The Predictions About The Messiah in Pentateuch Both Jewish and Christian traditions from the early centuries found references to the Messiah in the Law, also known as Pentateuch. Some of the most controversial passages among the scholarly world are Gen. 3:15 , Gen. 49:8-12 , Num. 24:17-19 , Deut. 18:18-19…

If it’s weird it’s important Last week we saw that many of the common views of Gen 6:1-4 are seriously flawed. We need to remember that the proper context for reading any biblical text is the context in which it was written. The Biblical writers of the New Testament were influenced by works in their…

We’re picking up where we left off in Genesis. The first 5 chapters detailed the creation of the universe, the creation of mankind, the Fall of mankind, and the spiral of mankind into sin and depravity. But we also saw a glimmer of hope, a light found in the lineage of Seth, the third son of Adam. His…

You make a perfect world. Everything is right. From the first star to the smallest creature that walk upon the planet. You step back when you’re done and you look over your creation, and you announce, That’s good. Very Good. Genesis 1:31 (ESV) 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it…

5 And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. What is faith? Complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Belief and trust in and loyalty to God. Faith is stepping out where one cannot see safety, yet trusting God’s promises. Noah was a prime example of this definition, faithfully stepping…

God graciously provides a solution for evil in the world and in our hearts.

Intro: Binding on your bible is like the Covenants we find in the bible. Progressive revelation: God’s process of revelation whereby He, by his spirit and through the revealed word, exposes a deeper and richer understanding of himself as time progresses so that what we know at the conclusion of his revelation…

Wrath and Grace Today we are going to talk about one of the most beloved stories in the OT. This story has inspired flannel graphs, art work, and cute toys. In fact, our nursery has a big mural of this story on one of its walls. As do many nurseries across the country. If you haven’t guessed yet we are…

Session Outline 1. Sin grieves God and brings His judgment (Gen. 6:5-7). 2. Sin brings judgment, but God provides grace (Gen. 6:8-9,17-22). 3. Sin will not halt God’s creative purpose ( Gen. 9:1 , 12-15 ). Summarize: In this session, we will see that what began in Eden with Adam and Eve’s choice not…

Genesis 1:1 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Introduction The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings, it describes where we came from, it declares what is wrong with us, it discloses where we are going It lays the foundations of human institutions Now unlike any other time…

There is far more to Pentecost than meets the eye--or the ear. As we remember, one of the "presents" the Lord gave to the church on her birthday was the Holy Spirit poured out on the Lord's disciples. "They spoke in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." A birthday celebration--but vastly more important is what God has to say to the church of Jesus regarding spiritual warfare. Exactly how does a "birthday party" and spiritual warfare play themselves out? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover the Lord's marching orders for his church in waging true spiritual warfare.

ME: There’s a cultural phenomenon going on in our world today called “cancel culture”. What it says is that if you express views that are contrary to those acceptable by a particular group - whether that be a group of friends, a business, a media channel, a government official, you can be locked out…

We are back in our study of the book of Genesis today. In our series THE PROMISE, we come to Genesis chapter 19 today. If you have read the text or are familiar with the story, you can probably understand why I’m always tempted to focus on the sin of the outsiders in texts like this. They are so obvious…

That may Some things to notice: The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Most of us read this verse and we probably don’t think much about what we read. But if you were a Jew, the word LORD would spark all sorts…

The waiting game What about me? There is a danger in reading a text like we have today. Abram and Sarai were pagan’s. Spent years going against God’s will. Yet God blesses them The temptation when we look at someone like Abram is “What about me? ” I come to church, I try to do the right things… i”m not…

Pentateuch The story of how God restored mankind, lovingly and graciously redeeming them out of sin’s slavery and raising up a people though whom He would touch the whole world.

Genesis 6:9 - 7:24 November 1, 2020

Michelle and I have been watching a series on Amazon Prime called Poldark… it’s based on a series of books written back in the 1940’s about a family in London around the late 1700s. Every episode is full of conflict but back then they handled conflict very differently than we do today. It’s hard to tell…

Why two lists of what came in the ark When the Lord saw that human wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every inclination of the human mind was nothing but evil all the time, the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and he was deeply grieved. Then the Lord said, “I will wipe mankind,…

At first the story of the Flood and Promise can be interpreted as a simple, nostalgic children's story. However it is much more complex than that. Ultimately it is a story about God's love for the world, and how God chooses a better way (in the end) than returning violence with violence. That is our calling too.

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. John 10:9 a “I am the door, If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved..”

And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and…
