From Sin to Stepping Stone by Autumn Dickson This week we get to read about how Adam and Eve made their way out of the garden and into the world that we know today. There are principles here that can change how you see your own efforts to follow Christ. Some of the principles we read about this week have the power to bring you out of perfectionism and into true salvation because they are not the same thing. Background on the verse we're about to read: Moses is learning about Satan because Satan had recently come to him to tempt him. The Lord starts to teach Moses about the man who was trying to get Moses to worship him, specifically about Satan's role in the beginning of the Plan of Salvation. Moses 4:6 And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away many after him,) and he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world. Satan wanted to tempt Eve in order to destroy the world. He wanted to destroy the plan of God because he was mad. Despite his original pleadings to come down and save everyone and bring them all home, now Satan threw away his supposed love for us and merely sought to destroy what God was planning. He was a fraud; he never loved us. He just wanted glory and honor. There is beautiful irony here. Satan would have destroyed God's plan if he had left Adam and Eve alone, but he knew not the mind of God. He didn't know that tempting Eve and convincing her to sin was part of the plan. One more time. He didn't know that tempting Eve and convincing her to sin was part of the plan. I want to switch up the verse just a little bit. I'm going to put in my name. You put in your's. Moses 4:6 And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away many after him,) and he sought also to beguile Autumn, for he knew not the mind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world. Satan tempts me because even though he already lost his chance to destroy the plan with Adam and Eve and then again with Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, he wants to destroy the effects of the plan in my life. There is beautiful irony here. Sin was part of the plan, and not just as some unfortunate byproduct of a fallen world. It was one of the most powerful tools utilized to save Adam and Eve. Let me explain myself. Let's pretend for a moment that Satan predicted the mind of God and left Adam and Eve alone. We would have remained in the exact state where we were. Adam and Eve would have remained innocent in the garden, and we would have stayed in our heavenly home with God. God's plan would have been thwarted. No sin would have occurred, but no true happiness would have occurred either. Sin was part of the plan, and not just as some byproduct of a fallen world. Sinning teaches us powerful lessons. Now we have to be careful with this principle and have the right attitude towards it. I don't teach this principle so that someone feels like they can go try cocaine in order to learn that it's bad. That's ridiculous. I'm not even teaching that it's okay to lie or cheat so that you can learn your lessons. I'm not teaching that it's okay to go sin as long as your purpose is an education. I am trying to break apart the ridiculous arguments of perfectionism. We came here to grow and become. Our purpose in life should not be to stand frozen and still so that we don't do anything wrong. Our methods should not include berating ourselves into perfection. We were meant to come down here and return to live with God, prepared to live His life and participate in His work. How do we get from Point A to Point B? There are a lot of ways we acquire that growth. One of those ways is sinning. I have learned so much from reflecting on the times that I screwed up. This doesn't give us license to go out and sin on purpose for the supposed goal of learning because that doesn't get you to Point B. If you're using “learning” as an excuse to sin, you're not returning to God, prepared to live His life and participate in His work. Rather, this gives you license to look at your sins the way Adam and Eve came to look at their sins. Here is another verse from this week. Adam and Eve sinned. They disobeyed God and were driven out of the garden. They toiled, suffered, had children, and offered sacrifices to God. One day, an angel came to them and taught them about Christ. The angel told them that they could be redeemed after they sinned and return to live with God again. Moses 5:10-11 10 And in that day Adam blessed God and was filled, and began to prophesy concerning all the families of the earth, saying: Blessed be the name of God, for because of my transgression my eyes are opened, and in this life I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God. 11 And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient. They rejoiced. Because of his transgression, Adam's eyes were opened. He got to experience joy because he had transgressed and he still had an opportunity to return to live with God whom he knew personally and loved. Eve rejoiced that she learned the difference between good and evil as well as the joy of Christ paying for them to come home. We don't look at a choice ahead of us and disobey God in the name of learning good from evil. However, we do have permission to look back at our transgressions through the lens of a testimony of Christ. We rejoice that He took our sins and turned them into powerful stepping stones that brought us closer to Christ. Honestly, it makes me think of the Come Back podcast. Some of the stories we hear about on that podcast are so incredibly powerful. People learned from their mistakes and found rejoicing in Christ. We can find that too. We don't have to let our sins weigh us down unto death. We can rejoice in Christ's ability to save us from our sins and utilize our sins to help us become prepared to live God's life and participate in His work. When we beat ourselves up with perfectionism over our mistakes, it's only because we don't yet know the mind of God. Satan wants you to believe that your sins and transgressions are the end of the story, that he's destroyed you. He has since learned that his desire to thwart God's plan ironically fell apart because of his own participation in that plan, but if he can keep you from understanding that, then he can win a couple of battles even if he can't win the war. He doesn't want you to know the mind of God which is offering you joy, peace, and salvation. Thwart Satan. Let go of everything that keeps you from the feelings associated with salvation, namely shame and guilt that has been blown out of proportion and continues to hold you down. Rejoice! Gain a testimony of Christ like Adam and Eve did. I testify that God didn't fear Adam and Eve's transgressions. He knew it would happen. He planned on it. It needed to happen. I testify that God isn't afraid of your sins; why would He be? They're already paid for and taken care of. Sometimes the only thing holding us back from salvation is our own inability to know the mind of God and let go of the sins that were already paid for. I testify of Christ's saving power, and I testify that gaining a true testimony of that power can light up your life like you've never experienced.

