In this sermon, the preacher discusses the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. He points out that when God called out to Adam, he was hiding because he and his wife had realized their sin and were not ready to admit it. The preacher then goes on to talk about the fig tree mentioned in the Bible and how it symbolizes religion. He highlights that Jesus cursed the fig tree and denounced religion, emphasizing the importance of true faith and relationship with God rather than mere religious rituals.

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? Have you ever noticed that the tree that is here, they sowed fig leaves together, and that's the only tree that's mentioned, a tree that of knowledge of good and evil is not an apple tree. I don't know what it was, but I'm almost sure it wasn't an apple tree. They sowed the fig leaves. They were not ready to admit their lost condition, and that is the condition of man today in religion. He goes through exercises and rituals, and he joins churches, and he becomes very religious. Have you ever noticed Christ cursed the fig tree? Quite interesting. And he denounced religion right after that, by the way. He denounced it with all of his being.
