Trouble in Paradise (2 of 34)
by Jerry Vines
You may recall in the second chapter that we are given the account of how when God created Adam and Eve, He put them in the Garden of Eden. The last verse of chapter 2 is kind of the bridge between what you find in the 2nd and the 3rd chapter. I have read for you the historical account of what is wrong in the world. I have been noticing a lot of advertisements on television lately about reality TV. From the nature of the advertisements it's not something I care to put into my mind. I don't plan to watch any of them. But it seems that there is a trend for reality TV, to see things just as exactly as they are.That we have in Genesis...
The Fallen Man
by Rex Yancey
God created man and woman. His announcement was ''It is good.'' But then something happened. One of the most profound questions of all time is ''Why?'' Why would someone plant a bomb in a plane full of people? Why would someone blow up a federal building? Why would someone desecrate ancient monuments? Why would anyone kill people because they are Christians? Why do bad things happen to good people? Any attempt to find answers to these questions apart from God has been fruitless. Let's take a look at the day sin entered into human experience. 1. THE DIABOLICAL SERPENT Serpent means the shining one...
The Beginning of Sin (7 of 10)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: I want you to take God's Word now this morning and be finding your place at the 3rd chapter of Genesis if you would. Genesis chapter three and that's the first book of your bible. If its not, you've got the wrong Bible. But Genesis chapter 3, and this morning as we continue in our series of studies through this beginning book of the Bible that we've entitled, "The Book Of Beginnings," I want us to look at the beginning of sin. When did sin begin on this earth? ILLUS: Whenever I start to preach about sin, I always remember back to when I was pastoring in West Tennessee. Every Sunday morning when I would walk into the...
The Beginning of Our Problem (3 of 8)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Something happened. Something big happened! Anyone who has read the Bible recognizes the change. Between the end of Genesis 2 and the beginning of Genesis 4 everything changed. When we left Genesis 2, everything was right with the world. God had made a perfect creation. 'It's good. It's very good," the Creator had said over and over again. Adam and Eve were living in perfect peace in a perfect Garden prepared just for them. No hunger, no thirst, no disease, no fear. Not only that, God himself lived in close personal fellowship with the creatures made in his image. Life was good. That's Genesis 2....

Hiding from God and Finding Forgiveness
by Brian Fletcher
The first three chapters of Genesis set the stage for the rest of the Bible. Genesis 1-3 explain to us, where we came from, what's wrong with the world, and how it will be fixed. The entire Bible tells us of this unfolding story of God's unbelievable love toward a stubborn and rebellious people (us). This book is not just a bunch of rules and regulations, it's not a religious encyclopedia, it's not a moral textbook, it's not an owner's manual, it's one big fat love story, where page after page after page the God of the universe who created you in His own image is wooing you back to himself, he is actively pursuing you to flood your life with...
This I Believe: I Have Chose To Be A Sinner (2 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: (We opened with a Dorito's commercial that has Eve attempting to share the forbidden fruit with Adam and he rejects her offer - holding up a Dorito's Bag and saying "I'm good."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHSjpezHHcw) Now, I liked that. Not only was it humorous… but it a great point. The point? Adam and Eve had a choice.They didn't have to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. But God gave them ability to make that choice if they wanted to. They had a choice. Granted, there weren't any Doritos to eat in the Garden but there were plenty of other really good things to eat. Genesis 2:9 says "the...
From Sin To Salvation (11 of 48)
by Stan Coffey
INTRODUCTION: In this lesson Adam and Eve discover the vital, terrible, awful truth of Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." There is a saying that says "Life is short, death is sure, sin is the curse, and Christ is the cure." In this lesson we discover the curse of sin and the death it brings but also, praise God, we're going to find out something about the wonderful, glorious life that the Lord Jesus has provided for us. I. SIN TURNS TO SHAME - verse 7. Why does the Bible say that after they had sinned they feel naked? 1. It was not that they were not clothed before a. They...
Temptation (2 of 6)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION: Beatrice Webb- One of the architect of the modern British welfare system. She and her husband founded the London School of economics. she was a Socialist and an Activist. 1925 - In my diary 1890 I wrote I have staked all on the essential goodness of human nature. But now 35 years later I have discovered how permanent are the evil instincts and impulses within us and how little they seem to change - like greed for wealth and power and how mere social machinery will never change that. We ask better things from human nature but we never get a response. No amount of science or knowledge has been of any avail. And unless...
Effects of the Fall
by Joe Alain
Introduction: Prior to Genesis 3, the Garden of Eden was Paradise on earth! But that state of innocence and beauty came crashing down in chapter 3. The downfall began with a fatal choice to disobey God's word, the same way every tragic fall still occurs. Whether it was an apple, a peach or a pear really makes no difference. The choice to deliberately disobey God and ''do'' what God said was off limits, was the fatal error. Man decided he knew best and would be his own god. And there were tragic consequences that came about as a result of Adam and Eve's sin. While sin can be forgiven because of the work of Christ on the...
Forbidden Fruit (5 of 6)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to Genesis chapter 3, Genesis chapter 3. We have been in a series called "Understanding the Sexes: God's Plan and Blueprint for Men and for Women." Now let me ask this question: Guys, especially, how well, just without any kind of teaching, how well innately do you understand a woman? Does anybody say, "I understand a woman pretty well," anybody? Innately understand. No, we have to read tons of books about women. I heard one guy and he said this: "There are only two times when a man doesn't understand a woman, and that's before marriage and after marriage, just those two times." Women...
