Grasping for Godhood with Joshua LiemGenesis 2:25-3:24In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve grasp for godhood, seeking wisdom and control on their own terms… and the world begins its descent into chaos. This Sunday, we'll explore the deception of the serpent, the fall of humanity, and the profound contrast between their grasping and Christ's humility in Philippians 2. Join us as we uncover the hope hidden within the curses and reflect on how God's mercy points us to a Savior who did not grasp for power but gave himself for us. Come ready to wrestle with questions and discover a fresh perspective on this ancient story.DQs:What stands out to you about the serpent's method of deception in Genesis 3? How do you see similar tactics at work today?Why do you think Adam and Eve's sin was described as “grasping for godhood”? How does this contrast with Jesus' humility in Philippians 2?What role does trust in God's timing and provision play in resisting temptation? How can we grow in that trust?Discuss the nature of the consequences in Genesis 3. Do you see them as punishments, warnings, or something else? Why?How does the idea of Adam's passivity shape your understanding of sin and responsibility? What lessons can we draw from it?Do you find it comforting or challenging that God sought Adam and Eve after they sinned? How does this shape your view of God's character?What does it mean to you that Adam named his wife “Eve” after the curses were pronounced? Where do you see signs of hope even in difficult circumstances?How does this passage challenge or affirm your view of gender roles and equality? Further Resources :Amanda W.

In this episode we discuss a legendary biblical figure, and the first women, Eve. We talk about her “alleged” sins and how it affected her and future generations. Then we cover how she has been depicted in both history and modern day pop-culture. Finally we wrap up by considering how different translations, literary studies, and science have challenged this biblical figure.

BACKLOG In this episode: We love so much stuff! Honestly, we love pretty much everything! So we need a system to organize it all because our free time is limited. Void has a fantastic queue system that takes the pain away: just pick what’s at the top and hit the ground running. Make a list of all the media you want to consume, and then start working your way down it. (Yes, it’s more complicated than that, but that’s why we talk about it in the show!) Wunderlist works great for organization. Weekly Geekery: Void - Empires of EVE: A History of the Great Wars of EVE Online / Wunderlist Beej - Pokemon: Omega Ruby Health Hack: Instead of calories, think about much would you would have to work out to burn off that cake?
