The Bible is a book about God's pursuit of man and what He has done through the offspring to reconcile creation back to Himself.

2) God works through promise and faith in the promise.

Religion is essentially a set of rules that we must do and receive reward for doing.  Christianity comes and tells us what has already been done and what we receive as reward for the doing of another, Jesus Christ.  

The Meta-Narrative | Four

6-26-16 Sunday Morning Audio- Sermon four in series on the Meta-Narrative of Scripture.  Fall.2 - How the fall has affected the creature.

Outline:

Creation-Fall-Redemption-Consummation

We do not want to watch the narrative of scripture as disinterested third parties.  This has very personal implications for us today.

The problems resulting from the fall are not only horizontal (between man and nature, or man and man) but the major problems are vertical, between God and man.

From Genesis 3-6 we see

1) Dis-union from God

2) Hatred of God

3) Judgement from God

Psalm 46:1-3

Episode 65

Isaiah 41:10

The Meta-Narrative | Three

6-5-16 Sunday Morning Audio.  Sermon three in series on the Meta-Narrative of Scripture.  How the fall has affected creation.

Outline:

Creation-Fall-Redemption-Consummation

Fall - There is a discontinuity between the world as God made it (good) and the world as we now know it (less than good). 

There is a deceiving that happened during the fall and that continues today. Adam and Eve were deceived

1) in their Aspirations (be like God)

2) in their Inclinations (desires for the creation over the Creator)

3) in their Identifications (self-determining) 

The fall results in condemnation for all.  But there is a promise even in the midst of the cursing from the fall.

Proto-evangelion.  The first Gospel. Genesis 3:15. The seed of the woman will bruise the head of the serpent and will himself be bruised in his heel.
