I Lost My Peace | Tim Ross | Missing Peace Pt. 1

Main message: People were created for relationship and peace (as in Eden), but that peace was lost when Eve yielded to the serpent's subtle doubt; knowing and standing on God's word and learning by faith (not experience) is the remedy for temptation.

Key points:

• Humans were not made to be alone; Eden represented wholeness, absence of shame, and complete peace (Genesis 2:25).
• The serpent attacked by planting doubt: "Did God really say...?" — temptation often begins by questioning God's clear commands.
• Eve's proximity to the forbidden tree showed latent desire; temptation exploits behavior and opportunity, not just words.
• Eve altered God's warning ("you must not touch it"), revealing biblical illiteracy and vulnerability to deception.
• We were meant to learn by faith (trusting God's warning) rather than learn the hard way by experience.
• The solution is being grounded in Scripture so you can identify and resist subtle distortions of God's word.

Scriptures mentioned: Genesis 2:25, Genesis 3:1–13, Hebrews 11:1
