Root your faith in godly wisdom when your decisions matter the most, Every tree, bush, or vine in the Bible is deeply embedded in on ancient symbol-driven world where imagery of the story didn't just matter-it had meaning. The Sticks Bible study will guide you through five parts of the Bible where trees point us to how we can seek godly wisdom and make hard choices that honor God. In Sticks, we're going to explore, Genesis 2-3, where the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil show us how to choose wisely and not take matters into our own hands; Exodus 3, where the Burning Bush helps us choose to notice when God is trying to get our attention; Isaiah 1, 6, 11, and 53, where the Messiah Tree helps us choose to branch out from our shady family trees; John 15, where the True Vine, Jesus, teaches us how to choose to stay connected to him for a fruitful life; and Revelation 22, where the Tree of Life helps us choose, to reframe our views from the treetops.
