God Plans to Bless the World

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Genesis 12 & 22
Trusting God with a next step is one of the hardest things we are called to do. How can we know for sure? Can we question God's plan while still trusting His faithfulness? The promises God gave to Abraham seemed far fetched, but God's plan was worked out and the blessing to the whole world was set to come.

We Turn Away From God

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Genesis 2-3
What happens when we reject God's Word and trust our own instinct? Adam and Eve looked to themselves and took their eyes off of God and sin entered the world.

God Makes Us In His Image

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Genesis 1:26-31
There is something unique about humans versus all other creation. And that is, at the core, we are all made in God's image and have worth as a result.

God Creates All Things

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Genesis 1
Something out of nothing. Order out of chaos. The God who is wise enough and powerful enough to create all things is worthy of our worship and our love because He is good.

Introduction to Unfolding

Pastor Stephen Kirk
John 5:39-40
We are embarking on a year-long journey through the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. But this journey is not about knowing the Bible more, it's about deepening our connection with God.

Uncertainty - Simeon & Anna

Pastor Gary Angstadt
Luke 2:22-38
The waiting game. We've all been there. Uncertain of what's to come. Uncertain just like Simeon and Anna in Luke 2. But despite the uncertainty, when we trust God with what is to come, we find confidence in knowing who He is and His unfolding plan.

Uncertainty - Mary

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Luke 1:26-38, 2:1-7
Mary's world was flipped upside down when she was told the news that she would bear a Son. Questions flooded her mind, full of uncertainty. But she trusted God, believing that Jesus' entrance into this world would be the most pivotal moments in human history.

Uncertainty - Joseph

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Matthew 1:18-25
Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus, was met head on with uncertainty as he heard the news of Mary's pregnancy. But what gave him anchor was his devotion to God and accepting God's plan for his life.

The Hope of Spiritual Renewal

Pastor Stephen Kirk
2 Corinthians 13:1-14
We wrap up our Jars of Clay series in 2 Corinthians. Paul concludes his second letter with words of encouragement to hold each other accountable before the Lord and live in peace.

The Paradox of Strength Through Weakness

Pastor Stephen Kirk
2 Corinthians 12:1-10
How do we find strength in weakness? Paul explains in 2 Corinthians 12 that it's through weakness that Christ is glorified and made known through us.
