1
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:05,700
It's good to see you guys this 
morning. 

2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:07,700
My name is Kyle service lead 
Pastor here. 

3
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:10,100
If you're visiting today, I want
to say thanks for being here. 

4
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:13,700
Glad you're here, worship with 
us, I'm going to have you turn 

5
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:17,000
to your Bibles to two places in 
your Bibles today. 

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,100
First, we'll look at a verse in 
Romans 11. 

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,400
We'll look at verse 36 here in a
moment and then the bulk of our 

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,800
reading really will come from 
Genesis chapter 3. 

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,500
But you can look at, you know, 
you can kind of hold your finger

10
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:32,299
at one. 
If you want. 

11
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:33,800
I'll read a couple of verses 
from there. 

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,600
But largely will be in Genesis 
chapter 3 as we expound on what 

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,100
we're going to see in Romans 11.
So they were going to go 

14
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,300
together. 
But today, what we're doing is 

15
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:48,200
we're starting a new series 
series is called what happens 

16
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,100
when we worship. 
And so, in this series of the 

17
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,900
next 13 weeks, we're going to 
examine the Theology of worship,

18
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:00,200
the anatomy of worship, and what
we should do in response to 

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,000
those things that we see in 
God's word, going to look at How

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,400
do we worship? 
But what happens when we worship

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,800
today? 
Our topic is created to worship.

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,500
You have been created to 
worship. 

23
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:19,200
You are created for worship, you
are wired for worship. 

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,100
And so I want to talk to you 
about the origin. 

25
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:25,400
The purpose, the means of 
worship and and help that inform

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,500
the lives that we live. 
Hopefully in worship to the 

27
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,300
Lord. 
And so if you would, would you 

28
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:34,200
stand with me as we read a 
Romans 11:36? 

29
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:42,300
It's allowed. 
God's word says, in Romans 11:36

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,500
for from him. 
That is from the Lord and 

31
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:55,800
through him, and to him are all 
things to him, be glory forever.

32
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:59,300
Amen. 
This is God's. 

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,900
Holy word. 
Thanks be to God. 

34
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:05,100
Let me pray. 
Heavenly Father we praise you 

35
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:13,600
for your word and a verse as 
simple as Only several words. 

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,000
Says so much about why. 
We're here. 

37
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,700
What our purpose is how we got 
here. 

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,900
The Lord is my hope. 
It is my prayer that today, we 

39
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:32,000
would see from your word that we
were created for worship. 

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,400
And in many ways we are always 
worshipping. 

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,700
Father is you were well aware at
times we get our worship wrong. 

42
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:48,300
At times, we worship in ways 
that we, like, we worship things

43
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,000
that we think are worth 
worshiping. 

44
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,100
And so, our worship is misplaced
misunderstood at times. 

45
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,700
It's sinful. 
So Lord, we ask that you would 

46
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,800
help us to regain as we go 
through this series over the 

47
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,000
next few weeks. 
We gain an understanding of what

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,900
Biblical worship is that you 
have not been silent on worship,

49
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,300
but that you have spoken clearly
from your word on how we are to 

50
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:19,200
worship. 
So Lord help us to grasp that 

51
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Vision, help us to understand 
your word, help us to apply it. 

52
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:28,200
So Lord, we in that prayer, we 
are desperate for your Holy 

53
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Spirit to give us insight to 
give us understanding and 

54
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,600
knowledge and wisdom on how to 
apply it. 

55
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:39,500
Or we need you to sanctify, our 
hearts and Minds by your spirit,

56
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:41,600
through the washing of your word
today. 

57
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,700
We are dependent upon you as we 
open up your word as we read 

58
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,300
from it, as we see it. 
So, Lord, I pray that you help 

59
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:53,300
me along in this help me to 
proclaim the excellencies of 

60
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:57,600
Christ today. 
It having heard today. 

61
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,300
The people do not hear Kyle they
hear Christ reach. 

62
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:07,800
That his word is a bomb into 
their souls, that it's not me. 

63
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:13,700
Lord help us to be devoted fully
to your son, Jesus Christ, name 

64
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:15,100
I pray. 
Amen. 

65
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,100
Amen. 
You may be seated So when I say 

66
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:23,400
worship, which I've said 
multiple times already, it's 

67
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,000
most likely that you envisioned 
like the singing part of the 

68
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,700
service, right? 
When we say worship often, we 

69
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:32,200
think that worship is, its, are 
singing. 

70
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:37,700
And that's really, by Design 
over the last several decades, 

71
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,000
and depending on your church 
background, you may even 

72
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,600
Envision like private singing to
God in your home or maybe even 

73
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
your in your chair at church, 
you know. 

74
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,900
We're kind of raised at times to
think that worship happen. 

75
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,500
Right there in your seat or your
Pew. 

76
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,500
And it's just between you and 
the Lord. 

77
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:58,400
And it's really, it's all about 
your experience. 

78
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,300
These understandings are the 
result of what we might call the

79
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,900
Contemporary worship movements, 
which is really popular. 

80
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:11,200
It's done a lot for church 
growth, it's done a lot for 

81
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,100
modernizing things and not that 
everything that's come out of. 

82
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:20,600
It has been wrong but much of it
is misplaced by Design. 

83
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,300
There's really a long history 
that we don't have time to get 

84
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:28,100
into fully today. 
And so, I'd like to just provide

85
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:33,000
a brief explanation of the roots
of contemporary worship. 

86
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,100
Contemporary worship, the idea 
that it's about your singing and

87
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:41,600
that singing must move you to 
some emotional feeling kind of 

88
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,900
stir you up in some way, the 
roots of that or Pentecostalism 

89
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:51,200
and revivalism the birth out of 
those things of a goal and 

90
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,300
Pentecostalism or Pentecostal 
worship is to provide the 

91
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:59,400
worshipper with A personal 
experience with God, a personal 

92
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,900
encounter with God. 
And so, you'll hear that 

93
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:08,600
language often that you come and
see the presence of God, come 

94
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,200
experience the presence of God 
With Us, come experience, a move

95
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,200
of the spirit. 
God is on the move here. 

96
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:19,500
God is doing great things in 
this worship service. 

97
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400
You know, you don't want to miss
this. 

98
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:27,500
And that's that is its purpose 
is to stir up the emotions of 

99
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:32,200
the worshipper so much so that 
he or she feels like they have 

100
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,400
worshipped God. 
There's Goose he's and there's 

101
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:42,500
chills and there's palpitating 
heart beats and maybe sweat 

102
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,600
revivalism is really much in the
same vein. 

103
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:50,700
They kind of entered the scene 
really around the same time as 

104
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:54,200
in the 1800s and revivalism got 
its jump. 

105
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Start with a man named Charles 
Finney. 

106
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,400
He's really kind of the founder 
of revivalism in the 1800's, a 

107
00:07:00,407 --> 00:07:03,800
finished purpose, Finney was a 
traveling preacher and he would 

108
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:07,600
preach Revival services and his 
purpose for these. 

109
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,700
Revival Services was to stir up 
the emotions of those in 

110
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:17,000
attendance so much so that it 
forced them to make a decision 

111
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,200
for Jesus. 
Am I call these salvations? 

112
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,000
They might call them decisions 
but it was a decision is MM. 

113
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,400
It's just largely based on their
emotions. 

114
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,600
He was playing on the emotions 
of the congregation in song. 

115
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,700
How many of you know that song 
Moves you right like you hear a 

116
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,500
song and you go back to moments 
in your life where you first 

117
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,100
heard that song over that song 
is connected to some feeling or 

118
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,100
something, right? 
For should I have a song that 

119
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,000
you know, that we share? 
Air between us. 

120
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,600
That's it's a, you know, a lot 
of songs so when I hear that 

121
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,000
song played my mind is in 
raptured with just visions of 

122
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,200
Patricia, like all the moments 
we've had in our life, right? 

123
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,500
This is what music does? 
It moves people? 

124
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,200
It's created by God to move 
people. 

125
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:10,800
But it's like any tool that God 
gives us can be misused and so 

126
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Finney would play on the 
emotions of the congregation in 

127
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,600
song. 
He would especially do this in 

128
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,400
his preaching and most of all he
would do it with emotionally 

129
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,300
driven altar calls. 
Then he was quoted. 

