Even Better than Eden

← Return to Women's Ministry Page
Throughout 2026, we will explore what it means to be women who are truly alive in Christ and how to “walk in him.” May we learn to follow Jesus deliberately, faithfully, and joyfully. This passage invites us to know Him more, love one another well, live out the gospel in everyday life, and invest in others as we have been taught. May this be a year of deepening roots, shared encouragement, and abundant fruit for God’s glory.
Women who are alive in Christ must have lives that are sustained by deep roots in Him. Time spent in God’s Word is essential to having our hearts firmly planted in the gospel, and from these roots, true spiritual life and growth happens.

“Rooted and built up [Colossians 2:7] are participles modifying the word walk, that is, live. Walk means how we walk in life, how we move through life. Paul encourages the Colossians to walk rooted. Being rooted describes the manner of the Christian life. Live rooted in Jesus, his person and work.

This is not abstract. This is a how-to. Paul wants us to really get practical here. Rooted is how you get up in the morning. Rooted is how you eat breakfast, how you to go work, how you come home, play with the kids, cut the grass, have sex, sleep. Do it all rooted in Jesus. Do it all by drawing up nourishment from Jesus. Do it all in the confidence that you are firmly planted in Jesus. That is the way to live. Don’t live a wobbly, unnourished life.” – John Piper
