Adam and Eve Part 1

Feb 19, 2026    Pete Pawelek

In this message, Pastor Pete walks through Genesis 3 to show how the first humans created a terrible mess and how God responded with mercy instead of abandonment. Adam and Eve tried to hide their sin with leaves and fear, just like we hide today behind excuses, busyness, image, religion, or shame. Yet God still draws near and asks the same tender question He asked in the garden: “Where are you?”


God pursues us in our mess and calls us out of hiding and into honesty, repentance, and relationship. Even when sin breaks everything, God provides. He clothed Adam and Eve, protected them, and pointed forward to the Savior, who would one day cover our sin completely. This message reminds us that Eden’s mess leads to God’s mercy, and no matter how far we have drifted, God loves us and there is nothing we can do about it. Stop hiding. Step into His grace.
