Week 1: Understanding What Was Lost

Understanding What Was Lost - Lent Series: A Look in the Mirror

When we don’t understand what was lost, we won’t understand the ache we carry.

In Genesis 1–3, we see more than the beginning of the world—we see the life we were created for. Humanity walked in perfect relationship with God, fully known and completely unashamed. This was shalom.

But in a moment of rebellion, everything was lost.

Since that day, every human heart has carried a deep longing—a restless ache we try to explain, suppress, or satisfy in a thousand different ways. Scripture shows us that this ache isn’t random… it’s the echo of what we were made for.

In this message from“A Look in the Mirror,”we look honestly at the human condition. God’s Word reveals both His perfection and our brokenness—not to condemn us, but to awaken us.

Because until we see what was lost…
we won’t understand why we need to be saved.

Scripture:Genesis 1–3, James 1:22–25
