About this episode

This sermon explores the almond tree as a sign of God's attentiveness and the faith to recognize His work before it becomes obvious.

When God calls Jeremiah to be a prophet, the first question is surprisingly simple: "What do you see?" Jeremiah sees an almond branch, the earliest tree to bloom at the edge of winter. God responds, "You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it." In this sermon from Eshel: Preaching the Trees, we explore the almond tree as a sign of God's attentiveness. Long before the landscape appears changed, the almond blossoms announce that something new is already beginning. This message reflects on spiritual attentiveness, calling, and the faith to recognize God's work before it becomes obvious. The God of Scripture is never absent or asleep. Even in seasons that seem quiet, God is watching, speaking, and bringing new life. Part of the Eshel: Preaching the Trees series. Sermon by Rev. Amos J. Disasa.
