The Fall

Pastor Funmi Ojetayo
Text: Genesis 3
Big Idea: Sin’s deceptive root bears devastating fruit—but God, in His lavish love, rescues us by His redeeming grace.

I. The Origin of Sin (vv. 1–7)
+ Doubting and Distorting God’s Word
+ Pride & Moral Autonomy: Reaching for God’s Throne
+ Desire: Temptation’s Triple Threat (Eyes, Flesh, Pride)

II. The Consequences of Sin (vv. 8–24)
+ Alienation: Separation from God and Each Other
+ Corruption: Broken Creation, Frustrated Work, Total Depravity

III. The Hope Beyond Sin (vv. 15, 21)
+ Covering: Grace Covers Shame (v. 21)
+ Covenant: The Promised Serpent-Crusher (v. 15)
