What is a period of time, a moment in time, or a memory you look back on fondly in your life?
How often do you get to the end of the day and wish you had a personal "recap button" to help you remember what happened that day?
Greg shared that Eden exists because of love and relationship, not God’s need. How does that challenge or affirm your view of God?
How does the concept of Eden as a sacred dwelling place shape the way we understand later biblical themes—such as the tabernacle, the temple, or the incarnation of Jesus?
When you’re most anxious, distracted, or discouraged, what truths about God are easiest for you to forget?

Psalm 136:1-9.

Greg shared that the entire OT points to the moment in which Jesus goes to the cross and we participated in communion, the sacrament Jesus gave us to remember that sacrifice.

Lord -
You are the creator of all things and you made us in your image. You did this not because you needed to or were bored, but because you love us and want to have a relationship with us. Our first parents broke that relationship and we do to. Thank you for sending us your son, Jesus, to make a way for us to restore that relationship with you. Help us to remember your goodness, faithfulness, mercy and love each and every day. Amen.
