What does your profession have to do with Eden, glory, and eternity? In this episode of The Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael Blue unpacks an often-overlooked truth from Genesis: before humanity fell, we were clothed in glory; and after the fall, God mercifully provided coats of skin. Through Scripture, typology, and profound biblical insight, this episode reframes medicine, mental health, skilled trades, counseling, service work, and every vocation as God's provision for humanity in the "meanwhile"—the space between glory lost and glory restored. From Eden to Exodus, from the Tabernacle to Christ, this episode reveals how God uses human skill, labor, and compassion as temporary coverings, expressions of grace, until the full restoration of glory in Christ. If you've ever questioned whether what you do truly matters to God, this episode will re-anchor your calling, dignify your labor, and renew your purpose. New podcast episodes are available every Monday wherever you listen to podcasts.
In this Christmas message, we unpack the line “He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found.” From Eden to Bethlehem, Calvary to the New Creation, we see how Jesus breaks the curse of sin and brings restoration to every corner of creation. This sermon will deepen your understanding of the gospel story and renew your hope as we look toward Christ's return.

Welcome back for another Christmas episode of the Significant Women Podcast with Carol McLeod! On today's show Carol dives further into the Christmas story, exploring the role of John, Elizabeth, and the great joy of the season found in Christ's coming.Key TakeawaysJesus has always been God's plan. From Eden to Abraham, from David to Daniel, God's rescue plan for humanity has always been Jesus.John the Baptist responded to Jesus even in the womb. When Mary visited Elizabeth, baby John leapt for joy—not at Mary's presence, but at the presence of Jesus.Joy is found only in the presence of the Lord. Happiness comes from circumstances, but heaven's joy comes from being near Jesus.The “John jump” is the natural response to Jesus. When Jesus enters our lives, the appropriate reaction is exuberant joy—because joy is the atmosphere of heaven.We often look for joy in the wrong places. Gifts, gatherings, busyness, and traditions may bring happiness, but only Jesus offers true joy.Christmas calls us back to His presence. Prayer, worship, and Scripture immerse us in the joy Jesus brought to earth.Everyone can experience joy—regardless of life's pain. Joy is not dependent on circumstances. Even in hardship, Jesus brings the joy of heaven to earth.The Christmas story is a story of God's love and plan. It is not about cultural trimmings, but about God sending Jesus to bring salvation, hope, and joy.

Welcome to Day 2751 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – From Eden to New Jerusalem: The Pattern of Ascent, Fall, and Redemption Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2751 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2751 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled From Eden to New Jerusalem: The Pattern of Ascent, Fall, and Redemption. Throughout Scripture, a pattern emerges—one that contrasts the fall of those who grasp at divinity with the exaltation of those who receive it by grace through believing loyalty. From Eden to Hermon, Babel, and ultimately to the New Jerusalem, the Bible traces the path of human ambition, divine descent, and final restoration. The first segment is: Eden: Seizing Divinity, Ending in Death In the beginning, Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, placed in sacred space, and destined to reign with Him. Yet they were not content to reflect His glory. Tempted by the serpent, they reached for equality with God on their own terms: “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis three verse 5 By attempting to grasp what had not been offered, they fell. Cast out of the garden, barred from the Tree of Life, and sentenced to die, their descent began not just physically but spiritually. They traded divine fellowship for exile and mortality. The second segment is: Hermon: Divine Rebellion and the Corruption of Mankind The next great rebellion came not from humans alone, but from the spiritual realm. According to 1 Enoch 6, the sons of God descended upon Mount Hermon and made a pact to defy God by taking human wives and producing the Nephilim. Their actions unleashed chaos and violence across the earth. This attempt to force a merger of heaven and earth on their own terms brought catastrophic consequences. God judged the Watchers, bound them in the Abyss, and destroyed their offspring in the Flood. Yet their spirits—demons—remained to corrupt mankind. The descent from Hermon marked not exaltation but divine exile, and it echoes the same pattern: those who attempt to seize divine authority fall into judgment. The third segment is: Babel: Ascending in Pride, Scattered in Judgment The next great act of rebellion came at Babel. Humanity, unified in language and purpose, sought to reach the heavens: “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves…” Genesis Eleven verse 4 Though the text says they were “one people,” this unity was likely driven by demonic influence—a renewed attempt to reopen the spiritual gateway severed at the Flood. Some modern theological reconstructions suggest the builders, influenced by demonic forces, may have sought to create a gateway that would allow the imprisoned Watchers to rise again and make war on Heaven itself. But the plan was doomed. God had already sentenced the Watchers to the Abyss, and no human or spiritual force could overturn that...

