Independence is Impossible

In a garden full of beauty, provision, and fellowship with God, one voice whispered a lie that changed everything: “You will be like God.” It was a promise of independence—freedom from authority, freedom from limits, freedom to decide good and evil for ourselves. But that promise was empty.

Genesis 3 shows us the moment humanity tried to walk away from God, seeking autonomy over obedience. Instead of gaining freedom, Adam and Eve found shame, fear, and separation. What does this say about our modern attempts to “go it alone”? Can we really thrive without the One who made us?

Come hear Jo Ann Krulatz share how Genesis reveals the deeper truth: we were never made to be independent—we were made to walk with God.