130
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:27,500
He wanted to find these quotes 
about this was he says, yes, the

131
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:31,000
spirit works, but we must work 
first. 

132
00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:34,299
Did you see how that is 
backwards? 

133
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:37,799
Yes, the spirit works. 
But we must work first. 

134
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:42,400
So, this makes God dependent 
upon us for all things 

135
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,000
pertaining to our godliness. 
It puts man first, he must move 

136
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,800
if God is going to move. 
And so, contemporary worship 

137
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,200
takes shape in light of early 
Western Pentecostalism and 

138
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,600
revivalism it has been a wide 
sweeping movement over the last 

139
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,300
several decades. 
Now throughout church history, 

140
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:05,500
worship has sorry, worship was 
understood as the entire Lord's 

141
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,700
day service. 
We us why we call this our 

142
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:11,400
worship service, over. 
When we come together to worship

143
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,600
God, it's not that we just come 
together to sing. 

144
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400
We come to seeing, yes, but we 
come to pray together. 

145
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,200
We come to hear the word Todd. 
We come to preach the word. 

146
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,300
We come to read the scriptures, 
we come to celebrate the Lord's 

147
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:25,000
Supper like we'll do today. 
We come for baptisms when we 

148
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,700
have those right? 
There's lots of things about. 

149
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:31,300
There's several things that go 
into a worship service. 

150
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:35,800
But the emphasis in contemporary
worship is is on the worshipper.

151
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:44,400
it's on the the song part of the
service, especially And so, the 

152
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,000
emphasis is taken off of the one
being worshipped. 

153
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,700
And it's put on the one who is 
worshipping songs are written 

154
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:54,200
and performed in such a way, as,
to stir up, the emotions of the 

155
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600
worshipper to manipulate their 
feelings. 

156
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,200
So that they feel like they have
worship, which might lead to a 

157
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:05,000
greater response during the 
altar call, if a church has one 

158
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,600
and largely, it's emotional 
manipulation. 

159
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:13,000
Most of us have been discipled 
in this most of us. 

160
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,500
Just, this is learned behavior 
and so I don't really blame 

161
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:19,500
congregations for this. 
I blame leaders for this blame 

162
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:24,400
pastors for this. 
It happens in churches across 

163
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,600
the globe, it happens in 
churches across our County, it's

164
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,300
happening right now. 
I've attended several of these 

165
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:34,700
churches, in my time in 
Magnolia, which is a life. 

166
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,500
The service starts large often 
with an upbeat song, the song of

167
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:45,100
praise and then it moves into a 
slower song and then oftentimes 

168
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:48,400
an even more slower song which 
is called worship song. 

169
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,200
The first song is a praise song,
these songs are now worship 

170
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,500
songs and before it might it'll 
finally wrap up with a fourth 

171
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,600
song that is either another 
upbeat song or a slow song 

172
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,400
depending on what is planned for
the sermon that day. 

173
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,700
So the transition to the sermon 
becomes easier based on what 

174
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:10,900
kind of song you end with when 
the preacher is finished. 

175
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400
You sing something like just as 
I am 17 times until people 

176
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,400
respond to the preachers call 
appropriately, right? 

177
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:21,300
Until the spirit has moved. 
I can remember sitting in 

178
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:25,000
worship services and the 
preachers saying, you know, at 

179
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:28,200
12:15. 
After he's preached, after we've

180
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,500
seen more, more singing is 
happening. 

181
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:34,100
More calling upon the holy 
spirit to move on us is 

182
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,100
happening. 
And he's saying, we're not 

183
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,700
leaving this place. 
Until we sense the presence of 

184
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:42,500
the spirit. 
It's wrong. 

185
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,900
It's false teaching. 
It's ungodly. 

186
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,600
It's sacerdote ilysm really is 
what it is. 

187
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,600
It's and and that means that it 
is. 

188
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,300
It's all about the emotions of 
something and you're having to 

189
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,500
sacrifice sacramentalism. 
Sorry, it's all about. 

190
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,800
The things that are being 
performed to make the certain 

191
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:08,200
experience happen. 
It's Roman Catholic and approach

192
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,000
is what it is. 
And so the service starts that 

193
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800
way and ends that way. 
And the result is an emotionally

194
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,100
manipulative people go away 
thinking that they have 

195
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,800
experienced God possibly even 
responding and what they think 

196
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,300
or they're told is Faith In 
Jesus because they raise their 

197
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:27,600
hand and the preacher. 
Pray to congregational prayer 

198
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,400
over them. 
And then what happens, these 

199
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,100
people who have this emotional 
stirred up experience flame out 

200
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:41,200
at some point, because Emotions,
Don't Last, you can't carry that

201
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,000
emotional High into the rest of 
your life, that emotional high 

202
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,600
was caused by everything 
happening in that service, that 

203
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,700
force, that person to make that 
decision. 

204
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:54,400
You can't maintain that in your 
daily lives, the Christian Life,

205
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,300
as we say, around here, as 
Eugene, Peterson wants to. 

206
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,200
It's a long Ants in the same 
direction. 

207
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:05,700
Right, it's day after day waking
up and living for the lord, it's

208
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:08,200
showing up to worship services 
and worshiping god with the 

209
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,000
congregation. 
It's not about stirring up. 

210
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,400
Emotions are emotions that go 
into it. 

211
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:18,000
Absolutely, absolutely. 
Their emotions that go into 

212
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,800
Charles Finney also said this. 
He said a Revival is not a 

213
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:29,100
miracle. 
What a Revival is not a miracle 

214
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:32,300
or dependent on a miracle in any
sense. 

215
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:36,800
It is purely philosophic. 
That means it's scientific. 

216
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,300
It can be figured out, it's the 
result of the right use of the 

217
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:42,600
constituted means. 
What's he saying? 

218
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,300
You get all the right elements 
together. 

219
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:46,900
You'd all the right pieces 
together and you perform them in

220
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:50,000
the exact way. 
You will have Revival. 

221
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,100
We see this today is churches 
still practiced planned. 

222
00:13:57,100 --> 00:14:02,300
Revivals weekly revivals? 
Who in the lot of the same 

223
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,600
things that they would say they 
disagree with. 

224
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,000
Emotions of such worship might 
be good the motivation. 

225
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,300
Sorry, if such worship may be 
good, but there is a better way.

226
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:16,100
There's a far better way. 
There's God's way to doing this.

227
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:20,400
The problem with such worship is
that man is the standard of 

228
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,300
worship. 
He is the center of worship, 

229
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:26,000
your starting with the 
congregation, and you're saying,

230
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,900
let's do what he or she needs to
have an emotional experience. 

231
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:35,300
You're starting with the leaders
who are saying, we need to make 

232
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:38,600
this. 
This happen, it's manipulated 

233
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,300
for man's purposes, God's 
purposes. 

234
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,200
These people are not truly 
trying to build the kingdom of 

235
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,200
God, man cannot be the standard 
of Godly worship because Godly 

236
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:59,400
worship is decided by God Alone.
Jonathan Cruz wrote this in a 

237
00:14:59,408 --> 00:15:02,200
book he said worship is 
Meaningful, not because of what 

238
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,500
we do, but because of what God 
is doing and in and through Us 

239
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:14,100
by his spirit, Therefore, we 
must not only sanctify Our 

240
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:18,000
Lives. 
We must sanctify our worship 

241
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,500
also. 
But none of us disagrees that 

242
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:24,100
our lives, should be Sanctified 
that we should be putting away, 

243
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,000
sinful thoughts. 
If you got a problem with lust, 

244
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,000
you should put that away, right?
None of us is going to argue 

245
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,900
that. 
If you got a problem with anger,

246
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:35,000
you're angry at a brother, 
you're angry at a sister. 

247
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,200
You're like, you should put that
away, you got a problem with 

248
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,900
bitterness, you should be 
depending upon the Lord to help 

249
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:43,000
you put that away, right? 
None of us is saying, we 

250
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,800
shouldn't be sanctified But when
it comes to our worship, we 

251
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,500
often think there's no need to 
sanctify it. 

252
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:54,500
But it's not true. 
Like, there's reason to grow in 

253
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:57,000
what we understand about God, 
and how we worship God, and to 

254
00:15:57,008 --> 00:15:59,400
look into his word and see what 
it says about worship. 