On Today's Episodes: Prager delves into the story of Adam and Eve, exploring the complexities of the biblical account of creation. He discusses the serpent's role in tempting Eve, the consequences of eating from the Tree of Knowledge, and the implications of human knowledge and free will. Prager also examines the relationship between Adam and Eve, including their conversation with God after the fall, and the significance of the names given to their children, Cain and Abel. This thought-provoking conversation touches on themes of morality, free will, and the human condition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The LORD does not give the serpent a chance to speak. Instead, the LORD quickly speaks concerning the defeat of the devil at the hands of the Offspring of the woman. This Savior will be the Wounded Victor. As God's people wait for the Savior to come, both woman and man will experience the brokenness they have brought into the world because of their sin. Still, Adam and Eve believe the LORD's promise. He clothes them in animal skins as He drives them from the Garden, barring the way to return to the tree of life, yet setting the stage for the rest of the story by which He will bring them back into His presence.

January 19-25Creation, fall, redemption. These are the three pillars of eternity, the story that was Adam and Eve's and ours too. It is one grand picture. We think of a book like the Old Testament as being dusty and very far away from us, but in reality it is our first story. It is our story. We think of the war in heaven that first set Satan on his path to put men and women in bondage and chains as something that was handled and finished eons ago, but in reality, that war in heaven was just the first skirmish of a war that is raging ever hotter by the year.
Out of God's good order described in Genesis 2, the devil begins to work disorder in Genesis 3. He cunningly tempts the woman to question God's Word before blatantly claiming that God's Word is evil and false. Although the woman initially recalls God's Word, she is deceived into believing the devil's lie, and her husband shockingly sins right along with her. The effects are disastrous, but the LORD God is quick with His mercy. He calls His children to repentance, and He promises that He will send the Offspring of the woman to suffer for His people and so defeat sin, death, and devil. Rev. David Appold, pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Paducah, KY, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 3:1-15.

