What Is Sin? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, we return now to Ordinary Time, and this Sunday, the Church gives us such a fundamentally important reading from the third chapter of the book of Genesis, which is about the fall. To return to this story-written, under God’s inspiration, with stunning perceptiveness-is to discover again the nature and basic dynamics of sin.

Reading 1 - Gn 3:9-15
Psalm - Ps 130:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8

I'm 59 years old and cradle born Catholic, but how is it I feel like I'm hearing things for the first time whenever I listen to Bishop Barron. Bishop Barron is truly a remarkable speaker/teacher. Thank you Bishop Barron.

[@nonnie4angels165]

I am so blessed to listen to Bishop Robert Barron 🙏

[@angelsbreath311]

Same with me❤

[@anneturner2759]

because you are hearing things for the first time.

[@jmclay4317]

Omg, I said exactly the same thing to my friend earlier.

[@tj-gz6dk]

We been robbed of good Catholic teaching. Thank God for Bishop barron

[@kkurova9345]

I have never been a Catholic before. Just figuring it out now, at 30 years old. Thank you for being a part of my beginning.

[@Benjaminsmallwood]

I began at 30...I'm now 60... GOD IS LOVE....ALWAYS

[@tonyjohnbradley]

Thank you for sharing this. ❤

[@Jimmylimmy3939]

Began my journey 2 years ago with the help of Bishop Barron. Was confirmed this past Easter. Best decision ever. God is good

[@richardnicholus6231]

I never heard Genesis explained like this in my 74 years of life. You are a gifted teacher and speaker.

[@Banban_tv]

genesis 8:21

[@alanarcher]

Being called a 'Fellow Sinner' is extremely humbling. Thanks, Bishop Barron.

[@wonderwoman6232]

I am so glad I found Bishop Barron. I am 62 and Catholic. I am on my journey back to God. I have started attending church again. I am also going through Father Mike's Bible In A Year. On day 223. I have terrible memory issues. Possibly dementia, and I don't remember much of anything I hear. My reading ability has also gone bad. I won't remember what Bishop Barron said, but I can keep coming back and listening to it. Thank you so much.❤

[@reneecostello3824]

Praying for you and your memory problems.

[@cynthiacalderon2343]

I will be praying for you. I am 61 and have been Catholic my whole life, I also have returned to Church and I am also on my way to see Jesus. I have undergone 25 major surgeries, since the age of 26 as well as asthma since the age of 2, so my body and soul are tired! I love listening to Bishop Barron because first he’s got a great speaking voice, he teaches in a different way that makes me understand much better. I listen to him on Hallow. I pray God gives you the strength and understanding for everything in your life. God bless you. Bishop Barron, thank you and May God give you many more years of health so that we may learn and understand more about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you.🙂🙏🏼🙏🏼💞

[@БорисЧернуха-ъ9т]

I am an Orthodox Christian from Kazakhstan and I really love these sermons. Very meaningful and thoughtful. Thank you Bishop Barron!

[@tjnkorz8408]

This is how Satan attacks us every day, insulting us, accusing us, undermining us with guilt and shame, trying to make us feel inadequate, not worthy. It's no wonder that mental health issues are on the rise due to this conflict between who Satan says we are and who Jesus proclaims us to be. We need to proclaim daily that we belong to Christ, that we are forgiven, saved by the shedding of His precious blood on the cross, that we are adequate, accepted and loved. No reason for despair here, only hope! Thank you Bishop Barron!

[@lawtonseal7293]

Amen and very well said.

[@polpunsalan4849]

❤​@@lawtonseal7293

[@Benjaminsmallwood]

AMEN!!

[@lubopazitny6319]

If this man wont be named teacher of the church post mortem then i dont know who will. Deep and profound understanding of God and his ways. Holy spirit is mighty with him.

[@miriambabst4614]

Thank you God for using Bishop Barron as Your instrument. We who passionately seek Your Word need more shepherds like him.

[@DawnTynerJones]

*Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..*

[@JohnClutter]

Hello!! how do you make such monthly, I’m a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself 😭 because of low finance but I still believe God

[@DawnTynerJones]

Thanks to my co-worker (Carson ) who suggested Ms Christy Fiore

[@Josephmaigue-ju5ib]

She's a licensed broker here in the states🇺🇸 and finance advisor.

[@Josephmaigue-ju5ib]

After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery….Glory to God, shalom.

