Why does the world feel both beautiful and broken? In Week 1 of The Story We're In, we explore Genesis 1–3 and uncover the biblical story behind our deepest longings, our fractured relationships, and our hope for the future. As we examine God's good design and humanity's rebellion, we see both the beauty of shalom and the brokenness introduced by the Fall, while discovering God's promise of redemption that points forward to Jesus and the restoration of all things.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

What does it take to build love that lasts a lifetime? In this opening message of our new series, Building Love That Lasts, Pastor Ian Buckley takes us back to Genesis 2 and God's original design for marriage. Before sin distorted relationships, God gave us a pattern for covenant love - leave what weakens the marriage, cleave to the covenant He designed, and build a life of faithfulness by His grace.

Many Christians are frustrated as they try with no little zeal to perfect themselves. They mentally keep a checklist of good things that they should do, and bad things that they should not do. They are continually striving, failing, feeling guilty, despairing, depressed, etc. Is this what God intended? Or are we simply at the wrong tree?

Pastor Kurt Hoover gives us the word "Rested" to study from Genesis 2!
In this session, we explore the origin story of the woman, as well as the insights this accounts shares regarding the purpose of humanity and the relationship between the two sexes. We also look at the covenant of marriage, specifically in light of the human calling that runs throughout this chapter of Genesis.
This week, Ryan Patrick Murphy shares a message from Genesis 2 and Genesis 3:8 titled "In the Cool of the Garden, Pt. 1." Preached on Pentecost Sunday, this opening message of a new series frames the Christian life around one of Scripture's most intimate images: God walking with Adam and Eve in the cool of the garden — and the invitation to return to that kind of daily, conversational closeness with the Father.Ryan traces the arc from creation to Pentecost, beginning in Genesis 2 with God forming humanity from dust and breathing His Spirit — His ruach — into us, establishing from the very beginning that we were made to be full of God. He unpacks the tragedy of Genesis 3 not primarily as a moral failure, but as a relational rupture — Adam and Eve stepping out of God's presence — and then follows the biblical storyline through the temple, through Jesus declaring Himself the true temple, and finally to Acts 2, where fire falls on the early church and believers become the new dwelling place of God. Ryan then offers five practical keys to cultivating a continual conversation with God: start with love, not legalism; take a time and a place to pray; bring your whole self to God; learn to listen; and respond. He illustrates each with personal stories, including a vulnerable account of realizing he had been using noise and worship music to avoid bringing his anxious, depressed heart into God's presence.The central theological anchor of this message is the indwelling Holy Spirit as the restoration of Eden. Put simply: we don't have to go back to the garden — we are the garden. Because the Holy Spirit lives inside every believer, we have 100% access to a continual, walking-with-God conversation at every moment of ordinary life.This sermon is an invitation to stop treating prayer as obligation and to come back to the cool of the garden — not to perform, not to fix yourself up first, but simply to walk with a Father who has always been asking, Where are you? Whether you've drifted, burned out, or never quite found your way in, Pentecost is the moment God is offering to rekindle that wild love affair with Him.

POWER FOR TODAY is intended to equip the believers with the supernatural dimension of God through the teaching of the unadulterated word of God.
In part 3 of our study, we draw from Genesis chapters 1 and 2 to catch a glimpse at humanity's purpose, noting both how this related to the original ancient context, as well as our purpose in today's modern world.
In part 2 of our People and Purpose study, we take a look at the creation of the man in Genesis 2. In the process, we learn about human nature, what we are, what we aren't, and what our place in the world is.
Pastor JD teaches a powerful truth found in Genesis chapter-2 that's not so easily seen at first read being that of God showing me my need, before providing my need.

Genesis 2 features the origin of Eden, Adam, and Eve, but as we will discover through this series, is a story about so much more. In this episode, we set the groundwork for understanding this ancient story, and chart a course for interpreting the important issues we will encounter over the next several sessions.
As our study of Genesis continues, we're back in the garden of Eden where we see God “breathe” life into Adam, learn about the tree of good and evil, and witness as woman is created from Adam's rib.

What Genesis 2:18 Really Says About Eve Was Eve really created to be Adam's “helper” in a weak or subordinate sense? In this episode of Truth Unbound, Dr. Walt examines the key Hebrew phrase in Genesis 2:18 and responds to the growing claim that “helper” is an androcentric mistranslation. We affirm what's right—that ezer does not imply inferiority—but also correct the overstatement that it strictly means “rescuer.” By walking carefully through the Hebrew, context, and theology, this episode presents a balanced, Scripture-centered understanding of Eve's role as a strong, corresponding partner. If you've heard the viral claims, this is the thoughtful, biblical response you've been looking for.

Scripture: Genesis 2:15–25 “So, in the one-flesh union of marriage... the married couple comes together completely, as long as they both shall live. In real terms, two selfish me's start learning to think like one unified us, building a new life together with one total everything: one story, one purpose, one reputation, one bed, one suffering, one budget, one family, and so forth. Marriage removes all barriers and replaces them with a comprehensive oneness. It is this all-encompassing unity that sets marriage apart as marriage, more profound than even the most intense friendship.— Ray Ortlund, Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel. + Relational Oneness: A Superlative Love“A husband must do his best to see that no one know his wife's faults but himself and God. He should be unwilling to voice them to anyone but God, to pray that she may be pardoned for them and reformed from them. Likewise, a wife must do her best to keep her husband's struggles and sins to herself, as matters of prayer and not gossip. Neither spouse should be surprised by the sins of the other, for each of them is well aware of their own sins. Can it be helpful to uncover faults in public and fling mud in each other's face? Will this help a husband reform or a wife to repent? And which is more displayed in such a case, the spouse's faults and weaknesses or the gossip's unkindness, indiscretion, backbiting, and folly? Does not the family dog behave better than this when it barks at strangers but not at members of the family?” – Joel Beeke, Purtians on Marital Love. + Spiritual Oneness: A Spiritual LoveHebrews 3:13 NIVHebrews 10:24 NIV“…especially to be helpers of each other's salvation: to stir up each other to faith, love, and obedience, and good works: to warn and help each other against sin, and all temptations: to join in God's worship in the family, and in private: to prepare each other for the approach of death, and comfort each other in the hopes of life eternal.” – Richard Baxter + Physical Oneness: A Sexual Love Matthew 12:20 NIV Proverbs 5:15–20 NIV
