Text: Genesis 3:8-14. ‘But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “where are you?”’ (verse 9). Much as Eve was the one who sinned first, God called Adam first to give an account of what had happened as the leader in that family. You realise it was after the sin had been committed,[…]
Text: Genesis 3:1-7. ‘…He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘you shall not eat of any tree in the garden?” (verse 1).

Text: Genesis 2:1-7. In God’s design, man was given the leadership role since he was the first to be created and then after a period of time, God created Eve, verse 7.
