Eve and the serpent are alike in one way: They both have descendants. "The seed of the woman" - we know that's Jesus, signified by the virgin birth. And it's those of us who are adopted into the family. But who is, or who are, the "seed of the serpent?" I want to hear Jim's fish story again, then we'll conclude his message, The Serpent and the Seed.

It's not politically correct to say that there are two kinds of people in the world - and one kind is the seed of Satan! Jesus, you remember, said to the religious hypocrites, "You are of your father, the devil." But the concept is much older than that. As Adam, Eve and the Serpent stood before God in that open-air courtroom, the Creator prophesied what would happen between the "seed of the serpent" and the "seed of the woman."

As we seek to understand this world, some of us are missing a vital bit of information. "All the world's a stage," Shakespeare wrote. We're all born into the middle of a drama we haven't learned. Even the set and the other players are unfamiliar to us. As we engage in the process of discovering who and where we are, we'll be mistaken if we don't acquire one fact: This world is not as it once was, and not as it will be Today Jim explains the change, in his sermon, The Dark Invader.

When Christians talk about people being "lost," what do we mean? If we want to know why the world is as it is, and why the word "human" is a synonym for "error-prone," we have to dig in to the third chapter of Genesis. So we'll go back there today to look at it from a new angle: What is this thing called sin? How did it get here? And what did it do to us, today, before we even knew about it? Jim will deal with this deep theological subject in a practical way; using experiences and feelings we can all relate to.

After our first parents had sinned the first sin, and brought death upon themselves, God intervened to prevent something even worse. Banishment from the Garden was a punishment, but primarily it was a protection. Adam and Eve were dead, spiritually, but that condition could still be reversed. Maybe that's part of what Jim has in mind with his title, For Our Sake, the sermon we began listening to yesterday. He'll talk a bit more about the nature of sin, and the lie that's underneath it. We're back in Genesis, chapter 3 for today's Right Start.

Eve had tested God's words scientifically, empirically, and found them to be false. Or so she and Adam thought. Hope you had a great Christmas. As you can tell, we're getting right back into our Genesis series today. Adam and Eve were having a wonderful afternoon. They had trusted their own senses and were still standing. God was wrong, the snake was right, and they must have been feeling very godlike. Until the day began to cool, and they heard footsteps. Here's Pastor Jim in Genesis, chapter 3.

Eve is still speaking. Yesterday we said that we can, from the Scriptures, make out a message from the very first woman on earth. Eve would tell us about the sanctity of children; about sorrow; she would teach us to respect the sayings of God; and that there is a serpent in the garden whose lies are poison. Today we pick up Jim's message, Eve: the Mother of us All, with a lesson from our grandmother about sin, and its price. She'll also tell us about sacrifice, and the prophecy of the "Seed of the woman."

Today we bring a message from your great grandmother. Well, your great, great, great, great, great, great.... The first woman, Eve, lived a life of unimaginable joy, and profound sorrow. If she could speak to us, she would surely have some wisdom to pass along. And in a way, she can get her message to us - through all the years and generations - in the pages of Scripture. In our review of the book of origins, Genesis, Pastor Jim will bring us a new sermon called, Eve: The Mother of us All. Let's learn from Eve's mistakes, and also from her hope, and faith. We'll be in Genesis 3, with Jim.

The devil has never updated his lie - and why would he, if the old one is still working? Has God really said...? Surely you must have misinterpreted. Maybe He doesn't have your best interests at heart ... Sound familiar? When Satan spoke to Eve he projected his own warped nature onto God. He would later tempt Jesus the same way, and today you and I hear that same slander. Can we trust God? And, can we trust Moses to tell us what really happened back there in the Garden? Today we'll review a bit, then conclude The Subtle Serpent Said. Here's Pastor Jim.

When a snake talked, he spoke with a forked tongue. The world as it is demands an explanation. Either the Creator is defective, as the Gnostics taught, or something happened after the perfect God created His "very good" world. There is a twist - a serpentine twist - to the tale. Then the question becomes, is this story plausible, or is it just a story? Pastor Jim will give us some background on a snake who was not like the ones we see today. His message is called, The Subtle Serpent Said.
