Today's sermon was a reflection on ethics and trees - a walk between the book ends of the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, and the tree of life in Revelations; including mention (based on the birth pangs of creation in Romans) that human relationship, and the lack thereof, hold trees in bondage to sin.
