Adam – Second Adam; Creation – New Creation

This weeks sermon was on the Fall.  Though I struggled as to where to place the Fall in the order of sermons on Genesis 1-3, I decided to place it early because all other topics in these chapters has to be taken through the grid of the Fall to make sense to us today.  Just as they have to go through the grids of Redemption, Continuation and Consummation.   So this week I tried to show the comprehensive nature of the Fall; that it broke down 3 fundamental relationships: human-human, human-creation, human-God.  And then I broadly showed how Jesus the Messiah, the Second Adam, brings about the New Creation (2 Cor. 5:17).  And in the next several weeks, we will be looking at what this New Creation is all about as it relates to the strained relationships  from the Fall.
