So often we are trapped by our own imaginations.

If God gives growth and growth means change, the implications are broad.

Preaching epiphanies
The story of Jesus, at least the way John tells it, begins unspectacularly. “There was a man sent by God, and his name was John.” What does John do for a living? He is a preacher. We can’t get to Jesus without going through a witness, no epiphany without preaching.

And then very directly, “Choose life so that you and your descendants may live.”
