Echoes of Eden

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This four-week series looks at some of the lessons taught and the wisdom prescribed in the Bible through moments in a garden or living things found in a garden. The series will cover several ideas: life is dependent upon water; we can see God’s attentive nature while examining birds and flowers; Jesus was pressed in the garden of Gethsemane; and knowledgeable gardeners spur more growth. This series will challenge the hearers but also remind them of the wisdom and tender care God offers his children.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
