The Maturing Tree: Adulthood and Weathering the Storms

5/17/2026 - Ascension Sunday, 50-Year Member Celebration, Confirmation, Graduate Recognition, and Baptism. Rev. Daniel Bogre will continue the sermon series, “The Unfolding Journey: From Seed to Shade,” with the sermon, “The Maturing Tree: Adulthood and Weathering the Storms,” based on Romans 5:1-5.

Paul writes, “God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.”

As we mature, we find that the trials and responsibilities of adulthood actually deepen our faith and strengthen our roots.

Just as a tree is tested by the wind, our faith is often fortified through adversity.

By bearing fruit through service and daily faithfulness, we develop a resilience that allows our spirit to ripen.

Let us grow mature together, like a steadfast forest.
