We Are Oaks Sample

Life can be destabilizing as so many people try to make things work within their lives, in the midst of a pandemic and in environments that are tense, confronting, or threatening. How do we settle and find planting in destabilizing times? Culture can be holistically impacting so we must look for a sense of stability, but where do we find this? Oak trees demonstrate a sense of stability. The prophet Isaiah speaks of the followers of God as oaks. The Temple had been destroyed and the circumstances were more dire than those we face today – the people of God dispersed across an entire empire, yet there was hope in God. Jesus declares the same scripture and the start of a new era; He brought the fulfillment of the promise after hundreds of years. Jesus is the stability for which we long.
