Into a Great Family - Genesis 34-36

On March 9, Patrick is teaching from Genesis 34:1-37:1

While human history has been dominated by those who would seek to make a great name for themselves, the modern era has produced an obsession with fame and celebrity like none before. Nearly everyone wants to be known and famous. God, however, has something bigger and better in mind: Not to bring individual fame and glory, but adoption into a family that will last forever.

Counting Hardship as Joy - Genesis 29-33

On March 2, Patrick's message comes from Genesis 29:1-33:20

The Bible tells us that it is God’s kindness that is meant to lead us to repentance and trust, but sometimes what God does in our lives, or allows, doesn’t feel like kindness. Ultimately, though, Jacob’s frustrations help us to have faith in all circumstances showing us how much God cares for our well-being and how He will ensure He gets us there.

Faithful Amidst Dysfunction, Part 2 - Genesis 27-28

On February 23, Patrick's message is Faithful Amidst Dysfunction, Part 2. Often that which stands most in the way of God’s plans is us! Whether it be because of our own selfish ambitions, our laxity, or taking matters into our own hands, rather than cooperating in submission and faith we end up trying to build our own kingdoms. But God’s grace and power is greater than our sin. If there is one thing the story of Jacob teaches us, it’s that we cannot mess up or slow down God’s mission!

Faithful Amidst Dysfunction, Part 1 - Genesis 25-26

On February 16, Patrick continues his series in Genesis: Obstacles and setbacks not only frustrate us in our  progress toward a goal, but they can make us doubt the cause  altogether. Maybe we misread the situation or shouldn’t have started  down this path. We may even start to ask, “Has God left us, or have we  left Him?”. The start of Jacob’s journey away from home shows us,  however, that when our hearts and minds are focused on His words and  promises we can have certainty that despite all appearances He is with  us and working all things out according to His perfect plan.

All the Peoples - Genesis 21-24

On February 9, Patrick teaches from Genesis 21-24. The human race is diverse. In appearance, in cuisine, in music, in all sorts of things we are different, not just across the planet but even in our immediate communities. Those differences, unfortunately, have often led to division and hurt, but God’s purpose is to bring all people together. The Gospel, we see, isn’t detached from questions of ethnicity or gender or culture but encompasses them all.

The Promise, Part 2 - Genesis 15-20

On February 2, Patrick continues his series in Genesis, this week being in Genesis 15-20.

HERE'S THE DEAL: The power of a promise relies on three things: (1) Is the promise-maker trustworthy, and (2) Is the promise-maker able to come through, and (3) Is the promise itself good. In the book of Genesis, as the world begins to take shape and people do as they please across the globe, God makes a promise about how all things will turn out. We just have to decide if the promise meets these three criteria.

The Promise, Part 1 - Genesis 10-14

ON JANUARY 26, The Promise, Part 1 - Genesis 10-14 with Pastor Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

HERE'S THE DEAL: Our day to day lives can feel inconsequential. At best, we think we might be making a little difference, but how far can one person’s effect really extend? God’s great big plan, however, is accomplished through individuals, and if we believe in His spoken promises then we can live daily knowing He’s always doing something big in us.

Won't Stop Now - Genesis 4:25-9:29

ON JANUARY 19: Won't Stop Now, (Genesis 4:25-9:29) with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

HERE'S THE DEAL: How many times would you try to help someone, who continually turned you down and insulted you, before you just gave up on them? Genesis 5-9 feels like God giving humans the chance for a massive do-over and yet, when all is said and done, nothing changes. Just how true to His promises will He remain?

Humanity's City - Genesis 3:1-4:24

ON JANUARY 12 - Humanity's City, (Genesis 3:1-4:24) with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D. 

HERE'S THE DEAL: Where did things go  wrong? How did we get here if the world God made was good and did what  He created it to do? Something clearly went wrong. Against God’s good  design for the world human beings tried to devise their own plans and  with that broke God’s good world. But even their rebellion couldn’t stop  God as His grace is greater than all our sin.

God's City - Genesis 1:1-2:25

ON JANUARY 5: We are beginning of a new sermon series on Genesis, with a message called, God's City, (Genesis 1:1-2:25) with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D. 

HERE'S THE DEAL: The Bible opens by definitively showing us the Plan for the whole world and who the Plan-Maker is. The opening chapters aren’t interested in telling us how the world was made, but rather Who made it and why He did. Only when we know Him can we then know ourselves and what He wants to do in this world through us.
