“Reference to the Fall: "about eating forbidden fruit... The woman listened thoughtlessly when Satan was speaking."”
A Sunday service focused on 'conditions for fellowshipping with God,' teaching that sin severs fellowship while genuine salvation, repentance, holiness, prayer, worship and obedience restore and sustain intimacy with God. The sermon combined exhortation, testimonies from a recent convention, practical steps for spiritual establishment, and a call to respond.
““What was the very first thing that Eve was tempted with in the Garden of Eden?””
The service centered on seeking divine wisdom by relying on God as our ultimate guide — summarized as "God GPT" (Grace, Power, Timing). The preacher called listeners to repent, pursue intimacy with the Holy Spirit, embrace the disciplined process of discipleship, and practice integrity, cheerful giving, baptism, and obedience rather than chasing quick fixes or surface-level faith.
“Paraphrase of the Eden account: the serpent asks 'Hath God said...?' and tempts them with 'you won't die,' after which they ate the fruit and died spiritually.”
Pastor Steve Wilburn (Core Church LA) preaches from Ephesians 4 on how Christians are to "learn to walk" with Christ: beware false teaching, lay aside the old sinful ways, and intentionally put on the new, Christlike life. He calls believers to mature discipleship by testing teaching against Scripture, repenting, replacing harmful habits (lies, crude speech, theft, uncontrolled anger) with truth, kindness, work, forgiveness, and holiness, and issues an invitation for spiritual renewal.
“The account of Eve in the garden where God gave one command not to eat of the tree and the serpent tempted her.”
Laurie Wilburn preaches from 1 Samuel 15 on the danger of selective obedience—how partial compliance with God's commands leads to judgment, loss of blessing, and the need for genuine repentance and wholehearted obedience.
