We are reading Genesis 4-6 and we start with a simple question. If you do well will you not be accepted? Just because someone else was accepted and you were not it doesn't mean that they took it away from you!

As we continue in our series we read Matthew 2. How Jesus lived in Nazareth which comes from the root word that means set apart. Remember you are called to be set apart for the Lord!

So many good things to pull out of this section;

1. God spoke things into existence and since we were made in God's image in likeness this shows that what we speak has power.

2. Many times we need to make things work and then think about scaling or creating a position later.

3. Man and Woman are meant to help each other. That was the design and it wasn't until the fall that a hierarchy became established.

Just to name a few but whatever you get out of this remember that God is in charge of all things and knows how all things are designed to be.

Have you realized how messed up Jesus' family tree was? A daughter-in-law marries her father-in-law, a prostitute, and a person who according to Moses is cursed by God. Hard to believe that this is was the family history Jesus was being associated with.
