Listen in as Reuben returns for his second time on our COGS Devotions. Connor and Reuben dive into the conclusion of the Scriptural "protohistory," the story of the Tower of Babylon--discerning in this ancient story tremendous wisdom for those of us trying to live faithful and God-honoring lives in the twenty-first century.

This week, Connor and Abbie sit down to talk about an often-troubling story from the Bible--Noah and the World-wide flood. They sit for a little while in the darkness, but they also talk about the unmissable beauty and light in the story. There is tremendous power in this ancient story for our lives as 21st century Christians--we hope you are as blessed by this conversation as we were!

This week, Connor reflects on the story of the Fall found in Genesis 3. He sees in this story the very basis of much of human life after the Fall--our temptation to make bad decisions to achieve a personal goal and our temptation to justify bad decisions through blame and cover-up. Finally, he closes with a communal prayer of confession, recognizing that because of Jesus' obedience, we are healed when we confess our sins to God instead of hiding.

Join us this week as Connor and Lisa share in a 15 minute conversation about the amazing and important truth that all human beings are created in God's image. They discuss the individual responsibilities we have as image-bearers as well as the responsibility we have to honor other image-bearers.

If you would like to participate in The Gospel Project and see God's word transform your life, please contact Connor, Abbie, or Lisa to find a group and time that works for you!

Tune in for our first ever COGS Devotion to coincide with our launch of the Gospel Project! This week, Connor is joined by Reuben as they share in a conversation reflecting on what it means to have creative power and authority over our lives, and how we can ultimately orient our lives toward Christ.

The primary text for this week's lesson was Genesis 1:1-13. During the conversation, Connor also reads Colossians 1:15-18 (CSB).
