What the Trees Know
Jesus teaches the kingdom of God “is like a mustard seed” that grows into a thriving mustard plant (Mark 4:30-32). The Psalmist sings those who trust in God will “flourish like a palm tree” (Ps 92:12). Ezekiel declares a tender twig will grow into a “noble cedar” and provide shelter for every kind of bird (Ezek 17:22-24). And the Apostle Paul reminds us that in Jesus Christ, we are a new creation (2 Cor 5:17). The Lord can and does grow great and wondrous things from small and unexpected beginnings.

On Rules, Relationships, and Rest
What does it mean to “Keep the Sabbath” as a day of rest from work (Deut 4)? Is it a rule? Is it a burden? Is it an invitation? When local religious authorities accuse Jesus and his disciples of breaking the law by ‘doing the work’ of eating and healing on the Sabbath, Jesus responds by showing them what the Sabbath is really all about (Mark 2 & 3).

Persons of the Trinity
We may never be able to comprehend the Trinity, and we probably weren’t meant to. But what we can understand, know, and trust is who God is and what God has done for us. And every day when we experience community and see our fellow person. We are living in the presence of the Triune God.

Who is the Holy Spirit… for you
It can be tough to talk about the Holy Spirit: the Wind who moved over the waters of creation (Genesis 1; Psalm 104); the Pentecost fire who inspired the disciples to share the good news of Jesus (Acts 2); the Advocate who intercedes for us with “sighs too deep for words” (John 15; Romans 8). Perhaps that’s because the Holy Spirit isn’t only Someone we talk about, the Holy Spirit is Someone we know. Who is the Holy Spirit for you?

Witness
When God was made incarnate and walked this earth in the form of Jesus Christ, it was in part to bear witness to the pain of this world. The disciples were the first witness to the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. They may have been the first to witness to this radical truth but they would not be the last. We are also witnesses to this remarkable story and are called to proclaim its truth.
