The Well: Sermon Video

Immediately after demonstrating an incredible act of faith by leaving his homeland, we see Abraham falter and fail when he tries to escape famine by going to Egypt. Through it all, we see that our identity is not found in our sin and mistakes, but rather in how we repent and respond to them. Speaker: Mike Slayden

In Abraham's first refining moment, he leaves his homeland following the call of God. The Abrahamic Covenant shows us that even when Abraham demonstrates only partial obedience, God is still faithful. God's promise to us is not an "if-then" bargain, it's a simple and faithful "I will." Speaker: Mike Slayden

Even though the flood wiped out wickedness from the earth, the ensuing passages show us that sin cannot be remedied by the environment. This week we walk through text that has been used for centuries to manipulate and divide. However, the Bible is clear that we are all created by God to reflect His glory. Speaker: Brad Bell

When the earth was corrupt and filled with violence, God pronounced judgment by appointing a flood. Just as there was one door in the ark that saved Noah, there is one means of salvation for us today. Jesus Christ alone can save us from God's coming day of judgment.

Speaker: Brad Bell

Psalm 13 reminds us that God is still good even though circumstances aren’t. We have undoubtedly walked through a difficult year, and yet, we have trusted in God’s lovingkindness. As we come to the end of 2020, there’s no question that God has been on the move, and so we sing His praise. Speaker: Brad Bell

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

We are taking a quick pause from our Genesis study to explore 8 foundational practices that are essential to a healthy spiritual life. No matter where you are in your walk with the Lord, these Foundations are "the how" for living out our mission of connecting to God and to each other in every neighborhood.

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
