Expectant Patience

November 30, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Genesis 25—28

Many people are familiar with only a sanitized, children's version of the Bible, which often omits themes like murder, deception, sex, and jealousy. When we compare ourselves to biblical heroes, we forget they are human too, reflecting our own sins and need for God. Watch "Expectant Patience" to learn the significance of waiting for the Lord to act and the dangers of using deception to try and speed up His plan.

God Will See To It

November 16, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Genesis 18—22, Hebrews 11:17–19

God prepares us for success by guiding us through failure, as seen in His relationship with Abraham during the Binding of Isaac. Abraham's struggles strengthened his faithfulness as God's covenant partner. While God is committed to His plans for us, we often distract ourselves by trying to create our own versions of Eden. Instead of trying to control everything, we should surrender our plans to Adonai Yireh, trusting that "God Will See To It!"

The Family of God

November 9, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Genesis 11—12, Ephesians 2:11–19

God's first speach to Abraham includes a promise to make him a great nation while his wife is barren. God is the only one who can speak things into being! Life from non-life. He has already done it many times from Creation, to the flood, to the tower of Babylon, to the family of Abraham and he wants to do speak life over you with an invitation into His family! Watch "The Family of God" part 2 of our series on Genesis.