[@BrayenWaichigo]

Can I also do it??? My life is facing lots of challenges lately

[@mjmalone9759]

Excellent explanation. God is always calling, “where are you?” His love for us is so deep.

[@leelapushpa6450]

God's love and mercy always prevails despite our sins

[@TruthWillprevail1313]

I know that God will make a way. Heavenly Father, only you know the burdens I face. As a single mom I’m struggling to make ends meet. Lord give me strength to get through each day. Both of my sons are special needs and require much from me. It’s difficult to raise children alone. BUT I keep faith Lord Jesus. Even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. Jesus deliver me.💕

"A new world has come. The old prince is being cast out, and a new King has arrived. Accept his kingship, live within his kingdom." *- Bishop Barron*

[@Goldieloxs23]

❤ hi my name is Virginia. I’m a 56-year-old woman I’ve been a follower of Bishop Barron for two years now my mother turns me onto him and his channel. I am a cradle born Catholic although I stepped away from the church for years I have been back faithfully for the past two years. I use Bishop Barron to prepare before I go to church each week. I listen to his weekly sermon and it makes church easier to follow along with the readings or the gospel and homily. thank you Bishop Barron for your service and for your words you truly are amazing a gift from God

[@reneecostello3824]

I find myself comparing the sermons I hear at church with BB's sermon. Often very different though not opposing, just focusing on a different aspect of the readings. BB's perspective is always spot on.

[@carolesaldanha8806]

I am always thrilled to bits when I listen to Bishop Barron. He explains the Bible with such alacrity and clarity it opens my mind to its depth and meaning. I love to listen to him in his Word on Fire sessions. A phenomenal introduction to fascinating subjects in life’s lessons, eliminating the jargon and getting down to reality. He has truly made me relish being Catholic all over again. Thank you Bishop for making it so very interesting not only theoretically but practically too. Your documentaries are informative and I learn so much from them. Thank you again.🙏

[@danielcharlebois1626]

Bishop, you are a great teacher. Thank you for your efforts to lead us to Christ!

[@michaelcore8181]

One of his best sermons yet. Boils the entire Bible down to its essential meaning.

[@FlyingGospel]

Exactly. The entire Biblical narrative is captured here. Bishop Barron has an incredible gift being able to present things so powerfully and clearly.

[@Benjaminsmallwood]

Everything is present in this sermon!!!!

[@Benjaminsmallwood]

This sermon made JOY spring fom my heart,love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ BURST from my being!! How GREAT God IS!! It is FREEDOM in Jesus our Savior!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Bishop Barron!

[@NUKE.2024]

God has gifted us with this anointed Shepherd ! Thank you Bishop for helping to bring Jesus' salvation for us.

[@pjk.993]

14:12 I am into my 81 year as a grateful Catholic and I feel as the 56 +- Catholic woman wrote. Why is so much of what you teach us so new to me? Are you and other sources of Truth the reason I am living so long? So I might eventually deserve to die in grace? Thank you!

[@motherofsorrowstheimmacula2594]

"Heck with them, heck with them they didn't listen to me." love that part, a great shepherd.

[@josephpaul6618]

That's the way. Go back to the Bible and rediscover the essence of the Gospel. Thank you bishop Barron. So simple yet so profound. God bless you evermore.

[@marcoborja834]

Thank you Bishop Barron. A profound and simple explanation about the last Sunday readings.

[@johncannon6215]

Paix! Théologie profondément libératrice. Un délice pour le cœur et un remède pour les blessures. « Venez à Moi, vous qui peinez… » Vous êtes un grand don , cher Père, pour tant de nos frères et sœurs accusés, jugés et condamnés. Que Dieu vous garde et vous bénisse et qu’Il nous fasse tous entrer dans les entrailles de Sa Miséricorde infinie.

[@eugeniointimetimer9218]

Amen

[@marthasandoval2654]

God bless our Bishops Barron

[@RayEmmerson]

Nice to hear a Priest say "Get out your bibles. Look at ...." Thanks Bishop Barron.

[@luluq01]

He always starts his homilies in that way.

[@iliaabasi5250]

I am not a catholic but I try to watch your sermons every Sunday and Today was my birthday and I completely relate to the thing that you said about being lost in our happiest moments Today has been really nice for me anyways Bishop you are such an inspiration for people no matter the religion keep up the good work and continue to glorify GOD

[@declancronin437]

God bless you on your journey 🙏

[@analuizapennabuarquedealme2565]

Perfect! Thank you, Bishop Barron. Now I can understand this reading from the Genesis.

