A Tale of Two Gardens
A Tale of Two Gardens – Genesis chapters 1 to 3 and Matthew chapter 26 The First Garden In the first garden a BIG LIE came into the world – “God doesn’t love you.” A Second Garden In the second garden, God proved that He does love us. He sent Jesus, God’s Son, to rescue us, and bring us back to happiness. Inspired by the highly recommended and WONDER-FULL “Jesus Storybook Bible” by Sally Lloyd-Jones and Jago.

The World’s great problem Genesis 3:1-24 God’s great promise Genesis 3:15 You can read the chapter here (Photo by Natchaya Shw on Unsplash)
What is Man? – Psalm 8
Psalm 8 What is Man? In the 18th century the idea arose that God has no interest in man. The Universe is a vast machine that God made and no longer cares about. Man is just part of the clockwork. In the 19th century Man said that God doesn’t exist. Naturalism (there is nothing but Nature) inevitably led to Nihilism (Man has no significance at all). This is a great blow to any idea of our dignity. We are so…
What has Jesus done? God’s Agent of Creation
