2007 GLOBAL PROJECT: We're buying
a farm for Christmas!
Goal: $2470
So far:
What do you get when you give two pigs, two alpacas, two sheep, two cows, and two goats? The satisfaction of providing new hope and lasting impact for up to 10 families in need around the world! These farm animals will bring smiles to the faces of moms and dads who will be able to feed their children and increase their family incomes, thanks to you. The next best thing to seeing a child milk, shear, or care for one of these animals is to share the joy of this gift with someone close to your heart.
Save your pocket change (even the paper kind!)
and bring it to Collegium or Tuesday Night Bible Study each week.

Pastor Charlie
Review:
CREATION (1-2)
FALL (3, 4)
FLOOD (6-9)
TOWER (11)
PATRIARCHS (12-50)
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph
WHAT LEADS TO SIN, Genesis 3:1-6
“…but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;
and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death” (James 1:14-15, NIV).
* Doubt - “Did God really say…”
* Deception – “You will not surely die…” “You will be like God….”
* DESIRE - “When the woman saw…”
* DECISION - “she took some and ate it…and he ate it” Romans 5:14
* DEATH: Spiritually, they died; Physically, they started to die. Romans 5:12, 14
OUR RESPONSE TO SIN, Genesis 3:7-13
* Shame – so we cover up
* Fear – so we hide, John 3:20
* Guilt – so we blame others
GOD’S QUESTIONS, Genesis 3:9-11
* Where are you?
* Who do you believe?
* What have you done?
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, NIV).
THE IMPACT OF SIN, Genesis 3:14-20
* The Relationship with God is broken resulting in separation of mankind from their creator.
* The Process of decay and death begins resulting in mankind toiling while on earth and life ending in death.
* The Disease of sin infects the whole human race resulting in a hopeless state of sinfulness.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23, NIV).
GOD’S RESPONSE OF GRACE TO MANKIND’S FALL, Genesis 3:21-24
* God made them garments.
* God banned them from the garden.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6, NIV).