255
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,600
And to see is what we're doing 
aligning with what God's word 

256
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,400
says about worship. 
The let him sanctify our 

257
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,200
worship. 
So I want to put before you 

258
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:17,800
today this really kind of basic 
big idea but worshiping God his 

259
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,700
way is the most important thing 
you will ever do in your life. 

260
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:28,000
Learning how to worship God. 
His way is, the most important 

261
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,500
thing you will ever do in your 
life. 

262
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:36,800
In fact, you were created to 
worship. 

263
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Why God created you was to be a 
worshipper? 

264
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:47,400
Romans 11:36 again, says, for 
from him and through him, and to

265
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,000
him are all things to him, be 
glory forever. 

266
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,600
Amen. 
First phrase, therefore from him

267
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:04,700
from him, are all things. 
The Apostle Paul here is telling

268
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:08,900
us that all things originated 
from God. 

269
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:13,700
From him are all things. 
That means out of God, comes all

270
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:15,800
things. 
This is what happens in creation

271
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,200
will look a little more at that 
in a moment. 

272
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,300
He is the source of all things. 
Amen. 

273
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,800
Through him are all things for 
from him and through, him are 

274
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,500
all things through him. 
Are all things, all things have 

275
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:38,000
their life. and their function 
and they're being because of God

276
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,100
who created them, they came out 
of him and so therefore they 

277
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:46,900
exist, what through him He 
decides their existence, they 

278
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:50,800
have life because of him, for 
from him, and through him are 

279
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,800
all things. 
And so if it's from him and it's

280
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,500
through him, then once it's in, 
it's to him, right? 

281
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,400
To him are all things for from 
him and through him. 

282
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:07,800
And to him are all things, all 
things, find their end in God. 

283
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:16,000
A plant that grows. 
Sprouts up from a seed or from 

284
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:18,100
something that was germinated, 
right? 

285
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,600
This plant Springs forth out of 
the ground. 

286
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,600
What is it doing? 
It's worshiping God. 

287
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,200
It's doing exactly what it was 
created to do. 

288
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,500
All right, it's living according
to the will of God for its life.

289
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:41,300
And so it exists all creation 
exists unto God. 

290
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:44,900
Only we might say it this way. 
Got us to Source the life. 

291
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,700
And the end of all things is the
source of life, in the end of 

292
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:50,900
all things to him, alone belongs
the glory. 

293
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,600
No. 
See Apostle Paul says the glory 

294
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:58,500
not Glory but the glory the 
apostles saying that Supreme 

295
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:03,600
Glory belongs to God, that all 
the glory Belongs to the Lord. 

296
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,700
And so all of creation and is 
shouting. 

297
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:11,400
Fourth, the glory of God because
all of creation has come from 

298
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:13,700
God. 
All of creation is there for 

299
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,600
worshiping God. 
If you'll pay attention, like if

300
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,900
you look around and notice 
creation, this is what creation 

301
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,300
is doing. 
And your life is no different. 

302
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:31,500
You were created to bring glory 
to God, who created to Worship 

303
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:37,300
the Lord, you were created to be
that to be bringing forth into 

304
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:40,600
the world. 
Proper Godly worship as we see 

305
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,100
in the scriptures. 
One man's definition of worship 

306
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:49,900
is this he says it's Drawing 
Near to communion with God 

307
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,300
through Christ in the spirit by 
faith. 

308
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,000
That's important. 
You may write that down Drawing 

309
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:04,200
Near to communion with God. 
Through Christ in the spirit by 

310
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,900
faith. 
It's trinitarian and nature. 

311
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:11,100
This is true worship, drove. 
Do we draw near to God through 

312
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:16,400
Christ in the spirit by faith? 
It's not just that God said some

313
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,500
things about worship. 
It's not just, it's not just 

314
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:22,300
that he's, you know, he might 
have some ideas about worship 

315
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:25,200
and now we get to do kind of 
whatever we want with in worship

316
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,900
and we can call that worship 
because, you know, anything 

317
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:30,900
that's done. 
In the name of the Lord must be 

318
00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:35,100
good, right? 
Oh, this is why there's false 

319
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,300
teachers and false teaching, 
right? 

320
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,500
It's not just false teaching is 
not just other religions. 

321
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:43,500
It is false teaching. 
Sure. 

322
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:49,800
But false teaching is that which
looks Christian. 

323
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,300
But, as false in nature, right, 
And the Christian world is far 

324
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:56,800
more full of this than we might 
initially realize. 

325
00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:59,300
It's because something Bears, 
the name Christian. 

326
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:04,000
Doesn't mean it's Christian, 
doesn't mean it's biblical, all 

327
00:21:04,008 --> 00:21:10,000
right. 
And so, in the creation event, 

328
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:13,900
that we see in the beginning of 
Genesis, is the creation of 

329
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:16,700
worship. 
It's the Genesis of worship, 

330
00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:20,900
it's the foundation for 
worshipers over and again, 

331
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:24,100
throughout God's word, we see 
that the purpose of creation is 

332
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:27,000
to proclaim the glory of God. 
What are you doing? 

333
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,300
When you proclaim the glory of 
God, you're worshiping right? 

334
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:35,200
Perhaps someone 48 which Alan 
preached on last month, is one 

335
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,800
of the clearest pictures of this
truth. 

336
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,100
Let me just read some of the 
verses I probably won't read it 

337
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:42,700
all just for time sake but 
praise the Lord. 

338
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:46,200
Praise the Lord from the 
heavens, Praise Him in the 

339
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:52,000
Heights, praise him all his 
angels, praise him. 

340
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,400
All his hosts, Praise Him, sun 
and moon. 

341
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,200
Praise him. 
All you shining stars. 

342
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,400
Praise Him. 
You highest heavens and you 

343
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,100
Waters above the heavens, let 
them praise the name of the Lord

344
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:10,000
for he commanded and they were 
created and he established him 

345
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,800
forever and ever. 
And he gave a decree. 

346
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,700
And it shall not pass away. 
Praise the Lord from the earth. 

347
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:20,600
You great sea creatures and all 
beeps fire and he'll snow and 

348
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,300
Mist, stormy, wind fulfilling 
his word mountains and all Hills

349
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:29,100
fruit trees, and all Cedars 
beasts, and all, livestock 

350
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:32,700
creeping things and all Flying 
birds Kings of the earth, and 

351
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:36,600
All Peoples, princes, and all 
rulers of the earth, young men 

352
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,200
and maidens together old men and
children. 

353
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:42,800
Let them praise the name of the 
Lord, for his name, alone is 

354
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,300
exalted. 
His majesty is above heaven and 

355
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:49,900
earth. 
He has raised up a horn for his 

356
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:52,100
people. 
Praise for all his Saints, for 

357
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:54,400
the people of Israel who are 
near to him. 

358
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Praise the Lord. 
So they wouldn't read it all, 

359
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,000
but I got caught up in it, 
right? 

360
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:02,000
Psalm 148. 
What's the point of the song? 

361
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:06,900
Praise God. 
Why? 

362
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:13,000
Because from him and through him
and to him are all things to 

363
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,500
him, be the glory forever. 
Amen. 

364
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:18,200
Right. 
This is why we praise the Lord. 

365
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,500
So worshiping God his way again 
is the most important thing you 

366
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:26,700
will ever do. 
And so, when God makes Mankind, 

367
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:29,300
we read this in Genesis 1:26 and
27. 

368
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:34,500
It says then God said Let us 
make man in our image. 

369
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,100
So this is a trinitarian 
creation. 

370
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:41,000
Let us make man in our own image
after our likeness and let them 

371
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,900
have dominion over the fish of 
the sea and over the birds of 

372
00:23:43,908 --> 00:23:46,700
the heavens and over the 
livestock and over all the Earth

373
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:49,100
and over every creeping thing 
that creeps on the earth. 

374
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:52,200
So God has at day six, he's at 
the end of day 6. 

375
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Everything else in the Earth has
been created and now he says, 

376
00:23:56,300 --> 00:24:01,600
here's the crown jewel of 
creation Mankind and our image. 

377
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,400
Each male and female. 
For what purpose, the exercise 

378
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,500
Dominion to be fruitful and 
multiply to subdue. 

