In November we’ll be walking with a man the Bible introduces as Abram. Soon enough, God changes his name to the more familiar “Abraham.”

“Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called their on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. And Abraham sojourned….” (Genesis 21:23-24)
As I write this in early October, there are a whole lot of trees being planted around here. Trees are an easy sell. People eagerly sign up to put a tree in the ground. Doing so in honor of a loved one makes it all the more special. A newly-planted tree, it seems to me, points both to our past and to our future.
Whenever we see the tree, we remember why we planted. What was the occasion? Who is it for? When did we do this thing? And, whenever we see the tree, we know it has many, many more years left. It will bring joy and delight to future generations. We may never sit in its shade or enjoy its fruit.
It’s not about us.

Sunday’s Coming ~ October 18, 2015
This weeks message continues our “Heidelberg U” series. We’ll look at several passages from scripture that explain the depth and breadth of our sin. Indeed, we are broken and messed up people. It doesn’t take much to see that in our world today. If last week’s message was about comfort, this week’s message is about discomfort.
