Prayer, Providence & Prophetic Promises | Gen 24:29-67

December 8, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 24:29–67

In this profound exploration of Genesis 24, we dive deep into the beautiful love story of Isaac and Rebekah, discovering timeless truths about God's providence and guidance in our lives. The central message reminds us that when we walk in faith, God leads our steps. Just as Abraham's servant was led to find the perfect bride for Isaac, we too can trust in God's perfect timing and direction. This narrative encourages us to step out in faith, knowing that as we move forward, God will illuminate our path. The sermon challenges us to align our lives with God's mission, to be confident in His ability to bring His will about, and to never settle for less than His best. As we reflect on this story, we're invited to consider how we can actively pursue God's leading in our own lives, trusting that He is orchestrating our steps for His glory and our good.

A Bride For The Son By The Servant From The Father | Gen 24:1-28

November 24, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 24:1–28

In this section of Holy Scrip we see the unnamed servant of "Father" Abraham seeking a bride for his son, Isaac. He travels far and prays for success and gets his expectations exceeded in Rebekah. In this we see a picture, a type, of the Gospel; that God the Father would send the Holy Spirit to seek a bride for his Son, Jesus Christ, and that bride is the church — you and I! So cool.

Push Toward The Promise | Gen 23

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 23

In this chapter we see Abraham pushing through the pain & grief of losing his beloved bride, Sarah, and moving toward the promise that was made by God to Abraham to inherit the land and be a blessing to the world. He acquires land to bury Sarah, which will also be the place where he is buried as well as Isaac and Jacob.

In The foreShadow of The Cross | Gen 22

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 22

Genesis 22 is all about the Cross of Jesus Christ, and the Cross of Jesus Christ is the heart of Christianity, and Christianity is the hope of the world!

Promises, Provision & Prosperity | Gen 21

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 21

The PROMISES of God being fulfilled — it took a while, lol! The PROVISION of God for the outcast — He always makes room. The PROSPERITY of Abraham & the people of God into the future.

Faith, Fear & God's Unfailing Grace | Gen 20

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 20

The Destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah | Gen 19

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 19

Last week we looked at the compromised life of Lot who lived in Sodom & Gomorrah and was rescued before the destruction, and this week we look at the destruction of S&G. WHY did God destroy S&G? WHAT sin(s) contributed to its destruciton? IS there any evidence of the destruction? HOW can we learn from this and apply it to our sinful world today?

The Sad State of a Compromised Life | Gen 19

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 19

Before Sodom & Gomorrah are destroyed because of their great sins, the angels visit what seems to be the only "righteous" person in the cities — Lot. Sadly, he has lived a life of comPROMISE and forfeited the PROMISE of God for a powerless existence. He has had no Godly impact on the city and in fact ends up losing pretty much everything and everyone close to him. There is a lot for us modern Christians to learn from the life of Lot.

How To Pray For The World — & Your Neighbor | Gen 18:22-33

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 18:22–33

We can learn a lot from Abraham as he boldly & humbly intercedes on behalf of the wicked cities of Sodom & Gomorrah. We are here to intercede for our world today — from the Bay Area to the ends of the earth.

How To Be A Friend of God | Gen 18:1-21

August 25, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 18:1–21

Abraham is the only person in the OT whom God calls His friend — it was the mark upon Abraham's life. What can we learn from the life of Abraham in what it means to be God's friend. Jesus calls His disciples friends in the NT and the fact this amazing opportunity is opened up to us should humble and inspire us more than anything else!

Putting the HA in AbraHAm | Gen 17

August 18, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 17

Fine, We'll Do It Ourselves | Gen 16

August 11, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 16

We continue to see a few blunders from Sarai & Abram which goes to show that God can and will use ANYONE who is willing and remains teachable. His grace is amazing!

Start The Patriarchy | Gen 15

August 4, 2024 • Pastor Jason Frei • Genesis 15

We are deep in Patriarchal history and can take lessons into our own lives about how we are to "fear not", and "look up" in considering God's promises to His people — and to receive Christ brings you into the family of God.

The Path of Righteousness | Gen 14

A Faith Being Forged | Gen 12-13

Abrams faith is being forged as he steps out in obedience and also falters under pressure. We can all relate to both of these situations.
