Israel Turns Away From God

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Exodus 32
In Exodus 32, we see how quickly the Israelites abandoned the one true God and added idols to their lives. However, the same can be true of us each and every day. The moment we look for "God plus ______", we start pushing God out of the center.

God Provides Wisdom for Life

Pastor Bill Craig
Deuteronomy 5-6
The amazing gift of God's grace is often times seen in opposition of God's law in the Old Testament. But God's heart has always been one of love, mercy, and grace. Behind the law was God's desire for us to come to Him so that He can change our hearts towards Him.

God Sets Israel Free

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Exodus 11-16
Freedom came for the Israelites through Moses and their freedom serves as a reminder for our freedom we receive through Christ. True freedom comes not in doing whatever we want, but realizing God's will for our lives and allowing Him to lead.

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.
