Fig Leaves: Adam and Eve

May 28, 2023 • Cole Feix • Genesis 3

Give

The opening chapters of Genesis portray the human condition before and after sin entered the world. When Adam and Eve sinned, their eyes were opened, and they were ashamed. They sewed fig leaves together to hide their nakedness and we do the same thing today. But in the first picture of the gospel, God clothed them, covered their nakedness, and offers to do the same for anyone who comes to him.

Fig Leaves: Joseph

July 30, 2023 • Cole Feix • Genesis 45:1–15, Genesis 50:15–21

Joseph is the last of the great patriarchs in Genesis. The long arc of sin and family dysfunction comes to a close when Joseph reverses the course of the story and forgives his brothers. As his story shows, it takes great faith to forgive. Christians have been commanded to forgive one another, but how can we do what often seems like an impossible task?

Fig Leaves: Jacob and Esau

July 23, 2023 • Cole Feix • Genesis 32—33

It would be hard to find someone with more relationship problems than Jacob. From his brother Esau, to his parents, to his own family, strife followed him wherever he went until his life-changing encounter with God. After wrestling with God, he was blessed, renamed, and changed forever. In the same way, when we encounter God, the fruit pops up in our relationships.

Fig Leaves: Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar

July 9, 2023 • Jarrett Ford • Genesis 16

We often find ourselves waiting for God. We may know his promises, character, and track record, but waiting for God is still difficult. Abraham found himself in a similar situation, but instead of waiting he sought his own solution. In this message, Dr. Jarrett Ford reminds us of the importance of waiting for the Lord and the wonderful promises he has given us.
