Genesis 6 begins with a world that is growing. The number of people is increasing. But something else is increasing as well. Sin. As we saw in Genesis 5 the culmination and end result of sin is death. We were reminded again and again of sins consequences with the words “And he died” person after person, generation after generation died. Death had entered God's good creation because of sin. When we come to Genesis 6, we discover that the problem isn't simply that people die. The deeper problem is what is happening inside the human heart.
In Genesis 5 if you look closely we see a lot of death, but we also see life. This chapter is a constant reminder of sins consequences, But it's also about God's faithfulness. And ultimately, if we look closely it points us toward the gospel.
Genesis is the book of origins, the book of beginnings. And in this section from Genesis 2:4 to the end of Genesis 4 Moses has been laying the foundation for understanding all of human history, society, relationships and religion. In Genesis 3 we saw sin introduced into the perfect human family that God had created in His image and the devastating consequences of that sin. And now in Genesis 4 we are seeing the destructive nature of expanding sin in the next generation from Adam and Eve as Cain murders his brother Abel after being warned by God against sin. We saw how Cain was concerned about
Christ's transfiguration is an important turning point in the Gospel of Mark. We see the deity of Christ put on full display. What do we learn from this event that helps us become better followers of Christ?
Only one generation in and sin has gripped humanity deeper and we see the first account of murder in the Old Testament. Even in Cain's disobedience and sinful actions, God still seeks to deal graciously with Cain.
God graciously and mercifully deals with Adam and Eve's sin by covering them. The curse of sin is real, but the covering for sin is offered to all who come to God.
Since the fall there are consequences to sin. Both Adam and Eve faced consequences for their decisions. These consequences have had effects on all humanity.
This section in Mark 8 begins a new emphasis on Jesus ministry. Jesus is now focused on the cross that looms in the distance and what it means to follow Him.
Genesis 3 records for us how sin came into the world and the tactics Satan uses to deceive and tempt humanity.
In the ending of Genesis 2 we are shown the very first marriage that God designed and ordained. We are given some specific information as to why God made a woman for man and the purpose of marriage.
We are given moire details about the creation of man in Genesis 2 and it helps understand what God was doing in His creation of man and how we can further understand our purpose in Him creating us.
We have the account of Jesus healing a blind man with spit. There are some very helpful truths that we can learn from this miracle.
After 6 days of creation, God rested on the 7th day. What do we learn about who God is and why we should have a day of rest?
We have the account in Genesis about how God created man. Why did God create us?
Genesis 1:1-2:3 gives us the 6 day creation account of everything God created. What do we learn about who God is?
As we begin this series out of Genesis there are some helpful points to look at as we lay the groundwork for the book of Genesis.
Jesus and His disciples are in a boat headed across the lake. Jesus had just fed the 4000 with a miracle of creating bread and fish for those who had been with Him. Jesus then says to His disciples let’s get in the boat and go to the other side. While in the boat someone forgot to bring the sandwiches… God was moving in a powerful way and Jesus was teaching some excellent spiritual truth and yet the disciples missed it, because they were focused on the physical.. Someone forgot to bring the sandwiches… Jesus is going to use this opportunity to teach the disciples and us about what is really im
The Elders did a live Q&A and answered any questions about God's will.
We have spent the past 3 months going through all the areas where God tells us plainly what His will is for our lives: It has covered everything from His will for us to be saved, how we are to live, and how to handle certain situations in life. These things are what we call God’s revealed will. What about the things that aren’t revealed? How can we know what God’s will is for our life when it comes to decisions we have to make? How will we know if we are making the right decision? This is what we called God’s hidden will. It’s hidden because it’s not revealed to us in Scripture. God's Word giv
Jesus gives a sign to the religious leaders of His day about who He is. This sign is the one, if we don't believe it no other sign would ever suffice.
God's will is that we experience and know of all the blessings we have in Christ.
In Ephesians 5:16-18, in these three short verses God reveals His will for our lives. It has to do with Time. What we do with it, how we use it in connection with how a Christian lives their life.
In this prayer in Colossians 1 Paul tells these believers and us what God’s will is. Notice what Paul says here in Vs 9 “be filled with the knowledge of His will” So it is God’s desire that we are filled with the knowledge of His will. What is His will for our life? To live a life that is pleasing to God. What does a life that is pleasing to God look like? Paul gives us four things.
In Hebrews the writer is telling us about our sanctification as it pertains to our salvation and what God did through the body of Jesus. God is communicating to us that it is His will that we have been sanctified, been made holy, and He is sanctifying us, making us holy. It has happened and is happening through the body of Jesus. This is important to understand because our sanctification or our holiness is not because of something that we do or don’t do, If we’re not careful we can treat our sanctification like a product and remove the importance of the body of Jesus.
What do we learn about compassion from Jesus' miracle of feeding the 4,000?
