  • 2 Corinthians

    • 11:29Genesis 3:10

      And so they run in Genesis 3.10 and Adam says this, they're hiding and, and they say, I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. So I hid. That's exactly what the world teaches us to do in the nakedness of our sin. The world says, trust yourself, but doubt God. That's what the world teaches us. So when we see our insecurities, our failures, our shame, we run from the voice of the Lord,

  • Jeremiah

    • 9:15Genesis 3

      Yeah, I wonder if we truly understand how terrifying that phrase is. That God banished his covenant people from his presence. And if you think, if I think that that would not happen to me or to you, you need to read the Bible. Genesis 3. Adam and Eve, who had communed with God in the garden because they were perfect and righteous and whole as God had made them.

    Micah

    • 21:56Genesis 3:22

      what is just? Rejecting God's word leads to shameful, moral confusion. Leads to moral confusion. This exact word to know echoes from Genesis and humanity's first rebellion began with a distortion of knowing. The distortion of moral confusion. Genesis 3.22, after the fall, the Lord God said, since the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.

  • Matthew

    Kings and Kingdoms

    • 12:40Genesis 3

      If you go back with me all the way to Genesis 1 and 2, as we read, we see that God speaks the earth into existence. He sparks life. He establishes order. And then he forms a relationship with mankind, Adam and Eve. But then we get to Genesis 3 and we see that because of sin, man can no longer dwell in harmony with God and brokenness enters the world.

      is not true to make the pressure eternal weight of glory release a little bit. Don't let the world gaslight you. This is from the Satanic Playbook 101. Now, often the world doesn't know they're doing this but what does Satan say in Genesis chapter 3 when he comes and tempts man and woman? He says, why don't you eat? Look how lovely the fruit is. Eat. If we eat of this we will die. And the Satanic

    Esther

    • 20:09Genesis 3

      He will not ignore his righteous law in our lives. So think about the law that was written in Genesis chapter 3. Because sin entered the world, we now see and know that the wages of sin, God's law says that the consequences of sin is death. Now, Satan would say, well, did God really say that? God just doesn't want you to be like him.

  • When in Romans: God Did (Romans 8:1-11)

    March 11, 2024 · Dr Josh Burnham

    When in Romans

    • 22:45Genesis 3

      So you cannot be a friend of God and be hostile to Him in your soul. Again, there's no middle grounds. Hostility is this Genesis language that mankind is at odds with the Lord because of our sin. Genesis 3, 15, 15, 15, 16, and 17. That the Lord says to the serpent, there will be hostility between you, your seed, and the woman's seed because of sin. And then he says to Satan, and one day you will strike the heel of the seed of Eve.

      word for a hyphen. One of the coders left out a hyphen in the code. So you might call this an 18.5 million dollar hyphen mistake. Sometimes small changes have drastic consequences. And it's not NASA that knows this alone. The great adversary, Satan, understands us. Take, for instance, Genesis chapter three in verse one. The Lord tells Adam and Eve, first man and first woman in history, it says,

  • Christmas Is A Curse Broken (Genesis 3:8-9)

    December 3, 2023 · Dr Josh Burnham

    Christmas is...

    • 6:00Genesis 3:8

      And what type of joy must it be to break such an evil blight that exists upon our world? So we're going to go back to the beginning. We're going to start Christmas in the book of Genesis. In Genesis chapter 3, verse 8 and 9, point us to a curse, thorns, and the curse breaker. Today's message is entitled, Christmas is a curse broken.

    • 6:34Genesis 3

      Today's message is entitled, Christmas is a curse broken. Christmas is a curse broken. So Genesis is the first book in the Bible. If you notice, my Bible is having a hard time staying open to the first book. So just find your Bible and turn until it looks like mine. Then you'll find Genesis chapter 3.

  • The Mind of a Disciple

    • 3:51Genesis 3:16

      Actually, there is a hero. It's a man that Genesis looked forward to. You remember when sin came into the world, God in Genesis 3.16, which we call the early gospel, the Proto-Evangelion, says this to Eve. He said, you will have a seed. You will give birth to this person. And the snake will bruise his heel, but this person will crush the head of the…

    Dear Church

    • 9:04Genesis 3:8

      To say another way, they chose their own way instead of God's way. So listen to how Genesis describes it. Again, Genesis chapter 3, verse 8. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze. And they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Now let's stop there. As if they could hide from God. Right? But that's what sin does to us.

      Can you imagine the cosmos saying, God, it can't end like this, can it? God, you let your son die? It can't end here. And I can imagine that Satan was remembering the garden scene in Genesis 3. Where God curses him. But in that curse, God says to the serpent, the great adversary,

    Faith Over Fear

    • 34:27Genesis 3:15

      And in this God reminds us of Genesis 3.15. He says, I will put hostility speaking to Satan I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. Satan you will strike his heel but Jesus Christ the Messiah will crush your head. So we read this text and we say well, so what? How do we live this out?

