LNBC Students

In the first session of this new series, we have some discussion and teaching around the question, "Who is Jesus?" 

As a quasi wrap-up to the "In the Beginning" series, we review one of the probing questions from Genesis 3: why is nakedness so central to the story? Carson, Taylor, and Cam sit down to discuss (after about 15 minutes talking about their favorite movies and books of 2019). 

Rich finishes up this series with a sermon on 3:14-24. 

Over the break for Christmas and New Years, Taylor gave a short teaching on what he has been learning about 'becoming present' and how it fights worry and anxiety in our busy lives. Here are some of the books he mentioned:

Making All Things New: An Invitation to the Spiritual Life by Henri Nouwen

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer

The man and the woman have disobeyed, and now they have an encounter with the LORD God in the Garden. In one of the last sermons in this series, we see a God who leads his people to confess their sin, but who is also slow to anger and rich in love, mercy, and grace. 

In this bonus episode discussion with Cameron, Carson, and Taylor, we look at how the serpent of Genesis 3 has been popularly attributed to Satan. There is much more to delve into with this topic, so we mentioned some good resources if you would like to study further:

SUPERNATURAL by Michael Heiser - https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Bible-Teaches-Unseen-Matters/dp/1577995589

BIBLE PROJECT SERIES on Spiritual Beings - https://thebibleproject.com/all-videos/spiritual-beings/

Naked people, talking snakes, deception, desire, toxic trees - what is this story all about? In this sermon, we look at Genesis 3:1-7 to see what the first few pages of the Bible teach us about human disobedience and sin. 

As a follow-up to the latest sermon "A Suitable Helper" on Genesis 2:18-25, Carson, Cameron, and Taylor discuss the archetypal significance in the formation accounts in the bonus content episode. 

In the next sermon in our "In the Beginning" series, we look at the formation of woman and the meaning of marriage in Genesis 2:18-25. 

We have another bonus episode of content discussing some content from the previous sermon in our "In the Beginning" series regarding the Garden as sacred space. Carson, Cameron, and Taylor talk about the theme of God dwelling with man throughout scripture.
