Tending the Garden of the Inner Life | Sermon Series
#1 The Garden at the Beginning
Passage: Genesis 2:8-9; 15-22
The sermon explores the contrast between the outer and inner life, emphasising that while society focuses on external appearances, God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). The message is framed around the biblical imagery of a garden, drawing lessons from Genesis 2 about how we are designed for beauty, connection, and work.
#2 In The End, It Will All Be OK
Passage: Revelation 21:1-8; 22:1-5, 17
This sermon centers on the Garden City at the end, found in the book of Revelation. The hope of Christ is that in the end, every tear will be wiped away, every thirst will be satisfied, every thing will be made new, and every transgression made right. Perhaps the best news is that Jesus invites to build the Garden City with him, beginning with the gardens of our inner lives.
