Sunday Morning Series with John and Barry

In this new 2010 series for Sunday mornings 'shades of green', we are going to look at trees in the Bible, some literal and some figurative.  We will dig around and see what we can discover.  Looking at their roots to help our understanding of their context in the Bible.  Do they have a context for us today?  What are we planting and growing in our lives?

We are told to appreciate the importance of trees across our planet.   How they are essential to the earth's survival.  Even consider being a 'tree-hugger'.

People climb trees, build with their wood, burn it on a fire for cooking and warmth and there are lots more uses. 

Over 30 different types of trees are referred to in the Bible,  some literal and some figuratively.

In this new series for Sunday mornings we will look at some of these  'trees'.  See what we can learn and how they can apply and help us as Christians in the 21st century.
