    Genesis: Part 8 | Fresh Start, Familiar Story
    2026/09/20

    Message Us!


    We all love the idea of a fresh start—a new year, a new job, a new relationship, or a new beginning. But fresh starts can change our circumstances without changing our hearts.

    That’s exactly what we see in the story of Noah. After the flood, Noah steps into a new world with a fresh start, but it quickly becomes a familiar story of human sin and brokenness. Genesis 8–9 ultimately points us beyond Noah to Jesus—the One who gives us new hearts and promises a truly new creation.

    Genesis: Part 7 | Walking with God

    Message Us!

    In a generation marked by rebellion and wickedness, Noah stood apart as a man who walked with God. He was not sinless, but by God’s grace he lived by faith, with integrity and obedience. Noah listened to God’s Word, trusted His warnings and His plan of salvation, proclaimed righteousness, and responded to God’s grace with worship. Like Noah, Christians are called to resist the pressure of the crowd and walk faithfully with God—even when that path is difficult and unpopular. Noah was delivered through a wooden ark; we are saved from judgment through the wooden cross of Jesus Christ.

  • Real Rest For A Restless Soul | Labor Day Sermon

    Real Rest For A Restless Soul | Labor Day Sermon
    2026/09/09

    Message Us!

    We talk about why a holiday, a Sabbath, or even a vacation can leave you worn out when your heart still feels restless. We open Jesus’ invitation to “come to me” and show how grace lifts the yoke of legalism, shame, and performance so you can finally breathe.
    • Labor Day irony and the difference between physical rest and soul rest
    • How Sabbath keeping can still feel crushing when the heart is in turmoil
    • Jesus’ direct invitation as personal access rather than a religious system
    • Why works-based religion and extra-biblical rules create burden and shame
    • The qualifier for the invitation: spiritually hungry, thirsty, burdened people
    • What it means to “come to Jesus” through the yoke image
    • Casting off the yoke of earning favor and putting on Christ’s easy yoke
    • Modern forms of legalism and why grace leads to joyful obedience
    • A closing story of long-term fear replaced by assurance and rest
    Come to me, all you who are burdened and heavy laden, and I will give you rest

  • Genesis: Part 6 | The Shocking Grace of the Flood

    Genesis: Part 6 | The Shocking Grace of the Flood
    2026/08/30

    Message Us!

    The flood account confronts us with both the seriousness of human sin and the holiness of God. Genesis 6 reveals that human wickedness is widespread, deeply rooted in the heart, and expressed through sexual immorality and violence. Yet God does not respond impulsively. He is patient with sinners, grieved by their rebellion, and just in His judgment.

    But judgment is not the only thing we see in this story: “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” Noah was not spared because he was perfect, but because he received God’s grace and responded by walking with Him. The shocking part of the flood narrative is not that God judged the world, but that He mercifully spared anyone at all. Just as Noah’s family was saved from judgment through a wooden ark, we are saved from the judgment to come through Jesus Christ and His wooden cross.

    Genesis 6:1-9

    1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

    5 The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7 So the LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
    9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

  • Genesis: Part 5 | Two Families; Two Legacies

    Genesis: Part 5 | Two Families; Two Legacies
    2026/08/23
    Message Us!Genesis 4–5 presents two families moving in two very different directions. Cain chooses a path of self-exaltation, violence, and rebellion against God, and those patterns intensify in the generations that follow him. Seth’s line, by contrast, becomes associated with calling upon the name of the Lord, walking with God, and ultimately hoping in God’s promise of deliverance.These two paths are vividly seen in the two men named Lamech. Cain’s Lamech boasts in violence and vengeance, while Seth’s Lamech speaks words of hope over his son Noah, believing God will bring comfort to a cursed world. Cain’s line ultimately ends in destruction at the flood, while Seth’s line continues through Noah and eventually leads to Jesus.The choices we make are not an island. They can influence our families for generations. The question is not simply, “What will I accomplish?” but “What kind of legacy will I leave?” May our lives point those who come after us not toward our own name, but toward the name of Jesus.Genesis 4:17-5:314: 17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. 19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. 22 Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.23 Lamech said to his wives:“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say:I have killed a man for wounding me,a young man for striking me.24 If Cain’s revenge is sevenfold,then Lamech’s is seventy-sevenfold.”25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, “God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 26 To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD.5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. 7 Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan. 10 Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel. 13 Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Thus all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared. 16 Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch. 19 Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech. 26 Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Thus all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son 29 and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the LORD has cursed, this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.” 30 Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.Support the show

  • Genesis: Part 4 | Sin is Crouching

    Genesis: Part 4 | Sin is Crouching
    2026/08/16

    Message Us!

    Genesis 4 shows that Cain is not merely a villain to condemn, but a mirror in which we should see our own sinful tendencies. Cain’s offering reveals a heart that lacks the faith and devotion seen in Abel. Yet God graciously confronts Cain, calling him to take responsibility and warning him that “sin is crouching at the door.” Sin is both subtle and predatory: what begins as anger, pride, resentment, or another seemingly small sin can eventually consume us if we entertain it rather than rule over it. Cain ignores God’s warning, murders Abel, and discovers that sin alienates him from God, creation, and other people. Yet even then, God shows Cain mercy. Ultimately, the story points us to Jesus, the true and better Abel, whose blood speaks a better word—not condemnation for those who trust him, but forgiveness and acquittal. Through Christ and the power of the Spirit, believers can rule over the sin that seeks to rule over them.

    Genesis 4:1-16

    4 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD.” 2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, and you must rule over it.”
    8 Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 And the LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 Then the LORD said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

    • Why Habakkuk is the book for hard questions
    • Habakkuk’s first complaint about violence and broken justice
    • God’s surprising plan to raise up Babylon
    • Why God disciplines those he loves in Hebrews 12
    • Discipline as training, not just correction for wrongdoing
    • How we can waste suffering if we refuse the lesson
    • Why tragedy is not always God’s punishment
    • “Treat it as discipline” as a way to seek refinement
    • Habakkuk’s second complaint and waiting at the watchpost
    • “The righteous shall live by his faith” as the anchor
    • God’s woes against Babylon and the promise of justice
    • The cross as the clearest proof God cares
    • A direct invitation to trust Jesus in suffering

    if you don't know Christ, man, today is the perfect day to accept a free gift of salvation.

    How Exodus Teaches Us To Trust God | Guest Speaker: Jack Buskey
    2026/08/04

    Message Us!

    We trace the Exodus as a map for our lives, from being delivered out of bondage to learning how to walk into God’s promises with real trust. We talk about why comfort can still be a wilderness, why obedience often comes before understanding, and why purpose matters more than ease.
    • appreciating faithful Bible teaching and the privilege of hearing Scripture explained clearly
    • Exodus as a present-day lesson in endurance, encouragement and hope
    • Red Sea deliverance as a picture of God’s power, light over darkness and freedom from bondage
    • fear at the edge of promise and the “grasshopper” mindset that keeps people stuck
    • the wilderness as miraculous provision without purpose and the danger of walking in circles
    • Jordan River faith as stepping in first, even at flood stage
    • promised land living as responsibility, dignity and mission rather than constant rescue
    • the bronze serpent as obedience that feels irrational and its link to John 3 and the cross
    • the rod and the rock as a warning about trusting gifts and methods instead of God
    • a direct challenge to trust God with relationships, finances, work and the next step
