our theme for 2024-2025 school year
In Jeremiah chapter 17, God speaks through the prophet Jeremiah, declaring that those who turn away from Him to pursue idols, rely on human strength, and seek help from others are like shrubs in the desert. Such individuals will not see prosperity and will experience a cursed life due to their choices.
However, in verses 7-8, in contract, he shifts his metaphor to those who trust in the Lord:
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” -Jeremiah 17:7-8
As we prepare for another year of Christ-centered education at Faith Christian School, we hold fast to our mission to lovingly train students to be disciples of Jesus Christ for a life of influence. We recognize that, like all of us, our students are formed by where they place their trust. Our prayer is that, rather than conforming to the ways of the world or trusting on their own desires or peers, they will be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit into young men and women who flourish by trusting in God. In doing so, may they become like a tree that is healthy, strong, and firmly rooted.
