“The Law Of Love: Linking the Garden of Eden to the Garden of Calvary”

I want to thank the men of the “Catholic Men’s Retreat” of Wyoming for inviting me to speak to them about one my favorite subjects… typology!  In this series of 6 lectures we attempted to examine the question… why did Jesus have to suffer and die just to redeem us from our sin? If Jesus is God, then why not just “will” our redemption? To go through so much for us, the mocking, the stripes of the scourging, the crown of thorns, the out-pouring of his blood, being cut off from his people and nailed to a tree… there must have been a very good reason. In seeking the answer to this question we endeavor to become the “Man in the Garden!”

Testimonial:

Thank you for one of the most inspirational weekends of my life. You are much than “entertaining.” I learned more about the bible in one weekend than my whole life. I enjoyed our conversations  through out the whole trip. God bless you and your family. Thank you for everything you have done for me and the men at our retreat. When I get the pictures I will send them to you.

Kenny,

“Adam The High Priest: Serving in the Holy of Hollies in the garden of Eden!”

Today, we finish up chapter 2 of “A Father Who Keeps His Promises” by looking at creation as the macro temple and the garden of Eden as the Holy of Hollies. If there is a temple then there must have been priests! Adam compared to Aaron… Adam is the High Priest of the temple! This episode is PACKED full of great stuff! Enjoy.
