Noah’s story. Our Story. | Genesis 6:5-9:17
Genesis 6:5-9:17 tells us one of the most intriguing stories in the Bible, the story of Noah’s ark and the great flood. Children’s books and toys tell us Noah’s flood was a fun, colorful, day at the zoo, but the real story is much different and has lots of truths to teach us, ultimately telling us this. Noah’s ark is a story of God’s judgment and grace and that’s our story.
Two Families. One Hope. | Genesis 4:17-5:32
Genesis 4:17-5:32 tells us the story of two families, the descendants of Cain and the descendants of Seth. The family of Cain are the offspring of the serpent and the family of Seth are the offspring of Eve. Genesis 3:15 tells us that through Eve’s offspring, Seth’s line, will come a savior who will defeat sin, evil, and the family of the serpent. This new family comes to completion in Jesus Christ. We join the family of God through faith in the Son…
The Post-Fall Pattern and Human Reaction | Genesis 4:1-16
Genesis 4:1-16 tells the story of Cain and Abel. It warns us about sin and how it crouches at our door. We must flee from evil and pursue righteousness. Hurting others is the true mark of a fallen human.
Why is Everything Broken? | Genesis 3:1-24
Genesis 3:1-24 tells us the story of why the world is the way it is. Everything is broken. People hurt, they’re sad, wars rage, relationships crumble. Why? It’s because in Adam and Eve we blew it in the garden. We broke everything by not trusting God, by not obeying him. We decided we knew better and now everything is broken. But there’s hope… The “proto-evangelium” (the first gospel) in Genesis 3:15 tells us someone is going to come and rescue…
What does it Mean to be Human? | Genesis 1:26-31, 2:4-25
What does it mean to be human? Is it funny mistakes? Is it helping each other? Genesis 1:26-31, 2:4-25 tell us that to be human is to be made in God’s image, to be given life by God, and to experience relationship with God and others. We find our humanity when we find God… when we find Jesus.
Created to Trust | Genesis 1:1-25
In Genesis 1:1-25 we’ll learn five truths Moses taught the people of Israel as they wandered in the desert after leaving Egypt. They hoped to reach the promised land but because of their disobedience were sentenced to wander for 40 years in this wilderness. This is when they needed a message of hope, renewal, and re-creation the most. Moses gave them that hope in the creation poem of Genesis chapter one. The message is the same to us today. Come and trust…
