The Fall of Mankind

Dear CrossPointe,

This Sunday we’ll look at Genesis 3, maybe the most depressing chapter in the Bible. And yet, even in the midst of the despair that Adam and Eve’s rebellion has caused, we see the first glimmer of gospel hope and the beginning of redemption.

As I said when we started Genesis, understanding these early chapters is foundational for understanding the Bible as a whole. This is particularly true of Genesis 3 as we look at the consequences of the fall and the state of mankind before God.

Take some time to read this chapter a few times before Sunday. (For what it’s worth, this would also be a great Sunday to invite an unbelieving friend or unconnected Christian.) I’m looking forward to seeing you all!

I love being one of your pastors,

Brad
