Genesis 3: 3-11
Our Scripture Reading Today Comes From Genesis 3: 3-11
This is God's Word.
If you were here last week, we started a sermon series on the book of Genesis, and if you are kind of new to Christianity or new to Bible study, Genesis is obviously the first book of the Bible, and it's incredibly foundational for understanding the rest of the Bible and for understanding all of life.

That is the way life was then. We don't know how long, but the man and the woman had total communion with God, with one another, and with the creation that they were ruling over. So, what we are supposed to gather from this passage is that all was right wit ...
