Genesis 1:1

September 15, 2024

We kick off a fall series today called, Origins. Over the next three months we will look at the things that have their beginning in Genesis and under attack currently. Today, we begin with God and see what the first verse in the Bible reveals about Him.

Genesis 1:2-5

September 22, 2024

In this week’s message we ask why God, in the first verses of the Bible, would present His creation as unfinished, dark and void? What does He want us to know and how does it hint of the coming of Jesus?

Genesis 1:6-25

A worldview is the lens through which we see the world, define the world and make judgments about the world. In this message we continue to look at those things of God introduced in the earliest verses of the Bible and consider how they are to shape, not only our view of Him, but the world around us.

Genesis 1:26-31 - Pt 1

October 13, 2024

This is the first of a two part message on this passage. This message looks at four activities of God that show up: God said, created, blessed and saw. We spend a good amount of time considering what it means to be created in God's image.

Genesis 1:26-31 - Pt 2

October 20, 2024

In this second message looking at our text we focus specifically on the body, our bodies. What should we know of them, what's the problem with them, and how should we think of our bodies knowing that Jesus is embodied as we are and forever will be?

Genesis 1:26-2:15

October 27, 2024

What is the meaning and purpose for work? In this message we look at the origin or work and discover that we are made to work but there's a problem with it. We end by considering how we are called to rest and how both work and rest point us to the finished work of Jesus.

Genesis 2:18-25

November 3, 2024

When Jesus is asked a question in Matthew 19 about marriage and divorce, He responds by taking His questioners back to the beginning pages of the Bible. He asks them, "Have you not read?" In doing so Jesus not only doesn't defer to the culture of His day but affirms the importance and design of marriage as given by God and how His design transcends both time and culture. In this message we discover what we can about marriage by way of the first holy matrimony.
