TODAY’S SERMON
Today is a new year – a new start. How are we going to spend our time in 2012 compared to last year? God’s word is the best place to go for new beginnings. Genesis 4 is the beginning of woman.
In Genesis 3 we find the first mention of Satan. We learn that he is subtle, crafty, sneaky, and the chief liar. Like a lion, he is seeking the earth for people to devour. Satan offers the pleasures of sin for a season. Sin is like a cancer. It destroys the body, the soul, and affects your loved ones. The wages of sin is death.
When Adam and Eve took the bite from the forbidden fruit, it plunged them and everybody born after them into sin. How can we enter into the presence of a holy God if we have sin? Only by accepting His Son, Jesus Christ, the sacrificial lamb on the cross, dying for the sins of all people.
For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
What a great way to start the new year.
