Buds, Blossoms, and Almonds: The Touch of God, Regardless of the Season!

Looking for a Summer Bible Study? If you're in the area, come join us in July. Here's a glimmer of this year's study. 

The change happened in the dark. No one saw it take place, not even Moses. In the morning, however, the irrefutable evidence of God’s touch was clear to all. “Aaron’s staff, which represented the tribe of Levi, had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds” (Numbers 17:8). 

A branch cut from its life-giving source is dead. It cannot sprout buds, it cannot produce flowers, and it cannot bear fruit. Yet the dry, withered staff of Aaron burst forth green and pinky-white with life because of the touch of God.
 
Just as God touched the dead staff of Aaron, so He touches our lives, and His touch brings forth the buds, blossoms, and almonds each day. Our Almighty God is not confined to any one season.
 
Come join us as we explore the touch of God on the lives of some people in the Bible and cultivate more God-awareness in our own. In His hands, we, too, will “bud, blossom, and produce fruit.”
