Element Christian Church of Santa Maria

Whether we have enough faith (maybe just a mustard seed’s worth) to follow God’s instructions or all the faith in the world, our God is big enough to bring us home.

What does the Bible mean when it speaks of God remembering our sins no more? It simply means that He no longer responds to us in light of those sins. They no longer derail our relationship with him. They no longer garner His wrath. They are gone—completely—from our account.

The Good News of the gospel is NOT that God stops us from making dumb decisions, or that He will fix what we break; it is that He has promised to continue to work for our eternal good no matter how many short-sighted choices we make along the way.

The essence of the Christian faith is not moral people, but people who are connected to God. A conscience is good, but is insufficient for a relationship with God.

The Cinema. Today's modern day pulpit... telling today's story through the digital story form. We'll watch these popular movies and follow up with an expository exploration of the narrative themes and spiritual parallels of these movies.

Genesis has a very different account of creation. In Genesis, it is the spirit of the one God who orders creation. Over the seven days of creation in Genesis, God makes seven speeches. The final one ordains the Sabbath as the holy day. The writer of Genesis deliberately uses language that would be used by a king.

Live with a vision of God’s renewed creation in Christ.

Timothy Keller says we learn 3 things from almost every Genesis narrative.

1. How people were ruined

2. The Culture of Death

3. The Future city of Grace

It’s important to see Jesus in 2 forms

• The humility of His incarnation (became a man).

• The glory of His exaltation.
