Return to the Garden

This teaching traces one clear thread through Scripture. It shows Eden as a sacred place where heaven and earth met, and it follows the story of people trying to climb back up. We look at Babel and the high places as examples of that effort. Then we see how God meets people on mountains in Abraham, Moses, and Elijah, and how Jesus both teaches from mountains and acts as the gardener who opens the way home. Key passages include Genesis 2–3, Genesis 11, Genesis 22, Exodus 19, 1 Kings 19, John 18–20, and Revelation 21–22.

You will come away with a simple shape of the gospel: exile, human ascent, God meeting us, Christ opening the way, and final restoration. The study helps explain why our longings for the garden are good, and why we cannot build the way back on our own. Watch to learn how these biblical images connect and what they mean for faith and worship today.
