This sermon introduction discusses the concept of new beginnings and second chances in the Bible, using the stories of Adam, Noah, and Abraham as examples, and poses the question of how one can participate in God's work in the world.

When we were kids, mistakes were magically fixed with a “do-over.” As adults, God knows we still need “do-overs.” Good thing the Bible begins with a book called “Genesis.” It is not merely the beginning—it tells the story of “new-beginnings.” Generation after generation—Adam, Noah, and Abraham—God ...read more
