Divine Decisions | Pastor Jon Neitzell

Sep 28, 2025    Pastor Jon Neitzell

In this powerful exploration of choice and temptation, we delve into the timeless story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The central message revolves around the profound impact of our decisions and the importance of trusting God's wisdom. We're reminded that every tree in the garden was good, including the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The problem wasn't the tree itself, but the choice to disobey God's command. This narrative challenges us to examine our own lives and the choices we make daily. Are we trusting in God's guidance, or are we falling for the age-old deception of 'Did God really say?' We're encouraged to reflect on how we might be adding unnecessary burdens to God's commands, much like Eve did when she added 'neither shall you touch it' to God's original instruction. This message invites us to embrace the freedom found in simple obedience to God, reminding us that His love for us isn't dependent on our performance, but on our faith in Christ.
