In this sermon, Pastor Partridge unpacks six biblical implications of masculine rule from Genesis 2, showing how God’s creation order establishes headship, work, and companionship before the fall. From Adam’s formation to his responsibility in the garden, we see how divine design shapes the foundation for marriage, family, and human purpose. 1. Created First: Adam’s creation before Eve reveals a creational order that points to masculine headship. 2. Moral Responsibility: God gave the moral command to Adam alone, making him accountable for the spiritual condition of the garden. 3. Helper Fit for Him: Eve was created as a complementary helper, equal in value yet distinct in role—designed to complete, not compete with, man. 4. Naming the Animals: Adam’s authority to name creation reflects his God-given leadership and stewardship. 5. Eve from Adam: Eve being formed from Adam’s rib symbolizes unity, love, and covenant oneness. 6. Naming Eve: Adam naming his wife expresses covenantal headship and affection, establishing God’s divine order in marriage and family. Pastor Partridge concludes by connecting Eden to eternity: just as Adam was placed in paradise to work and worship, believers will one day serve and rejoice in the restored creation—free from sin, clothed in righteousness, and living in perfect fellowship with God.
