The Bible opens in a garden and closes in a garden. In between, Jesus is buried in a garden, raised in a garden, and mistaken for the gardener. That's not a coincidence.

In the first of a two-part finale to the PLACE series, Pastor Steven introduces the E: Ecosystem. The word itself comes from the Greek for "home" and the idea of an organized whole. National Geographic calls it a bubble of life. Steven traces garden imagery across the full arc of scripture, from Eden to Psalm 1 to John 15 to Revelation 22, and invites the church to see itself in these same terms: a living, interconnected community rooted in a particular place, where everything and everyone contributes to the flourishing of the whole. Part 2 next week will map that vision directly onto the life of First Baptist Church.
