God Confronts Human Power

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Exodus 3-6
Over and over again throughout the Bible, we see how God promises to be with us as He leads us into the unknown. When God called Moses to free His people, Moses' response was focused on his own capacity, not God's. But Moses soon found out how powerful God truly is.

God Enables Forgiveness

Pastor Bill Craig
Genesis 37-49
Joseph's life was riddled with ups and down, trials and triumphs, imprisonment, and successes. But through each step in his life, he knew that God was with him and guiding his steps. It's hard to see beyond our circumstances and trust God's plan. But when we look back and see what God was doing through it all, we can see His unwavering faithfulness. 

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.
