted in the

word

Planted in the father

planted in the house of the

Lord

Like a Cedar tree

‘ekklesia’ = called out and an assembly

Called out of an ‘old house’ and planted in a

‘new house’

We did not choose to be part of a church – God

called you to be part of a church

JOHN WESLEY SAID

CATCH ON FIRE WITH ENTHUSIASM AND

PEOPLE WILL COME FROM MILES AWAY

TO WATCH YOU BURN! YOU KNOW HOW

TO CATCH ON FIRE AND STAY ON FIRE

FOR GOD, WE MUST BE PLANTED IN THE

HOUSE OF THE LORD
