Genesis 3:1-7.

At the height of shalom (the way it should be), mankind was fully connected with God and one another. In chapter 3, however, a new character is introduced... the chaos creature. In a few subtle statements, this serpent  deceives mankind into choosing life outside of God.  His tactics have not changed. So in this episode, we will study the tactics of our enemy so that we will be able to better resist him in our own lives.

Eden represents God's space and human's space overlapping as God is fully with his people in a state of love, joy, and peace. Beginning in creation, climaxing in the cross, and culminating in eternity, Eden is one of the core themes of your Bible.

Genesis 2:4-25.

What does it feel like to be "at home"? Calm. Peaceful. Restful. Joyful. When asked this question, people end up describing Eden. The Garden of Eden was where God’s space and humanity’s space overlapped. God's desire was to create a world for his image bearers to thrive as they co-created with him forever. As we look into Genesis 2, we see the ultimate picture of the world that was meant to be. A place for our souls to be at home with God.

Genesis 2:1-3.

The culmination of creation is not God doing, but God resting. God calls his people to mimic him by inviting them into the rest he offers. The hope of this episode is that we would learn what it means to rest in God as we see Jesus reclaiming rest in our lives. So be still and enter into the rest of God.

Genesis 1:1-25.

In the beginning, God created a world beaming with life and potential. Where there was formlessness, he creates from. Where this is void, he creates fullness and life. All of this is simply setting the stage for his image bearers to flourish. The creation account in Genesis 1 is a poem designed to show you the creativity, power, and love of God. In this episode we explore, not just creation, but what creation shows us about the heart of our Creator.

Genesis 1:1-3.

Creation is not mainly about creation. Creation is about the God of creation. Creation is a canvas where we see the character of God. In the first three verses of Genesis, God introduces himself as singularly sovereign over the universe. God uses this immense power to move towards chaos to create order. The same God who said "Let there be light" is the same God who is still shining a light in our own hearts in order for us to see the glory of Christ.

In this episode we explore the story you are living in... or the story you think you are living in. Every person must ask and answer 5 foundational questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is wrong with the world? What can be done to fix it? Where is all of this going? How we answer these questions shape the story we tell ourselves about God, ourselves, and the world around us. The Bible not only gives the right answer, but a better answer. Regardless of what story you think you are living in, Jesus is inviting us into a bigger and better story.

Before we dive into the Scriptures, we need to know what the Scriptures actually are. In our modern day, many approach the Bible in a way that it was never designed to be read. Rather than letting the Bible be what it was meant to be, we end up reducing the Bible down to what we want it to be. In this episode we will explore 10 things that the Bible is and the Bible isn't. Once we orient ourselves to the Scriptures, then the story will come alive like never before.
