A cool mist in the heat, and a daily walk with God Himself. It\u2019s what every song and every soul longs for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it\u2019s why, when Jesus burst from the tomb that first Easter morning, Mary thought he was the gardener! Because Easter is God\u2019s breathtaking promise to restore paradise to you through His crucified and risen Son. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So join us at First Protestant Church this Easter, April 5th, at 8am, 9.30, 11 \u2013 with a butterfly release at 10:30am. First Protestant is the spiritual home at the heart of the city, and we\u2019re saving a seat for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More on the topic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jesus is our only hope to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citieschurch.com\/sermons\/back-to-the-garden#:~:text=in%20the%20garden.-,Conclusion,-Let%20me%20close\">back to the garden of Eden<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Genesis%203&amp;version=NIV\">Genesis 3<\/a>, Adam &amp; Eve sinned, were clothed by God, and then pushed out of the Garden eastward \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/store.ancientfaith.com\/expulsion-of-adam-eve-from-the-garden-large-icon\/\">see image<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u2018penitent thief\u2019, named \u201cDysmas\u201d (which means \u201cwest), who was on the cross next to Jesus, is promised entry back into Paradise \u2013 through the western side!\u00a0 This is the \u201cthe back door\u201d to the Garden \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TYZbENs5YdQ?t=2202\">see sermon<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God the <a href=\"https:\/\/broadview.org\/if-jesus-were-a-gardener\/\">Gardener<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God\u2019s promise to restore paradise.
