Sunday Lecture Series:
This past winter a huge pine tree blew over in our yard, snapping right off at the base, its roots having been crowded out and cut off by fences, rocks, and a storage shed from providing a proper source of grounding and continued growth.
I identified somehow with this tree, thinking that sometimes we are all about to be snapped off from our shallow roots and blown over by all those things that overwhelm us day in and day out, that cut us off from the proper source of grounding and growth we would hope to have.
And more than that, we intuitively know that we are being blocked on many levels from the life God has promised, the vision of which he has ingrained in us as hope.
But often life is just one thing after another, and as we deal with the pebble in our shoe on one day, our whole existence gets thrown off balance by that which goes unattended.
We must catch the larger vision of ourselves as created in God’s image to attend to the whole of our living…to answer the big questions about life, death, purpose, good and evil that put the smaller questions in proper context and scope.
To do that is the goal of the Adult Education Series I will be teaching in the early Fall, beginning on September 18th, namely to examine the substance, context, and practice of a faith that is not just knowledge about God, but a life-shaping formation in a proper relationship with God, who is revealed in the depths of Holy Scripture.
