Seeing Eden Through the Lens of Jesus
•
SMC preachers
We are still in the Garden, beginning to see movement towards the Table. What does this origin story say about gender, and culture, and danger? If we start with Jesus, what do we see about that first curse and the real danger? Join Megan as she discusses the story and the wisdom brought by rabbis through Midrash and learn about the way things are, danger, and First Tears.
Sermon begins at minute marker 8:23
Genesis 3:8-21; Mark 13:14-22