379
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,400
The earth. 
Does that mean to fill the Earth

380
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,100
with the glory of God? 
Does that mean to be worshippers

381
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:20,800
on the Earth? 
So God created, man in his own 

382
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,100
image. 
In the image of God, he created 

383
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,600
him male and female he created 
them. 

384
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,900
So to be created in the image of
God is to Bear the impress of 

385
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:33,600
your creator. 
It's like the impress of the 

386
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,000
idea here is like the impress of
a president on a coin, right? 

387
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,400
It Bears the image of the 
Creator but it's not the 

388
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,100
Creator, right? 
That coin Bears, the impress of 

389
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:47,000
a president but it's not the 
President, right? 

390
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,900
Nobody's saying, hey, I'm 
hanging out with Abe Lincoln 

391
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,400
today. 
All right no I got a penny in my

392
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,000
pocket. 
All right. 

393
00:24:55,900 --> 00:25:00,500
So you are not the Creator but 
you bear the image of the 

394
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,200
Creator. 
You're not the one worth 

395
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,200
worshiping but you were the one 
created to be a worshipper and 

396
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,500
he gave them the purpose of 
fruitfulness. 

397
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,500
Like you're meant to reflect the
glory of God as a mirror 

398
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:14,900
reflects, what's in its view 
right? 

399
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,600
Again a mirror gives a 
reflection of what it sees, but 

400
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600
it is not what it's he's right. 
We wouldn't hold up a mirror and

401
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,600
say, hey, this has been Brigham 
just because Ben's image is in 

402
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,900
it. 
All right, but that's not how 

403
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:30,300
mirrors work. 
But it reflects the image of 

404
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:33,800
been just as you were created to
reflect the image of your 

405
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,100
Creator. 
And so God made man to reflect 

406
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:38,900
his glory in all the Earth, 
gives them the purpose of 

407
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:41,600
fruitfulness Dominion to carry 
that throughout the Earth. 

408
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,300
So that his glory would fill the
Earth. 

409
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:44,800
What does he do? 
When he calls Israel? 

410
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,200
The nation of Israel was 
supposed to do. 

411
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,700
What carry the glory of God? 
Into all the Earth was Israel. 

412
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:54,400
Get it right? 
No. 

413
00:25:57,100 --> 00:26:00,800
And so the Old Testament is 
really all about the failure of 

414
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,900
Israel. 
To carry into image, the glory 

415
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:07,600
of God, there's pockets of hope,
there's remnants of Hope, But 

416
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,100
ultimately we're still looking 
for someone to do that. 

417
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:17,000
And so Christ comes So when God 
places the man into the garden 

418
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:20,100
God, so he created him outside 
the garden. 

419
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:23,200
God takes Adam, always kind of 
imagine that. 

420
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,400
He's like just picking him up 
and placing him but probably not

421
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,000
how it worked, right? 
Sounds good. 

422
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,000
But he takes Adam and he puts 
him into the garden and the 

423
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,400
Genesis 2:15, he gives him 
instructions. 

424
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:38,000
He says that he has to work it 
and keep it. 

425
00:26:39,300 --> 00:26:42,400
To work and keep the garden. 
And interesting thing about this

426
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,400
phrase in Genesis 2:15, is that 
Moses later uses it to describe 

427
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,400
the work of the Levites? 
Intending to Temple worship. 

428
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,300
They were to work it and keep 
it. 

429
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,800
I'm not even going to try to 
pronounce the Hebrew word for 

430
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,400
you, but it's the same phrase. 
So what was Adam created to do? 

431
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,900
He was created to be a priest on
the earth to Bear the image of 

432
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:05,500
God. 
And the same way that the priest

433
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:09,100
later on would carry the 
presence of God would tend to 

434
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,600
his presence in to make sure 
that God's glory could be seen 

435
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:14,500
properly. 
They could receive proper 

436
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:17,500
worship. 
This is what Adam was supposed 

437
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:20,600
to have done. 
And so in this God not only 

438
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,300
created Adam to worship, but he 
told him how to worship here to 

439
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:28,200
work and keep, he's giving him 
instructions for worship. 

440
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,000
Like I've put you in my place, 
this is My Sanctuary so to 

441
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,200
speak. 
I put you in my garden, but it's

442
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,500
for my purposes, your to work it
and keep it your, to cultivate 

443
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:38,800
it. 
You're to help it grow 

444
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,300
throughout the Earth. 
It would happen through 

445
00:27:42,300 --> 00:27:46,700
cultivation and protection that 
Adam would Would do this. 

446
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:51,500
And so in this God will be 
glorified as Adam reflected the 

447
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:54,800
glory of God through his 
fruitful worship to God. 

448
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:57,200
But what happens in Genesis 
chapter 3? 

449
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:00,100
We got the man in the woman 
created in Genesis 1. 

450
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:03,400
We see a close-up picture of 
what they were supposed to do 

451
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,000
and how they came to be. 
We see Adam created from the 

452
00:28:06,008 --> 00:28:08,700
dust of the ground Eve's created
from his rib to be a help me to 

453
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:11,600
Adam in working and keeping, and
they were both to be fruitful 

454
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,000
multiply the exercise Dominion 
subdue, the Earth, and fill the 

455
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,700
Earth with the glory of the 
Lord. 

456
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:20,900
But in Genesis chapter 3, Our 
worship is disrupted by the 

457
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:28,800
founder of Lies. 
The devil in the form of a 

458
00:28:28,808 --> 00:28:32,100
serpent comes to Eve Who's Adams
wife and he Tim's Sir With The 

459
00:28:32,108 --> 00:28:34,700
Forbidden Fruit of the tree of 
knowledge of Good and Evil. 

460
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:36,500
So we got to place Adam in the 
garden. 

461
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:38,900
He gives him the command to work
and keep but he gives them a 

462
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,000
command. 
Also, do not eat of the tree of 

463
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:44,600
knowledge of Good and Evil. 
From the day that you eat of it,

464
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,800
you will surely die. 
She knows she's not supposed to 

465
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,700
eat him. 
He even adds to the command. 

466
00:28:51,700 --> 00:28:53,700
I'm not supposed to eat it. 
Nor am I even supposed to touch 

467
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:56,800
it? 
The vet, the devil convinces. 

468
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,700
Her that this is simply the 
command of an egomaniac. 

469
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:07,000
Oh God. this is a God who, Who 
doesn't want you to be like him,

470
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,900
but if you'll eat of that fruit,
you'll be just like him and you 

471
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:16,200
won't need him anymore. 
How many of us fall to the 

472
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,900
temptation to be our own God 
daily? 

473
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,700
Take control of our own lives to
do what we think is best without

474
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:26,300
ever considering the commands of
God in Scripture. 

475
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:32,000
I'll raise my hand. 
Guilty of that. 

476
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,500
The serpent says, to the woman. 
You will not surely die. 

477
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,000
I mean, I can, I don't know if 
I'm getting the inflection, 

478
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200
right? 
But it just sounds like he's 

479
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,800
appalled by the fact that she 
says, will truly dies. 

480
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:48,900
He will surely die. 
For God knows. 

481
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:50,700
This is him. 
He's goes on, forgotten knows 

482
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:54,400
that when you eat of it, your 
eyes will be opened and you'll 

483
00:29:54,408 --> 00:29:59,600
be more like God, you will be 
like him knowing Good and Evil. 

484
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:05,200
Woman hears this and we read 
this as so when the woman saw 

485
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,000
that the tree was good for food 
so she hears what he's saying 

486
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:11,200
she turns and she looks at the 
fruits. 

487
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,600
That's when she saw that the 
tree was good for food and that 

488
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,400
it was a delight for the eyes 
tree was to be desired. 

489
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,500
To make one wise, she took of 
its fruit and she ate. 

490
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:30,300
And she also gave some to her 
husband who was with her, he ate

491
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:38,900
Again, this is the temptation of
daily and struggles, you know, 

492
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:42,400
you might know the commands of 
God and you might be saying to 

493
00:30:42,408 --> 00:30:43,800
yourself. 
No, I can't. 

494
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,900
Can't act this way or can't do 
this thing, or can't pursue that

495
00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:49,400
desire because it goes against 
God's command. 

496
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,900
I know that I've heard that my 
whole life and then what 

497
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:55,300
happens? 
The tempter comes right. 

