He Drove Out the Man

Genesis 3

About the Sermon

We are all lonely exiles here. Part of what it means to become a Christian is to understand this simple truth. This world for all of its wonder and beauty is ultimately a corrupted place because we are a corrupted race. With this sermon we begin a five-part series, Out of Our Loney Exile, a title that takes its cue from the song, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." We will begin at the beginning of the Bible and work our way to the end, tracing our movement from the garden to the new creation, a story of exile and deliverance.

About the Series

“O come, O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel; That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.” Lonely exile. That’s one way to describe life east of Eden. The Lord drove us out of the garden because we were intent on driving him out of our lives. There is no way back to that place, but there is a way forward. The Lord Jesus has come to ransom us from our lonely exile here. In this short series we work through the Bible’s story in five stops, working from Eden to the New Creation, from our original home to a greater home still.
