In this message, Pastor David Bendett unpacks the biblical truth behind *toil*—the exhausting labor and striving that came as a result of the curse in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:17-19). Through Scripture, we discover that Jesus Christ has redeemed us from this curse (Galatians 3:13), granting us freedom from fear, stress, worry, and endless striving. Instead, God calls us into a life of peace, rest, and joy as we walk with Him and allow His Spirit to lead us. From the blessings of Psalm 128 to the invitation of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, this sermon reminds us that we no longer labor alone—we are co-laborers with Christ (1 Corinthians 3:9). It's time to stop spinning in weariness and start living in Kingdom rest.
In this sermon, Pastor Christopher talks about the creation of woman and clarifies the whole truth about it. He gives us four things we hold onto as believers, and four steps God takes in order to create her. He breaks down Adam's reaction to seeing someone from his own flesh, and the first poetry we see in the book of Genesis. What does it mean for man to be a spiritual head? What ideal do we try to create? What is the Bible's outlook on marriage? Listen to learn more! Thanks for listening.LAKEVIEW MISSIONARY CHURCH810 S.

Send us a textTitle: Cutting the Ropes: Finding Faith When Others Let Go Scripture Focus: Acts 27:30–32Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastThere comes a moment in every believer's journey when we must face the heartbreaking truth: not everyone who starts with us is meant to finish the journey. In today's powerful five-minute devotional, Reverend Ben Cooper takes us deep into Acts 27—a harrowing account of shipwreck, betrayal, and divine survival. As Paul warns, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved,” the soldiers respond by cutting the ropes and letting the lifeboats drift away. It's a decisive moment of faith—and a metaphor for your life.Who in your life has promised to stand by you, only to run when storms hit? This episode explores the pain of abandonment, the courage to let go, and the call to trust God when others flee. Paul's shipwreck isn't just history—it's prophecy for today's fractured world. Reverend Ben boldly connects it to the very first storm in Eden, where humanity chose to listen to a lesser voice over God's truth.Through the gardens of Eden (Genesis 3), Gethsemane (Matthew 26), and the resurrected hope of the empty tomb (John 20), we trace God's unbroken promise: He never leaves the ship, even when the storm rages. Today's devotional will equip you to identify the lifeboats you need to cut—habits, relationships, mindsets—that threaten your spiritual survival.Life Application:Who or what are you still holding onto that God has already told you to release?Are you trusting in lifeboats or in the Savior who walks on water?What ropes must you cut today to fully trust in His plan?This devotional is more than encouragement—it's a call to action. Let this short prayer moment be your spiritual turning point. You may feel broken, but you are not alone. God's rescue is already underway. Let go of fear and step into trust.

