The God Who Unites, Genesis 2

Speaker: Rev. Dave Dorst Series: The God Who Is There- A Series in the Book of Genesis Topic: 1 Passage: Genesis 2:18–2:25

Genesis 2:18-25 starts with Adam exercising dominion on the earth by naming all the animals.  But as he's doing that, he realizes that he has no equal.  So God puts him to sleep and creates Eve, whom he awakes to and says, "Wow, look at that!"  The highest ideal of Christian marriage, where a man and a woman leave and cleave and become one flesh is rooted in this text.