498
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:59,000
The father of Lies comes to you 
and he says you want surely die 

499
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,500
if you do that. 
God's trying to keep you from 

500
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:05,200
enjoyment, trying to keep you 
from being your own God. 

501
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,600
He doesn't want you to be like 
him. 

502
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,700
Like if you'll just pursue all 
the desires of your heart, guess

503
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:10,800
what? 
Your God. 

504
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,300
Now, you're the god of your own 
life. 

505
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:16,800
This is the LIE of the world. 
This is what there? 

506
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,300
This is what they're falling 
into, so rapidly in our world. 

507
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:27,500
So what we have here in Genesis 
chapter 3 is the origin of sin 

508
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:29,500
in mankind. 
It's the beginning of it. 

509
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:32,500
It's the Genesis of sin, this is
where Godly worship gets 

510
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,300
disrupted and so we read, we go 
on the reading the narrative, 

511
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:38,300
then the eyes of both were 
opened and they knew that they 

512
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:41,000
were naked and they sewed fig 
leaves together and made 

513
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,400
themselves loin cloths. 
And they heard the sound of the 

514
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,200
lord of the Lord. 
God Walking In The Garden in the

515
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,100
cool of the day and the man and 
his wife, hid themselves from 

516
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:52,000
the presence of the Lord God 
Among the Trees of the garden. 

517
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,700
So what's happened? 
Their eyes are opened They were 

518
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:58,800
once it's not that there were 
blind they were once pure. 

519
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,800
Everyone's holy as God is. 
Holy There were once without sin

520
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,200
but now their eyes have been 
open to evil. 

521
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:08,600
Why? 
Because they experienced evil, 

522
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,500
they committed evil, they 
committed transgression against 

523
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:15,800
God and now they know who it. 
And they knew that they were 

524
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,300
naked. 
It says they were exposed before

525
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,500
God and so they sewed fig leaves
together and made themselves 

526
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:24,000
loin cloths, they heard the Lord
coming the hid themselves. 

527
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,700
From the presence of the Lord, 
among the Trees of the law, of 

528
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:29,200
the garden of Lord. 
God Called To The Man. 

529
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,100
He said to him, where are you? 
And he said I heard the sound of

530
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,700
you in the garden and I was 
afraid because I was naked and I

531
00:32:35,708 --> 00:32:38,900
hid myself. 
God said who told you that you 

532
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:41,400
were naked? 
Have you eaten of the tree of 

533
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,200
which I commanded you not to 
eat. 

534
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:48,100
The man said, the woman whom you
gave me to be with me. 

535
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:53,000
She gave me fruit of the tree 
and I ate and then the Lord said

536
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,100
to the woman, what is this? 
That you have done? 

537
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,400
And the woman said, the serpent 
deceived me and I ate. 

538
00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:01,700
So again, here we see the 
Genesis of things like shame and

539
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:06,600
regret and blame shifting, and 
deceit rights, which were also 

540
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,000
well acquainted. 
With now, if we're honest were 

541
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,500
very good at all of these 
things. 

542
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,700
A chiral to us like we were born
this way or Okay. 

543
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,400
The man and the woman are no 
longer an unblemished image of 

544
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,800
the glory of God as they were 
created. 

545
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:25,100
Created to mirror the image of 
the glory of God and all the 

546
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:27,400
Earth. 
They are now broken mirrors. 

547
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:32,500
The Bible helps us see. 
This just two chapters later 

548
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,200
after Adam and Eve are sent out 
of the garden. 

549
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:39,000
We read this in Genesis chapter 
5, this is the book of the 

550
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,600
generations of Adam. 
This is verses 1, through 3, 

551
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:45,700
when God created man, he made 
him in the likeness of God, male

552
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:47,600
and female. 
He created them and he blessed 

553
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,000
them and name them. 
Man. 

554
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,200
When they were created, when 
Adam had lived a hundred thirty 

555
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,900
years, he fathered a son in his 
own likeness after his image and

556
00:33:56,900 --> 00:34:00,100
named him. 
Seth You see the difference? 

557
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,900
Is there when God created man, 
he made him in the likeness of 

558
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:08,400
who God, then Adam fathered a 
son in whose likeness his own 

559
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,100
likeness. 
After his own image, mankind, 

560
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:15,400
still Bears, the image of their 
creator, but it's a broken 

561
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,500
image. 
It's a it's marred by sin, 

562
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:22,400
Romans 5:12 further clarifies 
this. 

563
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,000
Therefore just as Sin came into 
the world through one man, which

564
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,800
is Adam, this chapter makes it 
clear that it's Adam Just a sin,

565
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,300
came into the world through one 
man, Adam and death through sin,

566
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:37,199
and so death, spread to all men,
because all sinned, Romans 3:23 

567
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:40,100
for all, have sinned and fallen 
short of the glory of God. 

568
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:44,500
None of us are bearing the image
of God anymore perfectly 

569
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:49,699
Especially so, as unbelievers, 
we are marred by our sinful 

570
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:52,199
nature, which are inherited, 
which is inherited from our 

571
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:55,500
first parents, Adam and Eve. 
We are broken mirrors. 

572
00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:59,500
We are guilty of sin Alan just 
mentioned last week that we're 

573
00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:03,500
all worshiping something. 
We're all devoted to something, 

574
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:07,200
some may worship false gods of 
their own imaginations of their 

575
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,600
own creations. 
And some may worship the one 

576
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,000
true God of the Bible, but no 
one is indifferent, there's no 

577
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,500
neutrality in this, you are 
worshipping something, everyone 

578
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:21,000
lives, their life and Devotion 
to something and whatever that 

579
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,300
is it is their God. 
You might be what you're devoted

580
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:27,500
to most and so you are your own 
God. 

581
00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:33,800
It might be something else. 
Maybe your spouse, maybe your 

582
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,700
children, may be saying. 
Everything I do is for these 

583
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:39,800
people. 
And while it's a noble concept, 

584
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,400
you're making your wife or your 
spout, your husband, you're 

585
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,400
making them God, you're making 
your children. 

586
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,100
God, if it's your career, you 
think this is who I am. 

587
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:54,000
You're making it God. 
Maybe it's your addictions. 

588
00:35:54,500 --> 00:36:01,000
Your sins struggles. 
I am a believer but I'm also a 

589
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,300
whatever alcoholic recovering 
alcoholic or same-sex attracted.

590
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:08,900
But I'm a Christian, you know, 
like what you're doing, is 

591
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:14,400
you're making those things God. 
Adam and Eve were created to 

592
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,500
worship God. 
By eternally dwelling, in the 

593
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:19,300
presence of God. 
Joyfully doing the will of God, 

594
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:21,800
spreading the glory of God into 
all the Earth. 

595
00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:27,100
But their sin got them removed 
from the garden verses 22 

596
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:29,000
through 24. 
There in Genesis 3 just a few 

597
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,500
verses later we read this. 
Then the Lord God said, behold 

598
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:34,500
the man has become like one of 
us and knowing good and evil. 

599
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,800
Now lets you reach out his hand 
and take also of the tree of 

600
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,300
life and eat and live forever. 
And God just breaks his thought 

601
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:45,200
there. 
Therefore the Lord God sent him 

602
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,700
out from the Garden of Eden to 
work the ground from which he 

603
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:51,700
was taken, he drove out the man 
and that the east of the Garden 

604
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:55,300
of Eden, he placed the cherubim 
and a flaming sword that turned 

605
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,200
every way to guard, the way to 
the Tree of Life. 

606
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:00,800
They are forever barred from 
entering the place of God, that 

607
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,400
God had given them Adam and Eve 
leave the fruitful garden and 

608
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,600
embark on a new far, more 
difficult journey to become 

609
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,100
image. 
Bearers for the glory of God in 

610
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:16,000
the Earth. 
And if that were like the 

611
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,900
totality of the historical 
Narrative of our first parents, 

612
00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:22,500
like this is all we had, we 
would be filled with 

613
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:26,700
discouragements and hopelessness
and rightfully. 

614
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:31,300
So for in that existence and 
existence separated from the 

615
00:37:31,308 --> 00:37:35,300
presence of God. 
And that existence, where you're

616
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:40,900
in your sin, there is no way to 
return to God and proper 

617
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:43,800
worship. 
They're barred forever. 

