In “Tree of Life”, Peter Burrows takes listeners on a journey from Eden to Calvary, revealing how God’s plan for restoration began in Genesis and was fulfilled through the cross. Drawing from Genesis 2–3, Galatians 5, and other key passages, Burrows shows how sin separated humanity from God — but through Jesus, the Tree of Life was made available again.The sermon traces three key trees: the Tree of Life in Eden (life lost), the Tree of Knowledge (sin and separation), and the Cross (life restored). Through Christ’s obedience, surrender, and victory, believers are invited into new life and eternal fellowship with God. The message closes with a call to personal surrender at the foot of the cross, embracing transformation by the Holy Spirit’s fruits — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Paul reminds us that we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to live out our new identity with grace and integrity.This passage moves from the general to the specific: speak truthfully, deal with anger before it festers, forgive freely, and show compassion — just as God has shown compassion to us.Our obedience does not make us holy; it reflects the holy status we already have in Christ. Drawing on Philippians 2, Romans 8, and Luke 15, Pastor Cathal reminds us that sanctification takes time — but we are dearly loved children, called to imitate God and walk in love as Christ did.He took our place on the cross, demonstrating the fullness of God’s grace and truth.

Just as Jeremiah exchanged his prison garments for new clothes, we are clothed in righteousness and called to walk in holiness. Our obedience does not make us holy—it honours God—as we continually return to Jesus, learning Him and becoming more like Him. Learning Christ is a message of daily renewal and transformation, reminding us that through the Spirit, we are being shaped into His likeness.
