December 14, 2025 – The Legend of the Serpent Crusher | Genesis 3 Baptist Bible Church, Sparta MI

From the opening pages of Scripture comes a promise that echoes all the way to the cross. In this Christmas message, The Legend of the Serpent Crusher, we trace Genesis 3 and see how Jesus fulfills God’s ancient promise to defeat humanity’s greatest enemies—sin, death, and Satan. Drawing from Romans 6:6–14, Revelation 1:17–18, and Colossians 2:13–15, this sermon proclaims the hope of the gospel with clarity and confidence.At the cross, Jesus didn’t merely forgive sin—He broke its power. Through His death and resurrection, He conquered the grave and stripped Satan of his weapons, securing true freedom for all who trust in Him.Key things we discuss: • True freedom is freedom from sin, not freedom from God (Romans 6). • The cross breaks sin’s power over the believer’s life. • Jesus holds the keys to death and Hades (Revelation 1). • Satan is a defeated enemy, publicly shamed by the cross (Colossians 2).
