The Restoration of the Garden of Eden
Join our Bible study to explore the theme of the garden in the Bible. We are going to discuss passages from various chapters to learn about all the good things God gave Adam & Eve, how they lost them, how they are redeemed in Jesus, and how God wants to create a beautiful garden in each one of our hearts where He can dwell in. This is going to be a time to enter in and let the Holy Spirit lead our conversations!
