Genesis 3:1-7 is the hinge of all Scripture. Pastor Daryl Evans works through the first seven verses of the fall and argues that the same deception that took Adam and Eve is still working on us today. The serpent does not open with a lie. He opens with a question: did God actually say? In the Genesis series, Daryl traces a four-stage strategy the serpent uses: question God's Word, discuss it instead of obeying it, contradict it outright, then promise something better. He leans on JD Greear, who says Satan's great lie is not that God doesn't exist but that He doesn't have your best interest at heart, and Matt Chandler on how temptation takes a genuine, good desire and redirects it toward what God forbade. He closes with three plain charges: the enemy is real, the fall came from unbelief rather than ignorance, and there is reason to rejoice, because the last Adam, Jesus Christ, answered every temptation with Scripture and reverses the curse.
