What went Wrong?

The sermon traces humanity's fall from divine obedience to self-reliance, rooted in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve rejected God's clear command by trusting the serpent's lie that they could be their own gods. Centered on Proverbs, Isaiah, and Romans, it emphasizes that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and requires surrendering personal understanding to divine revelation, which is unchanging and eternal. The preacher warns that when people abandon God's Word to define good and evil, they embrace spiritual blindness, leading to moral decay and societal rebellion against divine order. Yet, amid this fallen state, the sermon points to Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise—the one who bruises the serpent's head and provides salvation through His perfect sacrifice, clothed in the righteousness of His life. The call is clear: trust in the Lord with all the heart, reject self-justification, and walk in the light of Scripture, for only in Him are paths made straight and life truly fulfilled.
