Responding to Hurt and Trauma
November 7, 2021 • Brian C. Hughes • 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, Isaiah 55:8–9, Genesis 50:19–21, 1 Peter 2:20–23, Luke 23:34
Many of us go through traumatic events. No one is exempt. The question isn’t IF they will come—the question is: how do we respond WHEN they come? In this week’s story of Joseph and his brothers, experience Joseph’s unexpected response and consider the implications for what has already happened in your own life, or what might be to come.
Hearing God's Voice
October 31, 2021 • Brian C. Hughes • Hebrews 11:8–19, Isaiah 30:21, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 1:17, Hebrews 11:1–2
We could probably all relate to the anxiety or fear of not knowing exactly where we are going. We’re also used to being pitched gimmicks and to-good-to-be-true ideas, giving us a natural skepticism when it comes to big promises. In this week’s message we look at Genesis 12, when Abraham experiences both the voice of God and a big promise from God—with the catch that he had to leave all he knew and trust God with all that might happen in between. How do we know when God is speaking to us? What does it look like to hear His voice and follow in faith? Find out in this week’s ORIGIN message.
The Flood (Starting Over)
October 24, 2021 • Brian C. Hughes • Genesis 6:5–9, Romans 7:15–25, Genesis 6:19–21, Genesis 7:1–6
In the first chapter of the Bible, God creates all things—skies, oceans, land, plants, animals, people—and He declares it all good. Then five chapters later, the same God who made all of this and declared it good wants to DESTROY it. So is God fickle or indecisive? What happens between Genesis 1 and Genesis 6 that moves the heart of God to want to dismantle his dream? Find out in this week’s message. There is much more to this story than meets the eye…
We All Fall Down

Common in our history is the beautiful splendor of the garden of Eden. The creation of a master's hand, where man and woman, Adam and Eve, would be fruitful and multiply; where there was never a need to be hungry, where the creatures, birds and fish of the world were cohabitants in a safe and loving relationship with mankind. It was marvelous, beyond our comprehension, and the perfect plan of a loving http://god...until it wasn’t. It seems like one minute everything is perfect—God has just put everything in order. Then, suddenly, a decision that will affect every human life is made—not by God, but by Adam and Eve. Join Teaching Pastor Bryan Pope and he uncovers how that decision has trickled down, how it impacts our individual lives in this very moment, and why that matters.
