https://youtu.be/YTGdT6hRhOI Gen. 2: 4-14 Today we introduce man as both a natural and spiritual being, a little about where civilization began and, more importantly, the introduction of two trees and two choices for us to think about very deeply.
https://youtu.be/TH_I-U-PMS8 Genesis 2:1-3 Today we clarify some of what this meager channel is meant to be and of course not to be, and also to talk about what it means on the very surface level to live a list of peace and rest in the Lord Jesus instead of merely living lives of self-reliance and …
