Eden: In the Beginning

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

Humanity’s desire for perfection is woven into the very fabric of our being. Whether we seek enlightenment, utopia, or a desire to “return to Eden,” what our hearts really long for is a return to the fulfilling relationship that God intended for our enjoyment at the beginning of time. This four-week sermon series looks at the Eden narrative at the beginning of Scripture, specifically at the loss of Eden and the fall narrative in Genesis 3. As we study, we’ll look forward to Revelation and the time in which God restores what was lost, bringing creation into perfect peace and harmony with him once again.

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.
