Abraham #4 - In today’s passage we see Abraham and Sarah doubt God’s promise to give them a child. We see them reenact the story of the fall from Genesis 3 and the pain their lack of faith causes others. Most of all, we see a compassionate God who faithfully loves the unfaithful and the hurting.

Abraham #3 - Sometimes following Jesus can feel like it is costing us greatly. We can start to doubt if God’s promises to those who love Him will be true for us. In today’s Bible passage, Abraham doubts the promises God has made him. God is gentle and kind and reassures Abraham by establishing a covenant with him. And God extends a new covenant promise to us through Jesus Christ. Jesus dies in our place so that we can have a new covenant relationship with God, like Abraham did. All we have to do is believe.

Abraham #2 - In this passage, Abraham and Lot represent two ways we can live. Abraham’s faith in God and His promises allows him to give up his right to choose the land he settles in. He gifts the choice to Lot. Lot makes the best decision he can for himself based on what he thinks looks good. Will we live according to God’s wisdom, even when it seems like we are losing out? We can live for the good of others and in peace because God promises to work things out for the good of those who love Him. And God always keeps His promises.

(Genesis 11:27 - 12:9)
In this passage, God tells Abraham to leave his home and follow. Through his obedience, Abraham is blessed to be a blessing to the whole world. When God calls us to follow Him, we should respond with humility and gratitude. As we follow Him, we should always remember that whatever blessings He gives us are not meant for us to store up for ourselves. God blesses us so that we can bless others.
(Genesis 11:1-9)
In the Beginning #4 - Technology is advancing and humanity is excited about it’s potential. But this isn’t the first time in history we have been here. Today’s passage tells of another time in history when people were excited about a new technology and what they would be able to accomplish with it. The story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9 shows us that we cannot build our own value on our own accomplishments. Instead, we need to rely on God and rest in the name He gives us.
(Genesis 6-9)
In the story of Noah and the flood, God sends judgement on humanity. The idea of a God who judges is difficult for us to reconcile with his love. Today’s sermon helps us see that God’s judgement is rooted in his love for us and that in the midst of judgement, God always provides a path for salvation.
(Genesis 3:1 - 4:16)
In the Beginning #2 - The stories of Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel reveal a deeper pattern of human rebellion—our desire to take God's place and control our own lives. It shows that all sin, whether seemingly small or catastrophic, stems from the same root: mistrust in God's goodness and a belief that He’s withholding something we deserve. Yet, even in the midst of this brokenness, the message highlights God's grace—His persistent love, His pursuit of relationship, and His promise to set things right through Jesus. We are reminded that while sin leads to death, God's mercy leads to life.
