    Context is always important when we study the Bible. Genesis 1 gives us a complete narration of creation; Genesis 2 retells the story in order to fill in the details concerning the creation of man and the construction of marriage.

    Marriage as it’s Meant to Be Genesis 2:18-25 Rev. Brian Bill 11/13/05 Two weeks ago we established that singleness is good, it’s a gift, and it can be used to bring glory to God.

    For once, Jesus is worshiped appropriately and publicly for who He actually was. Authentic worship results in our obeying Jesus completely, loving others impartially and praising Him wholeheartedly, and when we do, the world asks, Who is This?

    Ever since the Garden of Eden, there have been those that question the existence of God. Many who acknowledge that God exist, will say that God is distant.
