You can follow along on the screen behind me or in your bulletins. 00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:09.099 Starting in verse 1, we read, 00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:15.200 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. 00:00:15.939 --> 00:00:16.859 He said to the woman, 00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:22.080 Did God really say, You must not eat from any tree in the garden? 00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:24.640 The woman said to the serpent, 00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:27.640 We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:33.460 but God did say, You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, 00:00:33.859 --> 00:00:36.140 and you must not touch it, or you will die. 00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:40.859 You will not certainly die, the serpent said to the woman, 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.179 for God knows that when you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, 00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:49.060 and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. 00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:55.600 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.719 and also desirable for gaining wisdom, 00:00:58.380 --> 00:00:59.920 she took some and ate it. 00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:04.519 She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.299 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked, 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.760 so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:17.340 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God 00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:19.859 as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, 00:01:19.859 --> 00:01:23.079 and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.140 But the Lord God called to the man, 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:27.379 Where are you? 00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:29.099 He answered, 00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:32.140 I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid, 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.159 because I was naked, so I hid. 00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:35.659 And he said, 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:37.719 Who told you that you were naked? 00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:41.539 Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? 00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:43.680 The man said, 00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:46.060 The woman you put here with me, 00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:49.200 She gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. 00:01:51.219 --> 00:01:53.019 Then the Lord God said to the woman, 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.280 What is this you have done? 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:56.900 The woman said, 00:01:57.379 --> 00:01:59.620 The serpent deceived me, and I ate it. 00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:02.680 So the Lord God said to the serpent, 00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:04.879 Because you have done this, 00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:08.960 cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals. 00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:10.860 You will crawl on your belly, 00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:13.379 and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:16.240 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.199 and between your offspring and hers. 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.340 He will crush your head, 00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:22.299 and you will strike his heel. 00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:24.840 To the woman he said, 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.659 I will make your pains and childbearing very severe. 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.960 With painful labor you will give birth to children. 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.539 Your desire will be for your husband, 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.319 and he will rule over you. 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.659 To Adam he said, 00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:41.099 Because you listened to your wife, 00:02:41.099 --> 00:02:43.780 and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:45.519 you must not eat from it. 00:02:46.419 --> 00:02:48.439 Cursed is the ground because of you. 00:02:49.219 --> 00:02:51.539 Through painful toil you will eat fruit from it 00:02:51.539 --> 00:02:52.859 all the days of your life. 00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:56.039 It will produce thorns and thistles for you. 00:02:56.519 --> 00:02:58.000 You will eat the plants of the field. 00:02:58.740 --> 00:02:59.939 By the sweat of your brow, 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:01.639 you will eat your food 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.459 until you return to the ground. 00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:05.699 Since from it you were taken, 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:07.299 for dust you are, 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:08.900 and to dust you will return. 00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:09.840 This is God's word. 00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:15.879 Great. 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:17.659 Thank you, Soda, for praying. 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.020 Jaya, for reading. 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.560 Yeah, we're going to look at this passage together. 00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:24.340 But if we want God to speak to us, 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:25.200 we should pray. 00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:27.620 So why don't we do that first?
