Advent is an opportunity to rejoice in Jesus' arrival and to rejoice in the promises of God. As we look back on that first advent, this season can also help us learn to wait for the second advent when Jesus will return to be Emmanuel, "God with Us," again. Speaker: Brad Bell

After Cain kills Abel, we see the start of two significant bloodlines. The selfishness and tragedy we see through the line of Cain is juxtaposed with faithfulness to God and God's ultimate plan for redemption through the line of Seth. Speaker: Mike Slayden

Jesus is not God’s plan B. From the foundations of the world God pre-determined that this would be his plan for salvation. God knew the fall would occur and that without it we would miss out on His character and nature. Speaker: Mike Slayden

Through the exchange with the serpent in the garden we see humanity's first sin that has lasting impacts to this day. As hard as we may try, there is no human solution to sin. The only solution is the person and work of Jesus Christ. Speaker: Brad Bell

After the world is spoken into existence, we zoom in on the crown element of God’s creation- mankind. We see why all people are God’s masterpiece, starting with the intimate way He created us. Speaker: Mike Slayden

The prologue informs the rest of the story. Genesis not only informs the rest of the bible but the rest of history, starting with the creation of the world.

The book of Ruth is a gift of God's providence and love. Ruth's redemption by Boaz is a shadow of the full-color picture of Christ's redemption for us. We are not stuck in our sin because Jesus loves us so much that he came to be our very own kinsman-redeemer. Speaker: Brad Bell

Naomi instructs Ruth to visit Boaz on the threshing room floor. Through their exchange, we witness the relationship between Ruth and Boaz flourish despite the brokenness surrounding them. Their meeting shows us the benefit of starting relationships biblically instead of pursuing relationships according to the ways of the world. Speaker: Brad Bell
