The Third Garden
April 9, 2023 • Mike Stehr • Ephesians 4:7–9, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 10:4, 2 Corinthians 5:15
God fulfilled his promise of redemption in the garden where Jesus rose from the dead, the same promise he made to Adam who was in the Garden when he first sinned. On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Mike brings to our remembrance this full circle moment.
The Second Garden
April 2, 2023 • Mike Stehr • Genesis 2:16–17, Genesis 3:8–21, Matthew 26:39, Genesis 1:26–28, Genesis 2:7
"Jesus came and did what Adam failed to do." In the second Garden, the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus puts God's will before his own. Pastor Mike brings us from the Garden of Eden to the Garden of Gethsemane to explain how and why.
The First Garden
March 26, 2023 • Mike Stehr • Genesis 2:7–8, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 2:17, Genesis 1:26–28
"The Garden was the place designed for that communal fellowship with God.” In this new sermon series Pastor Mike is going to be talking about the different Gardens in the Bible in his lead up for Easter. This week he talks about how it was in the garden that we rebelled against our creator, rejected our purpose, relinquished our dominion, substituted our own will for His and broke fellowship with His Spirit and hid from his presence.
