In this episode, we dive into the often-misunderstood doctrine of Postmillennialism, offering a fresh perspective on eschatology and its profound impact on Christian life and doctrine. Over the past eight weeks, we've explored various eschatological views and their implications, underscoring the dangers of a failed eschatology. Today, we shift our focus towards Postmillennialism, dissecting its biblical roots and showcasing its significance through the lens of Scripture, particularly the book of Genesis. Whether you're a long-time follower or new to our series, this episode is pivotal in understanding right eschatology and its call for Christians to be salt and light in a world awaiting full restoration. #Postmillennialism #Eschatology #BiblicalStudies #ChristianDoctrine #Theology #Genesis #ChristianLife #ChurchHistory #OptimisticEschatology Remember to like, share, and subscribe for more insightful biblical teachings and discussions.

Christmas in Genesis (The Promise of a King)
Kendall Lankford • Genesis 17:1–6, Genesis 49:8–12
The promise of the King goes back to the most ancient passages. As we celebrate the Lordship and Kingship of Christ, born in the royal line of David, let us also remember hat His foundations are from old and His Kingdom will never end.
Christmas in Genesis (The Promise of Freedom)
December 17, 2023 • Kendall Lankford • Genesis 22:1–19, Luke 2:7
In the great scene, where Abraham is called to sacrifice his son Isaac, we see a picture of Gospel freedom. Like Isaac, God's Son, like Isaac was bound. But, unlike Isaac, God did not allow Jesus to walk away free, because in that event, He was purchasing our freedom.
The Promise of Blessing
December 10, 2023 • Kendall Lankford • Luke 2:1–17, Genesis 12:1–3
Ask we saw last week, the hope of Christmas can be found in the first book of Genesis. There we learn that Jesus will not only be born of a virgin, but He will also bring about world-wide dominion and blessings. Join us as we consider how Christ inherits and will bring about the blessings of Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3) by being the true seed of Abraham (Gal. 3:16).
The Promise of a Son
December 3, 2023 • Kendall Lankford • Genesis 3:1–15, Matthew 1:18–25
The foundation of Christmas does not begin in the Goaspel of Matthew or of Luke, but in the first chapters of Genesis. Join us as we explore the promise of a Son, who would come through a virgin's womb, prophesied thousands of years before it happened.
Strong Children (Part I)
September 3, 2023 • Derrick Taylor • Genesis 18:17–19
This Fall we have been looking at what it means to be a strong and Biblical community. That has led us to consider Biblical masculinity & femininity, church partnerships, strong giving, and what it means to have an identity set on the things of God. Today, we look at one of the most critical aspects of being built strong, which is an approach to building up our children.
Genesis 12-21 (Sarah's True Joy)
November 28, 2021 • Kendall Lankford • Genesis 12—21
Sarah laughed in her doubts, and then she laughed in true worship. Her laughter at both points exposes where she is at with God and it points forward to her true offspring who will bring true joy and laughter to the world. As Christians, we have the Christ, who brings us true and unsurprising joy!
Genesis 3:1-16 (The Child of Eve)
November 21, 2021 • Kendall Lankford • Genesis 3:1–16
The Christmas story does not begin in the Gospels it begins in Eden. It begins after sin entered into the world, the serpent was proclaiming victory, and the woman was wondering what her punishment would be from God. Her sin deserved God's wrath. She got God's grace. To the woman, Eve, a child was promised who would make all things new!