Satan's Four Spiritual Flaws (2 of 8)
by Stan Coffey
If you have you Bible I want us to turn to Genesis 3:1. Today I am speaking on the subject "Satan's Four Spiritual Flaws." We are in a series of messages on "Breaking The Lies That Bind." Our key verse is John 8:32 where Jesus said, "you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." The truth breaks the bondage of lies we have been taught by our culture. Lies that cause us guilt and shame, hurt, and misery. And the Lord can break those lies that bind us and shackle us and keep us from reaching the potential that God intended us to have in our lives. Well, Satan has not changed his tactics in all of these hundreds of...
Three Important Discoveries
by Ken Trivette
1. We can trace every problem in the world and in life to what we see happening in Genesis chapter three. Every death can be traced to Genesis chapter three. Every disease can be traced to Genesis chapter three. Every disappointment can be traced to Genesis chapter three. Sin, sickness, and sorrow find its beginning in this chapter. 2. A.W. Pink said of Genesis chapter three: "The third chapter of Genesis is one of the most important in all the Word of God. What has often been said of Genesis as a whole is peculiarly true of this chapter: it is the 'seed-plot of the Bible.' Here are the foundations upon which rest many of the cardinal...
Satan's Plan: Doubt or Distort God's Word
by John Barnett
When Jesus met the Devil in the wilderness, His only resource was God's Word--and that is the weapon Satan fears. That is why Satan's original temptation with Eve centered on her coming to a place of doubting or distorting God's Word. In a very real way each of us has within us the four basic spiritual flaws that Satan exploited as he introduced sin to Adam and Eve.Jesus explained it this way in John 8:44 (NAS): "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks...
The First Promise (5 of 7)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: I recently listened to a man named Chris tell of visiting his relatives in Kokomo, Indiana. One night his family took him out to and treated him to a special meal at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant. Sometime during the evening, Chris got up and went into the bathroom, and while he was there another man came into the restroom and was obviously distraught. The man was upset crying openly and Chris was moved to ask him what was wrong. And the man told him this story: He said he was there with relatives who were celebrating his retirement. But what they didn't know was that he'd been to see his doctor earlier that week and the...
The Beginning of Grace (9 of 9)
by Jonathan McLeod
And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them (v. 21). SCRIPTURE READING Genesis 3 ends tragically. Adam and Eve have sinned. Suffering and death have entered the world. And they are being removed from the garden of Eden. As they made their sad departure out of Eden, they might have asked themselves, ''Is there any hope for us?''[Read Gen. 3:20-24.] WE NEED HOPE Imagine you have been shipwrecked on a deserted island. What's the first thing you would try to do? (Perhaps you've watched Man Vs. Wild with Bear Grylls.) If you're ever in that kind of situation, it would be helpful to know...
Sin - Whose Fault Was it? (3 of 7)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: One of the most popular Christian Hymns of all time was written in the 1700's by a man named John Newton. Does anybody know the name of that hymn? (Amazing Grace) It's such a popular hymn that it has been sung by numerous singers down through the years including such artists as Arlo Guthrie to Fats Domino, Joan Baez, Destiny's Child, Mahalia Jackson, Judy Collins, Aretha Franklin, Rod Stewart, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. It's been sung acapella, it's been played on pipe organs and bagpipes, pianos, and guitars and it's been sung by everyone from Opera singers to rock stars. I read the comments of one person who...
Satan's Gonna Get It (1 of 8)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: I read the true story of a little girl who was sick and home from school. She and her mother got to talking about what they'd learned in Sunday School the day before and the little girl said: ''If it weren't for Adam and Eve, I wouldn't be sick.''Her mother was about to comment on that when the daughter then said: ''But, come to think about it, if they hadn't eaten that apple, we'd still be sitting around naked.''(Sarah Ames, Kobe, Japan) ILLUS: One night, a father heard his son in his bedroom saying: ''You're gonna get it... you're gonna get it.'' Curious, the father opened his son's door and asked what was going on and he saw his son...
Was The Devil Once A Talking Snake? (9 of 48)
by Stan Coffey
INTRODUCTION: Satan is a decided fact, Satan is a destructive force and Satan is also a defeated foe. We need to learn about the devil. The scripture says we're not to be ignorant of his devices. He has done all that he can to pull the veil of darkness across his kingdom so that we will not understand how he works. The scripture teaches that the devil is very methodical and here in the opening pages of God's Word we find something of the dark, devilish methods of Satan. I. DECEPTION A. First of all Satan appears where we would least expect him 1. We would least expect the devil to appear in the Garden...
What Went Wrong
by Ken Trivette
1. In the beginning there was a perfect planet and a perfect pair. Everything was healthy, happy, and holy. There was no sorrow or sickness. There was no cancer or crime. There was no tears or tragedies. There was no pain or problems. 2. What a contrast to the world today. I once read that every 24 hours, 93 Americans died from guns; 16,000 were raped, mugged, or robbed; 274 babies were born exposed to illicit drugs; 2,748 children quit school; Washington paid over $100 million to foreign creditors and interest on the debt; 355 U.S. companies went belly-up; and 5,500 Americans lost their jobs." 3. The FBI estimates that 83% of Americans will be victims of crime at some point in their lives...
