Living Like a Disciple in Crazy Times: Where did I come from?
The Fall of the Human Race
Memory verse: The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8
Thinking About Sin
Do you believe that Eve, and therefore women, have received undo blame for the fall? See verse of the bluegrass classic “Like a Fox on the Run”.
Do you believe you are smart enough to out-wit Satan? If not, how can you stand against him?
As you examine your own pattern of sin, can you identify a pattern related to the temptations of the flesh, the world, and pride? Which is the most difficult for you to resist?
What spiritual leadership do you have in your life? What spiritual leadership do you provide?
The Fall was a result of three key failures:
A failure to know God’s word accurately.
A failure to resist the three basic forms of temptation.
A failure to provide proper leadership.

While not specifically a video about the fall, this is a fascinating and disturbing documentary about the evil of Freak Shows that were once so popular and still have a profound impact on our culture.
