Genesis 2:5-9 ESV 5 When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”
This Sunday we are looking at the question, "Why did God put two trees in the garden?" We'll also hear from our kids and all the music they have learned this week at VBS!
In today's podcast episode we go all the way back to Genesis and the two trees in the Garden that God planted in the middle of the Eden. We integrate them into our lives today and how we make choices every day to either be in the Spirit and God's Grace or in the world and our own flesh. We also end up in Revelation and see the Tree of Life growing on both sides of the River of Life. Email: swdyouthink@gmai.com
Dear friends,In the middle of the garden, full of beautiful trees, there are 2 trees in particular. What is the importance of the tree of life? What is it telling us about God's plans for humanity? Why is it singled out for special mention?The other, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, seems to be even more important in establishing the drama of life in the Garden of Eden and subsequently the storyline of the rest of the Bible. But what does it mean to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?I hope our discussion prompts more discussion among you and your friends.Yours,Phillip This is a public episode.

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.
In this message, Jesus will issue two sobering warnings concerning the path to the Kingdom of Heaven: those who will seek to deceive us concerning salvation and that of our own self-deception. In doing so, we'll consider the implications of those warnings and find encouragement to remain steadfast on the path of Jesus and His righteousness that comes by grace through faith. Scripture: Matthew 7:15-23
We have a choice to make every time a situation presents itself. We can choose to respond from the hope in the tree of life, or we can respond through the judgment of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The insight in this message will help you become more aware of your choices and help you to choose life over fear.
When life shakes us, where do our roots dig in? In this message, Pastor Kevin invites us to explore Jeremiah 17:5–8 and the story of the twelve spies from Numbers 13–14. Are we building our lives on self-reliance—or are we anchored in the faithful promises of God? Discover how trusting in sight leads to fear, but trusting in the Lord leads to flourishing. It's time to replant our trust in the One who never fails.
* In the beginning, God made man in His own image and likeness. He then placed man in the garden and made him a helpmeet. In that garden, God placed two special trees, along with the other various trees. These two trees were the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (otherwise known as the Tree of Death - for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.) * God made man with the Privilege of Choice. Man, in the garden, had a choice to make. God told man that he could eat of any tree (including the Tree of Life), but he was forbidden from eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Sadly, man chose to disobey God, and death entered into the world. * This choice has been the primary choice which man needs to make. To choose obedience to God is to choose life. To choose disobedience to God is to choose death. Romans 6:23 states, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." * The apex of that choice was displayed 4000 years later, in the very moment of Christ's payment for our sin. There on Golgotha - the place of the Skull - Jesus was crucified between two criminals. The trees upon which these criminals were hung equate to the trees in the Garden of Eden. * Mankind, another 2000 years later, is still faced with the same choice that these criminals faced. Let's look at "The Choice" each made. * This message was presented by Chuck Sabo and Bob Corbin on April 20, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
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

Send us a textWhat if the essence of Christianity could be encapsulated in the symbolism of just two trees? 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."
