Eve

The first woman, deceived by the serpent, who still named her son in hope.

The story

1. Made and brought Gen 2:21-25

   God makes her from Adam's side and brings her to him.

2. Did God really say? Gen 3:1-5

   The serpent questions God's word and promises she will not die.

3. She took and ate Gen 3:6-13

   She eats, gives to Adam, and admits the serpent deceived her.

4. Two sons lost Gen 4:1-16

   She bears Cain and Abel. Cain kills his brother and is sent away.

5. Another offspring Gen 4:25

   She bears Seth: God has given another child in place of Abel.

Questions to sit with

1. The temptation began with “Did God actually say?” Where is a voice making you doubt God's goodness?
2. Eve named Seth in hope after terrible loss. What would it look like to hope again after grief?
