The Potted Plant

The Potted Plant

Imagine a potted plant. Instead of being planted firmly in rich soil where it can grow, it’s constantly being uprooted and moved to new locations. It might look fine for a while, but over time, the constant uprooting stunts its growth. The plant struggles to establish deep roots, produce fruit, or truly thrive because it’s always being relocated.

Now think about a church hopper. They move from one church to another, never staying long enough to build relationships, serve, or grow spiritually. If a sermon doesn’t resonate, the music isn’t their style, or the programs don’t suit their preferences, they pick up and move to the next church, searching for the "perfect" place. But like the potted plant, they miss the opportunity to develop deep roots, bear fruit, and contribute to the soil around them.

Are you planted in a church where you can grow, or are you constantly uprooting yourself, missing the chance to thrive?
