The world is falling apart. That statement is not meant to be hyperbole or to arouse fear, it's simply a reflection of what we see in the world.

We hear about the "facts" in the world that support this: animals going into extinction, river beds drying up, ice caps melting, and a consistent rise in global temperatures (so far as we have been documenting them).

But what's the point? For some, the point IS to raise fear + concern, because that (some believe) will arouse activity to reverse what we see. For others, the silencing of these "facts" serves to encourage our own procuring from creation its many benefits.

These are the two narratives we're often presented with. But is there a third?

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin traces the biblical narrative of Creation - and humanity's connection to it. As you listen, consider which story has shaped your thoughts on this topic, and how the Biblical story reframes it. And then, you might ask, "how then shall we live?"

In this sermon, we're looking at Genesis 3:8-13 where God goes looking for Adam and Eve. They hear him coming so they hide. But, God shows up with the question "Where are you?"

In this sermon, you will hear that because of our sin we are separated from God. But, because of God's great love, he comes to us when we are still sinners.

This is the first sermon in a series called The Fall based on Genesis 3. This series will walk through 5 separations that occur when sin enters the world. In this first sermon, we look at the first separation that occurred - the separation between people.
