Part 1 - Genesis 19:1-8 - SOLD OUT! Her father gently tries to persuade her with promises of a better life. She cries and shudders but does not move.

Part 1 - Genesis 21:1-7 - Laughing At God! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 20, 2010

It seems Isaac was laughed at in one way or another all his life. Isaac means "laughter". What an appropriate name. A river of LAUGHTER runs through the entire story of the birth of Isaac.

Part 1 - Genesis 21:1-7 - LAUGHING AT GOD! As he was born my heart was bursting with JOY. I held my son Ben up to the Lord and dedicated him then and there. I was so grateful for the gift of a child.

"the Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1:1"

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 2, 2021

When we stop to meditate on the first verse of Holy Scripture, we see not only the majesty and power of Almighty God in action, but if we look deeper, we also see the beginnings of scientific thought and the real explanation for the origin of life and the universe.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, KJV). Consider for a moment how solemn, powerful and wondrous these opening words of Holy Scripture are. They present the work, thought, and exactness of Almighty God. You are probably saying to yourself, ...read more

Listening And Relying - Genesis 22:1-18

Contributed by Philip Foster on Jan 26, 2013

Listening and relying on the Lord in every day life.

In my life I have shared in the past that I was an infantry soldier. If there is one thing I have not forgotten is the sound of my first squad leader’s voice from active duty. He was from the Philippines and he had an accent to match that background. He would say Fosta… what you doing Fosta… get ...read more

Identity 1– Created For Relationship Genesis 2 Series

Contributed by Joseph Rodgers on Apr 11, 2019

Who we are isn’t defined by our vocation or our successes, fears, or failures – our identity is so much more than these things. As Christ-followers, who we are, is determined by our spiritual birth.

If I were to ask – Who’s Billy Graham? Most would say – BG was a great evangelist. And that’d be correct. But would it answer my question? No. B/c being an evangelist isn’t who BG is – it is what he used to do. If the totality of BG’s identity is found in being an evangelist, then who is he now ...read more

Hold It Together - Genesis 1:6-20 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 23, 2021

The problem is we don’t know what to worship just by looking at the scriptures. Some people mistake that to be worship creation itself. Some people worship creation instead of the Creator. They misunderstand the message.

We’re studying the book of Genesis and we start, of course, with Genesis 1 which is creation. Last week we looked at God created the heavens and the earth. We looked at day one where God created light. One of the things we said is here’s what happens when you start to look at creation. There is a ...read more

The Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1: A Second Helping

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 22, 2022

One of the first sermons I wrote and posted for this site dealt with the scientific brilliance found in the first chapter of Genesis. There are other scientific standards found in this opening chapter of the inerrant and all-sufficient Word of God, and they are worth exploring and affirming.

When I read the first chapter of Genesis, I do not see the development of an ancient myth or legend. I do not see the fruit of an overactive imagination of an anonymous sage trying to explain to his "backward" clan or tribe of how they came to be. I do not see any collection of ...read more
