Genesis 3:14-19 - The Gospel Before the Gospel: God's Curse on the Serpent

In this powerful sermon from Genesis 3:14-19, explore the protoevangelium—the first glimpse of the gospel amid humanity's fall. God curses the serpent (and Satan behind it), declaring eternal enmity between the woman's seed and the devil's offspring. Discover divine irony: Satan attacks through a woman and a tree, but God redeems through a woman's seed (Christ's virgin birth) and a tree (the cross). Trace the holy war between two spiritual lineages—the elect in Christ vs. the children of darkness—and see how Jesus, the ultimate Seed, crushes Satan's head while suffering a bruised heel. A message of poetic justice, election, and triumphant redemption that echoes from Eden to Calvary.