The message was delivered on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. Description: What if the Divine made mistakes? From Eden's miscalculation to Noah's devastating flood, journey through a startling reimagining of ancient stories where an all-powerful creator grapples with the messy consequences of wielding absolute authority. Watch as cosmic power confronts its own limitations through Job's unanswerable questions and Abraham's bold negotiations, leading to a revelation that challenges everything: some truths can only be learned by becoming mortal. The answer to divinity's greatest limitation arrives not in thunder from above, but in the vulnerability of a newborn child—and it changes where we must look to find the sacred.

From Eden's first prophecy to Jesus our Rescuer, God meets us in shame and hiding with mercy for today and certainty for tomorrow. If you're waiting in the dark, hear this: God is faithful—even when He feels slow, He's never late. We have a reason to hope and His name is Jesus.
Every rebellion repeats the first one. From Eden to Babel, the cycle is fracture, exile,…
Sin is never silent. It separates, blinds, deceives, and destroys—but it never stays hidden from God. From Eden to David's palace to our own hearts, Scripture reveals a sobering truth: be sure your sin will find you out (Numbers 32:23). Yet in the very places where sin is exposed, grace waits to restore. In today's episode, we uncover what sin really does, why hiding never works, and how God lovingly confronts us not to condemn us—but to cleanse and reclaim us.
We're jumping back into Relationships in HD with a foundation talk on connectedness—how a living relationship with God reorders everything: marriage, parenting, friendship, and our witness to a hurting world. Eric unpacks why Jesus at the center isn't a slogan but a way of life: husbands loving like Christ (Eph. 5), wives honoring, parents reflecting the Father's heart, and believers resisting a culture of condemnation by pointing people to the Savior who saves rather than shames (John 3:16–18). From Eden's breach and God's covering (Gen. 3) to the cross where love is proven (Rom. 5:6–8) and the promise that nothing can separate us (Rom. 8:31–39), this message calls us to walk in the light through ongoing repentance (1 John 1:5–9) and to let grace flow through us, not just to us. If your relationships need tools to cultivate, mend, or even restore, start here—on the sure foundation of the gospel. Key Scriptures (NKJV): John 3:16–18; John 1:12; John 10:27–30; Genesis 3:8–10, 21; Ephesians 5:25, 33; Romans 5:6–8; Romans 8:31–39; 1 John 1:5–9. Highlights: Connectedness: why our bond with God sets the tone for every other relationship. Jesus at the center of marriage and parenting—what that actually looks like day to day. Gospel posture: not condemning, but inviting people to the One who removes condemnation. Assurance that holds: the Son's hand, the Father's hand, the Spirit's seal. Walking in the light: repentance as a lifestyle that keeps fellowship fresh. Practical tools to cultivate, mend, or restore relationships with Scripture as the guide. Next Steps: Personalize John 3:16 in prayer this week (“For God so loved me…”). Ask the Lord where condemnation has replaced compassion, repent, and take one concrete step of grace—beginning at home. Invite a couple or friend who's struggling to listen and talk with you after.

Jesus' call in Matthew 28 wasn't a brand new mission; it was the original mission. From Eden to today, God has called His people to multiply, fill the earth, and spread His reign everywhere. This week, we'll uncover the Great Commission's ancient roots and fix our eyes on places where the gospel has yet to be heard. Let's not miss God's great calling for our lives!