Eden is not just someplace else we wish we could be in. Eden is here for you to enter into and be with Him.Genesis 2:7-17; Psalm 33:1-11; Romans 6:19-23; Mark 8:1-97th Seventh Sunday after Trinity
What if heaven isn't just a place far away, but a promise breaking into your life today? In this inspiring message, we trace God's redemptive plan from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8-17) to the New Jerusalem, revealing how Jesus has defeated our last enemy—death—and is making all things new. Discover how heaven is more than golden streets; it's a return to our true home, a reunion with God, and the restoration of all that was broken. Just like keeping your fork because dessert is coming, we're called to live with expectant hope—because the best is truly yet to come. Let this message shift your focus from temporary troubles to eternal truths.
Edenic Covenant G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 2 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Genesis 1v27-31 So God created human beings in his own image.In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." Then God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground-everything that has life." And that is what happened. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. Genesis 2v15-17. The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, "You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden- except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die." Irenaeus, one of the Church Fathers, said this about humanity being made in the image of God: "The image was the human's natural resemblance to God, the power of reason and will. The likeness was a divine gift added to basic human nature. This likeness consisted of the moral qualities of God, whereas the image involved the natural attributes of God." Origen, another of the Church Fathers, goes further and commenting on Genesis 1v26-27, says "In v26, while the word ‘image' is repeated in v27, the word ‘likeness' is not. This indicates that in his first creation man received the dignity of the image of God, but fulfilment of the likeness is reserved for the final consummation, that is, the he himself should obtain it by his own effort, through the imitation of God. The possibility of perfection given to him at the beginning by the dignity of the image, and then in the end, through the fulfilment of his works, should bring to perfect consummation the likeness of God." God spoke with His creation and gave what is the first covenant between God and humanity. Humanity is commanded in this Edenic Covenant to: Populate the earth (Genesis 1v28) Subjugate the earth (Genesis 1v28) Exercise dominion over animals (Genesis 1v28) Tend and enjoy the garden of Eden (Genesis 1v29; 2v15) Refrain from eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2v16-17). So in essence, humanity, being the pinnacle of God's creation, was to populate the planet, enjoy all of creation and to exercise concern and care over it: the environment, animals, plants etc. One thing they were not to do was to eat "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Yet some time after they did do just that! When they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the Edenic Covenant was terminated, because they had broken their side of the Covenant. The consequence of this resulted in their spiritual and physical deaths. This failure, required God to make a new covenant with Adam and we will look at that next time!

Leviticus "Longing for Eden: Genesis, the narrative context" Part 1 Rob Webster 62925 by Evangelical Fellowship Church
One of life's most challenging truths is unfairness. You've heard someone say, “It's not fair!” in response to a disappointment. Maybe you've said it yourself. This frustration is natural because fairness aligns with how we think things should work. However, the reality is that life hasn't been fair since Adam disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8-14). Adam's fall unleashed sin and death into a world God originally designed to be perfect (Genesis 2:7-9). Ever since unfairness has been woven into the fabric of life (Romans 5:12).

Brian Watson preached this sermon on April 13, 2025.
Numerous spiritual traditions speak about the miraculous power of Kundalini, the transformative energy and intelligence of the Divine Mother. However, much propaganda abounds regarding its requirements, effects, manifestation, and evolution within the individual. What people don't realize is that the widespread psychological imbalances, confusion, and dangers attributed to Kundalini is actually its opposite: Kundabuffer, symbolized by the tempting serpent of Eden (Genesis 3:1), the fiery serpents that afflicted the Israelites in their desert sojourn (Numbers 21:6), and the inverted tail that characterizes demons (Revelations 12:4). Kundalini is different: the brazen serpent of Moses that redeems and heals (Numbers 21:8-9); the prudence, serpentine wisdom, and dove-like harmlessness that guides authentic initiates (Matthew 10:16); the sacred power that uplifts the Son of Man (John 3:14) and the Pentecostal tongues of fire or Holy Spirit that descends upon the inspired apostles (Acts 2:3). The way to know and experience the difference depends on a person's ethics, purity, and cooperation within a perfect matrimony, not expensive workshops, fees, or blessings from a “guru.” By fulfilling spiritual laws through the qualifications of the heart, it becomes possible to work with the real power of divinity, the sexual force that allows one to be truly born again (John 3:5).

We used to sin before we were born again due to our fallen sinful nature. We were originally created in the image of God but our spirits fell when we obeyed Satan instead of God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:6). For the born again Christian who made the decision for Christ, God has replaced the fallen spirit with a new regenerated one. God continues to transform the new believer's heart based on the will of the person. Throughout the ongoing transformative experience, the mind of the believer still has the free will choice to obey or disobey God's commandments.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 1:8-9, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 6:1-6Support the show

