The Story of the Trees

Kyle Kauffman

Trees in many ways are both a source of life for us. They provide oxygen and nourishment for us. If we were to remove all trees, we would quickly die. Trees in the bible are not only a source of life, but they are also a symbol of life and death. We find two trees in the very beginning that were meant to teach us what it meant to truly have life. Life was to be found in loving, trusting and obeying God. But instead of choosing life, we chose death. But another tree tells us of the one who came and chose death so that we could have life. He died the death we deserve to die so that we could find life in him. We know that even as death continues to rage in this world, we can find life in him. And yet we still long for fullness of life forever. We long for death and all the hurt it has caused to be fully removed and for fullness of life to be all that we experience. This is our future in Jesus because he is our tree of life.

The Story of the Walk

Joel Wood

There’s something within each of us that craves connection. . .companionship. . .relationship. Whether that’s in the form of friendship or marriage the feeling and desire is the same. It’s intrinsic within each of us and vividly points to the deepest and greatest need inside each of us. . .connection to and fellowship with God, which is what we were created to have. The Bible describes this relationship with God as a walk where He is calling us to spend time with Him, get to know Him as our Creator, hear His heart, know what He wants for us, and know what His plan is for this world. From the very beginning of the story God walked physically and personally with the people He created and at the end of the story He will once again walk physically and personally with the people He saved. Every moment in between tells the story of that walk: how it began, how we lost it, and what God has done to restore that walk with Him. Ultimately, what you discover along the way is the life-changing truth that there is fullness of joy by walking with God both now and forever!

The Story of Clothing

Kyle Kauffman

Clothes are a daily part of our life. They keep us warm, make us look presentable, and can be a signal of our position/role in life. But clothes also tell a story. They tell a story of honor that was lost, and the shame that replaced it. They tell of story of a savior who bears our shame and clothes us with his honor. They tell a story of clothes we now seek to put on as God renews and changes us. And they tell a story of a day where clothes and bodies will no longer where out because the clothes we are given will last forever.
