Prayer Promise

The Trees' Sermon

Prescott Khair

There’s something beautiful about October here in Berrien Springs. Before the winter grey sets in, the colors of campus glow and the familiar crispness of fall returns. Life at the University has found its mid-semester rhythm. The rush of new beginnings has quieted, yet the year ahead still stretches wide with unknowns.

For our Pioneer Memorial Church community, our students, faculty, staff, and neighbors alike, October is a season of transition. Classes intensify, daylight shortens, and the pace of life increases “in between” seasons and holidays. It often feels relentless. But even in those moments God invites us to notice the sacredness of change.

When the Israelites trusted in God for their needs and were faithful to Him, He always came through. Imagine clothes and sandals that did not wear out over 40 years of use! Now that is the miracle of God. That is a testimony of His love and care of His children.
