King's Way Sermons with Dale Partridge

This sermon opens Genesis chapter 4 and explains how the fall of Adam did not end with Eden but was passed down and intensified through humanity, beginning with Cain and Abel. Pastor Partridge frames the account as the first visible outworking of the promised conflict between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. The message emphasizes that both Cain and Abel worshiped God, showing that sin did not erase humanity’s impulse to worship—but it did corrupt the heart. Abel’s offering was accepted because it flowed from faith and devotion, while Cain’s was rejected because it lacked true faith, not because of the type of offering itself. God looks at the heart, not merely the external act. Cain’s angry response reveals the depth of human depravity after the fall. Even direct interaction with God did not produce repentance, demonstrating that saving faith requires God’s regenerating grace, not merely evidence, instruction, or religious activity. Cain’s murder of Abel marks the first death, the first martyr, and the first persecution of righteousness. The sermon concludes by showing how Abel’s death deepened humanity’s longing for the promised serpent-crusher, ultimately pointing forward to Christ. Redemption, Pastor Partridge explains, comes not through the strength of sinners but through the suffering of the righteous—fulfilled finally in Jesus, whose coming is celebrated at Christmas

In this sermon from Pastor Clarke, he unpacks the greatness of our salvation in 1 Peter 1:10-12. Peter shows a suffering church how Old Testament prophets, led by the Spirit of Christ, searched diligently into the grace we now have. They predicted the Messiah's sufferings and glories, knowing their words served us—the church of these last days. Even angels long to look into these things. Pastor Clarke stresses that salvation is God's eternal plan, not an afterthought. Christ authored and fulfilled every prophecy. Prophets saw shadows; we see the full reality in Jesus, with completed Scripture and the Holy Spirit indwelling us. This truth removes fear and doubt, brings unshakable peace, and calls us to forward-facing faith: building churches, families, and institutions that endure for future generations. Whatever trials you face, remember your salvation is ancient, secure, and precious—planned, accomplished, and applied by the God who holds His people fast.

In this sermon on Genesis 3:22–24, Pastor Partridge unpacks one of the most theologically rich moments in Scripture: God driving Adam from the Garden of Eden. Far from a simple narrative detail, this passage opens a window into the covenant of works, the purpose of the Tree of Life, and the surprising way God shows both judgment and severe mercy. The sermon explores how the Tree of Life functioned as a sacramental sign that conveyed life only through obedience, why God urgently barred Adam from eating its fruit after the fall, and how sacraments throughout Scripture always confirm the covenantal condition of the one who receives them. Pastor Partridge connects Genesis 3 to the broader story of redemption—our need for death, resurrection, and a Mediator who can pass through the flaming sword on our behalf. Ultimately, this message points us to Christ as the only way back to Eden, the One who restores access to the Tree of Life, and the One whose perfect obedience fulfills what Adam failed to do. A rich and stretching teaching that deepens our understanding of the gospel, the sacraments, and the hope of our final restoration.

After the devastating curses of Genesis 3, something shocking happens: Adam names his wife “Eve” — the mother of all living — in the very face of death. In this sermon, we see the first spark of faith in human history, God’s mercy in clothing Adam and Eve with animal skins (the first blood atonement), and the deep meaning behind God’s words, “the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.” Discover: • Why Adam naming her “Eve” is an incredible act of faith in God’s promise (Gen. 3:15) • How God’s provision of animal skins points directly to penal substitutionary atonement and the gospel • The difference between knowing good and evil God’s way vs. man’s way • The fourfold state of man (able to sin / not able to not sin / etc.) A powerful exposition showing that even in the darkest moment of the Fall, the light of Christ and the first gospel promise is already shining

Pastor delivers the powerful final part of a 3-week series on Genesis 3 and the Fall. Key takeaways: - God never cursed Adam or Eve directly — only the serpent and the ground. Yet Adam bears the ultimate federal responsibility as the head of humanity. - Adam’s two-fold sin: (1) He listened to the voice of his wife instead of God, and (2) he disobeyed God’s direct command. - This “listening to the wife over God” is the root of centuries of male passivity and the reason weak men allowed (and even enabled) feminism to flourish. - Classic effeminate slogans (“happy wife, happy life,” “she wears the pants,” etc.) are exposed as sinful expressions of marital disorder. - Feminism is ultimately men’s fault — weak fathers in the 1940s-50s failed to lead and disciple their homes, producing the rebellion of the 1960s and beyond. - The curse on the ground = poetic justice: Adam disobeyed over eating, so now eating (providing food) will be painful, sweaty, thorn-filled labor until he dies. - Work itself is not the curse (work existed before the Fall), but now it is frustrating and exhausting. - The entire curse pronounced on Adam is perfectly fulfilled and borne by Jesus, the Second Adam: sweat (Gethsemane), thorns (crown), death on a tree, laid in the dust — Christ absorbs it all so His people can be redeemed. - Only the gospel of the Second Adam can reverse the curse and restore godly order in men, women, marriages, families, and society. If you’re tired of chaos between the sexes and want biblical clarity on masculinity, responsibility, and redemption — this sermon is for you.
