Wise as a Serpent | Andrew Scotland | Genesis 3

In this powerful sermon, Andrew Scotland explores Jesus's profound instruction to His disciples: "Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16). Drawing a direct line back to the Garden of Eden, Andrew reveals how Adam and Eve failed to embody this wisdom, falling victim to the serpent's deception and losing their innocence. He emphasises that just as God has "God appointments" in our lives, there are also "devil appointments," where the enemy subtly operates, often blinding us to his true intentions and making his actions appear as God's work.

Andrew Scotland further unpacks the enemy's insidious tactics, showing how he twists God's word, manipulates for personal gain, and denies the negative consequences of sin by promising false benefits and "special knowledge" that ultimately leads to guilt and shame, not true wisdom.
