We trace Genesis 3 to show how the first religion was born from shame and self-reliance, and how the gospel invites us out of hiding. We ask direct questions that help you move from “don’t tell Dad” to “call Dad” and come home to a pursuing Father.
• the sword of the Spirit and equipping men for the fight
• Genesis 3 as the origin of religion through fig leaves
• sin as a terrible trade from intimacy to hiding
• rebellion versus religion as two ways to reject God
• religion says earn acceptance; gospel says accepted by Christ
• God seeks and asks “Where are you?”
• Jesus’ rescue mission for the sick and lost
• the Father’s heart in the prodigal, the shepherd, and the lost coin
• fathers modeling grace that draws children home
• a clear invitation to stop running and return to God
