This audio recording captures a sermon delivered by Pastor Jim West on April 6, 2025, focusing on the biblical book of Genesis, specifically chapter 2. The sermon explores the creation narrative, highlighting that work was intended as a positive aspect of human flourishing before the fall of man. Pastor West discusses the significance of the two named trees in the Garden of Eden: the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, emphasizing that the latter was not inherently bad but represented a boundary set by God. The central theme revolves around love as a choice, arguing that God gave humanity free will to choose to love and obey Him, illustrating this through the command regarding the forbidden tree and drawing parallels to parent-child relationships. Ultimately, the sermon posits that humanity's purpose is to love God, and this love is expressed through obedience and trusting God's established parameters for life, a concept exemplified by Jesus Christ's life and sacrifice.Support the showThanks for listening!

Two Ways, Two Trees, Two Houses: Matthew 7:13-27 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church
Pastor Chapman "Tale Of Two Trees"
Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview True disciples are known by their words and their response to Jesus' words.Digging Deeper Read Luke 6:43-491. Based on the words you speak, how do you think those around you would describe your heart? 2. Are you tempted to blame your circumstances for your speech? What would the last part of verse 45 say to that assessment?3. To have an abundance of something means to have a plentiful supply of it. What is abundant or plentiful in your heart—joy, worry, peace, anger, love, pride, humility?4. Where does a good heart come from? (See Ezekiel 36:26)5. How might the good fruit produced out of the good treasure of our hearts impact those around us for good? 6. Why do we not do what Christ has told us to do? (Pride, ease, fear, etc) 7. Are you more like the man who built his house on the ground or the one who built his house on a deep foundation? 8. What does the flood represent in verse 48?9. Jesus said that his followers should expect to have trouble in this life (John 16:33). If you've experienced a trial in your own life, how did having a solid foundation (or not having one) affect you? 10. Do you feel confident that you will stand firm in the final judgment? Why or why not? 11. How can we practically help each other to hear Christ's words and do them? Prayer

(25 de noviembre: Día Internacional para la Erradicación de la Violencia contra la Mujer) Recibí flores hoy. No es mi cumpleaños ni ningún otro día especial. Tuvimos un disgusto anoche, y él me golpeó; pero sé que él está arrepentido, porque me mandó flores hoy. Recibí flores hoy. No es nuestro aniversario ni ningún otro día especial. Anoche me lanzó contra la pared y comenzó a ahorcarme; pero sé que él está arrepentido, porque me mandó flores hoy. Recibí flores hoy. No es el Día de la Madre ni ningún otro día especial. Tenía tantos moretones que me dio pena contestar a la puerta; pero sé que él está arrepentido, porque me mandó flores hoy. Si lo abandono, ¿a dónde puedo ir? ¿Cómo me gano la vida? ¿Y qué será de mis hijos? La situación empeora cada vez más, pero temo dejarlo; pero sé que él está arrepentido, porque me mandó flores hoy. Recibí flores hoy. Mi familia y mis amigos desfilaron ante el féretro para verme, preguntándose por qué no había dejado a mi marido. ¡Si sólo hubiera tenido la fuerza y el valor para dejarlo! Pero no lo hice, ¡así que recibí flores hoy!1 Este imaginario relato póstumo escrito a modo de poema en 1991 por Allen «Two Trees» Dowdell, casado con una mujer que fue víctima de maltrato a manos de su marido anterior, nos obliga a encarar los innumerables casos de mujeres que aún en el siglo veintiuno se dejan maltratar y no le ponen fin a la violencia por el miedo que le tienen a su agresor. El siguiente caso se lo contó al diario El Tiempo uno de los médicos legistas del Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses en Colombia. Una mujer llegó con un brazo roto. El médico, al ver que ella tenía secuelas de malos tratos anteriores, le preguntó por qué no había denunciado antes a su esposo. La sufrida mujer respondió: «Mi marido me pegaba lo normal.» Otro de esos médicos informó que había tenido que atender quince veces a la misma mujer golpeada por el mismo agresor.2 Gracias a Dios, toda víctima de semejante violencia puede acudir a Él con la confianza no sólo de que comprende su dolor, sino también de que tiene poder para darle la fuerza necesaria para abandonar al victimario y buscar ayuda profesional. Dios envió a su Hijo Jesucristo al mundo para que sufriera en carne propia el maltrato a manos de crueles verdugos, y así pudiera identificarse con nosotros, interceder por nosotros y ofrecernos a cada uno su ayuda oportuna en toda circunstancia adversa de la vida.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Allen «Two Trees» Dowdell, «I Got Flowers Today» (Recibí flores hoy) septiembre 1991 ; En línea 2 mayo 2007; En línea 12 junio 2018. 2 Tomado de ElTiempo.com, 14 agosto 2011, Redacción Justicia, «Cada día, 140 mujeres son agredidas por sus parejas en Colombia» En línea 25 mayo 2018. 3 Is 53:4-5; Jn 3:16; Hch 2:22-23; Heb 7:25

