In this Advent Special, we explore The Tale of Three Trees—a beloved folktale of dreams, waiting, and God’s surprising plans. Each tree had a hope: one wished to hold treasure, another to sail for kings, and the third to grow tall and point others to God.

But God’s ways were far greater than their imaginations, showing that even ordinary trees can play a part in His extraordinary story of salvation.

We’ll talk about:
• How God works in unexpected ways
• The importance of waiting and trusting His timing
• How ordinary things can be used for extraordinary purposes
• Finding value and purpose through Christ’s presence

This story reminds us: our dreams and plans may change, but God’s work in our lives is never wasted—and His presence gives true meaning and worth.

Scripture: Luke 2:1–20; Mark 4:35–41; Matthew 27:32–56; John 19:17–30
