    The First Evangelistic Sermon

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023
     | 917 views

    The fall of humanity as recorded in Genesis 3 shows the consequences of rebellion but also the promise of redemption from a merciful God who desires that no one perish, but that everyone would come to Him for everlasting life.

It is the work of Almighty God and is a testimony to logic, rationality, meaning, purpose, and the precise design of what we know as science. Within the first two chapters ...read more
