When you speak, what does your voice carry?

More than mere pitch, tone, and cadence, your words confess something. Do your words transmit truth and life, or do they fill the atmosphere with doubt and fear?

Every day our thoughts and spoken words shape us as we repeat, imitate and reflect the things that our minds grab hold of. Our prayer is that God's Word would be implanted in every heart. That the echoes in our mind would originate from the Word of God and His truth that brings freedom, life and transformation.

Botanical imagery is woven all throughout Scripture, and it gives us beautiful pictures of the natural and spiritual realities that are at work all around us. Genesis 8:22 says “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

In Christ, we carry the work of God's Kingdom in us. Small seeds that when grown, produce a great harvest of eternal value, carrying the message of the gospel to the world around us.

Our heart is that seeds of purpose, renewal and transformation will be planted and watered as we encounter the living God. We pray that your knowledge and understanding of God’s word would grow and you will be equipped to put it into practice as you grow in relationships with others.
