Trees were planted by God to be a blessing to the world. However, like any gift, they can easily become idols. This becomes apparent when God's people pick up the idolotrice practice of worshiping Asherahs, poles made from trees. Much like today, these embody our temptation to look for blessing from the things of this earth instead of from God.

A Righteous Branch 20.07.2025 30:51 ↓

The people of Israel looked hopeless when the exile came, and Israel compared their state to a stump, a tree once full of life that was cut down. However, a branch was promised that would rise again from the lineage of Jesse who would restore the fate of His people.

In this sermon, we discuss why talking about theology matters for our lives, the beauty of the trinity, and how God being The Father makes a world of difference in how we see ourselves and why we're here.

I Believe 27.04.2025 31:57 ↓

We're starting a new series on the Apostles Creed. The creed starts with two simple words, "I Believe." They may seem simple and common, but they're loaded with meaning for us. How does the "I" point to both our individual ownership and our collective nature? And how does "Believe" remind us of both the gift of faith and the responsibility of living it out? We explore in this message.