[@vincenzo3371]

Jesus came to save us from satan , his demons and from eternal death ...

[@fabrizioiandiorio3791]

Bravo. I am writing from Rome. We need urgently a new Pope like You

[@Annie-lu5rt]

@fabrizioiandiorio, I've been thinking the same thing.

[@victoryazbek7375]

Absolutely brilliant Bishop Barron! God bless you, as always 🙏🏻

[@jimmyboeingbeep]

The Spirit is strong in you Bishop. Satan attacks us all and know he must certainly challenge you as one of his fiercest adversaries, I pray for your strength in that battle. Bless you Bishop

[@HeWillAdd65]

These Sunday Sermons are always good; this one, was exceptional. Thank you Bishop!

[@morrisjalal6061]

Bishop barron you are my inspiration for sharing the word of God meaningfully to the faithful . Thankyou. Fr. Morris Jalal OFM. Cap pakistan.

[@mariace4848]

Dear Bishop I just wrote about this in my journal before listening to your pod cast. I’m convinced I deserve hell and May even be destined for it. I thought may be I am the persecutor and hoping Jesus is my defense. Seemingly the Lord is calling me closer to him as these thoughts are processed mean while despair lurks around the corner waiting to pounce. My desire to be with the Lord at mass, in prayer and reading scripture is very high and a part me wonders if this moment I could do any of those things could be the last time I get to. I hope He keeps calling me closer and I get to bring a lot of friends with me.

[@justonlyjean-su5ti]

I heartily recommend developing the habit of finding Adoration hours. I began a year or two ago occasionally and I now try to go weekly. Sometimes all I have are fifteen minutes; at others, an hour or more. Being open while you wait upon Him there will come to transform you, quietly, in the most profound and amazing ways. Me, I do nothing (and can get sleepy, have a distracted and irreverent mind, etc.). But in persistence and patience, I’ve come to know He will communicate His Grace to His adorers. Christ is so kind, generous, strong, and faithful. We are children of an amazing God.

[@chrismults1500]

Wow!! This was jam packed full of wisdom & teaching! I’m always amazed how Bishop Barron can read a gospel that I have heard/read many times during my lifetime and give me a new way to ponder & invite God’s Word into my life.

[@teresa-ph4gt]

Thank you so much bishop, truly, it's a transformational sermon. I came to understand me... Shame and blame game. I'm sorry dear God, I'm guilty... I am! For many, many years I joined that game., yet You alone can help me O God... be merciful to me a SINNER!

[@treezmathew]

Explained so well and as always bringing me closer to understanding my faith❤ Bless you Bishop and the whole team.

[@truthseeker-xh7mv]

Thank you for this message. It is so powerful

[@lisacatherineschaubroeck2348]

[@hugh009]

We are doing a in depth study of Genesis and we learned this very thing: ALIENATION from GOD leads to SHAME which leads to BLAME!

[@lisag.8389]

Wow. Just what I needed to hear today.... thank you Bishop Barron 🙏🏻

[@MV-cr7mq]

Bishop Barron is worthy successor to Archbishop Sheen.

[@SofiaMillsaps]

I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me. Now i have a home a husband and a lovely year old daughter (Zoa), and a stream of income that get me $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!

[@SarahLynn-nw9ut]

But how do you make so much in a month?mind sharing?

[@SofiaMillsaps]

Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place

[@DorothyBlevins1]

YES!!! That's exactly her name (Mary Margaret Schimweg) so many people have recommended highly about her😊 and am just starting with her Brisbane Australia🇭🇲

[@climbuptheladder]

This bishop has unpacked so brilliantly the core substance of the bible and the good news. And that too in under 15 minutes. 🙏

[@NaoimhBeirne]

What a brilliant sermon!!! Perfect sense! I've often wondered why we are all 'actors', with everyone we interact with. I had deduced it's a trust issue, that there is no one earthly who is 100% trustworthy. And just decided that didn't matter as long as we trusted in God, but this reveals a whole different answer in a way, that is soul resonating. A lifleong Catholic in Ireland, but only through phenomenal speakers from around the world am I only now truly discovering what it's all about. It was all so oppressive until recently. Go raibh míle maith agat agus Dia leath Easpag Baron
