Don't Miss The Forest For The Tree | Hope from the Tree Stump

Christmas draws our attention to familiar traditions. Everybody has their favorites. It’s hard not to focus on the trappings, the toys, the tinsel and of course, the tree. But don’t miss the forest for the trees! Christmas is so familiar we run the risk of missing the point. Let’s step back from the Christmas tree and see the bigger picture of what it’s all about. Beyond the decorations and gifts in front of us, there is a much bigger story to notice — a vast forest of wonder and meaning for everyone.
Getting a grasp of the deeper meaning of Christmas will help us tackle some of life’s BIGGEST questions. It turns out Christmas has a lot to do with trees. But not in the way you think. Don’t miss the forest for the tree.

Global Impact Celebration Weekend

When God created the world He wanted His glory on display. He created us in His image to show His glory to a lost and desperate world. Have you ever wondered about your part in all of this…what were YOU made for? This is what we will discover during our Glocal Impact Celebration (GIC) November 17–24. We will consider the Great Commission and the Greatest Commandment. We will find that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength; we are to make disciples of the people all around us; we are to love them as we love ourselves. As a follower of Jesus…you were made for this!

What if we allowed God’s dreams to inspire us and fuel our purpose? What if God’s dreams became our own? It’s time to Dare to Dream.
