Dear Church Family,
In ancient Israel grapes were a major agricultural product, both for eating and for wine making. Throughout biblical history the vineyard was part of everyday life for many in Israel. So, it’s not surprising to see it used in our readings today by a psalmist, by Jesus, and by the Prophet Isaiah to convey complicated ideas regarding the relationship between God and the Hebrew people.
Please listen to learn why being wild grapes is not necessarily a good thing.
Blessings,
Pastor Rick
