In this week's message, we go back to the first marriage of the Bible - the marriage of Adam and Eve. A marriage that Jesus points back to in Matthew 19 as serving as the prototype for all marriages to come.

In this message, we finally enter the Garden of Eden where God places Adam so as to work it

and to keep it. In this message, we discuss the genesis of work along with the gift of freedom and

will that God gives Adam, and Eve later, by way of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge

of good and evil.

In this sermon we will walk through the seventh day of creation. We'll ask the questions: Why did God rest? Where did His rest come from? What does His rest look like in us? And How can His rest become our reality?

In this, the fourth message in our Eden series, we address the topics of mankind being created in the image of God and what this means in terms of our role and relationship with the rest of creation. In addition, we address the topics of gender, race and our call to multiply.

In this sermon we will walk through days two to five of the creation account. We will unpack the way this story confronts the primary origin story of our culture, points us to what's good, and leads us to worship.

Text: Genesis 1:2-5

In this message we consider why the Genesis 1 account of creation begins with an unfinished earth and what God wants us to see by His shining light into it.

Text: Genesis 1:1

We kick off our Eden series in Genesis 1:1 in this message by observing what it tells us about God and God, specifically, as Creator. The message concludes by addressing how what we see and observe in our world and beyond demonstrates more convincingly the existence of God than anything else.

As we end 2017 and look forward to 2018 we'll look at Paul's encouragement to consider everything we could put our hope and confidence in outside of the finished work of Jesus as garbage for the sake of knowing Jesus and being found in Him.

The greatness of the prophet Elijah is without debate; few were more committed to the glory of God than he. However, even Elijah was prone to fear, anger and despondency. This sermon investigates how the restoration of Elijah from places like those takes place and what we can learn from it.

As we end our Christmas Series on this Christmas Eve, 2017, we revisit the most well-known verse in the Bible - John 3:16 - and look at three great wonders found in that help explain why Jesus came.
