Sunday Sermon Recap
What happens to a tree when it’s separated from its source of water? It becomes dry, weak, parched, and eventually stops producing fruit.
The same can happen in our spiritual lives. When we rely on ourselves for our strength, eventually we become depleted. But when we plant ourselves firmly in God’s Word, He sustains us. Psalm 1 describes the person who delights in God’s Word as “a tree planted by streams of water”—one that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither.
Jeremiah 17 gives us the same beautiful picture: when our trust is in the Lord, we can remain green and fruitful even when the heat comes and drought surrounds us.
Deeper roots → Greater stability → Spiritual growth → Lasting fruit → Farther impact
Storms will come. Difficult seasons will come. There may even be seasons that feel like drought. The goal isn’t to build a life without storms—it’s to develop roots deep enough to withstand them. And those roots grow when we continually return to the truth of God’s Word. Stronger roots. Better fruit. Farther reach. All for His glory.
Psalm 1:1–3
Jeremiah 17:5–8

Mental Wellness Devotionals
Head & Heart: Mental Wellness Devotional
Ty Broermann has begun writing a new devotional series entitled: Head and Heart. The devotions will focus on mental health topics. Ty is a 22-year-old, a recent graduate of Miami (OH) University, and a member of First Baptist Church. He is not a mental health professional, but he is someone who feels called to be a warrior in the battle for mental health. He writes from his own experiences and creates dialogue from those experiences with God’s Word. Ty intends to create a weekly devotional that will be available to the church via hard copy, church website, and Facebook.