On November 22, 1963, US president John F. Kennedy, philosopher and writer Aldous Huxley, and Christian apologist C. S. Lewis all died. Three well-known men with radically different worldviews. Huxley, agnostic, still dabbled in Eastern mysticism. Kennedy held to a humanistic philosophy. And Lewis was a former atheist who became an outspoken believer in Jesus. Death is no respecter of persons as all three of these well-known men faced their appointment with death on the same day. The Bible says that death entered the human experience when Adam and Eve disobeyed in the garden on Eden (Genesis 3)—a sad reality that has marked human history. Death is the great equalizer or, as one person put it, the appointment that no one can avoid. This is the point of Hebrews 9:27, where we read, “People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” Where do we find hope about our own appointment with death and what follows? In Jesus. Romans 6:23 captures this truth perfectly, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” How did this gift of God become available? Jesus, the Son of God, died to destroy death and rose from the grave to offer us life forever (2 Timothy 1:10).

What Happens When A Society Rejects God?Grace Christian Fellowship Mikey Brannon October 13, 2024 [Gen 4:16 ESV] 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. • Went away from the presence of the Lord.o 4:6-7 Cain is filled with rage against his brother, but is gracious to him and gives him an opportunity to repent.o How sin is conceived (like a baby) in Gen 4:6-7, James 1:14-15o God uses vivid language to describe his sin (4:7) “crouching desire”. (ref. 1 Peter 5:8)o Cain's biggest issue Cain conceived the sin of murder in his heart His desire for sin was greater than his desire for God While cain was religious, fundamentally he was a non-believer!• Knows God personally• Talks with God• Still does not trust God's words Cain is the first cursed person. (4:11-12) The result of the curse is that Cain is forced to become a wanderer, a nomad, a homeless vagabond. Notice Cain willingly gives up religion and relationship with God, in order to rid himself of the precepts that come along with it. This is the choice of the sinner.o “East of Eden” – Genesis language shows that as one moves Eastward they are moving further from the presence of God.o “Land of Nod” Nod means wanderer, exile, or fugitive. [Gen 4:17 ESV] 17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. • Even this vile sinner found a wife to marry. Cain obviously married one of his sisters. Together they have a son named Enoch.• “Built a City” - It is not what we expect the vagabond to do, establish a city. It is as if he says, I'll show you God, I'll settle my on place and I don't need you to help. But even the name of the city suggest it is futile.• The Hebrew verb tense suggests that Cain didn't just build a city, but that he was continually building a city. Essentially we can picture Cain endlessly working to buid this city, but never finishing it, until he eventually turns it over to his son to whom it is named Enoch.• This city that Cain would build would be common a city of apostasy and of the inhabatens present and future would be rejecters of God, and they will eventually be drowned.[Gen 4:18 ESV] 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. • Our sin doesn't just affect us but it affects others around us, and even future generations.• In Chapter 5 and 6 we get 2 genealogies here in our text we have a genealogy of Cain, and in the next chapter we have the genealogy of Seth. More on that later.• This geneology traces Cain to one of his descendants Lamech. Lamech is the arch type evil representative of what has come from Cain's apostasy.• Enoch means “dedicated”. Cain running from the curse God has placed on him attempts to build a city and he names his Son and his city “dedicated”. He dedicates his son to his city. As if his son may finally be able to stop running and wandering.• Talk about how sinners try to find comfort somewhere other than God.• Enoch is cains big dillusion.• Our kids are not fooled by our dillusions are they, its very interesting what Enoch names his son, Irad, which can be loosely translated city dweller• Then you have Mejujael and Methusahael, which scholars say means something like, God Blots out and violence to God• Do you see the direction from cain to -> city dweller-> outright violence to God this is trendline of the society.[Gen 4:19 ESV] 19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. • The apostate generation culminates with a picture of a man named Lamech (conquerer).• Instantly we encounter an issue with Lamech. He has 2 wives.• We know that God has already established marriage as a union between 1 man and 1 woman. Any other version of this union is a sinful corruption. (Gen. 2:24)• Some people encounter polygamy in the OT and they say see the Bible is wrong it condones things like that. Or that the Bible is inconsistent on its view on marriage. Not true.