Easter Service: God in the Garden

from Awakening Church · host Awakening Church

Pastor Jordan Boyce is sharing a powerful message on the three gardens of Scripture -- Eden, Gethsemane, and the Garden Tomb -- and how Easter is the story of God pursuing humanity back into His presence.📝 Notes: Easter is the story of God restoring what was lost in Eden and inviting humanity back into life with Him through Jesus. Walk through the three gardens of Scripture and discover what it means to hear God calling your name and run back to Him. 🌿🕊️ Key Highlights:"The original intent for man was to dwell with God in a Garden." The human heart longs for Eden -- and Easter is God's answer to that longing.God wants to be with you. The question echoing through Scripture is still being asked today: "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?" (John 18:26)Sin creates distance. Peter's denial -- "I do not know the man" -- mirrors the way we drift from God when we live as though He isn't real.Grace goes first. Jesus looked at Peter with eyes of grace, not judgment, before Peter ever repented. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)The call is personal. At the resurrection, Jesus said, "Go tell his disciples -- and Peter." God calls you by name, no matter how far you've run.📖 Scriptures Referenced: Genesis 2:8• John 3:16• John 12:24• John 18:26• John 19:41• Matthew 26:74• Luke 22:61• Luke 22:62• Luke 24:12• Mark 16:7• Romans 3:23• Romans 5:8• Romans 10:9• Romans 10:13
