Genesis
When God Doesn't Come Through
April 28, 2024 • Jar • Genesis 16
Jared Darby brings us a message out of Genesis 16. He acknowledges the intensity of moments when God seems to fail us. Jared reminds us that although God may not meet our expectations, he always has a plan. Our job is to wait, obey, and trust.
Abram and Pharaoh
April 21, 2024
Dan Slagle brings a message on truth-telling from Genesis 12. Lying has been a trap many humans have fallen into - from the very beginning. Even Abram, one of the most faith-filled people in the Bible was susceptible. His life shows us just how destructive even a "little" lie is. But if we embrace truth, we will find grace and forgiveness waiting in the person of Jesus.
Stepping Out in Faith
April 14, 2024
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein preaches reminds us that God is the eternal initiator, always taking the first step toward us. Are we responding like Abram in Genesis 12, by taking a step towards God in return? Or do we continue to pray for direction, miracles, and more without obeying the last word God gave us? God calls all of us to believe, trust, and obey!
New Creation
March 17, 2024
Jared Darby teaches us that Noah's world isn't so different from our own. Even as Noah and his family were saved from the rising waters, they had to reckon with the sin they brought along - in each of their hearts. We are in the same predicament. The wooden vessel we look to isn't the ark but the cross. And Jesus is standing ready to deliver us if we turn to him.
Ruling over Envy & Sin
March 10, 2024
Steve Carter explores the dynamic between Cain and Abel - and the way that God experienced the generosity of each. He reminds us that God's words to Cain, to know himself so well that he can rule over sin, also apply to us. Understanding that there is no scarcity of God's goodness should free us to celebrate with one another and to be generous towards God.
Paradise Lost
March 3, 2024 • Ken Werlein
Pastor Ken looks at the enemy’s deception in Genesis 3 and how his tactics really haven’t changed in how he seeks to lead us away from the Lord today. He points out how the enemy seeks to separate us from God, how we can arm ourselves again those attempts, and how God is always better than any temptation put in front of us.
Loneliness in Paradise
February 25, 2024 • Ken Werlein
In Sunday’s message Pastor Ken reminds us of the reasons that God created marriage: marriage is a vehicle for forever friendship, a place for safe sexuality, and a means of sanctification. He calls us to stand against culture’s superficial view of marriage and embrace the rich relationship God always intended.
Beginning with God
February 18, 2024 • Clay Scroggins
Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins begins our new series in Genesis. Guiding us through Genesis 1, Clay reminds us that it all begins with God. Both the story of creation and our lives with Him. We can find encouragement in the fact that since it all begins with God, He has a purpose for each of us.
