Losing our way

Published: March 1, 2015, 5 a.m.

b'We started our new series leading up to Easter which will be looking at how the life, death and resurrection is key to understanding how God restores humanity. But to do that we need to know how and why we need God to restore us.\\nSo, on Sunday we looked at the story of the Fall in Genesis 3. We looked at how, although we have been created by God to be in relationship with Him and each other, we preferred to avoid deep relationship and chose instead to disobey God; even though he warned us of the consequences. We saw how the wish to judge us is alien to God\\u2019s nature but that He will \\u2013 especially if we move too far away from the boundaries that God, out of love, has set societies to live within. He will judge us and allow us to live in exile, even though it grieves God\\u2019s heart.'
