ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: The world calls marriage a contract. The Word calls marriage a covenant. In Genesis 2, God gives Adam his ezer, and in Ephesians 5, Christ gives himself for his bride. This week Pastor Jack teaches on why covenant, not contract, is the path to real, joyful marriage. ABOUT THE HEIGHTS CHURCH: We are a church making disciples of Jesus for the renewal of Denver.

Send us Fan MailModern culture has discipled women to believe freedom is found in rejecting God's design. Scripture teaches the opposite.In this episode, we're asking one question: Who defines womanhood- culture or Christ? We'll explore how competing worldviews have shaped marriage, why God's design isn't oppressive but protective, and why Christian wives cannot build flourishing marriages on a foundation that contradicts God's Word. God's design has always been for our good, our freedom, and His glory.

Send us Fan MailWhy do we ask God to restore what we're unwilling to surrender?In this episode, we're opening the book of Judges to uncover a sobering pattern: partial obedience always leads to compromise. The Israelites entered the Promised Land but refused to fully obey God's commands, and one generation later they had forgotten the Lord and were living according to their own ways. What does this have to do with marriage? More than you think. If we're praying for God's blessing while resisting His authority, we're building on the wrong foundation. Flourishing begins with conviction, confession, repentance, and wholehearted obedience.

What's the point of the Torah's stark language about nakedness, sexuality and child-sacrificing pagan worship in Leviticus 18? It's really about something deeper: exploiting the vulnerable, crossing God-given boundaries and confusing shame with holiness. Tracing themes from Leviticus, Genesis, 1Corinthians, Hebrews and James, we explore how “naked and not ashamed” became fearful hiding — and how Messiah becomes our true covering. Discover how sanctification, judgment and grace meet in a God who refuses to leave us in our damage. 7 takeaways from this study (https://hallel.info/torah-089-2026/) 1. Guard the vulnerable, especially within family. 2. Take communal holiness seriously. 3. See sin as contagious, not private. Whether leaven, skin disease, or sexual sin, Scripture treats sin as something that spreads. 4. Treat grace as a covenant, not “fire insurance.” 5. Cooperate with lifelong sanctification. 6. Respect God's created boundaries in relationships. 7. Hold both humility and courage in accountability.

Sex is one of the most talked about—and misunderstood—topics in our culture. Too often, it's treated as either a god to be worshiped or something shameful to avoid. But Scripture offers a better way. In this week's message from 1 Corinthians 7 and Genesis 2, Pastor Jordan shows us that sex is neither God nor gross—it is a gift. When we embrace God's design for intimacy within covenant marriage, we discover that his commands aren't meant to restrict our joy, but to deepen it and ultimately point us back to the goodness of the God who loves us.
Program for 07/01/2026 SAS Chapel: Genesis 2
Genesis 2:15 highlights the responsibility given to man in the Garden of Eden, to work it and care for it, emphasizing stewardship and purpose in creation.
The traditional translations of Gen. 2:24 have the man "leaving his father and mother," "clinging to his wife," and "becoming one flesh." The assumed frame of reference is that of marriage and sexual union. Yet situating that language in its cultural context and noting a Babylonian parallel to one of those phrases points to a corporate frame of reference. Dr. John Walton, Old Testament Professor Emeritus at Wheaton Graduate School, is a frequent contributor to this podcast. He has many volumes in his "Lost World" series along with many other publications, including, Genesis (NIV Application Commentary). He is currently collaborating with Dr. Aubrey Buster in preparing a major commentary on Daniel (NICOT). The first volume on Daniel 1-6 is already available, and the second volume on Daniel 7-12 is on the way.

