We continue on our journey through the Bible in Little Church!
Genesis chapters 2-3, People.
The Main Ideas:
The Garden was a happy place where people lived connected to God, to each other, to their inside selves, and to creation.
God always loves us, no matter what.
God cares for us in the middle of hard moments.
When connections between God, each other, ourselves, and creation are broken it does not mean we are separated from God.
We are not God's robots.
A Big Question:
If God dreams of a world that works in ways that match who God is, why is the world often the opposite--greedy instead of generous, mean instead of kind, hurt instead of happy?
Podcast:
Here is the Ask Away episode with this story. And another one called How Sin Came Into the World. This one is a Q & A with kids about How Sin Came Into the World and this one too, The Snake One.
They are short episodes, great for car rides with kids!