When we are tempted, we doubt God's goodness. Yet in our disobedience, God draws near intentionally, patiently, and sacrificially, as we see in Genesis 3. Join us as we unpack this topic in our new series, "One Story: The God Who Draws Near."
In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines: Find Their Messiah in the Old Testament, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the Fall of Adam and Eve through the lens of Moses 4 and Genesis 3, highlighting how careful attention to language, context, and covenant reveals Jesus Christ at the center of the story. Rather than portraying Eve as reckless or malicious, Dr. Wilson explains that the Hebrew text suggests growth, perception, and timing—Eve sought wisdom, but before the appointed time and outside the proper divine order. The Fall is shown not simply as a mistake, but as a necessary step in humanity's journey toward knowledge, accountability, and ultimately redemption. Dr. Wilson emphasizes the profound symbolism of nakedness and covering, teaching that Adam and Eve's attempt to clothe themselves with fig leaves represents human self-reliance, while God's gift of coats of skins represents divine atonement. The Hebrew concept of kaffar, meaning “covering,” points directly to Christ's role in covering humanity's sin and vulnerability. The Lord's questions—“Where goest thou?”—underscore that disobedience moves us away from God, yet His response is still merciful, structured around accountability, repentance, and hope rather than abandonment. Ultimately, this lesson reframes the banishment from Eden as an act of mercy, not punishment. By preventing Adam and Eve from partaking of the tree of life too soon, God ensures they have time to repent and be spiritually prepared. Throughout the narrative, Christ emerges as the promised seed who will overcome Satan and restore what was lost. Through scripture that is carefully illuminated and faithfully defended, Lynne Hilton Wilson shows how the stories of the Old Testament—even those involving transgression, sorrow, and consequence—are deeply rooted in the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.

With new insights added, author Bruce C. E. Fleming rereads chapter 1 of "The Book of Eden on Genesis 2-3." A river caught on fire?? Yes, because of pollution flowing on top of it. A verse on fire? Yes, because of mistranslation covering over the Hebrew words underlying Genesis 3:16. Discover the great words of this verse and its place in the passage on the Garden of Eden. Importantly, we learn that God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way! The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader?

Questions about evil and suffering are difficult for anyone; and yet the Bible does provide answers and today we'll look at the Fall of Man in Genesis 3, but specifically God's solution to Evil. The answers may surprise us! So, please join us in this foundational passage on why there is evil and suffering and what God is doing about it. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Draw a box around Genesis 3:15. This is one of the most important verses in the entire Bible. Why? What hope does this give to us? 2. Using different underlining methods (for example: a single underline, double underline, or dash) underline God's judgments on Satan, Adam, and Eve. What is different about how each person will experience the curse? Why do you think men and women experience the curse differently? How do we all experience all aspects of the curse? 3. How did Satan tempt Eve to doubt God's integrity? What is the significance of the fact that Satan used lies and deception to cause Eve to question God? How does Satan sometimes deceive people into doubting God today? 4. Once Satan twisted Eve's understanding of God, she was more amenable to sin. In what ways does a twisted understanding of God's Word also lead to a twisted understanding of God? How might this make a person more willing to sin? 5. What does sin look like in the Bible? What does it look like in our world today? How about in our own lives? 6. When Adam sinned, "what" did he want to learn about? How does this same root desire still manifest itself in our lives today? 7. In many ways, the "curse" that mankind currently experiences can be summarized as God allowing the evil that man wanted to know about to exist in our world. What promise and hope does God give regarding a Savior, in Genesis 3:15? 8. Who is Genesis 3:15 speaking of and what will He one day do? How is getting crushed on the head far worse than being wounded on the heel? How did Jesus fulfill this promise? 9. After the fall, Adam and Eve began to have conflict in their home. How does this passage help us understand the conflict that sometimes arises in our homes today? 10. Did God's command to work come before or after the Fall? How does the curse impact our work experiences today? What kinds of things can a person do to minimize this impact? 11. What do we learn from the account of God making clothes for Adam and Eve made of animal skins? What does this teach us about God's loving mercy and provision for His people? Why do we need God to "cover" our sin? 12. According to the study, why did God send Adam and Eve from the garden? What would be so bad about living forever in a state that was eternally separated from God? What hope does this give us about our future? 13. How does this study help us answer the question, "Why doesn't God do something about the pain and suffering in the world?" How does this answer give us hope and comfort as we still live in a world that "knows evil"? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Genesis 3-5; Psalms 4-6; Matthew 2-3
In Genesis 3 we have the record of how sin first entered the world through the yielding to temptation by the first created humans - Adam and Eve. The Apostle Paul says also, that at this time death also first came to the Adamic creation as a result of sin - Romans 5verses12. Adam and Eve after their creation - Adam from the dust (Genesis 2verses7), and Eve from Adam's side during a God-induced sleep (2verses20-25) - the man unable to find a suitable partner from the lesser creation; and feeling first, lonely; then joyous with a compatible companion. Chapter 3 commences with an introduction to the snake, who at that era had great powers of observation; limited reasoning capacity; and the ability to talk. The snake suggested that Adam and Eve were being deceived and held back by the Elohim (God). And so, after seeing the fruit of the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" was attractive (pleasant to the eyes); it was good, and an excellent quality (good for food); and its clinching appeal - "a tree to be desired to make one wise" (the pride of life. Paul tells us in Philippians 2 that Adam and Eve grasped for equality with God - which thing our Lord Jesus Christ never did when tempted. The Apostle John tells us in his first letter chapter 2verses15-17 that all temptation and sin fall in one or more of these categories. Having sinned they were expelled from the garden; James tells us in chapter 1 the process of sin within every human mind -verses 13-15. Having disobeyed God, He the Almighty must in justice enforce the law He had given. Adam and Eve now had the sentence of death activated within them - this is called "mortality". What was possible before transgressing was now "a law within them" (Romans 7verses21-25) - i.e. now an inevitability. The human race now found that from this point forward all descendants from the first human parents found that sin cannot be overcome in their lives every time that each of us is subjected to temptation -Romans 6 tells us that they were bond slaves to sin. It required God to produce a Saviour, His Son, who although bearing the bias to sin within himself; this being the entail of the effects of Adam and Eve's first sin, would himself be sinless - though Jesus was of our identical nature (Hebrews 2verses12-18.