The fact Genesis reveals the foundational Truth of God is confirmed by the teaching of Jesus, who treats its account of the Creation, Fall & Flood as literal. *GENESIS 1 reveals a personal supernatural God created this world. So, life did not arise by accident as evolution teaches. He created man in His image, with authority to rule. Man did not descend from apes, but is a direct creation of God. *GENESIS 2 describes His special creation of man (v7), made us in His image to have fellowship with Him (3:8). As our Creator, He is our Owner & Lord, with an absolute right to rule us & define who we are & our purpose. He makes the rules & sets the boundaries. He put Adam & Eve under obedience, and explained the result of rebellion (v17). God defines right & wrong, there are absolutes, and we're accountable to God; if we rebel, there are consequences & judgment. God created man as male & female (1:27, 2:18-25), the origin of sexuality, with Adam & Eve the original pattern. He instituted marriage between a man & a woman & family. *GENESIS 3 reveals the devil tempted them into sin. As a result, man died spiritually & was cast out of God's Presence. Sin resulted in man losing God's blessing & coming under curse, bringing suffering, sickness & physical death. As man was given authority over nature & the animal kingdom, the curse also came on his domain. So, man is sinful by nature, cut off from God & under His judgment. But God shared the Gospel of the Messiah with them (v15) and they trusted in Him (v21). Genesis 3 reveals man is a fallen being, who needs salvation. Only by understanding this does the Gospel make sense. If there's no personal God, no absolute right & wrong, no sin & judgment, then there's no need for salvation. *GENESIS 4-6 teaches Adam transmitted the sin-nature in his flesh to all his seed (1:11-25), as seen with Cain (4:7,8) & Seth (5:3) and confirmed by Jesus (John 3:6). Due to the inherited sin-nature, sin multiplied (6:5), necessitating a world-wide Flood, proving God will judge man for his sin. So, the Truth is there's a righteous God, who expects us to live righteously. But all have sinned and so are under His judgment. We must accept this truth, to understand & believe the Gospel & be saved. He also revealed the Gospel of salvation (the solution to man's problem), by His provision of salvation for Noah & family from the judgment of the Flood. The ARK is a picture of CHRIST, our refuge from judgment, who offers Himself to us to cover & protect us. Christ, our Ark of Salvation, took God judgment on Himself, so that all who trust in Him & take refuge in Him, will be put in Him & be saved from judgment. The Truth of Genesis is settled for a Christian by seeing what Jesus said about these issues, for if we believe He is the Truth (John 14:6) and the true God, then He knows what's true & what's false, and His teaching must be true, the authoritative Word of God, as He claimed (Matt 5:21,27,31, 33,38,43). He spoke as God, the Fount of all authority & will judge us by our response to His words (John 12:48-50). He claimed all His words come from God, and so are without error. This is especially clear in Matthew 28:18-20, where the risen Christ commands His disciples to teach all men: “to observe ALL THINGS I COMMANDED you.” If He'd taught errors He'd not have endorsed everything He taught in His earthly ministry, and tell His apostles to teach the same. Thus, we expect the apostles' teaching to agree with His teaching on these issues. He affirmed that all of God's Word (including Genesis) is truth (John 17:17, Matt 4:4, John 10:35, Luke 24:25-27, 44-45), as did the apostles (2Tim 3:16). He often quoted Genesis, treating it as His final authority in disputes. He believed Genesis was historically true. Some examples of this are: *1. JESUS believed in a historical MOSES, and that he wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. He validated Moses & his writings, including Genesis (John 5:39-40, 45-47). *2. He believed in a historical ADAM, the first man, directly created by God, and affirmed Genesis as historical fact (Luke 3:38, Mark 10:6, Matt 19:4, John 8:44), as did the apostles (Rom 5:12-21, 8:19-211Tim 2:13,14, 1Cor 15:22,45, Jude 1:14). Rom 5:12-21 confirms the Genesis account of a literal Adam, who sinned, and from whom sin & death was transmitted to all men. It uses Adam as a type of Christ, so the Gospel is based on the historicity of Adam. *3. He confirmed ABEL (Genesis 4) was a historical character – the first murder victim, CREATION WEEK (Luke 11:50-51), as does Heb 11:4, 12:24). Hebrews 11 confirms the historicity of many Old Testament heroes. *4. He confirmed the historicity of NOAH and the world-wide FLOOD (Gen 6-9, Matt 24:38-39, Luke 17:27), as did the apostles (1Pet 3:20, 2Pet 2:5, 3:6). He also confirmed the literal destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah and Lot's deliverance (Matt 10:15, 11:23-24, Mark 6:11, Luke 10:12, 17:28-32), as did the apostles (Rom 9:29, 2Pet 2:6-8, Jude 1:7, Rev 11:8).

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
Marriage was never meant to be merely a relationship for personal happiness—it was designed to reflect the gospel. In this week's message from Genesis 1–3, Pastor Brandon shows us that God's vision for marriage is rooted in relationship, vulnerability, and purpose. While sin has fractured trust and intimacy, the gospel restores what is broken. As we learn to love sacrificially, trust courageously, and fight for one another, our marriages become a living picture of God's redeeming love to the world.

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?

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.

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.
