Sermon
Christmas in Genesis: Trouble in Paradise
Cross Church
Speaker: Jeff Crawford
December 13, 2022 · 34 min
Summary
Genesis 3 reveals how sin enters the world through Satan's deception of Eve, following a progression of false belief, misplaced desire, rebellion, and hiding. The pastor demonstrates that this same pattern repeats in every person's life today, and explains that Christmas exists because of Genesis 3—God's redemptive response to humanity's broken state.
Highlights
The first step of sin is not disobedience, it's the resentment of obedience.
God sees you. You just need to know that God sees you just as you are right now. He sees all that you have been and done in your life. Nothing in your life is hidden from God, nothing. And here's the great news. He loves you anyway.
Genesis 3 through Revelation is the story of God who loves us so much that He's gonna spend the rest of history putting it all back together.
