Genesis 5 may read like a simple list of names, but it is God preaching through a genealogy—showing us that history after Eden is not “business as usual,” but the outworking of His promise in Genesis 3:15. The sermon traced…
At the end of Genesis 3, Adam and Eve have been expelled from Eden. The serpent has been cursed, the ground has been cursed, and the first man and woman are already tasting the bitter judgments of sin. But even…
