The Woman And The Curse

Because of the Curse "things are tough all over," but men and women suffer differently. When we read Genesis 3 we notice that God addressed each of the wrongdoers in order, and judged them individually. He sentenced the serpent for his crimes first. Next, he turned to Eve. That's what we'll look at today and tomorrow in a message called The Woman and the Curse. Pastor Jim will point out the four aspects of this judgment, and how those are working themselves out in our world today.

The Serpent And The Seed -II

It's not politically correct to say that there are two kinds of people in the world - and one kind is the seed of Satan! Jesus, you remember, said to the religious hypocrites, "You are of your father, the devil." But the concept is much older than that. As Adam, Eve and the Serpent stood before God in that open-air courtroom, the Creator prophesied what would happen between the "seed of the serpent" and the "seed of the woman."

The Dark Invader

As we seek to understand this world, some of us are missing a vital bit of information. "All the world's a stage," Shakespeare wrote. We're all born into the middle of a drama we haven't learned. Even the set and the other players are unfamiliar to us. As we engage in the process of discovering who and where we are, we'll be mistaken if we don't acquire one fact: This world is not as it once was, and not as it will be Today Jim explains the change, in his sermon, The Dark Invader.

What It Means To Be Lost

When Christians talk about people being "lost," what do we mean? If we want to know why the world is as it is, and why the word "human" is a synonym for "error-prone," we have to dig in to the third chapter of Genesis. So we'll go back there today to look at it from a new angle: What is this thing called sin? How did it get here? And what did it do to us, today, before we even knew about it? Jim will deal with this deep theological subject in a practical way; using experiences and feelings we can all relate to.

For Our Sake

Eve had tested God's words scientifically, empirically, and found them to be false. Or so she and Adam thought. Hope you had a great Christmas. As you can tell, we're getting right back into our Genesis series today. Adam and Eve were having a wonderful afternoon. They had trusted their own senses and were still standing. God was wrong, the snake was right, and they must have been feeling very godlike. Until the day began to cool, and they heard footsteps. Here's Pastor Jim in Genesis, chapter 3.

Eve: The Mother Of Us All

Today we bring a message from your great grandmother. Well, your great, great, great, great, great, great.... The first woman, Eve, lived a life of unimaginable joy, and profound sorrow. If she could speak to us, she would surely have some wisdom to pass along. And in a way, she can get her message to us - through all the years and generations - in the pages of Scripture. In our review of the book of origins, Genesis, Pastor Jim will bring us a new sermon called, Eve: The Mother of us All. Let's learn from Eve's mistakes, and also from her hope, and faith. We'll be in Genesis 3, with Jim.

The Subtle Serpent Said

When a snake talked, he spoke with a forked tongue. The world as it is demands an explanation. Either the Creator is defective, as the Gnostics taught, or something happened after the perfect God created His "very good" world. There is a twist - a serpentine twist - to the tale. Then the question becomes, is this story plausible, or is it just a story? Pastor Jim will give us some background on a snake who was not like the ones we see today. His message is called, The Subtle Serpent Said.

God Created Man & Woman

People can invent all the "genders" they like, but there are still only 2 sexes - and they are God's invention. God created the animals male and female, some exceptions noted. Even some plants have two complementary sexes. When He came to human beings He refined this concept...in ways we should be able to appreciate! We've been studying the book of Genesis. It starts with that famous, linear account of Creation, day by day; then in Chapter 2 we get a "flashback" to fill in details about us. That's where we are now, as Pastor Jim begins a sermon called God Created Man and Woman.

God The Creator

Today we'll answer the age-old question: Which came first - the chicken, or the egg? Spoiler alert: It was the chicken! Scientists used to know that only life begets life, and every living thing reproduces after its kind. But these truths were difficult for proud human beings to bear; they require us to acknowledge that we did not create ourselves. Today Jim advances our Genesis series with a message called God, the Creator.

A Tent To Dwell In

Long before scientists knew the universe is expanding, prophets said that God "stretches out the heavens." The world is round, human beings are tiny, and God is still spreading out the heavens - we get all that from one verse: Isaiah 40:22. But it's the beginning of that system we'd like to learn about in our Firm Foundations series. How did our cosmos come to be? So today Pastor Jim will open a new sermon borrowing a phrase from Isaiah for his title: A Tent to Dwell In.
