Long Story Short: Waiting

You'd think that being dramatically rescued from slavery and led safely through the parted waters of the Red Sea would be enough to inspire a people to trust God for eternity. Apparently not. The people of Israel failed to trust God time and time again. So to form them more fully, God led them through the wilderness for 40 years before allowing them into the Promised Land.

The Long Story Short Class - Fall

This week in the Long Story Short Class we will be taking an in-depth look at Genesis 3. Guest speaker Alex Massad delivers a master class on how the fall of humanity relates to sin, death, and law. Alex also gives us an analysis on what did and didn't change because of the fall, and then invites us to look more broadly at creation as a whole and how other cultures different from one's own can provide valuable insight.
 
Editors note: Apologies! During the recording of this class, some unfortunate background noises occurred that made some of the audience questions and commentary unusable. Every effort has been made to preserve Alex's responses in as cohesive a manner as possible.

Long Story Short: Fall

God created man and woman in God's image to live in perfect, unbroken relationship with God, one another and all creation. But humanity's choice to try and be their own master, separated them from that close relationship with God and one another and marred their connection to creation.
