Under the Apple Tree

"Under the Apple Tree" – Genesis 2:15-17, Romans 12:1-2

Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Confirmation Sunday, January 7, 2024.

Can one believe what both science and the Bible have to say? Dr. Anderson explores this question by looking to epiphanies under the apple tree by Adam and Eve, Sir Isaac Newton, and Karl Barth. "Though God is a mystery beyond proof, I believe in God because I have had my own epiphanies of being known, loved and claimed by God. Intellectually, I can’t prove it; I even doubt it sometimes. But my being loved and claimed by God defines me. I can’t prove it, but I’m trying to live it. That is my witness."
