Sermon Series: Genesis

Is the Sabbath an unchanging moral law that God gave the human race at creation? Are we to observe the Sabbath on Saturday, or Sunday, or in some other way? Listen in as we focus on Christ – our true Sabbath, and how we find our rest in Him!

The message of the entire Bible can be summed up in the story of 3 Trees: The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Calvary.

The divine institution of marriage is in serious trouble today. In this passage in Genesis we see God’s ideal for marriage, and how the first marriage foreshadows our ultimate marriage to Jesus Christ, our true Bridegroom.

Why is our world in such a mess? The only answer that makes any sense is the answer given in Genesis 3. In this message we explore Satan’s Schemes, Man’s Failure, and Christ’s Obedience.

Adam and Eve clothed themselves in fig leaves, but God rejected their garments, and instead made them garments of skin. Every person in the world is either dressed in his own righteousness or the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Are you dressed in fig leaves or a fur coat?

Christ is the Conqueror of Satan! Though Satan was able to strike Christ’s heel at His crucifixion, in that very act Jesus Christ crushed his head, rendering him powerless. Now, we stand in Christ’s victory!

Like Abel’s blood, the blood of Christ cries to God, but it speaks with a better message, duration, number of people, location and power. It will ultimately speak for or against every person on Judgment Day.

Just as the Flood of God’s Wrath came upon the ancient world, so a far greater judgment of wrath is coming upon our own world, and the only way to be saved from it is to find our refuge in Christ!

From the beginning of time God has had a plan to bring unspeakable spiritual privileges to all the world. Learn who they are from, what they are, and who they are for in this message as we focus on our great privilege of partnering with God in His missionary zeal to bring His people into the kingdom from all over the world.

Melchizedek is a wonderful picture of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is the eternally self-existent One, the King of the universe, the priest who reconciles us to God through sacrifice, and the preeminent one over all.

God assured Abraham that He would give him the land of Canaan by cutting a covenant with him. Likewise God gives assurance to us that we will possess our heavenly inheritance through the New Covenant. The glory of the New Covenant is that it is not an “if…then” covenant like the Old Covenant. Rather it is a unilateral, unconditional, “I will…they shall” covenant in which Christ Himself binds Himself to fulfill all the terms of the covenant.

God’s destruction of Sodom and deliverance of Lot in Genesis 19 serve as a type of the Final Judgment, in which God will pour out His wrath on the wicked and deliver His people through sheer grace.

In Genesis 22 we read of the supreme act of faith ever required of man – Abraham must kill and offer up his son as a burnt offering. In this story, we are reminded of another Father who offered His Son, Jesus Christ, as the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
