We must engage in God's Temple-building mission (i.e., the mission of the church) with hope and confidence, relying on His Sovereign Spirit and trusting in the Savior who will finish His work through the proclamation of His invincible Word.

Entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven requires perfect love for the brethren. Our sin and need for salvation is seen in our anger that leads to hateful actions, but by faith in Christ, the Spirit of God transforms us into people who love God, love others, and are reconciled in our relationships.

As the darkness of sin grows and the curse of death reigns, the light of God’s grace and mercy shines bright in the foreshadowing of One to come who will offer rest for our weary souls and eternal life to all those who embrace Him by grace through faith.

In the battle between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, God is faithful to continue the seed of the woman until Christ gains the final victory, crushing the seed of the serpent, mankind’s greatest enemy the devil, through His death and His more righteous blood than Abel.

As elect exiles in Christ we have been changed and are being changed into the likeness of Jesus. Peter reminds us that our thoughts, actions, and affections should be markedly different as we live out our lives in Christ together in the Body.

The unfolding promise of the gospel is that the seed of the woman, Jesus, will crush the seed of the serpent, mankind's greatest enemy the devil, through His death, burial, and resurrection. Genesis is not only all about Jesus, but it tells the story of how God protects the line that takes us to Jesus.

As a result of the devil’s lies and Adam’s disobedience, we are all sinners enslaved to disobedience, living in a broken world, and in desperate need of a Savior. Through the second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ, and His perfect obedience, we can be forgiven, made righteous, and live for God’s glory.

By the power of God's word, He provides a perfect paradise in which man and woman are placed to live in eternal fellowship with their Creator. But now, after the fall, Eden is a picture of the glorious paradise that God has in store for all those who trust in Jesus Christ as their Redeemer.

Sermon Theme: By the power of His word, God created the entire universe out of nothing, bringing life out of death, with purpose and meaning; which points us forward to the reality that God also brings spiritual life out of death through His Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, and offers eternal rest in Him.

God, in His infinite wisdom, made mankind as the pinnacle of creation and endowed him with value. Therefore, as faithful followers of Christ, we cannot worship God while treating His supreme creation with contempt or hatred. Loving God requires respect and honor for those made in God's image!
