Live Like This Was God’s Plan
June 02, 2021 18:00 - 39 minutes - 27 MBTakeaway: How will you respond to God’s hard providences? Will difficulties prompt you to harbor bitterness and cynicism about God’s kingdom? Will past injustices tempt you to live for yourself? In Genesis 45, Joseph’s view of God’s providence allows him to use his personal advancement as a gift for the benefit of God’s people. In Christlikeness, he not only is able to forgive his brothers but also uses his wealth and influence to prosper them. God is calling you to trust that this same merc...

June 02, 2021 16:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MBTAKEAWAY: Why does the church always seem to value those who look like they have it all together, when God constantly seems to choose those whose lives are a hot mess?

Genesis 2 argues that rest has to do with the “kings” we serve. God has designed Sabbath rest in not just a gift from God, it is an act of worship and submission to his kingship over your life. It is a blessing and reward that “lesser kings” cannot provide. How might incorporating the Sabbath redefine the other six days of your week? How d...
King’s Dominion
August 23, 2020 14:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBWhat kind of account is Genesis 1? We often miss the good news of this passage because we are wanting it to be another type of story. The creation account is the announcement that God is king of all. He rules over and transforms every aspect of a creation that begins formless and void. Because of this, those who have this God as their Lord are assured that our story will not end in darkness or chaos. Our future is filled with triumphant light and order. Where is the chaos in your life? Do yo...
