Gardens: Growing an Evergreen Faith in a Trustworthy God

Move from Spiritual Exhaustion to a Hopeful Future

Experience God’s redemptive power as you study God’s Word and find your place in the biblical story of redemption. The Storyline Project Bible studies guide you through a theme in the Old and New Testament while helping you develop a biblical imagination and the skills to connect each highlighted story to the unified story of scripture.

The Gardens Bible study will guide you through five Bible stories set within gardens. The presence of these places in the Scriptures is a key element in the story, revealing something about God—and about us. We will be on a journey to find the paradise that’s been lost—and we will discover that we flourish when we trust the character and work of the Good Gardener who plants and replants.

In the Gardens Bible study, we’re going to explore:

• The Garden of Eden, Genesis 1-3: where God shows the path to flourishing,
• The Garden of King Ahasuerus, Esther 1;-7: where Queen Vashti stood up to the drunken king and we see humanity’s need for restored relationships,
• The Garden of Gethsemane, John 18-19: where Jesus wrestled with his sacrifice,
• The Garden Tomb, John 20: where Jesus revealed himself to Mary Magdalene,
• The Garden City, Revelation 21-22: where God replants Christians in the New Jerusalem.