• Whenever polygamy is shown in the OT it always results in hurt and devastation. (Abraham)• As we can see here in our example text the Bible doesn't come out and make a moral statement about polygamy here. Because it doesn't need to. That is the entire point of this geneology. [Gen 4:20 ESV] 20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. • The “bal” brothers: Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal• Stem bal means to produce• Society was a great at producing things• We have world leading agriculture, invention of music, of musical instruments, iron working, bronze instruments of all kinds• Jabal was a shepherd who likely tended sheep. People in the city need someone else to produce meat and garments, so what we see here is the first glimmering of the agricultural industry.• Discussion about how long they lived in this society Adam lived 930 years. In fact did you ever realize Adam almost lived long enough to see the birth of Noah. Cain lived 730 years.[Gen 4:21 ESV] 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. • Jubal, invented music, and the first instruments. Can you imagine what an accomplishment, Chris Karpus level stuff here. They had likely had figured out things like scales, and chords, and how to construct various instruments to create harmonies.• Now many of us in this room are musicians. How many of you feel like you have enough time to practice your instrument? How many of you feel like you have mastered it and there is nothing else to learn? Imagine if you had 700 years to work on it. Do you think you would be pretty good?[Gen 4:22 ESV] 22 Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. • Tubal-cain in a similar way had perfected the art of metal working. He is the father of blacksmithing and was the master of the craft. In a similar way having so much time on the earth to master the craft.• These 3 sons were epic leaders of a godless city.• Application: I wonder what outsiders would have said about the city of Nod as they passed by. Great city! Technological leaders, Innovative, Wealthy, luxurious? Does this sound like a cursed city to you?• A society without God is striving to find satisfaction in something else, but they will ever find is emptiness.• This is a society who works and works for the one thing they will never have, rest. Sabbath. Because they have rejected the ultimate rest. (Matthew 12:8)[Gen 4:23 ESV] 23 Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me. • Lamech becomes the poster boy for how far from God this society has come. • Brags to his wives about his murderous rampageo Notice how he speaks to his wives. How far has this Godless society gotten from what Adam first spoke, “bone of my bone flesh of my flesh”o Murder of mano Murder of a childo In both instances Lamech brags about his brutality o What we can observe here in this society that is far from God there is no longer an appreciation for human life.o Why is murder such a heinous crime in the first place?o Gen. 1:27, Gen.9:6o So what we see in a society that is far from God, there is a loss of appreciation for human lifeo Another way to say this is that the value you we place on one another comes from the value that we place in God.o Another way to say this is, Love God, Love People[Gen 4:24 ESV] 24 If Cain's revenge is sevenfold, then Lamech's is seventy-sevenfold." • The reference here is back to verse 4:15.• Remember God had promised Cain protection of his life. Word got around.• In hindsight now that we have studied this passage I think God allowed Cain to live just so that the fullness of his wickedness would play out. It would have been to easy for him to die. So Cain spends hundreds of years trying to outrun the curse, only to die in his futile attempts. It is a much more worthy punishment.• Lamech makes a mockery of God's curse. He is vile, and wicked, he even brags about his wickedness. This city is lost indeed.• What a terrible story if it ended here![Gen 4:25 ESV] 25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him." • Able the presumed line of redemption is dead. Cain is unfit and cursed. The last time things looked this dark were after the fall.• We think back to the promise (Gen. 3:14). And in God's graciousness we find hope. This verse gives us hope.• Adam and Eve have another son who can help fulfill the promise of Genesis 3:14, Seth.• Seth is not the one to crush the head of the serpant, but we will find out in the next chapter exactly where is line will lead, ultimately to Christ, the ultimate head crusher. Luke 3:38[Gen 4:26 ESV] 26 To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD. • Even in the early days apparently outside of the line of Cain people had begun to stray from God• Enosh marks a period of revival where people began to again call upon the name of the Lord.

