Listen "July 6, 2025 - The Symbolic World of Genesis 1-3: Garden"
Episode Synopsis
In Part 2 of our “Temple” series through Genesis 1–3, we shift our focus to Genesis 2—a second, more intimate telling of the creation story. Here, we explore how the Garden of Eden is more than paradise; it is a sacred space, carefully planted and filled by God, where humanity is placed to dwell in relationship with the Creator.
This message uncovers the rich temple imagery embedded in the narrative: the dust, the breath of life, and the garden—all pointing to a world where heaven and earth meet. As we reflect on these symbols, we begin to see Eden not just as the beginning of life, but as the original sanctuary where God and humanity coexisted in harmony.
