Our 8th message in the Luke3andMe series of messages brings us to the major divide between the Jews and Gentiles. We explain how that divide was created and how Christ broke down that wall of hostility to teach us that no matter the difference between ourselves and others, racial, national, gender, hair color, age, in Christ we are one. We can only be united when we better understand the story of God and how He spread out all the nations at the Tower of Babel and why that should help us find greater unity today.

We began our #MYSEVEN2HEAVEN Project in this Luke3andMe Sermon series message. The fundamental truth that righteousness is believing in the HIStory of God and walking faithfully with Him is opposed by wickedness which is rejecting God as our Creator and living selfishly. This truth is illustrated through the Great Flood and the family of Noah. Righteousness has its rewards and wickedness has its punishments and this is clearly demonstrated in the story of Noah.

We continue our Luke3andMe Series of messages by looking at the Good Lamech and Evil Lamech in the family of Jesus. These two Old Testament cousins illustrate the duality with which all of us struggle that battles within us as described by Paul in Romans 7. Who can save me from this body of death? Only Christ Jesus can save us from our own internal struggle by encouraging us to live by the Spirit, not the flesh. 

Methuselah is the oldest person ever to live according to the bible. He lived nearly a millennium making him the first Millennial. We are connected to his life and death in two ways. His long life is evidence that God created us to live forever, and his death is evidence that sin messed up that plan. God's solution is to deal with sin through the sacrifice of Christ so that we can live forever again. 

This is the fourth message in the Luke3andMe series. We consider the enigmatic life of Enoch who "walked with God" and then was no more. We begin to see the principles and patterns that defined the line of Christ. They called on the name of the Lord (principle) and they walked faithfully with God (pattern). We find our connection with Enoch as we follow the same principle and pattern in our lives. Like Enoch, we too can become no more as we receive our reward from the Creator.  We learned we are not determined by our DNA, but we are determined by our choices.

The third message in our Luke3andMe series features the story of Seth whose brother Cain killed their brother Abel. Because of Cain's wickedness, God had to reboot the story through Seth. We learn that sometimes we need to reboot, restart, and refresh our own lives so God can reboot our stories. 

The second message in the Luke3andMe series, we investigate the issue of Creation vs. Evolution. The world doesn't know why they want to believe they come from anything but a loving Creator, but there are always alternatives to the Creation narrative being pushed. In this message, we learn we are Created in God's Image to reflect His Glory. This is our purpose and design and the only right way to live. 

Our first message in the Luke3andMe series helps us discover our connection through Christ to God by way of those in the Genealogy of Jesus. The common problem all people have is we are disconnected from our Creator God because of sin. The story of humankind illustrated by the family of Jesus covers the first 4000 years of human history and how God over and again kept alive a line of faithful believers to preserve the lineage of Christ.  Better understanding their stories provides the context we need to preserve our connection to Christ and His Salvation in our time.
