Why is the world full of hardship, pain, and death? Genesis 3 provides the answer. This chapter introduces the conflict at the heart of the Christian Story: the entrance of sin into the world and its devastating consequences.
Yet, even in humanity's darkest moment, God’s grace and the promise of redemption shine through.
In this sermon, Pastor Mace Perez unpacks:
📖 How the serpent’s deception led humanity to doubt the goodness and trustworthiness of God.
📖 The tragic consequences of Adam and Eve’s disobedience—guilt, shame, fear, and broken relationships.
📖 God's confrontation, humanity’s blame-shifting, and the curses upon creation.
📖 The protoevangelium (Genesis 3:15): God’s promise of a Savior to crush the serpent.
📖 How glimpses of hope point to Jesus—the Seed of the Woman—who died to defeat sin and death.
This message is not just a look back at what went wrong in Genesis 3 but a reminder of the hope we have through Christ. Jesus provides atonement for our sin and restores the way to eternal life for those who believe in Him.
