0:00.0	The opening chapters of the Bible are the seedbed for the truth found throughout the rest of Scripture.
0:13.0	As we study the first 11 chapters of Genesis, we will discover principles that can guide us as we seek to have a new beginning with God. Are you in need of a
0:23.5	spiritual reset? Good news. Our God is the God of new beginnings. Let's join Scott Pauley now. finish this sentence i am now what would you put after it i am i am a man i'm a woman our day of course
0:47.0	is a day of great confusion identity confusion uh gender political political, doctrinal, family, everything. Such chaos in our world today.
0:59.4	What would you put after I am? I am a Christian. I'm a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Only God
1:06.0	can say, I am, period. I am that I am. We have to put something something after that and god is not the author of confusion
1:13.6	satan's work is always one of confusion of pollution of corruption and uh from the very beginning
1:22.3	from genesis chapter three what was he doing he was trying to change the way that Eve thought of herself,
1:30.1	that Adam would think of himself, to change their identity, just a little bit. Why would that be?

2:00.4	mind because before you do
2:03.3	something, you think about it. Every sin begins with a seed thought. Listen to Genesis 3,
2:11.0	verse 5 and verse 6. Verse 5, Satan says, God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
2:16.2	eyes shall be open and you
2:17.5	shall be as gods knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
2:23.2	and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the
2:27.8	fruit thereof and did eat and gave also under her husband with her and he did eat. So she took the little thought, Satan planted in her mind and made it her own.
2:38.4	Let me just remind you, every thought that courses through your brain is not your thought.
2:42.0	You can make it your thought.
2:43.7	Lots of things get suggested to us by the media, by a friend, by the enemy.
