This audio recording captures a sermon delivered by Pastor Jim West on April 6, 2025, focusing on the biblical book of Genesis, specifically chapter 2. The sermon explores the creation narrative, highlighting that work was intended as a positive aspect of human flourishing before the fall of man. Pastor West discusses the significance of the two named trees in the Garden of Eden: the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, emphasizing that the latter was not inherently bad but represented a boundary set by God. The central theme revolves around love as a choice, arguing that God gave humanity free will to choose to love and obey Him, illustrating this through the command regarding the forbidden tree and drawing parallels to parent-child relationships. Ultimately, the sermon posits that humanity's purpose is to love God, and this love is expressed through obedience and trusting God's established parameters for life, a concept exemplified by Jesus Christ's life and sacrifice.
