This is Our Backstory | Rev. Brooke Hartman

We begin, in the beginning.  Our origin story begins with the creation of the heavens and the earth, creating humans in God’s image, and humans choosing self as opposed to God’s will.  The story of creation and Adam and Eve might be familiar, yet how do we see our origin story in our lives today.  Often times we begin with our sinful nature, yet our beginning is as part of God’s creation.  We are made in God’s image.  The next part of our origin story is the role sin played in the beginning and in our own lives today.  What are the ways that we choose to be God rather than live as God intended us?  This is our backstory. 

Scripture - Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 2:5-9, 15-18: Genesis 3:1-12
