Our vision is to be a people that ENCOUNTERS the glory of the resurrected Jesus Christ; and in faith, SURRENDERS to His will - joyfully LIVING for His name and His kingdom.
By using the term "apple" it demonstrates that you are reading stuff into the narrative that is not there. You keep saying what Eve thought. The bible tells you what she thought, Genesis 3:6, compare that to Genesis 2:9, so close but still wrong. That was Adam's fault. The only other pertinent thing to this story is 1 Timothy 2:14, she was tricked, and in 15 we see the word "notwithstanding" it is a legal term that acknowledges a fact but renders that fact not in effect so the following can occur unimpeded. What was the following, childbirth! So woman could bring the savior into the earth without sin.
You framed your entire talk on Eve being the culprit in the fall of man. Where in scripture does it mention "apple"? Eve was not even present when the man was commanded not to eat. God did not tell her, that was Adam's job. In the conversation with the snake Adam is standing right there. Eve is following his lead. Adam does not toss the snake out, but lets him talk. Eve was not punished for eating, she was punished for turning to Adam when she found herself in crisis. You can always determine the nature of the crime by the punishment. She chose to make Adam her God and God tells her "he will not be sympathetic towards you, he will not carry your birthing pains as I have." "In turning you will turn to him, and he will simply overrule you." BTW, You cannot curse that which God has blessed. GOD DID NOT CURSE ADAM AND EVE. He did however curse the snake and the ground. You got Eve all wrong. Adam and the snake tricked her.
@Cuvoastoh6321 yes, Genesis 3:6 ,’and gave also unto her husband WITH HER ; and he did eat. He was the head of them he was suppose to tell her no, it was sinning against God’s instruction. The man is head over his wife she’s only a HELPmeet(helpmate) not leader. Ephesians 5:23, For the husband is the head of the wife. And be in subjection of her husband IPeter 3:1) Did he take over and guide her to obey God in not eating the forbidden fruit? No ! Notice God addresses Adam first.
21:29 if woman passes sin to her offspring how was Mary mother of Jesus able to birth the "sinless lamb of God"? Read Romans 5 to know who passes sin to their offspring. Lots of bible teachers, few who actually know the word.

Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:1-11, 13-16 ESV bible.com/bible/59/2co.4.1-16.ESV
Praise God for the ability to use technology in this way. Great job David for getting this set up! Miss you church family, we will all be together soon. Prayers for your family Paul.
Please pray for our family. Our daughter, Christina was tested for the virus yesterday. If infected our whole family has been exposed. Oh Lord! REALLY. another affliction this year. I know it is meant for good, but we are at our wits end. Come Lord Jesus!!
I'm praying that the Lord doesn't allow your child to be effected. We do know that He, for whatever reason, has allowed this virus to continue. The Lord isn't shocked or caught off guard regarding all this. Since we don't know why, this is a time where the Body must trust and be faithful in whatever He does and in whatever He allows to happen. Just last Monday when all this started popping off I made the mistake of tuning into the news on the radio. Hearing all the concern/panic from the folks on the radio with also a ton of unsurety from our President, fear completely froze me! For about 1 1/2 hours I was tormented about the possibilities of what this new future will take us. I feared what will happen to my Wife, who at the time was dealing with unusual headaches and sickness that was going on for about a month. I thought about my two daughters (One in college and one at home). What will happen to parents, housing, job, friends, life. I was so choked-out by fear that I became somewhat nervous and jittery. As I drove down highway 101, I turned the radio off and prayed earnestly. I told the Lord that "I know You are allowing this for some reason. Your reason I may never know. Regardless of what may happen to myself, Wife, children, family, etc, I trust in You! Please allow me to trust in You during this unpredictable time and not FEAR!" About five to ten minutes later I felt Him removing my fear and replacing it with courage. It seemed like He sort of peeled away the anxiety like the peeling on a fruit. Ever since last Monday I have no fear of no virus and the effects it may cause to my neighbors, family, or myself. All I care about is God's will being done. He has promised us that in this life there will be hardships, but not to lose heart because Jesus had overcome the world! Hang in there Mr. Kelly! Hand your child over to the Lord! As a father also I can feel your concern, but our Father will always be a better Father than us. We must trust in Him and His plan even if it hurts, even if it brings tears, even if it doesn't make since. He will always work all things out for the good for those who love Him! Hold on Mr Kelly! Blessings to your daughter and household!
Mr. Kelly Thank you for your thoughts. I find comfort in reading Psalm 91 reminding me of His sovereignty and His love. I also know that this affliction is one of the signs of the coming Tribulation. I learned a long time ago to trust in His judgement. No one can add one second to his/her life by worrying! I do know that if we earnestly ask for His healing He will heal according to His will. We are a healthcare family, working in hospitals here so we always know these diseases can be contracted. Even by taking all the precautions one can still get it and this time it is possible. We just pray for a negative result that is truly negative. If not then the next step is to implore God for healing. We walk with Jesus and we know our destiny to live eternally with Him. It’s a win-win situation!
Good morning and thank you for the message! God's work must continue and you folks are continuing! May the Lord continue to direct you and Pastor Stone! I b met you folks and bunked with your group for one night at the Alliance Men's retreat last fall! Continue to follow God's lead. He will protect us in the way He protects us! His way of protection is totally different than what the world's expectation of protection is! Right on!
