Flash Forward

This Sunday we will continue our exploration of Genesis 3 in search for what it means to be human. We will focus on the first 5 verses with particular attention paid to the serpents question, "Did God say...?" It presents as such an innocent question, as though the serpent was merely seeking further information. But in fact, inherent in the question is the seed of mistrust which the serpent planted in both Eve's and Adam's hearts, the reverberations of which powerfully affect us today. The sermon will focus particularly on this notion of sin as fundamental mistrust, a mistrust that has generalized to all of our relationships.
