We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

When you plant a seed of a tree, the first priority is to sprout roots

so that it can begin to be nourished by its surroundings. All right? Same for believers. When you're

saved, when you're newly saved, the first thing you need to start doing is sprouting roots so that

you can live off what's going on so you can't live off what's in you because you're not familiar

believers that you've surrounded yourself with.
