All right. Well, I want to be in Genesis chapter three with you tonight into chapter four. So if you

would turn there, this is going to be just a good old-fashioned Bible study that I want to dissect. And Genesis,

important part. And it's one of God's characteristics that's found

here in the book of Genesis, particularly in chapters three and four. And so I'm going to read

half the chapter of chapter three, and then we'll keep dissecting it and going through even into

chapter four. But the title of my message today is, where are you? Where are you?

That's one of his attributes that we see here, because if you skim through the first five chapters of Genesis, you miss a lot of who God is, what mankind is all about, and how he is a loving

father, not just creator, but a father. And so Genesis chapter three, and we're going to start

going to be fun, and we'll just dive deep So buckle up. It's going to be fun.

And we'll just dive deep into this.

See what God has for us.

He said to the woman, did God really say, you must not eat from any

tree in the garden? The woman said to the serpent, we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,

but God did say you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not

touch it, or you will die.

You will not surely die, the serpent said to the woman, for God knows that when you eat of it,
