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.
The Image of God
November 2, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Genesis 1—2, Romans 1
We are all human, created in God's image and infused with His breath. Humanity is unique, designed to bring goodness into a world filled with darkness and chaos. Understanding the image of God is crucial in our study of the Torah, as it influences how we treat everyone. Watch this week’s message to learn how to balance our beliefs with compassion, even toward those we disagree with, who are also made in “The Image of God."
