The God Who Gives Himself Away

Nov 23, 2025    Adam Smith

Pastor Adam takes us back to the very beginning of our story with God—a story that starts not with scarcity, but with abundance. We didn't begin our existence working for God's blessing; we began by resting in it. But the serpent entered this paradise and reframed one boundary as deprivation, planting the poisonous lie that God was withholding something from us. Every sin since then echoes this same lie: grasping for control because we doubt His care, hoarding because we doubt His provision, disobeying because we believe there's more joy outside God's will than inside it. The cross is God's blazing answer to the serpent's whisper. Romans 8:31-32 reminds us that if God didn't spare His own Son, how will He not graciously give us all things? The sacrifice of Jesus shatters the spell of scarcity forever.
