Sermons In This Series
The Book of Beginnings
The Gospel didn't start at the empty tomb or the cross or even the manger. The Gospel started all the way back in Eden. The opening lines of the Bible "'In the beginning, God' "set the tone for everything that follows.
(Genesis 1:1-23) And God Said . . .
If Genesis 1 is false, then Jesus, who confirmed the record, the prophets, who declared the record, and the apostles, who taught the record, were all liars. Genesis must be true in order for Christianity to be true.
(Genesis 2:18-22) The Climax of Creation
Today you'll learn why mankind was and always will be the climax of God's creation.
(Genesis 2:23-25) God's Design for Marriage
Divorce runs rampant today. So what's the problem? It's bad theology. If we would just get our theology straightened out . . . we could get our marriages straightened out as well.
(Genesis 3:1-24) Goodbye to Paradise
God is interested in family harmony and confession between husband and wife. If your prayers aren't being answered, take a look at your relationship with your spouse!
(Genesis 4) The Curse of Cain
In this message, The Curse of Cain, Stephen reminds us that God's way isn't merely the best way . . . it's the only way.
(Genesis 5) Truths From an Old Record
Why would God choose to record an obituary column in holy scripture? What we discover in Genesis 5 is a long list of people we don't know. But God knows them . . . and that's all that matters.
(Genesis 6:1-9:17) Ingredients of Integrity
Noah was more than just a shipbuilder. He was also a missionary in a spiritually dead land. And even though his family members were the only converts of his ministry, he never stopped obeying God.
(Genesis 9:20-11:25) Lessons From Sinning Saints
Is there really such a thing as a secret sin? No! Even the sins that are never discovered keep us from being the Christians God intends us to be. The person we fool most when we keep our sins buried in the closet is ourselves.
