"The Word is like a garden"


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only

Date Recorded: April 14, 2024

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

“The Word is like a garden…” (TC 259). “Build houses, plant gardens.” (Jeremiah 29:5))
Gardens feature prominently in the Scriptures, beginning with the Garden of Eden in Genesis and ending in Revelation with the garden appearing again, this time in the midst of the Holy City New Jerusalem. It’s significant too that the Lord chose to rise from the tomb in the midst of a garden. All of the physical delights of a garden - the sights, sounds, textures, smells, tastes – represent what happens when we invite the order and symmetry of the truths of the Lord’s Word into our lives. In this service we will explore the profound spiritual principle that our choices determine our spiritual environment.
