Dealing With the Root, Part 1

Dealing with the Root | Genesis 20

What’s beneath the surface will eventually break through. Just like roots can crack the strongest foundation, spiritual “roots” left undealt with—fear, anger, bitterness, pride—will resurface and wreak havoc in our lives. In Genesis 20, Abraham repeats the same mistake he made 25 years earlier. Despite God’s promises, fear takes root again. But even in failure, God shows His presence, His power, and His grace.

In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through Abraham’s struggle and shows us how God: 

• Exposes the roots that remain hidden in our hearts
• Confronts us through truth and conviction
• Leads us to confession and renewal
• Continues to use us by His grace

Sanctification is slow, intentional work. It’s about pulling out the roots before they destroy the foundation. The good news? God never gives up on His children.
