Sermon Tone Analysis

Summer is glorious, especially early summer.

Now is the time to plant.

It is the time for planting flowers, vegetables, or trees and shrubs.

For some plants, we plant seeds.

Other times, the seed has already been planted and watered and nurtured in a greenhouse, and now is the time to take them outside and plant them.

In either case, it is essential that the plants take root.

If they do not, they will die.

The roots of the plant do two things.

First, they help anchor the plant in the soil.

The roots hold firm in the soil when the environment wants to tip the plant over and uproot it from the soil.

Second, the roots transfer the water and other nutrients from the soil to the inner parts of the plants, helping the plant to grow and thrive.

Roots are essential to the life of the plant.

All of these plants that we see people planting must begin to take root in the soil, or they will die.
