Thanks so much for listening to our podcast! We are especially excited to share this sermon because it is the first as we resume the Narrative Lectionary as we move into the fall season! If you don't know, the Narrative Lectionary (NL) is a four-year cycle of readings that follow the sweep of the biblical story, from Creation through the early Christian church, and we are now in "Year 3" of the NL. This particular sermon is based on Genesis 2:4b–7, 15–17; 3:1–8, which contains the second creation story in Genesis, and it somehow also managed to rope in the Big Bang! We hope it will be meaningful to you this week! You can find out more about the Narrative Lectionary at ⁠https://www.workingpreacher.org/narrative-faq⁠.
