In this Sunday School session, Charles Sebold explores the immediate and far-reaching consequences of the Fall in Genesis 3. Using the Depression-era hobo song "Big Rock Candy Mountain" as a whimsical entry point, he contrasts a fanciful vision of ease and delight with the cursed world we now inhabit due to Adam's sin. The lesson emphasizes three primary categories of consequence: the cosmic (e.g., death, decay, entropy, and futility permeating all creation), the noetic (the darkening of the mind and suppression of truth), and the existential (toil, pain, and alienation from God). Sebold roots his theological framework in Genesis 3, Romans 5, Romans 8, and Ephesians 4, affirming that Christ, the Second Adam, not only redeems individuals but will one day liberate all creation. The teaching ends with a preview of next week's focus: understanding why we still sin and what believers are to do about it.
