The First: Deception-Sin-Consequences
Journey of Beginnings The First: Deception-Sin-Consequences Scripture: Genesis chapter 3 Three cunning tactics of Satan exposed: 1. He tries to instill doubt and unbelief in what God says. (verse 1a) 2. He tries to create confusion with what God says . (verse 1b) 3. He tries to imply that she is being deprived by God. (verse 4) The “set up” for deception and what to watch out for: 1. Overstating the restriction; feeling slighted (verse 2a) 2. Understating the consequences; not connecting the dots (verse 2b) 3. The fruit looked good, pleasant, and desirable - the addictive three (verse 6) The big unanswered question: Where is Adam, the dear husband and fearless leader? (verse 6) 1. Eve was being deceived. (1 Timothy 2:14 2. Adam walked into disobedience knowing better. (1Timothy 2:14) Two destructive ways in responding to guilt: 1. To hide and try a false cover for our shame. (verse 7,10,11) 2. To blame someone or something. (verse 12,13) The consequences of sin: 1. Serpent- you are cursed above all, crawl on your belly and eat dust all your life. There will be enmity between you and the woman. Her offspring will crush your head. (verse 14,15) 2. Woman-Your pain in childbearing will be severe. There will be tension as to who is in charge, but he (your husband) will rule over you. (verse 16) 3. Adam-cursed is the ground, it will produce thorns and thistles and you will work hard all your life. (verse 17-19) LORD God-“Adam and Eve, where are you?” 1. Jesus made cloths for them from an animal sacrifice (verse 22) 2. As an act of mercy He protected them from eating of the tree of life and living forever in their sin. (verse 22-24) 3. The very first promise of the coming Savior. (Gen. 3:15)

Part 2: A People Who Know God
God created humanity to live in community--community with one another and with God. This perfect community was shattered during the Fall and the result is the world we now live in--a world characterized by conflict. God's redemptive plan for the world is unveiled in the good news to Abraham; Abraham is promised a people who know God. God will restore his people to one another and to himself.

More time?
Modern life features intense time pressures, from work but also time wasting pursuits like television. These hinder us from spending time with God and with other people - breaking Jesus' commandments. We need to accept that Jesus has redeemed time on the cross, and accept that into our lives. Then we will devote more time to things of eternal value such as prayer, prayer, worship, meditation on scripture, service, love….and rest, While various practical ideas can be suggested to bring this about, the core issue is devoting more time to listening to God - then he will direct the rest of our time to better use.

Get Out of My Garden
In the book of Genesis we see the first instance of God's fury towards mankind when he banishes Adam and Eve from the Garden, and places upon them the curse of death. In this message we will see how Adam and Eve ignored the Word of God, the Goodness of God, the Fury of God, and the intelligence of God. We will also examine the question of why it is we are still alive, and why God didn't destroy the human race.
