Session 1: Life Between Two Trees
The Bible begins and ends with the tree of life. But life between these two trees is hard. Confusion abounds. Frustration ignites. So where do we turn? How do we overcome?
Session 2: The Mystery of Eden – What happened in the Garden?
The problem of Eden is far worse than we assume. For sin is more than just breaking a rule; according to Genesis 3, its union with death.
Session 3: The Tree of Death
When love became flesh, why did we kill it? United with Death, we speak, think, and act as death does. Even in the face of God-in-the-flesh.
Session 4: The Tree Between Two Trees – The Cross of Christ
If the problem of Eden is far worse than first thought, then the solution is far more beautiful than imagined. The cross of Christ honors death even as it undoes it.
Session 5: He Has Done It
No story could be more grotesque than if God abandons us in our pain. Yet, Christ sings Psalm 22 from the cross to reveal just the opposite.
Session 6: Permission – The Path to Transformation
The first step to transformation is permission, for even Christians can deny Jesus access to their hearts and lives.
Session 7: From Death to Giving Life
To sin is not to “be human,” but in fact, sin makes us “less than human.” Thus, the cross of Christ not only takes away our sin but calls to stop sinning.
Session 8: The God Between Two Trees – The Power of With
If I had to pick just one word to describe the Lord, I would choose the word “with.” He longs to be “with us” and “us with him.”
