Anger, fear, joy--these are just a few of the powerful emotions that drive our lives. They can be huge blessings, or monsters to be fought if not expressed in healthy ways. Join us tas we continue our series, “At the Movies,”

Playing God always invites ruin. From Adam and Eve to our own lives, we repeat the same foolish cycle: trusting our wisdom over the Lords. We see this lesson repeat itself in every iteration of the hit franchise, Jurassic Park. Join us as we continue our series, “At the Movies."

Everyone needs a break--from the stress, the gloom, and the hectic pace of everyday life. Rest is meant to impact more than our minds and bodies, though. Our spirit yearns to find rest and be refreshed in God's presence, but finding and protecting this time requires discipline.

In this session, we explore the origin story of the woman, as well as the insights this accounts shares regarding the purpose of humanity and the relationship between the two sexes. We also look at the covenant of marriage, specifically in light of the human calling that runs throughout this chapter of Genesis.

Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). As His followers, we're called to imitate His servant heart. Whether it's encouraging a neighbor, serving on a ministry team, or using your unique abilities to bless others, your service matters. It's healthy for the Church and vital to personal spiritual well-being.

In part 4 of our study, we analyze the Garden of Eden and the two trees in its center, looking at their importance in the greater context of the Ancient Near East, and how this information helps us understand their significance.

Tools are meant to improve our abilities when used correctly. This week we explored how Scripture is the ultimate tool God has given us—not just for knowledge, but for building a blessed life. Join us in this message as we continue our sermon series, “A Firm Foundation.”

In part 3 of our study, we draw from Genesis chapters 1 and 2 to catch a glimpse at humanity's purpose, noting both how this related to the original ancient context, as well as our purpose in today's modern world.

Prayer has always been a core practice of the Christian faith, but sometimes, we struggle to utilize it. Join us for part 2 of our series, “A Firm Foundation,” as we talk about prayer and overcoming the obstacles that hinder it.

In part 2 of our People and Purpose study, we take a look at the creation of the man in Genesis 2. In the process, we learn about human nature, what we are, what we aren't, and what our place in the world is.
