Every rebellion repeats the first one.  From Eden to Babel, the cycle is fracture, exile, grace.

In this sermon on the Tower of Babel, Pastor Chris explores the deep human impulse to build lives of self-reliance—lives shaped by fear, control, and the need to make a name for ourselves. Far from a story about ancient architecture, Babel reveals the patterns we still live in today: the bricks we stack to feel safe, the towers we build to feel significant, and the names we chase to feel seen.

But God’s response is not anger—it’s mercy. Scattering becomes protection. Confusion becomes rescue. And the story bends toward a promise: a God who comes down, who breaks the power of fear, and who gives a name we don’t have to earn. Through Babel, Pentecost, and the hope of the New Jerusalem, this message invites us into the freedom of smallness, trust, and the strong tower of God’s unfailing love.

In this message from Genesis 9, we explore the final scene of Noah’s life… his vineyard, his vulnerability, and the surprising family fracture that follows. The story exposes how even in a washed-clean world, the human heart still needs redemption. We look at honor, covering, generational words, and the danger of exposure culture, then trace the thread that leads from Noah’s vineyard to the cross, where Jesus becomes the better gardener, the better vine, and the One who covers our shame for good.

The flood didn’t fix us.  Even the righteous fall.  The new Adam repeats the old story.

After the flood, Noah steps off the ark and offers worship to God — and God responds with mercy, blessing, and a covenant that will never be broken. In this message from Genesis 8–9, Sarah Pasquale explores the heart of a God who listens to His people, delights to bless, and binds Himself to humanity in everlasting faithfulness. Through Noah’s offering, God’s promise, and the bow hung in the sky, we glimpse divine mercy that still invites us today to trust, respond, and live in light of His grace.

In the story of the flood, judgment and mercy meet. Before the rain, God grieves; in the storm, He remembers. This message explores Genesis 6–9 as more than a tale of destruction—it’s a story of divine heartbreak, faithful trust, and the God who says “enough” so new creation can begin again.

In Genesis 5–6:8, the refrain changes from “it was good” to “and he died”—until one stunning interruption: Enoch walked with God. Chris tackles the strange “sons of God” passage, the pattern of “saw and took,” and why Scripture shows a God who grieves before He judges. Far from a divine tantrum, the flood emerges as painful mercy in a world unraveling. We’re invited to name where we cross boundaries, to share God’s lament, and to choose Enoch’s way—walking with God while grace finds Noah and hope breaks in.

In Genesis 4:17–26, we trace Cain’s city, Lamech’s boast, and the birth of music, tools, and industry—human progress rising while peace falls. Chris contrasts the “city of self” with a people who “begin to call on the name of the Lord,” asking whether we’re building without God or building with Him. We explore empire vs. kingdom, vengeance “seventy-sevenfold” vs. Jesus’ forgiveness, and the slow way of prayer and presence. When the world builds towers, the church learns to build altars.

In Genesis 4:1–16, Chris unpacks the first act of worship outside the garden and the fracture between two brothers. Why does God “regard” Abel’s offering and not Cain’s—and what does that reveal about trust, envy, and the myth of limited favor? We explore sin “crouching at the door,” the mark of Cain as a sign of mercy, and the call to be our brother’s keeper. The episode ends by pointing to the better word of Jesus’ blood—ending rivalry and inviting us to trust God’s abundant grace east of Eden.

Genesis 3 closes with justice and mercy side by side. We walk through God’s words to the serpent, the woman, and the man, noting that only the serpent and the ground are explicitly cursed, and exploring how childbirth sorrow and fractured relationships name life outside the garden. We consider why patriarchy is a result of the fall, not God’s design, how toil reshapes our vocation, and why exile explains the ache we all feel. Along the way we talk proto-gospel hope, the meaning of Eve’s name, spiritual warfare as everyday unity, and God’s tender act of clothing his children. The story does not end east of Eden. In Christ, the serpent’s head is crushed and the way home is opened.
