Abraham makes peace with a rival king, and the story ends with an unexpected act: he plants a tamarisk tree. The tamarisk is slow growing. Abraham will never live to see it reach maturity. Yet he plants it anyway. In the opening sermon of Eshel: Preaching the Trees, we explore the Hebrew word eshel, a word associated with eating, drinking, and lodging. A tree as an inn. A place of welcome. A sign of covenant. This sermon reflects on hospitality, reconciliation, and the kind of faithfulness that invests in a future beyond our own lifetime. Some acts of faith are not measured by immediate results, but by what they make possible for those who come after us. Part of the Eshel: Preaching the Trees series. Sermon by Rev. Amos Disasa.
