Genesis 3:14-19 - The Gospel Before the Gospel: God's Curse on the Serpent
In this powerful sermon from Genesis 3:14-19, explore the protoevangelium—the first glimpse of the gospel amid humanity's fall. God curses the serpent (and Satan behind it), declaring eternal enmity between the woman's seed and the devil's offspring. Discover divine irony: Satan attacks through a woman and a tree, but God redeems through a woman's seed (Christ's virgin birth) and a tree (the cross). Trace the holy war between two spiritual lineages—the elect in Christ vs. the children of darkness—and see how Jesus, the ultimate Seed, crushes Satan's head while suffering a bruised heel. A message of poetic justice, election, and triumphant redemption that echoes from Eden to Calvary.

Genesis 3:8-13 – Hiding from God: Shame, Blame, and the Call to Confess
After the Fall, Adam and Eve’s paradise turns to panic. In Genesis 3:8-13, they hide from God’s presence, gripped by shame and fear. Pastor Partridge unpacks why God allowed the Fall (for His greater glory and the display of redemption), how sin fractures every relationship, and why our fig-leaf excuses always fail. God’s questions aren’t for information but for confession. The only covering that works? Christ’s righteousness. A sobering call to stop hiding, own your sin, and run to the mercy found in Jesus.

The Forge of Faith
Many Christians today want comfort without cost. Pastor Clarke says it’s time to remember what we were born for. In this fiery message from 1 Peter 1:3–9, he shows that faith isn’t fragile—it’s forged. Through the resurrection of Christ, we are born again into a living hope that endures the furnace of trials, secures our eternal inheritance, and fills us with inexpressible joy.

The six implications of masculine rule
In this sermon, Pastor Partridge unpacks six biblical implications of masculine rule from Genesis 2, showing how God’s creation order establishes headship, work, and companionship before the fall. From Adam’s formation to his responsibility in the garden, we see how divine design shapes the foundation for marriage, family, and human purpose.
1. Created First: Adam’s creation before Eve reveals a creational order that points to masculine headship.
2. Moral Responsibility: God gave the moral command to Adam alone, making him accountable for the spiritual condition of the garden.
3. Helper Fit for Him: Eve was created as a complementary helper, equal in value yet distinct in role—designed to complete, not compete with, man.
4. Naming the Animals: Adam’s authority to name creation reflects his God-given leadership and stewardship.
5. Eve from Adam: Eve being formed from Adam’s rib symbolizes unity, love, and covenant oneness.
6. Naming Eve: Adam naming his wife expresses covenantal headship and affection, establishing God’s divine order in marriage and family.
Pastor Partridge concludes by connecting Eden to eternity: just as Adam was placed in paradise to work and worship, believers will one day serve and rejoice in the restored creation—free from sin, clothed in righteousness, and living in perfect fellowship with God.
