We are in a war, and that war is already won. Yet, the unseen spiritual battle rages on. During this Christmas season it is crucial to understand and remember that we were made to be saved.

God created us to work. It was part of His good and perfect design for humanity (Genesis 2:15). However, because of sin, work is now under the curse and is not what God intended it to be. Timothy “TA” Ateek walks us through the effects of the curse on our work in Genesis 3:17-19 and the ways we can still glorify God through our jobs in Colossians 3:22-24.

Sin is inevitable; therefore, forgiveness is essential. Forgiveness must flow from us as we live out the gospel in the way we handle sin and conflict in our relationships.

Genesis 3:7-11 shows us when shame entered the human experience. How does shame shape how we view ourselves and how we live? Timothy “TA” Ateek walks us through how God’s grace is greater than our failures, guilt, and shame.

We live in a broken world with an enemy, Satan, who lies to us about God and His goodness. Satan’s tactics in Genesis 3 are the same ones he uses today. He wants us to question God’s instruction, understate sin’s consequences, be intrigued by sin’s offering, and be trapped in shame. The way to quit falling for Satan’s lies is to be filled with God’s truth.

Everything that happens in Genesis is an overflow of the goodness of God, and the creation of marriage is no exception. Timothy “TA” Ateek walks us through the story of how God made marriage in Genesis 2:18-25 and how God embeds in the story five ways we can experience His goodness in marriage.

God has created three divine institutions to protect and care for us in relationship. The family provides love to counter loneliness; the government provides order to counter chaos; and the church provides growth to counter immaturity.

We are exhausted as a society. God offers a solution, but how do we live in that reality? With Christ, we are given a way of rest.

Genesis 2:4-25 says that we were made to flourish as God's image-bearers. What do you believe it means for you to flourish? Where do we find meaning? Where is life found? Blake Holmes reminds us we are made to flourish in relationship with God, through His provision, under His rule, and by His design.

The sermon series, Made, continues with TA reminding us of God’s heart for the nations and His eternal plan that includes every nation enjoying His presence, protection, and provision.
