S2 E8 Do We Destroy… or Nurture? (with Bill)
Bonus Content • 21m
Bill looks at free will, the choices we make that become our destiny, the legacy we leave behind. What we do or don’t do has consequences. What impact do our actions have for our life and those around us – destroy or nurture? Today we look at the story of a barren fig tree, the gardener, and the landowner. The landowner wants the barren fig tree cut down - the gardener suggests giving it one more year, one more chance. What happens? Do we make informed choices or do not? What does it mean to have freedom? What does it mean that our choices inform our destiny and the destiny of others – the legacy of our actions?
Together we’ll share and reflect on scripture from Luke 13:1-9, pray, and join in the song singing Our People are Dying, a reflective ballad Bill wrote in August 2020. Come join the journey and see what God has planned.
