So far we have seen the creation account. God created humanity in Adam and he is called to keep perfect obedience. But the drama takes a turn, where we have an enemy who deceives Adam and Eve. They disobey God, and bring upon themselves God’s wrath. This chapter is the stepping stone for human history. Everything we know about our lives comes from this event in Eden. All of our unanswered questions in life fall into this story.

In this sermon we will see how God created humans to be distinct from Him, to be contingent on Him, and therefore to find the full goodness of what it means to be truly human by embracing our limits.

After God created all things in order, He created Adam, who was given all autonomy to rule over creation. Adam discovered that all things in this world were made with love. Love is communal and is part of God’s original well-ordered design. In this sermon we will see who we are as humanity and how we can rediscover the life of love that was originally planned for in the garden of Eden.

In this text, we get a zoomed in version of a God who does more than create; He calls! Humanity becomes the apex of His creation, uniquely made in His image, set apart to reflect His character and represent His rule. To be human is not merely to exist but to carry the divine imprint and to live with intentionality. God grants His image-bearers authority over creation, not for self-glory but for stewarding His world under His kingship. Our worth, work, and worship are all wrapped up in the God who created us to reflect Him and to extend His glory to the ends of the earth.

In this sermon, we turn our eyes to the very beginning, to the God who spoke light into darkness and filled the world with beauty and goodness. Every detail in creation, from the stars above to the soil beneath our feet, flows from his imagination and care. This is not just a story of how the world began. It's a window into the heart of the Creator — who is both powerful and purposeful, generous and good. As we reflect on the wonder of creation, we’re invited to worship the God who made all things and who calls it good.

This passage talks about gifts in the church as means of the Holy Spirit to build the church and make disciples. The gifts that God gives to the church equips the saints in ministry to build God’s new temple. The gifts are diverse but they are called to be exercised to promote true love with one another. The goal of the church is to become a community shaped by God’s love for each other by breaking patterns of sin and the power of Satan over our lives. The church thus becomes a hope for sinners of the new creation yet to come.

The Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — is a perfect community of beauty, goodness, and grace. God is now forming us as a people who reflect His own character and is calling to be rich in good (beautiful) works. This is God’s grace at work in us. In this way, the church becomes a living picture of God’s beauty and goodness on earth.

In a world where people are unsatisfied with their dreams and desires, the gospel offers an alternative that will quench the thirst of the heart. The gospel offers us assurance in a God who offers His own body where we will eat and be satisfied, drink and be quenched, and rested when exhausted. In the church, the disciples of Christ are made holy in the wisdom of God. The wisdom of God for fallen sinners is a deep dependance in the Word of God written and offered to us by the Holy Spirit. This is a gift for us given to us by God’s grace.

This sermon from Titus 1 explores the vital role of disciple-making within the local church by examining the calling, character, and context of those entrusted with this sacred task. As part of our series on making disciples, we will see how Paul’s instructions to Titus emphasize that godly leaders are not self-appointed but called by God, shaped by holy character, and placed within communities that desperately need truth and transformation.

In seasons of darkness, we wonder if God has abandoned us. The psalmist, when in a dark place, openly questions God if he forgot “grace”? The truth, however, is that this world would cease to exist if God had forgotten grace. Indeed, this world exists because God will never forget grace towards His people.
