From Gen. 3:6-7 I want to show you four sad stages in the fall of man, so we can all learn where sin begins, how sin expresses itself, how sin spreads to others, and the devastating consequences of sin, so that we can learn to hate sin and pursue holiness in the fear of God.

From Gen. 3:6-7 I want to show you four sad stages in the fall of man, but this morning we will only get to the first, which provides amazing application for all of us in our fight to avoid sinning and walk in obedience to the Word of God.

From Gen. 3:1-5 I want to point out three major parts of Eve’s temptation, so that we can understand the subtlety of Satan’s temptations and be on guard against them so that we are led astray from God’s Word into sin and rebellion.

From Gen. 3:1 I want to consider the grand question of the origin of evil in order to help equip you to give answers to skeptics and not adopt strange views that contradict the Bible or impugn the character and nature of God and then we will consider when the fall of Satan occurred.

We will consider many Scriptures to consider Satan’s main goal, some of his devices, demon possession, and the believer’s more than adequate resources against the world forces of darkness in the heavenly places.

In this sermon, I want to consider the ministry of holy angels in relation to unbelievers, and then get into the identity and works of demons so that you can have a better understanding of what both holy angels and demons are and do, so that you are not led astray by the mountain of false teaching about angels and demons in the world.

This morning we are going to examine the different ministries of holy angels described in the Bible so you can better understand what holy angels do and so you are not deceived by popular but false views of holy angels promoted in the world.

I want to address four categories about Satan, angels, and demons, to protect you from being led astray by false teaching, and to better equip you to live for God’s glory.

I want to address two different doctrines before we start moving through Gen. 3. One of those doctrines is the doctrine of angels and demons, the other the doctrine of man and sin. Understanding those two doctrines will help us understand Gen. 3 and its implications for our lives.