Our latest discussion, "The Tale of Two Trees," invites you on an enlightening journey through the scriptures, starting from the Garden of Eden and leading to the cross of Christ.

There were two trees in the garden that God brought to the attention of Adam and Eve and they were the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil of which God specifically told them not to eat from but they did and died spiritually that day and passed that spiritual death down to the rest of humanity. Unfortunately we have been eating from that tree ever since. Today Pastor Allen will show you what the tree of knowledge of good and evil produces and leading up to the tree of life for the following week.

"The voices you allow in your life determine the direction of your life." One of the questions many people ask is, "how could God, who created all things good, make an exception to creation, with a forbidden tree with fruit impermissible to eat, and place it in the middle of the garden of Eden?" Pastor Marty answers this question with the beauty of the original strokes of Hebrew text. You will be surprised to learn what "Eden" actually means! "It had everything to do with obedience, Lordship, and the free will of choice."

Psalm 1 The Book of Psalms opens with one that teaches us how to flourish in life. God's vision of thriving does not occur when we seek the counsel and guidance of this world. That's like a tree that fails to bear fruit, because it's planted away from water and the sun. However, those who delight in the Lord, and feed upon His Word, will thrive, just like the tree that is planted by water and exposed to the sun.

If we're all one, does that mean we're one with evil people? Are there even evil people or just people who do evil things? When we look at the two trees in the garden we see two different paths of how to look at situations. Can we look at difficult situations and choose to see life in it instead of death?

The Sermon of the Mount, recorded in Matthew 5-7, is Jesus' first public sermon and longest recorded in the gospels. Jesus' main focuses in these chapters is what we belong to (the Kingdom), who we belong to (the Father), and how we interact with both (love and obedience). It is the constitution of the “upside-down Kingdom”. Here, losing is winning, suffering is joy, and enemies are loved. When people persecute us they get blessed. When there is division and strife, we stand as peacemakers. When we are struck with insults, we refuse to retaliate but instead manifest a crucified lamb. It is a kingdom where our time is not devoted to how much money we can make but how obedient we can be to the Father. It is where the meek inherit the earth not the strong and the politically savvy. In this kingdom, we give, pray and fast in secret and there is no need for anxiety concerning tomorrow. This is the only way of life for the Church and what it looks like to be a disciple of Jesus.

Have you ever thought about how trimming trees relates to running a business? Kristen got us all thinking after chatting about tree pruning and uncovering surprising similarities between this necessary job and how we shape our businesses. This talk led to some eye-opening discussions, linking the process of pruning to smart business strategies and offering valuable lessons for everyone aiming to grow professionally. Kristen's story about two trees holds invaluable lessons about pruning and the transformative power of speaking life into seemingly challenging situations. These lessons extend far beyond the realm of horticulture, offering profound insights applicable to our daily lives. Let's look at a few highlights: The idea of 'cutting off things that look like they're working' might seem counterintuitive, yet it's a critical aspect of growth. It prompts us to consider what serves our present needs and what might hinder our future selves. The pruning season might be discomforting, but it's an integral part of the growth process—a process that nurtures stronger, enduring, and ultimately more fruitful outcomes. Kristen emphasizes the need to reframe our perspective on the phase we're in. It's not just the victorious seasons that define us; instead, it's our ability to navigate and grow through the challenging times that truly shape us. It's a reminder that by speaking life into our endeavors, exercising patience, and consistently putting in the effort, we have the capacity to build something that lasts—a testament to the power of intentional growth and nurturing. The crucial takeaway is about persevering and speaking positivity into our efforts. It's a lesson in patience, self-care, and the understanding that growth takes time. Much like trees go through the pruning stages, we must make hard decisions, persevere through challenges, and have the patience to nurture what we are building.
