Exodus opens with Israel multiplying in Egypt just as God promised, but a new Pharaoh grows fearful of their numbers and enslaves them. Despite oppression and attempts to destroy their children, God preserves His people and raises up Moses, whose life is miraculously spared through the faith of his mother and God's providence. After trying to deliver an Israelite in his own strength and failing, Moses flees into the wilderness, where God begins preparing him for a greater purpose. The chapter reminds us that God sees the suffering of His people, works behind the scenes even when He seems silent, and often uses weakness and brokenness to prepare those He calls to serve Him. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, June 10, 2026

Matthew 2:1–12 — The Wise Men Seek the King

Matthew 2 records the journey of the wise men from the East as they follow God's leading to find the promised Messiah. While King Herod viewed Jesus as a threat and the religious leaders knew the Scriptures but failed to act on them, the wise men responded differently—they sought Christ, pursued the truth, and worshiped Him when they found Him. Their story highlights that true wisdom is not simply knowing about God but responding to what He reveals. Through fulfilled prophecy, joyful worship, and obedient faith, Matthew shows that Jesus is the long-awaited King worthy of the devotion of all people, both Jew and Gentile.

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul addresses two practical issues that were creating problems in the church: believers taking one another to court and the misuse of sexual freedom. He reminds Christians that God has called His people to live differently, resolving conflicts with wisdom and grace rather than bringing disputes before unbelievers. Paul also warns against lifestyles marked by unrepentant sin, while emphasizing the transforming power of the gospel: “such were some of you,” but through Christ believers have been washed, sanctified, and justified. Turning to the subject of sexual immorality, Paul teaches that our bodies belong to the Lord and are temples of the Holy Spirit. Because believers have been redeemed at the highest price—the blood of Jesus Christ—we are called to honor God with both our bodies and our lives.

Genesis 50 concludes the book of Genesis by focusing on the deaths of Jacob and Joseph while highlighting God's faithfulness through generations. After Jacob dies, Joseph honors his father's request to be buried in Canaan, leading a remarkable funeral procession from Egypt back to the family burial place purchased by Abraham. Pastor Greg emphasizes how this demonstrates Jacob's faith that God's promises were tied to the land God had given to Abraham and his descendants. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, June 3, 2026

Matthew opens his Gospel by showing that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Son of David and the Son of Abraham, fulfilling God's promises made throughout the Old Testament. As Pastor Rick walks through Jesus' genealogy, he highlights the surprising people God chose to include in His plan—men and women marked by failure, brokenness, sin, and difficult pasts. Yet through each story we see God's grace, faithfulness, and ability to redeem imperfect people for His purposes. The study then turns to the birth of Jesus, where Joseph responds in faith to God's unexpected plan and receives the promise that Jesus would save His people from their sins. Through it all, Matthew reminds us that God keeps His promises and that no past is too messy for the saving grace of Christ. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, May 31, 2026

Acts 8:1–25

This week’s study follows the aftermath of Stephen’s martyrdom as a great persecution scatters the church beyond Jerusalem and into Samaria, fulfilling Jesus’ command to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. The message highlights how God often uses disruption, hardship, and unexpected changes to move His people into the places where He wants them to serve and share Christ. Through Philip’s ministry in Samaria, we see the gospel break down long-standing barriers, bringing salvation, healing, and great joy to people who had previously been trapped in spiritual deception.

The study also focuses on Simon the sorcerer, a former cult-like leader whose encounter with the gospel exposes the difference between using spiritual things for personal gain and truly surrendering to God. Through Peter’s strong correction, Simon is confronted with the baggage and bitterness he still carries, reminding believers that following Jesus is a process of continual growth and transformation. Throughout the chapter, the emphasis remains on exalting Christ, relying on the power of the Holy Spirit, and allowing God to shape and redirect our lives for His purposes. - Greg Opean - Sunday, May 31, 2026

Genesis 49 follows Jacob’s final words to his twelve sons as he speaks prophetic blessings over the future tribes of Israel. Some sons receive warnings because of unchecked sin, anger, or compromise, while others receive promises of strength, fruitfulness, and purpose. Through Judah, Jacob points ahead to the coming Messiah, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, showing that God’s plan of redemption would continue even through flawed people. This message reminds us that failure does not have to define our future when we humble ourselves before God, confess our sin, and let Him transform our lives by His grace.

In Revelation 22, the final chapter of the Bible, we are given a breathtaking picture of eternity with Jesus—where the curse of sin is finally removed, death and sorrow are gone, and God dwells forever with His people . This study walks through the beauty and hope of heaven, reminding believers that Revelation is not meant to produce fear or confusion, but confidence that Jesus wins and keeps His promises. The message also emphasizes the open invitation of the gospel: no matter how broken, guilty, or far from God someone may feel, Jesus still says, “Come,” offering forgiveness, restoration, and eternal life freely through grace. At the same time, believers are challenged to live lives transformed by the truth of God’s Word as they wait expectantly for the return of Christ. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, May 24, 2026

In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul confronts the church in Corinth for proudly tolerating open sin within the church instead of grieving over it and helping restore the person involved . Using the picture of leaven spreading through dough, Paul warns that unchecked sin influences and damages the whole body, while also reminding believers that the church is meant to be a place of truth, repentance, grace, and transformation. This message carefully balances both holiness and compassion, showing that Christians are not called to celebrate sin, but neither are they called to reject broken people who need help and healing. the teaching points back to the gospel: that Jesus forgives sinners, changes hearts, and gives people the freedom to walk in a new life through the power of the Holy Spirit. - Ed Rea - Sunday, May 24, 2026

Genesis 48 | Greg

Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from May 20, 2026.

Genesis 48 highlights God’s faithfulness to His covenant promises through the final days of Jacob’s life as he blesses Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, before his death . This message walks through the powerful adoption and blessing scene where Jacob gives Joseph a double portion among the tribes of Israel, while also prophetically placing the greater blessing on the younger son, Ephraim, showing again that God’s grace and calling are not based on human tradition, status, or natural expectations. Throughout the study, we are reminded that God remains faithful to His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, including His covenant concerning the land of Israel and the future of His people. At the same time, the message points believers to the greater spiritual truth that God adopts His people by grace, faithfully shepherds them through every season of life, and always finishes the work He begins. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, May 20, 2026
