10/16/2009, Sunday, FCF in-home church gathering. __ adults attending.
Below is the draft I used through-out my message.

Genesis 1:26-31, Genesis 2: 1-3
26 Then God said, ""Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion…over all the earth…27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it… 29 And God said, See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food…31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.
So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.[Ch.2] 1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And…[God]…rested on the seventh day…[3]God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it…we will talk about this another time, another sermon.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 19 …[every animal] brought them to Adam to see what he would call them…Adam gave names to [every animal] But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
NKJ: 22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And Adam said: This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.' 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
KJV: 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And the first school, in the Garden, was formed, with the Bush edict: leaf no child’s behind…
nobody supposed to have been ashamed, modestly clothed, yes, but not ashamed.

Cleave, not leave,
Husband and wife cleave; not ‘Eve and Eva’ or ‘Mad and Bad’ cleave
Cleave, not cleaver
Cleave until death, not cleave until we get tired of each other,
Cleave until death, not cleave until we find someone, something better,
Cleave until death do us part!

BW, it’s time, bring your book, you officiate, let’s have an RMS re-committal.
