In Death for Life, Pastor Ben Smith, Sr. explores Genesis 3:20–24, showing how God’s first act of redemption in Eden points to Christ’s death and substitutionary sacrifice. Discover how faith, a righteous sacrifice, and God’s grace bring true life.

Genesis 3:8–19 reveals the far-reaching consequences of sin. Pastor Ben Smith explains how sin breaks fellowship, disrupts cooperation, and distorts purpose, bringing guilt, pain, and death. Yet even in this dark moment, God gives a promise of hope through Christ, who conquers sin and restores what was lost.

Is there something wrong with your body today? Is there something not working as it should, injured, or dysfunctional? Though there may be a few who would not admit to it, the answer for most is “yes.” For some, the dysfunction or injury is apparent. Others suffer from a physical or mental dysfunction that is not observable to others.

1 Corinthians 5:1-10 does not ignore the difficulties we experience in the flesh, but it does teach that there is purpose and blessing in your infirmities. The weakness and dysfunctions of your body remind you that your body is under the curse of sin and points you to the promises of God. Because Jesus died, was buried, and rose bodily from the grave, there is hope in a bodily resurrection to glorify bodies.