Finding Hope: Stillness #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Sacred Art of Being Still "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalm 46:10 (KJV) In our fast-paced world, filled with constant noise and distraction, God extends a profound invitation: to be still and know Him. This stillness is not mere inactivity, but a deliberate posture of heart and mind that allows us to experience God's presence in each moment. Let's explore how we can cultivate this sacred stillness in our daily lives. Reflection The practice of being still before God is a powerful antidote to the anxiety and restlessness that often plague our souls. We are often "crucified between two thieves" - the guilt and regrets of the past, and the fears and worries about the future. Yet God calls us to a different way of living - fully present in each moment, aware of His constant presence. The Psalmist declares, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24, KJV). This verse isn't just about occasional celebration, but a daily practice of recognizing God's handiwork in every moment. When we cultivate this awareness, we begin to see each day, each hour, as crowned with God's presence. God desires to walk with us, much like He did with Adam in the cool of the day in Eden (Genesis 3:8). He wants to teach us to experience fully each blessing and gift He sends our way. From the grandeur of a sunset over the ocean to the quiet beauty of a star-strewn night sky, from the majesty of mountains to the delicate intricacy of a flower - all of creation calls us to pause, to observe, and to stand in awe of our Creator. This practice of stillness and presence is not just about appreciating nature. It's about cultivating a constant awareness of God's presence in every aspect of our lives. It's about learning to lean on Him in quiet trust, moment by moment, regardless of our circumstances. Application 1. Practice Daily Stillness*: Set aside time each day for silent reflection and prayer. Start with just a few minutes and gradually increase the duration. 2. Mindful Observation: Take a "wonder walk" each day. Observe nature closely, looking for signs of God's creativity and care. 3. Present Moment Awareness: When you find your mind drifting to past regrets or future worries, gently bring your focus back to the present moment. Remind yourself of God's presence right here, right now. 4. Gratitude Pauses: Several times throughout the day, pause to thank God for something in your immediate environment or experience. 5. Scripture Meditation: Choose a short verse (like Psalm 46:10) to meditate on throughout the day. Let it remind you to be still and aware of God's presence. Prayer Heavenly Father, in the busyness and noise of our lives, teach us the sacred art of being still. Help us to quiet our hearts and minds, that we might sense Your presence in each moment. Free us from the tyranny of past regrets and future anxieties, and grant us the grace to live fully in the present, where You dwell. Open our eyes to see the daily gifts of Your creation, and open our hearts to receive Your constant love. May our lives be a testimony to Your presence, as we learn to be still and know that You are God. In Jesus' name, Amen. Dig Deeper 1. Read Exodus 14:13-14. How does Moses' instruction to the Israelites relate to the concept of being still and trusting God? 2. Reflect on 1 Kings 19:11-13. What does Elijah's experience teach us about how God often speaks to us? 3. Consider Matthew 6:25-34. How does Jesus' teaching about worry relate to the practice of being present in each moment? 4. Think of a time when you felt especially aware of God's presence. What were the circumstances? How can you cultivate more of those moments in your daily life? 5. In what areas of your life do you find it most challenging to "be still"? How might you invite God's presence into those areas?

Series: Genesis Sermon: Life Outside of Eden - Genesis 4:1-17 Genesis 4 reveals the stark contrast between righteous and sinful behavior outside Eden. This juxtaposition of Abel's accepted offering with Cain's rejected one, followed by Cain's murder of Abel, highlights the deep-seated human struggle with sin and the importance of the heart's condition in worship. Cain's anger at God's rejection of his offering underscores his lack of humility and self-examination. Despite Cain's grievous sin, God's response illustrates His merciful nature by sparing Cain's life and offering protection, despite the absence of Cain's repentance. This message urges us to live humbly, stay vigilant against sin's encroachment, and continually seek God's mercy. Ultimately, it points to the gospel's good news, where God's mercy is fully realized through Jesus Christ's sacrificial atonement, offering redemption to all who trust in Him.
Theme: Even when His chosen people experience hardship in exile, the LORD is fulfilling His promise to redeem them from their woes and make of them a mighty nation.

