 - Genesis 3 WHAT CAUSED MAN'S FALL - The Word of God was Distorted - The Word of God was Denied - The Word of God was defiled - The will of God was decreed * How was the Word of God distorted? - The devil added a provision that God didn't add (Gen. 3:3) - He subtracted from the penalty * They denied the Word of God (Gen. 3:5-6) - There was a ploy to offer an alternative to God's will - He suggested to them that God is less than His Words. * How was the Word of God defiled? - The devil appealed to their sense organs (pleasing to the eye) - He appealed to their sensory level (good to eat) - Adam did not warn his wife. *Why they hid themselves - Shame - Fear - Guilt (These are the results of sin) LESSONS FROM THE FALL - The standard is God's Word - Sin is our problem - Suffering is because of sin - Our solution is Christ

MAN IN THE IMAGE OF GOD - Rev. Dr. Olalekan Fatiloro Genesis 1:26-27, Psalm 8 * What does it mean when the Bible says Man was made in the image of God? - It means we have some qualities that God has given unto us which makes us different from other beings * Because of what God has done, we ought to worship Him * We need to make the LORD our Lord. SOME ATTRIBUTES GIVEN TO US BY GOD - We are rational beings - We are moral beings - We have free will: God doesn't force anything on us. - Man is relational - God demands that we be united

TOPIC:    MARCH ON TO GREATER GLORY TEXT:      ACTS 8: 4-17 Acts 8:4-17 (NIV) 4 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. 5 Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there. 6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid close attention to what he said. 7 With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed. 8 So there was great joy in that city. 9 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great, 10 and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, "This man is the divine power known as the Great Power." 11 They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his magic. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they...
