In the Beginning - Calling Abraham

(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.

In the Beginning - Confusion

(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.

In the Beginning - Judgement

(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.

In the Beginning - Rebellion and Corruption

(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.

We are not accidents, but handcrafted beings designed for relationship, order, and meaningful work. When we embrace our place in God’s story, we find clarity and direction for how to live well in His world.
