The Consequences of Sin (7 of 61)
In the Beginning
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Primary Scripture: Genesis 3:7-19
If you have your Bible, please turn to Genesis chapter 3. We want to talk about The Consequences of Sin.

And the serpent, who is the devil and Satan, as it says in Revelation chapter 12, the serpent came in and he deceived Eve, and Eve ate of the fruit and gave to her husband with her, and he ate o ...
