Catalyst Church of Carrollton - 9/7/25 "Get To The Root"
“So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.” Matthew 7:17-18 ESV
Surface fixes don’t heal deep wounds.
People pleasing is not who you are, it’s how you survived.
Rebellion is pain in disguise.
Words wound.
Sex isn’t the problem. It’s a signal and a symptom.
Hyper independence happened because you got hurt too many times depending on others.
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV
Pain can make you want to disappear.
