3. Let There Be Light - Creation Day 1
Contributed on Aug 5, 2021
What is the significance in the first day and what does it say against the backdrop of evolutionary science. Even more, how does Jesus fit into this motif?
Introduction Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve shared with you the impossibility of evolution. This is not a philosophical argument, but a theological fact. Evolutionists seek to dispose of God, especially the God of the Bible. Evolution, the gospel, and our salvation are impossibly compatible. ...read more

5. A Dwelling Place For You - Creation Day 3
Contributed on Aug 26, 2021
Scripture that is God-breathed and authoritative. Over the last several weeks, I’ve demonstrated to you how theories like evolution are imposed to undermine Scripture and unseat God from His position as Creator.

8. This Is Us - Creation Day 6 Part 1
Contributed on Sep 9, 2021
When Christians deny the biblical creation narrative we see that an enormous robbery has taken place in which someone has stolen from you that which provides shelter for your life and we don’t even know it.

10. The Sabbath: God's Memorial To His Creation - Creation Day 7
Contributed on Sep 21, 2021
The seventh day is mentioned three times here in Genesis 2:1-3. The seventh day is unique; it has incomparable significance, indicated also by the fact that this is the first time the word “holy” is used in Scripture.

11. The Creation Of Man And Woman (Part 1 )
Contributed on Sep 30, 2021
The common misconception is that Chapter 2 is an epilogue or secondary insertion of what may have happened at creation. It is used by those who try to impose evolution into the creation narrative to justify their stance.

12. The Creation Of Man And Woman - Parts 2 & 3
Contributed on Oct 6, 2021
This is a two-part sermon. God also gave man full dominion over God’s creation on earth. As the pinnacle of creations, man was appointed as managers, if you will, over God’s beautiful creation. It was man who relinquished that dominion over to Satan.

13. The Origin Of Evil In Man (Part 1)
Contributed on Nov 2, 2021
the biblical revelation of the original goodness of creation upholds the goodness - the holiness - of God. And it makes the source of evil outside of God. Because the source of evil is outside of God, God can and will conquer evil and ultimately save sinners.

14. The Origin Of Evil In Man (Part 2)

15. The Curse Of Sin - Part 1
Contributed on Nov 17, 2021
Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

16. The Curse Of Death - Part 2
Contributed on Nov 24, 2021
There are a number of repercussions instituted by God as a result of the fall. Most movements in our culture today are opposition to this curse. What we fail to understand as a society is the masterful weaving of grace in the curse.

17. The First Sacrifice In The Bible
Contributed on Dec 9, 2021
In God’s judgment, there is provision and mercy. What we find now in this little section of Scripture today is nothing more than amazing. In these 4 verses, we have the necessary elements for salvation. So as soon as man falls, God sets in motion the means of redemption.
