The second creation account and the accompanying story of the Fall are well known by many.  And the story sets up the rest of Scripture to tell of blessings and curses in so many ways.  It is an attempt to explain to people how we get to where we are.  Look around - see the blessings and the curses of today in your life, your community, and the world.  The sermon is based on Genesis 2:4b-7, 15-17; 3:1-8.