Matt Mouzakis returns to the podcast to wrestle with one of the most debated questions in the church: What does Scripture really say about women in ministry? From Genesis to Paul's letters, we unpack how mistranslations, cultural assumptions, and bad theology have sidelined half the Body of Christ for centuries. Was Eve really just Adam's “rib”? Did Paul command women to stay silent in church forever…or was he correcting a local crisis in Ephesus? And what does “headship” actually mean when Paul calls Christ the head of the church? Many of us were taught to see “male headship” as God's design. But what if that's really just the fallout of the Fall? And what if Jesus' Kingdom has already undone that curse? Spoiler: the resurrection was first preached by women, and that wasn't an accident.
Join Greg & Nathan as they continue their discussion in their series the Imago Dei. What if bearing God's image isn't just about who we are—but also about what we're called to do? In this third episode of The Imago Dei series, Greg and Nathan dive into the priestly role of humanity, asking: What does it mean that part of bearing God's image is being a priest? Drawing from key Scriptures like 1 Peter 2:9, Genesis 2:15, and Exodus 19:5–6, they explore how every believer is invited to draw near to God—and to help others do the same. From Eden to the cross, from sacred temples to ordinary lives, the priestly calling runs deep: to intercede, to steward sacred space, and to carry God's presence into a broken world. In this episode, they discuss: The surprising priestly parallels in the Garden of Eden How Old Testament priests shape our understanding of spiritual life today Why prayer is more than a quiet moment—it's priestly work What it means to be part of a royal priesthood in Christ How Jesus, our Great High Priest, redefines our identity and mission And how living as priests impacts everything from our parenting to our pain Whether you're in ministry or the marketplace, a seasoned believer or exploring faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to see your life as sacred—and your presence as a vessel of God's mercy.
You didn't do it—so why are you bleeding for it? This message exposes the trap of sharing other people's disobedience in the name of “love” or “loyalty.” From Eden to your bank account, ET breaks down why Adam wasn't deceived—but still joined in—and how that same pattern wrecks our finances, families, and faith today. You'll learn a simple two-step standard: Don't share sin. Quarantine the virus. If you've been carrying consequences that aren't yours, this is your exit ramp. What you'll learn - The difference between support and sabotage (aka enabling) - A boundary rule that protects your marriage & money (the “toothbrush/credit” analogy) - The COVID framework: how to quarantine spiritual viruses before they spread. Scriptures that set the standard (Gen 3:6; 1 Tim 5:22; Prov 1:10,15; 2 Cor 6:14–17) If this hit home, name one boundary you're setting this week. I'm praying over every boundary in this thread.
THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-31| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA The Guarantee That Changed Everything. Before redemption, humanity stood bankrupt—spiritually starved, relationally fractured, and locked out of divine communion. But God, in His kindness, issued a guarantee. Not a vague promise, but a written assurance backed by His integrity and sealed in Christ. This episode explores the mystery and majesty of that guarantee through Ruth 1:8 and Genesis 1:26–29. It's not just about restoration—it's about access, enjoyment, and identity. Highlights & Key Notes: - What Is a Guarantee? It's more than a promise—it's a declaration of intent, a covenant of kindness. God's guarantee is not just to give, but to let us enjoy (John 10:10). - From Eden to Eternity In Eden, every tree was available except one—the tree of “self.” To taste God's kindness is to feast on everything He's provided, without reaching for what was never meant to nourish us. - Creation vs. New Creation Both bear the mark of YAHWEH. Both are rooted in relationship, not religion. Favor isn't earned—it's chosen. And God's choice is final, regardless of what men or the devil deem fair (Genesis 3:21; Romans 5:8; John 3:16). - Image and Likeness Likeness reflects resemblance. Image enables communion. Sin exposes the nakedness of likeness, but righteousness restores the glory of the image. The image is the engine—without it, we stall. - Kindness Redefined God's kindness isn't measured in material gain. It's the presence that walks with us, the favor that covers us, and the access that never expires. In this episode we understand that Ruth's story isn't just about loyalty—it's about legacy. It's about stepping into a guarantee that rewrites your spiritual credit history and gives you full access to the treasury of grace. We invite you to Subscribe to GRACELIFECOMI and join us for a session that promises to stir your spirit and invite you closer to Christ!. Whether you're a long-time listener or new to our community, there's something here for everyone! Jesus is Lord.

Why does God hide Himself? Why does Scripture show Him veiled in clouds, curtains, flesh, and bread? In this episode we explore one of the most overlooked themes in Catholic spirituality: the veil.From Eden to the Eucharist, from Moses' shining face to the veil of the Temple torn at the Cross, veiling runs through the entire story of salvation. The Catholic mystics teach us that veils are not barriers but acts of mercy — God concealing Himself so that we may gradually be unveiled and transformed into His likeness.We'll explore:The Biblical meaning of veils (Genesis, Exodus, Song of Songs, Revelation)Why God veils Himself in mercy, mystery, and preparationHow we veil ourselves through sin and fearThe Eucharist as God's veil under bread and wineTheosis: unveiling as transformation into God's image (2 Corinthians 3:18)Purgatory as the final veil before union with GodVoices of the mystics: Catherine of Siena, Bernard of Clairvaux, John of the Cross, Gertrude the Great
In this opening episode of a three-part series, Dr. Andrew Compton joins Director of Marketing, Jared Luttjeboer, to explore the deep biblical theme of home.

