In Genesis four God appeals to Cain to not become enslaved by sin, and then mercifully after Cain sins God calls him to come clean. There are some very clear and practical lessons to learn from this chapter.

We’ve just begun a new study in the book of Genesis. And in chapter four we will encounter the first murder. It’s hard to believe that it takes place sometime after bringing an offering in worship to God. It’s striking to hear of a worshipper of God falling into sin. How does that happen? For some answers let’s join pastor Thom in Genesis four.

In Genesis chapter three we read of the fall of Adam and Eve. God gave them a simple command, don’t eat from the Tree of Life. Of course we all know that they did, and what happened as a result. But did you realize the Tree of Life still exists, and one day if you’re a Christian you’ll get to see it in heaven? Not only that, you’ll get to eat from it as well! Let’s join pastor Thom Keller in Genesis chapter three for Study the Word, and consider together where the tree of life is today.

The choices of life have consequences. And that includes the bad choices! We’re in the middle of a series in Genesis. And today our focus is on the Fall and the consequences of sin – such as loss of innocence and a sense of guilt and shame. While this is denied by our culture, they still exist. And we stand to benefit through an increased awareness.

We’ll join pastor Thom Keller in Acts chapter fifteen. And at this point in the early church there’s conflict and controversy. Paul and Barnabas have been doing the Lord’s work, sharing the salvation message with Jews and Gentiles alike. But now - they’re facing opposition within their own ranks. There’s room for disagreement in the body of Christ when it comes to non-essentials. But there are some non-negotiables, or what we might call essential doctrines of the faith!In that realm we must be in total agreement. And certainly how a person is saved falls within that territory! Let’s find our place in Acts chapter fifteen where there was a severe deviation from the Gospel message.

God created the world, and everything in it, in six days. That includes you and me. So do we take that literally or figuratively? As you may know there is some debate about that today. Today on Study the Word we’ll see there’s good reason to believe in a literal six days of creation. Pastor Thom Keller will also point out the why behind God’s creation, and how we were created in the image and likeness of God.

There’s increasing confusion and controversy in our world today of what should be plain. Our creator God exists. You can’t have life from non-life. The very clear design with irreducible complexity presupposes a designer. There are many good reasons to believe and on today’s Study The Word we’ll explore some of them.

What’s right and what’s wrong? And how do you come to that determination? As you may have noticed that’s being greatly debated today. Some say it’s up to us to determine that. The same thing happened during the time of the Judges. And the consequences for doing this are disastrous. Today on Study the Word pastor Thom Keller takes us to Judges nineteen and twenty, where the nation of Israel resembles modern day America. Moral depravity was on the rise, and the nation had sunk low.
