Ages 9-12

This sermon traces sin’s origin through Satan’s rebellion and humanity’s fall, grounding children in the biblical narrative while maintaining theological depth. It’s honest about human depravity without being gratuitously dark, and it anchors the story firmly in God’s redemptive plan—essential context for understanding why we need Christ.

Worth knowing: The sermon discusses Satan, temptation, and death in theological terms; no graphic imagery, but the subject matter is weighty.

Character of GodApologetics & hard questionsWisdom & choices

Talk about it together (5 questions)
  1. What was the one rule God gave Adam and Eve, and what did God say would happen if they broke it?
  2. How did the serpent (Satan) trick Eve? What true things did he say, and what false things did he say?
  3. Why do you think Adam didn’t stop Eve from eating the fruit? What should he have done?
  4. The sermon says sin starts in the heart before we act on it. Can you think of a time you wanted something you shouldn’t have had, even before you took it?
  5. Even though Adam and Eve sinned and were punished, God promised to send someone to fix what they broke. Who was that person, and why did we need Him?
