ORIGINS: The Origin of Consequences

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Genesis 3:14-24 (Ephesians 2:1; Galatians 6:7-8; Genesis 2:17; 3:9-24; Numbers 32:23; Revelation 12:9; James 1:15; Romans 6:23; Hebrews 10:1; 1 Peter 2:24; John 16:33)

 

A universal question that we all have, "Why is life so hard?" I'm sure we have all asked this question as we work hard to provide and lead our families. We know the simple answer is, "Because of sin," but Genesis goes into great detail to help us understand the consequences of sin. The best part is how this passage ends! In the midst of pain and suffering, God gives hope!

 

Series description:

To understand life, we must understand where it all began. The question of, "Why are we here..." can be answered by, "Who made us." If we are here because of a cosmic accident, that means that we are part of a random accident that happened millions of years ago. But if we were created by a creator, then our life has purpose and meaning because we were planned and desired!

To understand life, we must understand our beginning! Origins will be an in-depth study of the first chapters of the Bible that explains the foundations and purpose for everything!
