Our reading will be portions from the book of Genesis in the
Old Testament and Ezekiel, and in the New Testament portions
from the Book of Revelation. Let's hear the word of the Lord,
Genesis 2 eight to 10. And the Lord God planted a
garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had
formed, and out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up
every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food.
The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the
tree of knowledge of good and evil.
A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it
divided and became four rivers. Genesis 2 verse 15 to 17 The
Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to
work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the
man, saying, You may surely eat of every three of the garden,
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Genesis 3/8 And they heard the sound of the Lord walking in the
garden in the cool of the day, And the man and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of
the garden. Genesis 323 to 24 Therefore the
Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, toward the
ground from which he was taken. He drove out the man and at the
east of the Garden of Eden he placed the sherbim in a flaming
sword that turned every way to guard the way to the Tree of
life. Ezekiel, Chapter 28 Verse versus
11 to 15. Moreover, the word of the Lord
came to me, son of man, raised a lamentation over the king of
fire, and say to him thus says the Lord God.
You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and
perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of
God. Every precious stone was sure
covering sorry juice, Topaz and diamond burial, Onyx and Jasper,
sapphire, emerald and carbuncle, and crafted in gold.
Where your settings and your engravings.
On the day that you were created, they were prepared.
You were an anointed guardian cherub.
I place you. You were on the holy mountain of
God in the midst of the stones of fire you walk.
You are blameless in your ways from the day you were created
till unrighteousness was found in you and in the New Testament
Revelation 21 versus 123. Then I saw and you haven and a
new earth for the 1st heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, New
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband. And I heard the cloud, a loud
voice from the throne saying, Behold, the dwelling place of
God is with men. He dwell with them and they will
be His people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Revelation Chapter 22 versus 123.
Then the Angel showed me the river of water, of light, bright
as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
through the middle of the street of the city, also on either side
of the river, the tree of life, with its twelve kinds of fruit
yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations No longer will be there.
Anything occurs but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be
in it, and his servants will worship him.
Blessed be the reading of God's word.
Let us come to the Lord in prayer.
Gracious God, our Heavenly Father, help us to understand
your word today as we focus on the Church, we come with hearts
full of anticipation and gratitude.
We acknowledge that you are sovereign over all things,
including life and the mission of your Church.
The Light of Christ illuminate our understanding and may Your
Holy Spirit guide us into the deeper truths concerning the
nature and purpose of your Church.
We recognise our ongoing need for Your mercy and grace.
We ask that you be present with us as your Church.
Prepare us, Lord, to appreciate the significance of our role
within the Body of Christ. May our reflection on the Church
be characterised by true worship, wonder and all, in a
renewed commitment to serving you and your Church.
Grant us the eagerness to maintain the unity of the Spirit
in the bond of peace. We pray this in the mighty name
of Jesus. Amen, Marina,

I am a current don't say exposition attendance, a book of

who are familiar with the Bible to ask them establishing First
Christian Church in history, they would probably point to the
first church established in Jerusalem.
This is after the Pentecost Sunday recorded in the book of
Acts in second Chapter 9 Acts about 30AD.
But what does the Bible say when the first church was
established? Though it is not quite
straightforwardly stated, we shall discover this Lord's Day
that the first Church established by God was in the
garden, and the church consisted of gardeners and gardens.

Now the first is the Garden is God's Temple.

And few people think of the Garden of Eden as God's temple.
But many biblical scholars, and we will owe the interpretations
of this perspective to them. Having pointed out that the

bulls facing the four directions of the earth.
So Kahawig, Don't Say Easy Kill Chapter 47.
It depicts a trickle of water that flows out of the End Time
Temple, and this is symbolic of the Church watering the whole
earth. And in the Garden of Eden, God
is often pictured as dwelling on top of the Holy Mountain, such
as those of Mount Sinai. When we read the account of
Exodus 19, it says that Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke
because of the Lord, the presence of the Lord, and you,

