The Tree of Life

May 18, 2025

Jarod Smith, Lead Pastor

In this series on Freedom, Pastor Jarod shares a message about the Tree of Life. Drawing from Genesis 2, he explores why God placed two trees in the middle of the garden and how true love requires the freedom to choose. The message highlights that God’s commands are not about control but relationship—and that real freedom is found not in autonomy, but in walking with God. Through the stories of Adam and Peter, we see how God meets us with questions, not condemnation, and how the cross—referred to in Scripture as a tree—becomes the place where freedom is fully restored. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch
