TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 6:5-14, 7:13-18, 7:24

This sermon focuses on the worldwide flood and God’s reason for it. While this story is well-known, it’s a challenging one that forces us to wrestle with divine judgment.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 4:1-16

When God tells Cain that “sin is crouching at your door,” we learn something profound and terrible about the power and deceptive nature of sin. This sermon also explores God’s remarkable (and even surprising) compassion toward Cain amid his great transgression.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 3

While this sermon touches on the fall and the strategy of the evil one, the thrust of this sermon is God’s promise to rescue the world through the seed of the woman —a veiled promise pointing to Jesus’ incarnation and death on the cross.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 2:18-25

Genesis 2 reminds us that God is the maker of marriage and all human community. In a very real sense, it is not good for a person to be alone because God is not alone; he is triune, Father, Son, and Spirit. To be made by him and for him is to be made in and for community.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 2:4-17

This sermon explores a Christian doctrine of vocation, how God matters to all work and how all work matters to God, and how all good work can be an act of worship.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 2:1-3

This sermon explores the first mention of rest (or Sabbath) in the Bible, and notably, it is God who is resting. As people made by him and called to imitate him, rest is an integral part of our humanity; we ignore rest to our peril.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 1:26-31

This sermon explores the doctrine of the image of God: what it means that every human being is made by and for God, and flourishes fully in relation to him. 

Given by Rev. Bijan Mirtolooi

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Genesis 1:1-25

The purpose of Genesis 1 is more theological than it is scientific. This sermon explores how Genesis 1 is less about how God made all things than why he did, and what it means for a person to relate to this God who is the maker of everything.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Exodus 35:4-10, 20-29

This sermon explores the ultimate motivation for generosity: creating more opportunities for people to encounter God, to grow in the gospel, to see suffering relieved, to see our city — and our world — renewed.

Given by Rev. Bijan Mirtolooi

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE | Luke 12:13-21

Idolatry isn’t just having or wanting bad things, but it’s turning even good things into ultimate things. Money is a great example of that: it can be stewarded as a gift from God, used in ways that are life-giving and community-building. But the human heart, curved in on itself (sin), can also turn a healthy desire for money into greed. This sermon explores the spiritual danger of greed, and how the practice of generosity enables a person to resist that danger.
