Why it is that of all the billions and
billions of strange objects in the
cosmos—novas, quasars, pulsars,
black holes— YOU are beyond
doubt the strangest?

“Every man has forgotten who he is. One may
understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is
more distant than any star.... We are all under the same
mental calamity; we have all forgotten our names. We
have all forgotten what we really are…. we forget that
we have forgotten.”

Is it possible that we have
forgotten who we are ?

3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty
Genesis 3:1-10
than any other beast of the field that theLord God had made. He said the woman,“Did God really say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden.”
![Page 15: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2 And the woman said to the serpent,
Genesis 3:1-10
“We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You all noteat of the fruit of the tree that is in themidst of the garden, neither shall youtouch it, lest you die.’”
![Page 16: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4 But the serpent said, “You will not
Genesis 3:1-10
surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you shall be like God, knowing goodand evil.”
![Page 17: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
6 So when the woman saw that the tree
Genesis 3:1-10
was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she tookof its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
![Page 18: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
7 Then the eyes of both were opened,
Genesis 3:1-10
and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together andmade themselves loincloths.
![Page 19: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord
Genesis 3:1-10
God walking in the garden in the cool ofthe day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LordGod among the trees of the garden.9 But the Lord God called to the man
![Page 20: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
…and said to him, “Where are you?”
Genesis 3:1-10
10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”
![Page 21: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“In knowing God, each of us also knows himself.”

Because of the Fall, our basic orientation is
a falling away from God.
![Page 23: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We welcome all who are broken and need healing.
![Page 24: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

We enter the Story that Jesus is telling.
![Page 26: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“Your real, new self…will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are
looking for Him.”
![Page 27: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
“Our orientation toward greed, work, pride, porn,
gossip, lust, fear, or homosexuality is not
naming us; Jesus’s naming of us goes deeper than our accomplishments, our bank
accounts, our failures, or our genitals.”
![Page 28: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“He died defined by our sin,
so that we live defined by his
righteousness.”
![Page 29: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
We battle our fallen desires,
not endorse them.
![Page 30: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“All of us have desires that are warped as a
result of our fallen nature. Desires for things that God has
forbidden are a reflection of how sin has
distorted me, not how God has made me.”
Sam Alberry
Is God Anti-Gay? And Other Questions about Homosexuality, The Bible,
and Same-Sex Attraction
![Page 31: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
“The gospel resists the fallen inclinations of Christian
believers. When we engage with God in Christ and take seriously the commands for
purity that flow from the gospel, we always find our sinful dreams and desires challenged. From God’s perspective, our [sinful] inclinations are like ‘the
craving for salt of a person who is dying of thirst…’.
![Page 32: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
“...Yet when God begins to try to change the craving
and give us the living water that will ultimately quench
our thirst, we scream in pain, protesting that we were made for salt. The change hurts…. In the long run, the
cruelest thing that God could do would be to leave us
alone with our desires….”
![Page 33: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former
ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you
also should be holy in all your conduct….”
~ The Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1:14-15
![Page 34: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
“Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to
abstain from the passions of the flesh,
which wage war against your soul.”
~ The Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 2:11
![Page 35: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
We contend that Jesus is better and always worth it
![Page 36: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
In all my sorrows Jesus is better Make my heart believe
In all my victories Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
Than any comfort Jesus is better Make my heart believe
![Page 37: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
More than all riches Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Our souls declaring Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
Our song eternal Jesus is better Make my heart believe
![Page 38: Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55c82402bb61ebbc748b45fa/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Glory, glory! We have no other king but Jesus Lord of all.