The Easter Side Of Eden: Genesis 3:21-24 w/ Darren Tyler
Have you ever pondered the weight of a choice? Join us as we discuss the beginnings of human relationships, contemplating the significance of companionship and God's response to Adam's isolation. We navigate through these themes, bringing to light the delicate balance of freedom to choose and the responsibilities that come with it. The story of the creation of woman isn't just about filling a void; it's a testament to the intricate designs of partnership and the fulfillment found in unity. Tune in for a profound exploration of divine intention, the human condition, and the stark truth that amidst perfection, loneliness was the very first thing God stated was 'not good' that called for a remedy, setting the stage for the intertwining of lives from the dawn of time.Support the show
Psalm 1:3 says the blessed man, who meditates day and night in God's Word will "be like a TREE planted by the RIVERS of WATER that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." Our ROOT system is our FAITH in God, which connects us to God's life and grace in His Spirit. The secret of a tree's success is its roots, which are invisible, underground, representing our heart. As we meditate in His Word, our faith-roots becomes stronger, which means that our ability to draw on the waters of the Holy Spirit increases, causing us to thrive, become strong, upright and evergreen, and bear much fruit. That fact that we are planted by the River of Life, means that in Christ, we have continual access to the grace of God in the Holy Spirit. We cannot bear fruit of ourselves - the key is drawing from the life of the River of God. Fruit that glorifies God is produced by the Divine life that flows in and through us (John 15:1-16). We allow God's life to flow by meditating on God's Word (to strengthen our faith) and drawing upon His Spirit by faith. We look at a number of other scriptures that use this same imagery of believers being like fruitful Trees planted by rivers of water (Jeremiah 17:5-8, Isaiah 61:3, 37:31). We see this imagery in the first earthly Temple of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2-3), and the Millennial Temple, in Ezekiel 47:12: “Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the Sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.” Also we see it in the everlasting heavenly Temple, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:1-3). All of these are pictures of us (redeemed mankind), who are God's ultimate Temples. These gardens with trees planted by the river of life are a picture of garden of our soul. Our thoughts, emotions, convictions and commitments are like trees (Proverbs 3:18). If they are formed and filled by the Word and Spirit of God, they are fresh and fruitful, connecting us to His grace. We relate this to recent discoveries that show that our thoughts are imaged by protein structures in the brain. Whereas God's Word forms healthy tree-like structures, evil thoughts of bitterness and hatred manifest as ugly, twisted protein structures. By meditating in the Word, we can renew our mind, so that it becomes a garden full of fruitful trees, all well-watered by the river of life. Since: "as a man thinks in his heart, so he is" (Proverbs 23:7), it follows that the blessed man who is like a flourishing tree (1:3), is a reflection of the state of his heart (the trees growing in his heart). Likewise, the parable of the sower can in interpreted on both levels, for the seed (which is the word of God) can (1) represent the whole spiritual life of a man, or (2) a particular word of God, which grows by meditation in (hearing) the word (watering with the Word), and brings forth fruit. Thus, the measure of a man is determined by His meditation, and all the trees that he allows to grow in his soul determine the kind of man he becomes, that is, how much he becomes like the blessed, strong and fruitful tree described in Psalm 1:3.

Pastor Ben Winnes 2/11/24
Pastor Kelly set out to preach on Genesis 1-3 and came across the research of the Tru316 Foundation. He used The Book of Eden - Genesis 2-3 for part of his research. The result was a balanced and powerful sermon! See the volumes in The Eden Book Series and more at Tru316.com/trubooks The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader?