    Facts

    • 20:17Genesis 3

      It says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." It wasn't just enough to be created, okay? God created us. But sin, something came along. And we're in Genesis 1, Genesis 2. What happens in Genesis 3? Sin comes along and then separates us from God. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, you and I inherited that sin. And because we inherited, we're sinners. Every one of us. Every one of us. And sometimes, this is…

    • 32:08Genesis 3

      that is our hope. That is our life. You see, from the very beginning Satan has used words to destroy and to question our faithfulness and to question the faithfulness of God on our behalf. You remember what Satan said in Genesis 3 to Adam and Eve? Yeah, you're with God and you're perfect but you know that whole tree of life and good and evil thing? did God

    • 27:18Genesis 3

      And unfortunately for many of us, this story sounds completely foreign to each and every one of us because we only know the consequences. We don't know what it was like in the garden. We don't know what it was like to be holy and perfect and righteous. You see, when we turn away from God, it's personal. But God, despite their rebellion, made them this promise in Genesis 3. Genesis 3:15, the first gospel.

    • 27:24Genesis 3:15

      Genesis 3:15, the first gospel. God said this. He says to the serpent, which is Satan, the tempter, the adversary, I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He, this Messiah, one day will strike your head and you will strike your heel. Why is this important? Because Christmas has always been the story of relationship and community.

      Naked. And God doesn't want us to be naked, does he? Think back to the Garden of Eden in Genesis chapter 3. Adam and Eve realize they've sinned and that they're naked and they find these leaves that are inadequate. In the first sacrifice in the Bible, God kills an animal and he clothes them with adequate clothes. So don't…

And my relationship is eternally broken. And not only that in Genesis 3, that God cursed snakes. Can I get an amen for that? Right? He cursed the land. So now that our work is difficult, we're sweating like I'm doing right now. And there will be thorns and there will be struggles in the…

    • 29:26Genesis 3

      We see in Genesis, and this is a repetitious theme throughout scripture. This is what we call the meta narrative. We see in Genesis three that when Adam and Eve sin, what happens to them? Yes, they will die. Yes, they have their found that they are naked. And for some of you, that's the worst thing that could ever happen to you is realize I am in public…

    • 29:46Genesis 3

      What is the worst thing that happens in Genesis three, verse 24? We see that the Lord drove the man out and stationed the cherubim and the flaming cherubs before them. Whirling the sword east of the Garden of Eden to guard the way of the tree of life. That God removed them from his presence. You see the fall and your sin has banished you from the presence of God.

      He did it in Genesis. That's what he did to Eve. In Genesis chapter 3. He gave her peace about what she was doing. No, it's okay to eat the fruit. You won't die. Surely. And so, that happens today. That was happening here in Jonah. You have peace about it. It's okay. Don't look to peace in your heart as a guide for your life.

    • 3:30Genesis 3

      So from the beginning, work equals worship. But here is our difficulty. We don't live in paradise. We live in unparadise. That's even a word. We live in a place where we are bound by sin and broken in our relationships. And that also means that now our work is broken. You say, well, what do you mean by that? If you look at Genesis 3, you have to go there right now. But one of the curses of our sin was in childbirth, there will be pain.

    • 27:10Genesis 3

      …that we see over and over and over again in Scripture. Since the beginning of time, the kingdom of darkness, the world has tried to stamp out the light of Jesus Christ. I want you to track with me through history. Genesis chapter 3. God creates a man and woman, Adam and Eve, and they are living with God in the garden, right? So they are face to face with God. And so a snake, a serpent comes, and we know that's Satan, and he tries to interrupt the…

    • 27:37Genesis 3

      …know that's Satan, and he tries to interrupt the kingdom of light. He tries to interrupt the light of Jesus Christ, and he goes to Eve and says, are you sure? And that's often the question posed to us. And so even in Genesis 3, the sin entered into the man and the woman, and they were kicked out of the presence of God. Sin in our life breaks relationship with God. But before they were kicked out, God looks at Satan and says this, from the…

When Adam and Eve were exiled from the presence of God in Genesis 3, 24, and from their access to the tree of life, they went east. They went eastward to reenter the garden, they would have to travel west.

      It pains him. Your brokenness pains the Lord. He is not a king who sits on his throne ignoring his people. He is a God that is intricately involved with your life. Your brokenness hurts God. It doesn't take away from his Godship. It doesn't make him any less God. But your pain causes him his pain. And actually, in Genesis 3, the same word here in pain is the same word that God spoke to Eve when he said,

    • 12:35Genesis 3

      Now this is, we'll see next week, we're going to look at Genesis 3, the sin, fall of man. This is pre-sin. But our relationship, Adam and Eve's relationship depended on the image of God. You and I enjoy a special relationship with the Creator that animals do not, that mountains do not, that angels do not, because we have the image of God within us. Our relationship with the Lord depends upon the image of God in our life.

    • 38:23Genesis 3

      Lastly, I want to share this with you, though, about image. We are created in the image of God, Genesis 1, 26, before Genesis 3. So does everyone agree Genesis 1 comes before Genesis 3? Next week, we're going to look in Genesis 3, that we have the catastrophic fall of sin in the world. And because of one sin, man's eternally kicked out of the…

      We see it. We feel it. Sometimes our heart groans because of the losses that we see in our world today. So we live in a broken world. We live in a fallen world. The Bible says that all creation has been subject to fertility because of what happened in Genesis 3. And that means hard pressed. It's not what it used to be.

God's eternal, God's eternal redemptive plan began to unfold in the human history in the Garden of Eden, Genesis chapter 3. He promised a Savior who would one day redeem the human race from the effects of that sin.
