    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,747 views

    Today's message looks at "The Fall of Humanity." But it moves beyond to look at humanity's rise once again. It also looks at the process of temptation, including questioning and denying God's word, and how that leads to misinterpreting God's motives in giving His word.

    The Fall and Rise of Humanity Genesis 3:1-11 ** Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_D8NkKbwGI At the end of last year, the Lord laid on my heart the word, “remnant” and the “remnant church,” and began to show me what the remnant church was going to look like.
