In this challenging message, Robert Kornegay explores the fallout of the Fall in Genesis 3. He focuses on the specific questions God asked Adam and Eve after their disobedience, illustrating that God wasn't seeking information, but inviting a deep heart examination. The sermon bridges the gap between the Garden of Eden and the Great Judgment, asking us to consider whose voice we are truly obeying today.
-- The distinction between innocence and ignorance, and how sin shifts our focus from God to a fractured self-consciousness.
-- How shame creates a cycle of hiding and blame-shifting that mirrors our modern attempts to excuse sin.
-- The parallel between Adam’s excuses and the "false assurance" of religious people described by Jesus in Matthew 7.
-- A call to return to the clear, unadulterated commands of Scripture regarding worship, the Lord’s Supper, and baptism.
-- The danger of "marking down" the price of God's commands to fit our personal convenience or cultural preferences.
