Genesis 1:1

February 5, 2020

I am NOT going to approach this book as a scientist and make a fool of myself. We all need to be careful when talking about things outside our expertise. I am going to use my area of expertise only—believing God!

Genesis 1:1-5

February 12, 2020

The first theme is that God saw it was good and, later, everything multiplied according to its kind. No room for evolution nor baseless theories about how long it took God to complete His creation.

Genesis 1:6-23

February 19, 2020

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Jesus not only created all things, He is sustaining all things.

Genesis 1:24-2:3

February 26, 2020

"God’s work is crowned by His greatest accomplishment—you and me. Everything God has done up to this point was done only to prepare His creation for the arrival of man!"

Genesis 2:4-25

March 4, 2020

Verse 4 says: "This is the account (generations; KJV—better) of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In other words, Moses is saying, ‘Here are the details (of ch.1),’ or the review of creation".

Genesis 3:1-7

March 11, 2020

There is no way to know how long Adam & Eve had been in the garden together and we do not know how long the devil had been plotting against them. The story makes it read like these things happened quickly but it is likely they did not...

Genesis 3:6-10

March 18, 2020

One of the first decisions we must make as Christians is between doing what’s good for us versus just doing what is good.

Genesis 3:10-24

March 25, 2020

"Tonight is all about consequences. Consequences that Adam could never have imagined. You see, from the beginning man has always been guilty of acting without considering what the consequences might be. We seldom think beyond the immediate temptation and, if we did, we would all save a lot of pain. Terrible, terrible pain..."

Genesis 4:1-8

April 1, 2020

"Religion has always been man's attempt to reach up to God, to be acceptable to him! Relationship with God through faith in Christ is the way God reached down to man! Why aren't man's works acceptable to God? Why can't man come to God on his own terms? Because the Bible says (Rom 3:23) 'all have sinned (continually) and fall short of the glory of God'."

Genesis 4:6-17

April 8, 2020

"I need to begin by declaring to everyone that the way of Cain is the way that leads to death, in spite of the fact that it remains the popular way of our world. Why is it so hard to do good, to do that which God says is right? As we continue our study in the evolution of sin, we will see 7 characteristics of sin which distorts our ability to accept sin for what it is. Sin is a killer!"

Genesis 4:18-5:32

April 15, 2020

"God is never without representation. Though by now the world was overrun with wickedness, God's plan would prevail. There have always been times throughout history when it appeared that evil has won, yet God always makes a comeback!"

Genesis 6:1-10

April 22, 2020

"God's response to vv.1-2 is an angry one! This is God's declaration of war, the only time in recorded history when God gives an exact date for judgment! The behavior of men and women on the earth had so grieved the Lord that He numbered their days! 120 years from the moment when this prophecy was given, rain would begin to fall on the earth and the judgment of the flood would destroy mankind."

Genesis 6:9-7:16

April 29, 2020

"One of the major problems within the church today (we can do nothing about what happens outside of the church) is that not enough Christians are convinced that God's perspective is the right one! Every believer has to choose who he/she is going to believe. Are we going to believe what God says is evil or will we believe the world we live in?"

Genesis 7:17-8:22

Genesis 9:1-23

May 13, 2020

"Our study ended last week with God smelling the pleasing aroma of Noah’s sacrifice and tonight God answers as He always does—with blessing. God didn’t leave Noah and his family in the ark nor did God leave Noah to fend for himself. In the same way, God never leaves us in the mess we’ve made and He is always looking for ways to bless us…"
