Pastor Terry continues in our teaching series we're calling "Grounded!" -exploring the foundations of our faith, and this week is digging into Genesis 11.

Living apart from God, humanity devolves into a terrible and tragic moral state. But we find contrast …some will attempt to ascend to God, but God will condescend and He will make a way

"Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” (Genesis 6:3, ESV)

Pastor Terry Lee digs into God's Word from Genesis 3, discussing the temptation of the serpent, man's fall into sin, and God's plan for his rescue.

Taking the book as we have it, Genesis itself seems to present a narrative that prefigures and sets up the arc of the whole Old Testament, which in turn foreshadows God’s all-encompassing plan for Creation. In this way of reading, the characters of Genesis cease to be strictly moral exemplars, paragons for Christians to emulate, but rather more flawed, dare we say human, characters. Nevertheless, God’s plan moves forward through all their mistakes.

This mirror narrative is established right from the beginning. Not only do humans mirror God into the world, but the shape of the Creation story mirrors the rest of Genesis, the rest of Genesis mirrors the Old Testament, and the whole Old Testament mirrors God’s New Creation plan. For the original readers, Adam and Eve’s creation would be less about the human race’s scientific origins than about the Jewish people’s unique origins among a culture littered with polytheistic religions. Adam and Eve are placed into a world already peopled and given a new project by God. Likewise, through Abraham, God singles out the Israelites and sets them about a new project to signal God’s rulership in the world. And just as Adam and Eve are exiled for disobeying God’s specific instructions – for trying to find a shortcut to God’s purpose – the Israelites will be exiled to Babylon for disobeying the specific instructions given to them by God for their ‘garden,’ the promised land.

Genesis 1:1-2:3

We will review Genesis 1, and I will point towards the themes that begin here, but review the question of the age of the earth, asking Young Earth, Old Earth and Evolutionary Creationists to agree that there is mystery and embrace one another as fellow seekers of Jesus. God created...He did so with purpose and design.