618
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,800
There's no way for us to commune
with him because of our sin. 

619
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:51,700
Our sin also removes us from the
presence of God. 

620
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,600
And if that's true, if we've 
been forever removed from the 

621
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,300
presence of God and why in the 
world are we gather together 

622
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:03,100
right now at this place. 
And in this time Why do we 

623
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:05,900
gather? 
Why do we show up for corporate 

624
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:08,400
worship on the Lord's Day each 
week? 

625
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,600
Because we know, we know 
brothers and sisters that God 

626
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,700
did not leave us in our sin. 
He has not left us without a way

627
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,800
to return to him and proper 
worship. 

628
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:24,300
Amen. 
The look-back with me at Genesis

629
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:26,600
chapter 3. 
Let's look a little closer at 

630
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,400
what happened here. 
Because I believe that here, God

631
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:37,500
has established for us. 
The outline for what happens in 

632
00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:40,200
worship from the very beginning 
of time. 

633
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:46,000
But the true worship only 
happens in God's way. 

634
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,800
Which he reveals here in his 
work and we'll see it over. 

635
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,700
And again, throughout the 
scriptures as we go through the 

636
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:55,600
series, we see the same pattern.
The first thing we see is that 

637
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,700
God initiates God, initiates 
worship. 

638
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:06,000
Happens on God's terms after 
their sin, Adam and Eve are not 

639
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,100
seeking. 
God, they're naked and ashamed. 

640
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:09,600
Right? 
What are they doing? 

641
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:11,400
Are they running for the Lord 
somewhere? 

642
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:15,600
No, we're looking for ways to 
cover themselves with loin 

643
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,800
cloths, right? 
They're trying to cover their 

644
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,000
shame. 
They're trying to hide their 

645
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,200
sin. 
Kind of make themselves 

646
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,900
presentable instead of running 
to their creator, begging for 

647
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:29,400
his forgiveness. 
And pardon they cover themselves

648
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,200
in fig leaves. 
I'm here to tell you. 

649
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,400
This is the pattern of all of 
humanity, no one seeks God. 

650
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
No one seeks. 
God, this is what Isaiah says. 

651
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,100
This is what Romans chapter 3 is
saying there is none righteous? 

652
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:47,600
No, not one. 
No one seeks after God. 

653
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,700
It is God who seeks. 
So what does God do? 

654
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,700
Look at verse 89 again, and they
heard the sound of the Lord. 

655
00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:59,200
God Walking In The Garden. 
In the cool of the day. 

656
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,900
And the man and his wife hid 
themselves. 

657
00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:06,700
From the presence of the Lord 
God Among the Trees of the 

658
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:09,100
garden, but the Lord God. 
Did. 

659
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:11,900
What ignore them? 
And just passed on by? 

660
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:18,200
Oh, Lord, God Called To The Man.
He said to him, where are you? 

661
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,600
You see God seeks out the man 
and the woman. 

662
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,500
The head. 
They have blasphemed, his name 

663
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:31,800
have rebelled against him and 
true worship. 

664
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:37,600
God comes to his people. 
The people do not first perform 

665
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,200
for him and then he shows up as 
finny says rather. 

666
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,900
They come because he calls them.
This is why we begin the service

667
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:49,800
with a call to worship. 
The call isn't about us reciting

668
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,400
something out of dead, wrote 
religious activity. 

669
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:56,900
It's about acknowledging that we
are here, because God calls us 

670
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:59,400
to worship him. 
We can come to worship because 

671
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,500
God has called us to come. 
He draws Us in, and we respond 

672
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:07,100
in obedience, we come. 
And though he calls us and we 

673
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:11,400
come, this is not the end of it,
we still cannot worship him 

674
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:16,200
properly because our sin remains
and he is perfectly, holy and 

675
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:22,800
just and cannot approve of our 
sin. the second thing we see is 

676
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,600
that we acknowledge our sin, I 
must acknowledge our sin. 

677
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
What happens next in? 
The narrative is not a 

678
00:41:31,008 --> 00:41:34,400
restoration of Fellowship. 
God talking to the man saying, 

679
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,900
where are you in the man? 
Answering back. 

680
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,300
This is not Fellowship yet. 
This is not them dwelling 

681
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:43,200
together in harmony. 
Yet this is not peace with God. 

682
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,600
That's why the man's hiding and 
eventually is going to go on to 

683
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,700
make excuses. 
He's not at peace with God yet. 

684
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:51,200
He's still afraid of God because
of his sin. 

685
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,500
The Lord God Called To The Man 
and said him, where are you? 

686
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,400
And he said, I heard the sound 
of you in the garden and I was 

687
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,300
afraid because Cuz I was naked 
and I hid myself and he said, 

688
00:41:59,300 --> 00:42:02,100
God said, who told you that you 
were naked? 

689
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,700
Have you eaten of the tree of 
which I commanded you not to 

690
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:06,800
eat. 
And the man said no, no, the 

691
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,500
woman who you whom you gave to 
be with me. 

692
00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:11,800
She gave me the fruit of the 
tree and I ate. 

693
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:20,100
So who's at fault in Adams mind.
Oh, the woman know. 

694
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,600
God. 
He's accusing God of causing his

695
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:31,000
Misfortune right? 
The woman who gave you gave to 

696
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,500
me. 
Sure. 

697
00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:37,600
Eve disobeyed Eve, offered the 
fruit Adam took of it, but who's

698
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,400
he blaming, right? 
He's not blaming the woman and 

699
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,900
he is in a sense, but he's 
blaming God, the woman you gave 

700
00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:45,000
me. 
Did this? 

701
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,600
Then the Lord God said to the 
woman? 

702
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,600
What is this? 
That you have done in the woman 

703
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:55,600
said, the serpent deceived me 
and I ate As noted earlier, this

704
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,500
is the beginning of regret and 
shame and blame Shifting. 

705
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:01,500
The Regatta is the the origin of
sin. 

706
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,400
Really what's on display here is
pride unchecked pride the woman.

707
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:13,600
You gave me It's your fault. 
God, you're the reason I'm in 

708
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,500
sin here. 
It was better off. 

709
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:24,700
I was better on my own. 
There's more than that happening

710
00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:27,900
here though than just the regret
and shame and the blame-shifting

711
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:31,100
that we see. 
This is more than a kid getting 

712
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:33,200
caught with his hand in the 
cookie jar, right? 

713
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:36,200
But I wasn't I was I was 
cleaning it. 

714
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:40,400
Yeah just making sure there were
cookies in it for later mom. 

715
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,000
What God is doing here? 
Is he's asking what are you? 

716
00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:47,700
What's where are you, what have 
you done? 

717
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,000
Got us pronouncing his 
righteous. 

718
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:56,100
Judgement on the man and They 
were guilty of sin, and let me 

719
00:43:56,107 --> 00:43:59,200
tell you something, God means 
for them to understand it. 

720
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:07,200
Deeply There is no good news of 
the Gospel here yet. 

721
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:12,400
This is you are in Rebellion 
against my decree. 

722
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:15,700
You have sinned against the holy
God. 

723
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:24,000
Why have you done this? 
We might all look at ourselves 

724
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,600
in the mirror one day and asked 
the same things. 

725
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:31,700
Because we're all guilty of 
treason against God, rebelling 

726
00:44:31,700 --> 00:44:34,800
against him. 
And so God is pronouncing his 

727
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,500
righteous judgment. 
They're guilty of it. 

728
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:39,500
He means from the sit, their 
hearts are foul, their sin has 

729
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:42,600
blemished them forever. 
Have you eaten of the tree of 

730
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,200
which I commanded you not to 
eat. 

731
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,400
They got really have to ask. 
I mean, it's God, limited and 

732
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,400
any kind of a way at all. 
Oh, you guys know this, right? 

733
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,000
The one who created the heavens 
and the Earth out of nothing, 

734
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:00,900
right. 
That he didn't have a substance 

735
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:02,200
that he created these things out
of him. 

736
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,300
He spoke them into being by the 
power of His voice. 

737
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:08,300
That he really need to know what
happened. 

738
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,100
Of course he didn't, he's an 
all-powerful all-knowing. 

