Genesis 49-50 God Meant It All
March 11, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 11.3 MBA final sermon in our study of Genesis by Tim Rees.
Genesis 48 Crossed Up
March 09, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 11 MBIn Hebrews 11:21, Jacob's entry into the "Hall of Faith" describes a mountaintop moment of faith for him. It's not his wrestling with God. It's not his wonder at the stairway to heaven. It's not even his sacrifice to God before departing the Promised Land. Instead, it's the event of this chapter, Genesis 48, where Jacob worships on his staff as he blesses Joseph's sons.
Genesis 46-47 Still On A Mission From God
March 07, 2022 09:00 - 43 minutes - 12.2 MBJacob departs the Promised Land to be reunited — at last— with his beloved Joseph! But before he departs the land of promise, he sacrifices to God in faithfulness. God responds by reaffirming Jacob's role in His Mission, a Mission from God!
Genesis 44-45 Reunited (and it feels so good)
March 04, 2022 05:07 - 47 minutes - 22.5 MBTo affect a wonderful reuniting of Jacob's sons, God orchestrates true repentance. Joseph will have a grand reveal before his brothers, and his brothers will have a grander repentance before him.
Genesis 42-45 God's Kindness Leads Us To Repentance
March 04, 2022 05:07 - 41.1 MBOriginally posted Sep 10, 2017
Genesis 29:31-30:24 Why have you come this morning?
February 11, 2022 09:00 - 11.7 MBOriginally posted Jul 6, 2017
Genesis 29 Waking Up With Leah
February 11, 2022 09:00 - 40 minutes - 11.6 MBLike many new adventures, love interests, careers, and pursuits of self-validation, we begin with heightened expectations only to end up in settled disappointment. Such was the case for Jacob as he went to bed with Rachel but in the morning, behold, it's Leah!
Genesis 28 The Stairway to Heaven
February 09, 2022 09:00 - 43 minutes - 14.7 MBGod comes down to disrupt and exhort Jacob at his lowest point — alone, afraid, abandoned, and broke — show him the Kingdom and the plans for his life to bless all. Jesus likewise shows up His Kingdom and His affirmation to be with us as we walk and work with Him to bless all people.
Genesis 25 Let's Make a Deal
February 04, 2022 08:30 - 46 minutes - 13.4 MBAfter our introduction to the twins in Genesis 25, Jacob connives to secure Esau's birthright for a bowl of stew. Worst deal ever, but that's the peril of living life without the ability to delay immediate gratification. Ultimately, Jesus denied his immediate gratifications because he had a greater delayed gratification - us.
Genesis 24 How I Met Your Mother
February 03, 2022 09:30 - 41 minutes - 11.6 MBFrom Israel's perspective (whether the setting is their fearful entry into the promised to battle the inhabitants or their despair while in captivity in Babylon), this is the story of how they came into being — or said another way, "How I Met Your Mother." Abraham's servant finds a bride for Isaac to continue the promises established in Genesis 12, 15, 17, and 22. As an aside, we'll also glean a lesson on finding an appropriate spouse in the Lord.
Genesis 23:1-20 God's Promised Land
February 02, 2022 09:00 - 5.84 MBOriginally posted May 24, 2017
Genesis 22 The Binding of Isaac
February 01, 2022 09:00 - 46 minutes - 13.2 MBWe struggle with God's test of Abraham (and Isaac) but marvel at God's sacrifice of His only son, whom He loves to ransom us from our self destruction.
Genesis 17 Covenant Confidence
January 26, 2022 03:00 - 39 minutes - 11.2 MBGod affirms a covenant with Abraham (no longer called Abram) to be the father of a multitude through Isaac, if Abraham will walk faithfully and obediently with God. Abraham responds to God's offer by circumcising himself and his household that same day. For us, circumcision of the foreskin holds no value, but Christ does circumcise our flesh when we raised to new life in Him. See Colossians 2:11-14
Genesis 15 How Can I Know?
January 21, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 10.8 MBGod exalts Abram for his faith by credited him with righteousness. Yet Abram repeatedly expresses his doubts even in the midst of faithful walking with God. "How can I know?" he asks. God responds with covenant ratification ceremony that amazes Abram and anchors us in real hope. No one could see this coming!
Genesis 11 The Tower of Babel
January 18, 2022 10:00 - 35 minutes - 10.1 MBAs the "pre-history" of Genesis draws to a close, God re-engages man to fill the earth, but man attempts to live out of alignment with the will of God. Genesis 11:1-9
Genesis 6-9 The Ark & The Bow
January 11, 2022 10:00 - 42 minutes - 12.3 MBThrough the flood, the ark and the bow, we can appreciate: Man's Sin, God's Grief, and Costly Mercy.
Genesis 3 Paradise Lost
January 05, 2022 10:30 - 42 minutes - 12.6 MBIn the great epic of Creation—Fall—Redemption—Restoration, the Bible here describes the loss of paradise and the fall of man through the first Adam. But just as the first Adam disobeyed regarding the Tree, the second Adam, that is Jesus, obeyed concerning the tree to provide reverse the curse and set the stage for a paradise restored. A study of Genesis 3.
Genesis 1 In the Beginning… God!
January 03, 2022 22:00 - 33 minutes - 9.95 MBGenesis 1 often stirs interest in the question "HOW was the universe created?" However, based on the artistry and significance of this Scripture, the better questions to ask is "WHY was the universe created?"
Genesis 42-43 Why Is God Doing This To Us?
August 28, 2017 18:00 - 39 minutes - 19.1 MBWhen we are in the midst of discipline and training from the Lord, we are often left wondering, "What in the world is God doing to us?" He skillfully applies the events of a fallen, broken world to our darkened broken soul to produce holiness, righteousness, and peace for those who have been trained by it (Hebrews 12:10-11). God continues His reclamation project of Israel through the famine that extends to Canaan as His people get ready to head down to Egypt.
Genesis 41 Refined by Famine and Fame
August 28, 2017 17:52 - 35 minutes - 9.94 MBGod refines His people, usually by suffering that produces perseverance that produces character that produces hope (Romans 5:3-4) or by testing through fires (1Peter 1:6-7). Here He refines Israel through famine and Joseph through slavery, imprisonment, and later — interestingly— through fame.
Genesis 40-41a I Had A Dream (and a then Second One)
August 20, 2017 01:52 - 45 minutes - 12.1 MBJoseph, unlike his jailhouse companions, never gives in to self pity because of his unwavering trust in God. He reveals his steadfast faith in an explanation to Pharaoh where he affirms, "the matter has been firmly decided by God." Thus, we find that Joseph has always held to the affirmation of his own two dreams rather then fall into despair during thirteen years of trials that included betrayal, slavery, injustice, and imprisonment.
Genesis 38 Who's Your Daddy?
August 20, 2017 01:40 - 45 minutes - 13.1 MBThe ignoble origin story of Judah in Genesis 38. Tamar's desperate gambit for social justice brings repentance to the line of Judah through eye-opening confrontation with difficult truth.
