ReGeneration Church

Jesus approaches Jerusalem by first sending two disciples to retrieve a colt that has never been ridden, and they find it just as He described. The crowd that sees Him coming spreads their cloaks on the road and praises God, declaring the King has come. When the Pharisees urge Him to silence the crowd, He replies that if they were silent, even the stones would cry out. This Palm Sunday, come join us as we lift our voices together and seek the face of our King.

Genesis isn't just ancient history: It's the story of a God who makes promises and keeps them, even when life feels unfinished, broken, or uncertain. As we recap the book of Genesis we'll recall how the patriarchs trusted God through suffering, lived as flawed communities of faith, and found their individual stories swept up into something far greater than themselves. We'll trace how the gospel of Jesus is woven into every page of Genesis, pointing us to the ultimate fulfillment of everything God set in motion at Creation. If you've ever wondered where you fit in God's story, Genesis has Good News for you.

Jacob's dying words are not a farewell but a forecast, blessing each son with a future he will never live to see, then making them swear to carry his bones back to the promised land. Joseph, burying his father and later comforting his brothers, declares that God has threaded even their cruelty into something redemptive — and when his own death comes, he too leaves instructions for his remains to be carried home by a generation not yet born. How does your faith show up not just in what you say, but in what you arrange, invest in, and leave behind?

In Acts, Peter's passionate plea cuts through the crowd, and thousands respond, getting baptized and jumping headfirst into a tight-knit community devoted to teaching, prayer, and sharing meals together. They sell their possessions, meet daily, and take care of anyone who has a need out of genuine love for one another. In Ephesians, Paul writes that Christ appoints different roles in the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—specifically to train the rest of the members for works of service. Together, like a body where every joint and ligament does its part, they hold one another in truth and love, becoming something no single person could ever be alone. Is church just a place where you go, or is it a community you're a part of? What is your role in the church today? Pastor Matt provides an update on the ministry here at ReGen and how you can get involved.

The famine drives Egyptians to sell themselves and land to Pharaoh, while Joseph settles his family in Goshen. Near death, Jacob makes Joseph swear to bury him in Canaan, anchoring hope in God's covenant despite current circumstances. Jacob blesses Ephraim over Manasseh, prophesying God's sovereignty will reverse human expectations and elevate whom He chooses. With prophetic certainty, Jacob declares God will bring descendants back to Canaan and gives Joseph double inheritance, speaking blessings through generations. How might we recognize God's providence working through our present circumstances to fulfill His promises?

God comforts Jacob as Israel journeys with his household to Egypt. Joseph secures their place in Goshen, providing abundance during famine. The family flourishes while the land withers. How do we recognize God's hand leading us through transitions we never chose?

Joseph's silver cup hidden in Benjamin's sack becomes a test, revealing Judah's transformed heart as he offered himself as a slave rather than see Benjamin harmed. Joseph could no longer restrain himself, revealing his identity through tears and embraces, transforming years of separation into sacred reunion. The brothers who once sold their brother into slavery now stand before him as beneficiaries of his divine provision. How might our greatest pains contain purposes we cannot yet see, and what does it mean to trust that even our most difficult journeys lead toward redemption?

The brothers tremble as guilt for their past betrayal weighs heavily on their hearts when they recognize Joseph's authority in Egypt. Joseph, moved by their remorse, welcomes his estranged siblings and prepares a feast that bridges the divide between them. The family bonds that were once broken begin to mend as Joseph provides generously for their needs and restores their dignity in his household. How do we rebuild what matters most when everything seems lost?

Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams in prison, revealing seven years of abundance followed by devastating famine. Elevated to Egypt's second-in-command, Joseph organizes the nation to store grain during plentiful times. When famine sweeps the land, Egypt flourishes under Joseph's leadership while neighboring regions starve. The brother who once sold Joseph into slavery now bows before him, seeking sustenance from the one he abandoned. Could it be that our greatest purpose emerges from our deepest suffering?

Joseph waits in an Egyptian prison, yet even there he serves faithfully and gains the trust of his captors. When Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker share troubling dreams, Joseph listens carefully and speaks truth, knowing that insight belongs to God. Their dreams unfold exactly as foretold, but Joseph is forgotten and remains confined. When your prayers seem unanswered and time feels stalled, can you trust that God is still at work?
