CONNECT: Life's Greatest Relationships

This message opens the Rooted series by exploring how life flourishes when it’s built on strong relationships — with God and with others. Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37–39, Pastor Mark Garrett reminds us that everything in faith and life hangs on two connections: loving God and loving people.

Through real-life stories, biblical truth, and everyday application, this sermon calls us to reconnect where we’ve drifted, to find stability in God as our source, and to rediscover the strength that comes from genuine community. When our lives are rooted in God’s love and intertwined with others, we can bend in the storms of life — but we won’t break.