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” — Revelation 21:5 Some imagery that appears in the beginning of the Bible is contrasted or expanded upon in the final chapters of God's grand story of salvation. The unformed abyss in Genesis 1, for example, is contrasted with the stunning architecture of the heavenly city in Revelation 21. The tree of life in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9; 3:22-24) is multiplied in Revelation 22 and described as constantly bearing fruit and providing healing for the nations. And the image of the Spirit hovering and brooding over the waters is contrasted with the One who is now seated on the throne. Creation will be complete, fully formed and mature, and we will enjoy glorious, delightful friendship with our loving Creator, who invites us to live with him in the perfect unity of love that has always characterized God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The awe-inspiring creation that we live in today will be the foundation for the new creation, and we can look forward to rejoicing along with birds and all other creatures in the new heaven and earth. Not only is Christ seated in the heavenly realms, but we who love and trust him are also raised up with Christ and are seated with him even now (Ephesians 2:6). This means our lives are firmly grounded and maturing in Christ as we enjoy the intimacy of living in communion with God each day while awaiting his coming again. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, may all honor and glory be yours, now and forever! Amen.

2 Chronicles 26:16-23 Power is particularly dangerous when it is controlled by sinful pride. We have the power to do so much. Our power is directed by our will. If our will is guided by self, sin enters in. Think about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). God gave them broad […] The post Pride's Deadly Consequence first appeared on Reflecting God - Embrace Holy Living.
Recently, as I was sitting on the porch enjoying the sunshine, I watched my dad start walking down the driveway. I instantly thought of running to catch up with him and join him as he walked. When I walk with my dad, I get to spend time talking with him and just enjoying his presence..In that moment, a thought hit me—this is what a believer's relationship with God is like! Once we've put our trust in Jesus, we get to walk with our heavenly Father on the journey of life. I find it so beautiful that having a close relationship with God is described as walking with God (Genesis 5:21-24; Hebrews 11:5-6). But when Adam and Eve sinned, they hid from God as He came walking in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8). Sin destroyed the beautiful walk with God we were created to have. But, because of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, God has made the way for us to be adopted as His children (Romans 8:15-16). Our opportunity to walk with God has been restored!.This simple picture is powerful—we don't walk alone. Our God walks with us! We can talk to Him about anything at any time. Like little kids, we can grab God's hand for comfort when things get tough. I am so grateful for the fellowship and special moments I get to spend with my earthly father when I walk with him. And I am more grateful still that he has taught me what it means to walk with my heavenly Father—I know I'll never have to walk alone. • Lily Walsh.• Have you ever imagined God walking with us like a father walks with his child? What do you like or dislike about the idea of God walking with us? .• When Jesus returns, all His people will get to be with God face-to-face and walk with Him in renewed creation (Revelation 21:1-5). How can looking forward to Jesus's return help us understand the kind of relationship God wants to have with us now? .• Are there any dads or father figures in your life who've shown God's love to you? Consider taking a moment to thank God for them, and maybe thank the person/people too! .He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 (NIV)
He himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility. . . . — Ephesians 2:14 The Hebrew word for peace is shalom. This rich word means much more than the absence of conflict, war, or strife and a lack of tension or animosity. It points to full flourishing for all people and creation, in which life is exactly as it should be. Prior to their fall into sin, our first parents enjoyed shalom in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2). They fully enjoyed their walks with God in the cool of the day, they enjoyed each other's company fully, and their work and world were beautiful. As believers who have been restored to a right relationship with God through the sacrifice of Jesus, we now have a taste—at least to some degree—of what Adam and Eve enjoyed before sin entered their lives. Likewise, in the church and outside of it, we also have a glimpse of the peace that awaits us in God's presence. Sometimes this taste of shalom is strong, and sometimes it is weak, but it is always there. We have also been tasked with bringing others to a renewed sense of peace. One way of approaching this is to ask, “How can I make life on earth seem a little more like heaven (or God's kingdom) for someone else?” Can you think of a way to bring peace into the lives of others today? Heavenly Father, we thank you for the peace that we have with you through Jesus, and for guiding us to grow in peace with others. Help us to be agents of peace in this broken world. In Jesus' name, Amen.
