Tonight’s featured plant is purslane, an unwanted “weed” that grows in sidewalk cracks and garden beds and survives droughts, trampling, and poor soil. Despite being despised, God designed it to be a functional, nutritional powerhouse that dramatically outclasses standard grocery store vegetables!
Isaiah 53:2-3 says of Jesus, “… He had no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He was despised and rejected by men…”. And 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 says, “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are…”. God consistently bypasses elite worldly standards to pour His greatest power into the humble and overlooked. Have you ever felt despised, overlooked, or unwanted? Join us tonight as we learn the health benefits of purslane, connect it to scripture, and pray with and for each other.
We meet from 6-7 pm in the community building behind the church each Wednesday.
