Returning to Genesis again, we explore the biblical theme of Eden as humanity’s original mission—to extend the boundaries of God’s garden-temple into the whole world. We trace how that calling was fractured through the fall, yet continually echoed throughout Scripture as God’s plan for restoration unfolds. Ultimately, we consider how this purpose is reclaimed through the church—practically lived out in local communities on mission and in the ordinary, faithful obedience of everyday life.
