Ever feel forgotten by God? How do you think Noah felt after being quarantined inside the Ark for 364 or more days. Yes! A whole year and possibly more. No doubt that is the reason chapter 8 of Genesis begins with the words: "And God remembered Noah." Our LORD is committed to His covenant community of faith. We face challenges and dark days, but friend we can faithfully worship our great God because He always remembers us!

The Day God Sang
April 26, 2020 • Pastor Greg Wagoner • Genesis 1:24–31
On day 6 or creation there is some phrasing in verse 27 that gives us a repetitive poetic pattern that leans into a thought that the day God sang was the day He created man. One commentator states: The making of man is so ushered in as to show that at length the work of creation had reached its perfection and ultimate goal. This first chapter of Genesis is the chapter of mysteries, and just as “the wind of God” in Genesis 1:2 was the pregnant germ which grew into the revelation of the Holy Ghost, so in Elohim, the many powers concentrated in one being, lies the germ of the doctrine of a plurality of persons in the Divine Unity. It is not a formal proof of the Trinity, nor do believers in the inspiration of Holy Scripture so use it. What they affirm is, that from the very beginning the Bible is full of such germs, and that no one of them remains barren, but all develop, and become Christian truths. There is in this first book a vast array of figures, types, indications, yearnings, hopes, fears, promises, and express predictions, which advance onwards like an ever-deepening river, and when they all find a logical fulfillment in one way, the conclusion is that that fulfillment is not only true, but was intended.
God So Loved Mankind
May 3, 2020 • Pastor Greg Wagoner • Genesis 2:1–17
In I John 4:8 the apostle states: "God is love." Yes, He is! His love rests firmly upon His creation. In Genesis chapter 2 we find our Creator God showing his love to mankind in various manifestations of provision. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got you and me, sister/brother in His hands!
