When Adam and Eve rebelled against God’s commands, the result was physical and spiritual death, separation from God, and corruption in every part of their being and lives. Sin is evil, iniquity, transgression, and disobedience of God’s laws, offense to God’s glory and holiness, and deserving of judgment from God. (Genesis 3:1-23; Romans 1:18-32; 3:23; 5:12-13,18; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3)

Sermon
What is sin? In this message, John VanDyke unpacks the problem, experience, and solution of sin in the life of every person. You’ll discover why sin separates us from God and you’ll be encouraged that God’s answer to our sin is complete in Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus, we are hopelessly separated from God.