In this week's message, Pastor Robert Madu launches a powerful new series, “Mountains.” Throughout the Bible, mountains are where God meets His people—to give vision, deepen relationship, and reveal His character. From Eden to the Cross, mountains stand as sacred meeting places where Heaven touches earth. Even in valley seasons, we were made for the mountain—for connection with Him. A valley viewpoint will never match a mountaintop revelation. God is constantly calling us higher—to the mountain—where His presence changes everything! Thank you for partnering with Social Dallas!

Explore a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of Jesus' identity: his kingship. Duncan Palmer and Matt Mouzakis dive into the literal meaning of "Christ" (from the Greek Christos) as "King," revealing how modern translations have obscured this powerful concept. Key points: "Christ" literally means "King" in its original context Modern translations often fail to convey this crucial meaning Understanding Jesus as King reshapes our view of his role and authority This perspective challenges our relationship with earthly governments Practical implications for living under Jesus' reign in daily life The discussion highlights how referring to Jesus as "King" more frequently, rather than "Christ," could transform believers' understanding of his role and their allegiance to him. This shift in language and perspective has far-reaching implications for Christian faith and practice. Gain fresh insights into familiar Bible passages and be challenged to reconsider their relationship with Jesus as their true sovereign. This episode promises to be an eye-opening exploration of a foundational, yet frequently misunderstood, aspect of Christian faith.
From Eden to Revelation, the Bible is one example to the next of heavenly encounters with earthly people. In fact, the separation of heaven and earth was created very thin, and we should expect to see and hear heavenly manifestations because we are spiritual beings.. Dr. Jonny encourages us to stop, look and listen so that we may become more spiritually aware and mature in order to battle the dark places!
God's creation was never meant for us to passively occupy or consume — it's always been accompanied by a call to actively participate in its flourishing and fruitfulness. From Eden to now, stewardship is a sacred thing. It shapes creation, reveals our faith, and transforms our lives. What we tend—or fail to tend—forms us and the world around us.
We are at a pivotal point in this study of John's Revelation from Jesus. Does Chapter 11 tell us the end of the story, and Chapter 12 begins the retelling of that story, but from a different perspective? I discuss three different views - the "Recapitulation" view, the "Chronilogical" view, and the "From Eden to the End" view.
From Eden to the New Creation, God's plan has always been to restore what was lost.

From Eden to Calvary—one story, two trees, and a promise fulfilled.In Episode 11 of The Road to the Cross, Steve and Tim explore the deep spiritual connection between the two trees in the Garden of Eden and the cross of Christ. Through rich theology, church history, and personal reflection, they unpack how the cross doesn't just echo Eden—it rewrites the story.You'll discover:Why the cross is the true tree of lifeHow the knowledge of good and evil led to a fear of deathWhat the early church called deification—and how it shapes our futureThe real meaning behind “This day you'll be with Me in paradise”This episode invites you to revisit your origin, rediscover your identity, and reimagine the cross as the gateway back to paradise—and forward into new creation.
The enemy's best lies don't sound evil — they sound almost true.From Eden to the wilderness, the devil's favorite tactic has always been the same: make you quietly question whether God is really good. But Jesus shows us a different way. While Adam and Eve gave in to doubt in paradise, Jesus stood firm in the wilderness. He didn't rely on comfort, strength, or even visible results — He trusted the Word of God.The truth is, the enemy doesn't need you to rebel loudly. He just wants you to doubt subtly. Don't fall for the half-truth. Know the real one.#FakeNews #CrossBridgeChurch #JesusIsTruth

From Eden's fall to Calvary's hill, God's faithfulness never wavered. The cross wasn't a reaction; it was a divine plan sealed in eternity. The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world came to crush the serpent and redeem mankind. If God kept His greatest promise, He'll keep His promise to you.This was aired on Radio HCI Today via the WeLove Radio App

