How does Scripture describe the state of natural man?

The sermon addresses the condition of the natural man rooted in total depravity, as articulated in Scripture. We see that Pharaoh's decree to cast the male children into the river mirrors humanity's state—born dead in trespasses and sins, incapable of righteous action (Ephesians 2:1). This emphasizes our desperate need for a Savior, as we cannot change our spiritual state without divine intervention. Understanding this truth helps believers appreciate the grace and deliverance available through Christ, who provides new life.
