Hidden in Plain Sight // Rooted Part 6 // Pastor Greg Colbert

Описание: Hidden In Plain Sight | Rooted Series
In this powerful message from our Rooted series, we dive into Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the weeds in Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43 (NIV) and uncover a sobering truth: not everything growing in your field was planted by God.


“Hidden In Plain Sight” challenges us to examine what’s been allowed to grow alongside the good seed in our lives. Jesus reveals that while He sows good seed, the enemy also sows weeds — often unnoticed at first. And sometimes what looks similar on the surface has very different roots.

🌱 What does it really mean to be rooted?

To be firmly established, anchored, and nourished in Christ so that your faith remains steady regardless of circumstances. A rooted life draws strength from an unshakable connection to Jesus — and that connection produces growth.
But remember:
Before elevation, there must be excavation.
God is concerned with what’s beneath the surface.
Because what’s rooted determines what’s revealed.
In this message, we explore:


The reality of spiritual opposition


Why God allows wheat and weeds to grow together


The importance of fruit inspection


The progression of spiritual maturity:
Rooted → Faithful → Fruitful → Multiply


We also confront this truth:

A fruitful mentality without a multiplication mentality eventually creates a maintenance mentality.

Are you just maintaining… or are you multiplying?
As Jesus warns in Matthew 26:41 (NIV):

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

This message will challenge you to stay alert, stay rooted, and stay ready for the harvest.
If you have ears to hear, let them hear.
