Sermon

Cross Church
Speaker: Ryan Blackwell

Summary
Genesis 3 reveals six consequences of sin: spiritual warfare with Satan, amplified pain, relational conflict in marriage, futility in work and creation, physical death, and separation from God's presence. Though sin's curse is severe, God's grace through Jesus' incarnation, death, and resurrection offers redemption and restoration of broken fellowship.
Highlights
Sin isn't worth it. Your sin does have consequences and it will have consequences.
It's only on the dark backdrop of the curse of sin that what God has done for us can most beautifully be seen—in all of its brilliance of what God did that first Christmas.
If you expose your sin, Jesus will cover it. But if you choose to keep covering your sin, there will be a day He will expose it.
