Friend of God: James 2:17-24: Abraham was called a friend of God, The same promises are available for us as New Testament Christians, Come discover what it takes to be a friend with God and how to apply these concepts in our daily lives.

This is the first of two messages from Genesis 3. In this message, entitled Things Fall Apart and focusing primarily on Genesis 3:1-13, we approach the passage as a case study in Satan’s strategy and the dynamics of temptation. “Forewarned is forearmed” is certainly true in this case!

In Genesis 2:18, God declares, “It is not good for the man to be alone.” As God set out to rectify that situation we learn valuable lessons about man, gender and marriage in this message entitled Male and Female He Created Them, taken from Genesis 2:18-25.

There is a very important, very fundamental question which demands an answer. How we answer the question has huge consequences in almost every domain and realm of life. It is the question: What is Man? It will take us several sermons to explore the Biblical answer to this question. By looking at the account of the creation of the first man (in Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 2:4-17) we discover what man was in his original state; made of dirt but destined for glory! This will take us well on our way to understanding what man was intended to be as well as give us clues to why we are in the mess we’re in today.

Genesis 1:1-2:3 raises many questions in our minds. Not all Christians answer these questions in the same way. In this message (God Commanded...And They Were Created), we take a quick look at some of those questions, but we quickly move beyond them. Most of our modern questions focus on the “How?” and the “When?” of Creation. But Genesis 1 focuses on “Who?” This is where we spend most of our time in this message. If God created the world and the universe around us, what does the universe reveal about him? How do these truths about God affect us today?

A great book needs a great opening sentence. The greatest book in the world has the greatest opening sentence of all time: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). In this message (In the Beginning) we focus exclusively on this profound opening sentence. What foundational theological truths does it establish? How do we know Genesis 1:1 is true? If it is true, what are the implications for us today?
