Pressed Like an Olive

Pressed Like an Olive

Olives are sprinkled throughout Scripture. Israel, and more specifically the area around Galilee, is rich with groves of olive trees and hence olive-related products. Oils for food, oil for soaps, oils for lamps—the people of Jesus’ time knew how to maximize the production of the fruit, pressing multiple times to extract as much moisture as they could. However, not every press of the olive is valued equally. Why? Join us for worship on Saturday, May 6, as Pastor Chad Stuart talks about pressing olives, and why the lessons learned have critical implications for the mission of the church even today.
