The First Tempter [Children's Catechism 32 Simply Explained]
Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 32—especially explaining how Satan deceived the woman, tempting both her and the man.
Q32. Who tempted them to this sin? The devil tempted Eve, and she gave the fruit to Adam.(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson)
The lesson emphasizes that, while the serpent deceived Eve, Adam was not deceived and thus bore greater culpability due to his passive failure to lead and protect his wife spiritually. It highlights the importance of male responsibility in spiritual instruction, drawing from Genesis 2–3 and 1 Timothy 2 to argue that Adam’s failure to actively guard his wife from deception—despite being present—constitutes a grave dereliction of duty. The passages underscore the divine order of creation and leadership, where Adam was given the covenant, and thus bears primary responsibility for teaching and guarding the household. Ultimately, the Fall is a cautionary example to affirm the necessity of male leadership in the church and family, rooted in divine design and order.

The God of Peace Will Soon Crush Satan under Your Feet (2021.05.09 Morning Sermon in Exodus 1:15–21)
How is it that you can live with joy, and confidence, and zeal, even if you "call a spade a spade" and rightly recognize that Satan has his fingerprints all over what's going on? Because a truly complete perception will recognize, even more, that the LORD has His fingerprints all over what is going on—fingerprints that are inked with the victorious blood of our serpent-crushing Redeemer!