739
00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:14,600
All presence. 
God from the depths of the 

740
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,100
ocean, to the heights of the 
heavens, from the one corner of 

741
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:20,400
creation to the Opposite corner 
of creation. 

742
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:25,200
There is nothing hidden from the
side, or the knowledge of God. 

743
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:30,400
Everything, what exists from 
him, and through him, and to 

744
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,700
him, it's all his nothing's 
hidden. 

745
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,000
So he knew what Adam and Eve had
done. 

746
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,600
You know exactly what they did 
and he pronounces his verdict 

747
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:48,100
and verses 16 and 19. 
The woman he said, I will surely

748
00:45:48,100 --> 00:45:51,100
multiply your pain in 
childbearing and pain you shall 

749
00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:53,500
bring forth children. 
Your desire shall be contrary to

750
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:56,900
your husband but he shall rule 
over you and to Adam he said 

751
00:45:56,900 --> 00:45:59,100
because you have listened to the
voice of your wife and have 

752
00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:02,100
eaten of the tree of which I 
commanded you, you shall not eat

753
00:46:02,100 --> 00:46:04,700
of it. 
Cursed is the ground because of 

754
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:10,100
you in pain, you shall eat of it
all the days of your life thorns

755
00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:12,700
and thistles it shall bring 
forth for you. 

756
00:46:12,700 --> 00:46:16,600
And you shall eat the plants of 
the field of the The sweat of 

757
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,600
your face. 
You shall eat bread till you 

758
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,300
return to the ground for out of 
it. 

759
00:46:20,300 --> 00:46:23,900
You were taken for. 
You are dust and to dust. 

760
00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:26,800
You shall return. 
Woo. 

761
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:35,600
Sin, Sin marred, the very things
that they were created to be 

762
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,600
doing Eve, is creative, because 
God looks at him. 

763
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,200
And says, it's not good for the 
man to be alone. 

764
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,800
I'm going to create for him. 
I help meet Eve is created to 

765
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,700
image the glory of God in 
creation. 

766
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:49,400
Is she AIDS the man in 
fruitfulness? 

767
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,100
As a help meet and mother. 
And she's now going to have 

768
00:46:55,100 --> 00:46:57,400
desires that are contrary to her
design. 

769
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:01,000
Namely, she will want to rule 
over him. 

770
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Her desire will be for him. 
By the way, we might say hello 

771
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,500
to the foundation of the 
feminist movement, right? 

772
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:13,900
That's what this is. 
Adam created to image the glory 

773
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:16,500
of God and creation as he works,
and keeps the fruitful guarding 

774
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:20,600
the place that God gave to him. 
With the help of his wife will 

775
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,900
now have to work against thorns 
and thistles by the sweat of his

776
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:27,800
brow until he returns to the 
dust that he was created from. 

777
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,000
Adding insult to injury, God 
will send them out of the 

778
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,300
garden, struggle and toil, and 
strife, will be their future 

779
00:47:35,300 --> 00:47:39,500
Decay destruction, and death 
will Mark creation for the rest 

780
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:41,900
of time. 
The Earth exists. 

781
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,000
This is the pronouncement of 
judgment and Adam and Eve have 

782
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:54,200
heard clearly. 
The third thing that happens in 

783
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,000
worship as that God provides 
atonement. 

784
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,900
God provides atonement God 
initiates his Plan of Redemption

785
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:06,700
in his curse on the serpent. 
Which I intentionally did not 

786
00:48:06,700 --> 00:48:08,600
read yet but here you are verse 
15. 

787
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,900
I will put enmity between you 
and the woman and between your 

788
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:15,100
Offspring and her Offspring. 
He shall bruise your head and 

789
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:20,100
you shall bruise his heel. 
Though, the serpent deceived, 

790
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:23,100
the woman, the serpent thinks 
I've won the day. 

791
00:48:23,100 --> 00:48:26,300
The victory is mine. 
I've caused the fall of God's 

792
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:29,600
Crown, Jewel of creation, the 
ones who were meant to Bear His 

793
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,200
Image. 
No longer bear His Image, 

794
00:48:31,300 --> 00:48:35,300
perfectly or marred by sin. 
They're like me. 

795
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:36,900
They're liars. 
And deceivers. 

796
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:44,000
But the victory we see here will
ultimately belong to God because

797
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,800
God In The Offspring of the man 
and the woman will come in The 

798
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,500
Offspring of the man. 
And the woman one will come who 

799
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:53,100
will bruise the head of the 
serpent though. 

800
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:55,600
He himself will be bruised in 
the process. 

801
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,700
The bruise head of the serpent 
is a death blow dealt by the one

802
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:02,700
who's heel will be bruised in 
the process, but a bruised Hill 

803
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,800
and a bruised head or not, the 
same thing. 

804
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,200
Amen. 
You can stub your toe and that's

805
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,400
different than if something 
falls on your head, right? 

806
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,600
Ultimately, there's going to be 
one who brings the death of 

807
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:23,600
death. 
His heel will be bruised in the 

808
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,200
process but he will deal the 
deathblow to death. 

809
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,200
This verse is called the 
protoevangelium. 

810
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,000
It is the first Proto 
pronouncement of the Gospel or 

811
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,800
good news Evangelion. 
God is foreshadowing. 

812
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,400
The provision of atonement. 
He's foreshadowing. 

813
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,600
The coming of Christ by his 
Incarnation, through the seed of

814
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:51,000
the woman who the spirits 
conception and Merry Christ is 

815
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,900
The Offspring who will cut off 
the head of the serpent, and he 

816
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:57,300
does so on the cross. 
Amen. 

817
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,600
On the cross Christ became sin 
for us who knew no sin. 

818
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:06,600
Sorry he became sin who knew no 
sin for us. 

819
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:10,500
So that by faith in him, we who 
knew nothing, but sin might 

820
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:15,200
become the righteousness of God.
Second Corinthians 5:21 all who 

821
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,400
call on the name of the Lord, by
faith in Christ death. 

822
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:22,300
And his resurrection will be 
saved, Romans 10:9. 

823
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:28,300
Genesis 3:21 says this and the 
Lord God made for a demand. 

824
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:30,500
For his wife, garments of skins 
and clothed. 

825
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:33,000
Now them now, this is right 
before, so they're trying to 

826
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
make fig leaves, which is what 
we do in our own righteousness. 

827
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,400
Which is filthy rags right 
there. 

828
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,900
Trying to sew together loincloth
and like, cover themselves. 

829
00:50:39,900 --> 00:50:42,900
And God says, I do know where 
I'm sending you out there. 

830
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:46,400
You're going to need a different
kind of clothing, and so we 

831
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,100
closed them in animal skins, 
which is really just a further 

832
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:53,600
foreshadowing of believers who 
are ultimately, we being clothed

833
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,800
in the righteousness of Christ 
by faith. 

834
00:50:56,900 --> 00:51:00,600
Foreshadowing taking their awful
clothing. 

835
00:51:02,900 --> 00:51:06,500
Removing it from them and giving
them proper clothing, which is 

836
00:51:06,508 --> 00:51:07,900
what we see of those were 
worshipping. 

837
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:11,700
At the end of Revelation there, 
dressed in the robes that Christ

838
00:51:11,700 --> 00:51:14,200
has Adorn them with 
righteousness of him. 

839
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,800
Fourth thing we see is that we 
commit ourselves to him, Adam 

840
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,800
and Eve faced with their sin, 
but hearing the promise of God 

841
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,700
to crush the serpent commit 
themselves to God. 

842
00:51:30,900 --> 00:51:34,700
Genesis 3:22 look what it says. 
The man called his wife's name 

843
00:51:34,700 --> 00:51:37,700
Eve, because she was the mother 
of all living. 

844
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:42,700
Adam knew that life because of 
the promise that God made in the

845
00:51:42,700 --> 00:51:46,100
curse of the serpent, he makes a
promise to Mankind and because 

846
00:51:46,100 --> 00:51:49,800
of that promise Adam knows that 
my wife is now the mother of all

847
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,900
living like she is. 
The reason the seed that carries

848
00:51:52,900 --> 00:51:58,400
on through her is going to be 
the reason That life is restored

849
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,900
to Mankind, we know death now 
but we will know life again 

850
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,200
though they had sinned against 
God and received death that his 

851
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,500
sin came into their life, it's 
death and that way but it's also

852
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:13,300
the end of life at some point. 
It would not last forever. 

