Lessons from a Cottonwood Grove

Rooted in Christ, flourishing in faith – drawing life from God, not the world.

This sermon was Larry Coulter’s farewell message as he retires after 45 years in ministry, with 10 years at Lakeway Church. Using Jeremiah 17:5-8, he contrasts two types of people – those who trust in themselves versus those who trust in the Lord. Through personal stories and the metaphor of cottonwood trees in the Grand Canyon, he illustrates how spiritual growth progresses from seed to sapling to mature trees, emphasizing the importance of developing deep roots in faith.

Where is your trust planted? If you’ve been feeling dry, anxious, or distant from God, it may be time to shift your trust from human strength to divine provision. This week, choose to be like a tree planted by the water—deeply rooted in Christ, drawing from His never-ending source of life and strength.

Relationship Reset

Fight Right

Philippians 2:1-8 and Matthew 7:12 provide a powerful framework for handling conflict in relationships. Philippians calls us to approach others with humility, selflessness, and the mindset of Christ, prioritizing their needs above our own. Matthew 7:12, the Golden Rule, challenges us to treat others as we want to be treated, fostering mutual respect and empathy. Together, these verses teach us to fight for the relationship, not to win arguments or prove we are right. Instead of seeking victory, we seek understanding, reconciliation, and unity, valuing the person and the connection over being right. This approach fosters healthy, grace-filled relationships that reflect Christ’s love. 

 Scripture Reading: Philipians 2:1-8

 ‘So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.’ Matthew 7:12 (NIV)

 ‘Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.’  Ephesians 5:1 (NIV)

Relationship Reset

Week 1: The Power of Words

Pastor Scott begins a two-week series rooted in biblical wisdom, Relationship Reset. You will discover the path to thriving relationships and learn how to restore, strengthen, and bring life to your most important relationships.

 Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:29 + Proverbs 18:21

Ephesians 4:29 and Proverbs 18:21 together emphasize the incredible power of our words. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that our words hold the power of life and death, while Ephesians 4:29 urges us to speak only words that build up and give grace. Practically, this means recognizing that our words can either uplift and encourage or wound and destroy. Speaking positively brings life, strengthens relationships, and reflects God’s grace. Conversely, negative or careless words can harm, discourage, and break trust. These verses challenge us to be mindful of our speech, using it as a tool to bless and nurture others.

Life is Hard – God is Good

God Forgives

Exodus 34:4–7 paints a picture of a God who is both holy and merciful, forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. Today, Pastor Luke Gordon unpacks the transformative power of God’s forgiveness—a forgiveness that reaches beyond our failures and restores us to His presence. What does it mean to embrace His mercy, even when we feel undeserving? And how can we reflect this grace in our relationships with others? Join us as we explore the boundless forgiveness of God and the hope it brings to our lives.
