I’ve been re-reading the first couple of chapters in Genesis in preparation for the Green Garden series I’ll be speaking on this weekend. As I read and pondered I was overwhelmed again with the grandeur of God’s plan in His creation of humans. These first chapters lay out such a foundation for God’s relationship with humans that helps us understand our connections with each other, and why we are so broken.

As I will be describing this weekend, God set us up in the perfect environment to thrive and succeed in life. It was the fall of man that raped man’s spiritual security and ousted us from the Green Garden. Broken marriages and families is the inevitable result.

With God’s grace and the sacrifice of our Redeemer we have hope of a reconciliation and restoration of everything we’ve lost; including damaged relationships.

Pray with me as I speak words of life to hurting people this weekend.