The Garden of Eden is a rich construction and features of the

Lahat Nagito points to our Lord Jesus Christ because our Lord

See Jesus and the Samaritan woman, or the woman at the well.
And Jesus said to her, everyone who drinks of this water will be
thirsty again. But whoever drinks of the water
that I will give him will never be thirsty again, and the water
that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling
up to eternal life. So it is Jesus that is the
living water who gives eternal life to all who believe and
trust in him as his only Saviour.
And he was Jesus Christ was willing to sacrifice himself.
This across in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that
led mankind to eternal death. See Christ, Jesus Christ, who
walks with us. He intercedes for us and gives
us strengths in our affliction to the help of the Holy Spirit.

should contemplate. Do we really fulfill God's
command for us to work and to keep the church so that it would
grow into maturity? And even in numbers?
Do we really read, study, meditate on God's Word not only
in church, but in our respective devotions?
Among family devotions, nothing or individual devotions, do we
have concern for our family, our neighbours?
Do we invite them to be with us? To worship with us?
What are your eyes now? We soak ourselves in the gospel

And so I've been doing so. Revelation Chapter one, Verse

have seen that Adam and Eve was driven out of God's Garden

So you own 6th feature of the garden paradise that we find in
the Tabernacle and the temple, the Ark of the covenant in the
most holy place, symbolic, which symbolises the dwelling place of
God I been a banta and Dalawang golden cherubin.
It overshadows the ark, and if anyone opened the ark, he would
be consumed by God's glory. Together with Adam, all
unbelieving mankind are now outside God's Garden Temple.
In Revelation 21, we read that the new heavens and the new
earth will be the eternal Holy City, the New Jerusalem, where
God's people will dwell with Him in pure and perfect joy and
abundance. But in Revelation chapter 22,
verse 15, we see a different picture.
It is a grim picture. Outside the holy city, it says.
Outside are the dogs and the sorcers and the sexually
immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves
and practice falsehood. Who are these people?
See violate non holy commandments of God.
They are called detestable dogs. We see them everywhere in our
culture. These are the sexually immoral,
the murderers, idolaters, the liars.
And it is striking that in Paul's letter to the
Corinthians, in First Corinthians 6 versus 9 to 10,
the apostle Paul listed almost the same list of these hardened
people who will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
They turn all garden temple. These are the sexually immoral
idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, the thieves, the
greedy, the dunk, the drunkards, the revilers and the swindlers.
Napaka familiar, no dahil, lagi nathin silanga, kita.
In our everyday life, we see, we see them everywhere, in every
place. And what is the place outside
the Holy City? It is The Eternal Lake of Fire,
Wilder, Landonio Manga. Cowardly, The Faithless, the
Detestable, The Murderers, the Sexually Morals and all liars
are cast. So we love it.
The Friends dance. Hebrews Chapter 9, verse 12.
We read that just as it is appointed for man to die once,
and after that comes judgment. It is a terrifying statement to
the unrepentant people, those who, like Adam, were driven out
of God's garden temple into eternal hell.
But the next verse is our blessed hope and comfort.
So cries, having offered once to bury the sins of many, will
appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those
who are eagerly waiting for him. Are we one of those who are
eagerly waiting for His return from heaven to take you in your
eternal garden paradise as the church?
Are you diligently working and keeping God's garden temple as
gardeners and garden? And we find images of both Adam
and the Garden of Eden. Before Adam fell he was blessed,
and he delighted in meditating on the law of the Lord day and
night. It was like a fruitful tree
planted in streams of water, prospering in all his work, you
know, free, full Adam was a picture of Jesus who delighted
in meditating on his Father's word.
Day and night, His life bore all the kinds of good fruits.
For Jesus himself is the living water.
Jesus is also the bread of life and the work of His Father
prospered in the hands of Jesus. The only way to eternal life,
the eternal Guardian Temple, is by faith alone in Christ alone.
As your Saviour, repent and believe today for the day, and
not any other day is the day of salvation.
Let us go on to the Lord in prayer.
Our God and Heavenly Father, we thank you for your word and
gospel. May we, as members of your
Church, be united and equipped to work and keep your church
together for the growth and edification of the body in love.
Grant us the wisdom and the strength to apply these truths
in our lives and within our community.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