In this opening sermon of our new series in the Gospel of John, Pastor Thomas guides us from the very first words of Genesis to the poetic prologue of John's Gospel, showing us how the story of creation finds its fulfillment in Christ.Fresh off our time in Genesis 1–11, we now turn to John 1:1–18—not as a new story, but as the next chapter in the same divine drama. The themes of Word, Light, Incarnation, Adoption, and Glory take center stage as we meet Jesus, the eternal Son of God, the promised Head-Crusher, and the Light that darkness cannot overcome.This isn't just a theological introduction—it's a poetic unveiling of who Jesus is:• The Word who was with God and was God, through whom all things were made.• The Light who shines into the darkness, echoing God's first words of creation and breaking the curse of sin.• The Incarnate God, who took on flesh to dwell among us—God made visible and approachable.• The Giver of the Right, who makes rebels into children of God.• The Glory we were made to reflect, now revealed in the face of Christ, full of grace upon grace.From Eden to exile, from Babel to Bethlehem, God has come near.This sermon traces the poetic brilliance of John's prologue and its deep ties to Genesis, reminding us that the Bible tells one unified story—one that finds its crescendo in Jesus.
In this powerful exploration of God's dwelling place, we journey through the Bible's rich temple imagery. From Eden to the New Creation, we see God's unwavering desire to be with His people. The story of Solomon's Temple in 2 Chronicles 7 becomes a launching point to understand how God's presence has evolved throughout scripture. We're challenged to see beyond physical structures and recognize that through Jesus, we ourselves have become living temples. This shift from external to internal holiness invites us to reconsider our relationship with God. Are we fully embracing the reality that the Holy Spirit dwells within us? This message encourages us to surrender completely to God's presence, reminding us that true transformation comes not from religious symbols or buildings, but from allowing God to work in and through us.

*Sex Not Gender: Listen in as host Doug McBurney welcomes Nicole McBurney on to help us understand how linguists determine that words have a common ancestor, (and how Sal Cordova proved that proteins don't), and how "sex" became "gender" and what's wrong with all that. The Gay 90's: We'll examine etymology and biology and how back in the 1990s the western world saw a full court press to normalize perversion and corrupt the language. Losing the Culture War: In 2009 Bob Enyart interviewed one of the devil's more productive culture warriors; unrepentant sodomite Wayne Besen. You'll hear how few allegedly "christian" leaders have stood, (and how long they've been laying down) against the tide of sexual immorality that brought in the trannies and the child molesters. From Eden to Revelation: Look in on the history of feminism, paganism, divination & witchcraft, and hear how the more and more corrupt the world becomes, the more and more words are used to paper it over.

Are we truly grasping the essence of Revelation, or have we merely relegated its message to the past? In Part 4 of our series "From Eden to Empire," we invite you to see Revelation as a lens for understanding all empires, not just Rome. Discover how its profound teachings can guide Christians in navigating their relationship with worldly powers. We'll reexamine the imagery of beasts and Babylon, often interpreted as symbols of Rome's might, revealing their relevance to any empire marked by oppression and idolatry. What does it mean to bear the mark of the beast? We'll explore this as a symbol of allegiance to earthly powers over God, contrasting it with the divine mark of believers. Plus, we'll dive into the origins of the notorious number 666, uncovering its historical context and broader implications for complicity with imperial power. Revelation's urgent call to "come out of her" challenges us to disengage from the ways of empire, urging believers to live as citizens of God's kingdom. We'll also redefine the concept of the antichrist—not as a singular figure, but as any force opposing Christ's reign. Join us as we unpack these themes, fostering a historically grounded understanding of how Revelation speaks to the intricate dynamics of power and faith. With the U.S. presidential elections on the horizon, this episode is sure to provoke thought and inspire reflection on the intersection of empire and spirituality.

In Part 3 of our series "From Eden to Empire," we unravel the complexities of Romans 13 and its implications for Christians living under governmental authority. Was Paul truly advocating for unwavering obedience to the state, or was his message more nuanced? We explore the context of Paul's letter to the Roman church in the 1st century, revealing that his words were tailored to address specific circumstances rather than offering a blanket endorsement of government power. Our discussion delves into the idea of living peacefully within the empire while maintaining allegiance to Christ as the ultimate authority. We examine the distinction between submission and obedience, highlighting that the Greek term used by Paul suggests a voluntary yielding rather than blind compliance. This episode challenges listeners to consider when submission to earthly authorities aligns—or conflicts—with their commitment to Christ. We also touch on the topic of taxes, suggesting that Paul's references may have been more about local dues and neighborhood authorities than the overarching Roman government. By contrasting the teachings of Romans 12 with the directives in Romans 13, we uncover how embodying the principles of the former can help navigate the challenges posed by the latter. Join us as we dissect these themes, encouraging a deeper understanding of how Christians can faithfully engage with worldly powers while staying true to their spiritual convictions. This episode promises to provoke thought and inspire meaningful reflection on the intersection of faith and governance.