What if the greatest message of Christmas isn't about perfection—but about being found? In Come Out Wherever You Are, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a gripping, soul-stirring Christmas Eve message that peels back the layers of human hiding and divine pursuit. Just like a child's game of hide-and-seek, we once longed to be found. But as life unfolds, we trade innocent laughter for layers of shame, pain, pride, and secrets. We don't hide to be found anymore—we hide to stay hidden. But on this sacred night, God calls into the darkness of your life with the most powerful words: “Come out, come out, wherever you are.” Drawing from Genesis 3, John 8:12, and 1 Peter 2:9, this message reveals how hiding disconnects us from God and how the light of Christ was never meant to expose us—but to save us. You'll journey through the Garden with Adam and Eve, confront the deceptive bait of the enemy, and rediscover the relentless love of a God who walks through every shadow just to find you. This isn't just a sermon—it's a divine invitation. A call to step out of the dark and into the light. To stop managing your image and start living in your identity. To stop coping and start healing. This Christmas Eve, you don't have to run. You can be found. You can be free. You can step into the Light.
Today we're reading Genesis 3:20-24 where Adam is exiled from the tree of life. After Adam and Eve sin, God casts them away from the tree of life. And, at the east of the garden, God stations spiritual guardians to prevent anyone from finding the way back to the tree of life. Have you ever wondered why God places a flaming sword and cherubim? Why does God mention the East? And why does He making coverings for Adam and Eve? Is there a deeper message underneath all of this that we've possibly missed? To really see the spiritual wisdom here, we need to understand how this connects to God's fiery presence in the sacred temple.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

Not only 'Mary did you know?' but 'Eve did you know?' And THEY DID! The promise of the Savior was first made in the Garden of Eden. Eve and her daughter Mary both believed the promise made by God back in the Beginning. It should deepen our awe at this season of the year! Merry Christmas to you and yours from Joy and Bruce and the entire Tru316 Family!To celebrate we have marked down all four volumes in The Eden Book Series by 33%! Here is a link to the first one: https://a.co/d/gNXevOu The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader?
