Can we build heaven on earth without God? In Genesis 11:1–9, humanity unites to reach for greatness apart from their Creator. This sermon explores the timeless pattern of pride—from Babel to Silicon Valley—and the surprising mercy of a God who comes down. It all points forward to Pentecost, where God comes down again, not to scatter, but to gather a people for Himself.

The story of Noah is a sobering account of judgment by flood, but also a story of grace. In this talk, we explore the spreading of sin, the weight of divine justice, and the mercy of a God who still makes a way. Jesus is the true and better ark, the one who carries us through the storm and into new creation.

Sin has consequences—but even in the dust, hope remains. In this talk, we explore the curse declared, the grace of God in providing a covering, the spreading reality of sin, and the flickers of hope that point us forward to Jesus, the serpent-crusher who covers our shame and restores us to God.

This sermon explores the tragic entry of sin into the world through the fall of Adam and Eve—and how that moment continues to shape our lives today. But even in the midst of rebellion, we glimpse God’s grace. Far from being just a story of shame and hiding, this chapter reveals a God who seeks sinners and offers refuge in Christ. Lay down your fig leaves and find your life hidden in Him.

What does it mean to be human, and how do we relate to one another as men and women? In this sermon, we zoom in on God’s creation of humanity and discover the beauty of being made male and female in His image. We see God’s good design for marriage, the call to community, and the deeper belonging we find in Christ, our true Bridegroom.

What does it mean to be human? Are we just dust and DNA, or is there more to our story? Genesis 1 says we’re made in the image of God — crowned with dignity, entrusted with dominion, and destined for glory. This message unpacks what it means to be made to rule under God and how Jesus restores our true humanity.

How the Bible begins shapes how we understand everything. In Genesis 1, we meet the true and living God who speaks creation into being, breathes life into humanity, and invites us into relationship with Him. This sermon reminds us not to get distracted by side debates, but to focus on the main event: the God who made us, sustains us, and calls us home through Christ.