853
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,000
So he calls his name, wife eat, 
his wife's name, Eve, To 

854
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,100
commemorate this. 
The fifth thing we see is that 

855
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:25,900
we feast and communion with God 
and now have communion with God 

856
00:52:25,900 --> 00:52:29,600
again, though that was disrupted
by Kane's murder of his brother 

857
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,300
Abel. 
All hope is not lost, right? 

858
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,400
We'll see this right here in 
Genesis chapter 4, which comes 

859
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,500
on the Tilt that these last few 
years, come on the telling of 

860
00:52:37,508 --> 00:52:39,200
the story of Cain and Abel. 
So, Adam. 

861
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,100
And Eve had two sons, one gets 
jealous of the other because his

862
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:44,000
offering was received by the 
Lord because it was made in the 

863
00:52:44,008 --> 00:52:45,800
right way. 
Kane tried to Worship in the 

864
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,700
wrong way. 
God didn't receive his offering 

865
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,900
and he gets jealous. 
So what does he do? 

866
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:58,300
Cousin, kills his brother. 
And in verses 25 through 26 

867
00:52:58,300 --> 00:53:00,000
after Cain is banished, he's 
gone. 

868
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,900
Now to go do his thing and you 
read about all the destruction 

869
00:53:02,900 --> 00:53:05,500
that's going to come from him in
the future verse 25. 

870
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:08,500
It says in Adam knew his wife 
again, meaning they conceived 

871
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:13,100
again, she bore a son and called
his name Seth for she said, God 

872
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:16,300
has appointed for me another 
Offspring. 

873
00:53:16,300 --> 00:53:19,400
She's holding onto this Hope Of 
The Offspring in Genesis 3:15, 

874
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:24,200
instead of Abel for Cain killed 
him. so and if you track it, you

875
00:53:24,207 --> 00:53:27,100
trace it, and the genealogies, 
all those things, we Skip and 

876
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:33,400
read Christ comes from the line 
of Seth I mean it's a whole long

877
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,900
line, but it's there and the 
same way. 

878
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,700
Oh and then so and that says, to
Seth also was born. 

879
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,000
A son was born and he called his
name enosh. 

880
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,600
And at that time people began to
call upon the name of the Lord. 

881
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:50,900
He is God God's in the cool of 
the day, wandering through the 

882
00:53:50,900 --> 00:53:52,200
garden. 
Adam and Eve sinned, what does 

883
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,500
he do? 
He calls on them. 

884
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,800
And now here we see the people 
calling on the name of the Lord 

885
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,900
and proper worship restored 
Fellowship. 

886
00:54:01,900 --> 00:54:07,000
There in communion with God 
again by faith. we come to see 

887
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,700
that fleshed out in Abraham 
chapters 12 and on in Genesis, 

888
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,900
So in the same way we have 
communion with God today, 

889
00:54:17,100 --> 00:54:20,700
through faith in Christ of the 
pictures become clearer and 

890
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:23,600
clearer Through The Years, 
through Revelation. 

891
00:54:25,700 --> 00:54:30,400
Because of the atonement that 
Christ, the see The Offspring of

892
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:36,000
who Christ is and how he dealt a
death blow to Satan and so we 

893
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,200
can dwell with God. 
Each day we can live for God. 

894
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,400
When being communion with God, 
the sixth thing we see is that 

895
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,500
he sends us We're kind of 
describing the flow of a worship

896
00:54:45,500 --> 00:54:47,800
service. 
Prescribing, the flow of worship

897
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,700
in the Bible. 
The six elements of this six 

898
00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:51,900
part 2. 
This is that he sends us, God 

899
00:54:51,900 --> 00:54:56,100
sent a Adam and Eve out of the 
garden committed to God. 

900
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,200
They would be able to live for 
him once again by faith. 

901
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:02,900
We see this in their children 
and the fact that the people 

902
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:05,800
began to call upon the name of 
the Lord in that day. 

903
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:10,300
Or at that time, Adam and Eve 
must have been cultivating and 

904
00:55:10,300 --> 00:55:14,200
guarding a Devotion to God, that
others were NG to do also 

905
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,100
carried on through their son. 
It's a weekly worship is a 

906
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:24,200
reenactment of this shape that 
God calls us. 

907
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:31,700
The verdict is pronounced. 
Atonement is seen in Christ. 

908
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,000
We commit ourselves to him and 
he sends us, amen. 

909
00:55:40,300 --> 00:55:43,000
It's a reenactment of this 
gospel shape that God provides 

910
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,600
here in Genesis and we'll see it
throughout the scriptures will 

911
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,900
begin to see this take shape as 
we go through this. 

912
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,500
So you see worship does not 
begin with man as the standard 

913
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:53,800
man. 
Were the standard would get it 

914
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,100
wrong, man, cannot be the 
standard because he is sinful 

915
00:55:57,100 --> 00:56:02,400
and corrodes God and His word 
are the standard for worship. 

916
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,400
Everything we do and worship 
must be held accountable to 

917
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,300
God's word. 
More than that. 

918
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:11,000
Everything we do in worship must
be derived from his Word and not

919
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,100
everything we do and worship 
just because we think it's good.

920
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:15,900
And right means that it's good. 
And right on the side of God. 

921
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:20,200
In the coming weeks, we'll look 
more at the Theology and the 

922
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,800
elements of a worship service, 
but for now, must understand 

923
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,500
that worship is Drawing Near to 
communion with God through 

924
00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:37,100
Christ in the spirit by faith. 
That is to worship God's way and

925
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:40,200
it is the most important thing 
you will ever do. 

926
00:56:40,700 --> 00:56:46,400
So I ask you brothers and 
sisters and what ways does your 

927
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:53,800
life, not reflect true Godly 
worship and what ways are your 

928
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:58,200
heart is your heart devoted to 
your own desires of the desires 

929
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,400
of others. 
And what ways have you ignored 

930
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,900
God? 
Daily in your life. 

931
00:57:05,500 --> 00:57:10,000
And what ways have you like? 
The proverb said, become has 

932
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,800
your belly become your God, 
meaning you go the way of your 

933
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:21,700
own desires, your own appetites.
I'm for you today. 

934
00:57:21,700 --> 00:57:27,900
To answer the call of God, to 
repent of your sins, to commit 

935
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:32,400
yourself to Christ, centered 
worship, allow him to send you 

936
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:37,500
out as you fellowship with him. 
Men, let me pray for you. 

937
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,300
Heavenly father, I thank you. 
For these men and women. 

938
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:45,100
I thank you, Lord, for your word
and your faithfulness to us. 

939
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:50,300
What would you help us to 
worship you correctly? 

940
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:55,000
Help us worship you properly. 
The ways that you have designed 

941
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,100
in the ways that you have made 
clear in your word. 

942
00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:00,200
Father, we recognize that you 
call us. 

943
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:06,400
We call us. 
And so therefore we come we love

944
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,400
because you first loved us, you 
have called us out of darkness 

945
00:58:09,500 --> 00:58:12,500
and into Marvelous Light you 
have pulled us up from the Miry 

946
00:58:12,500 --> 00:58:15,300
clay and given us a rock to 
stand on. 

947
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:21,100
We owe everything to you. 
If we are saved it is because of

948
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:25,200
Christ it is because of your 
call is because of your actions,

949
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,500
not our own. 
There is no way to fellowship 

950
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:34,200
with you, apart from faith. 
So Lord, would you deepen our 

951
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,100
faith? 
Would you strengthen our faith? 

952
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:42,300
If we might Worship You More 
completely more fully, we might 

953
00:58:42,300 --> 00:58:45,100
exercise a deeper Devotion to 
you. 

954
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,700
And we might not sin against you
by going the way of our own 

955
00:58:49,700 --> 00:58:53,100
bellies. 
Seeking out our own desires. 

956
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,900
Help us to depend on Christ 
Alone. 

957
00:59:00,700 --> 00:59:03,400
Lord, we love you, praise you 
for your word. 

958
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:07,700
Thank you for your spirit, which
convicted Spirit, which leads. 

959

Word, trains Us by Your Word,

Word, so that we might grow in 

961
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,900

962
