In The Beginning, God

We will study the REAL NIMROD this weekend as we move to the story of the TOWER OF BABEL in Genesis 11. 

Pastor Denny's Preview

We look at the first part of the story of the years following the flood.  How did people end up where they did?  In this study, we will see Noah’s drunkenness and the sin of his son, Ham.  As always though, we will learn most about our God!  We have two more weeks in our Genesis series;  I hope that it has been helpful and practical to you.

We finish the flood story in Genesis 9:1-17 and learn about the things that changed after the flood, and the Covenant that God established with the earth. It is a wonderful story of how God made peace with us!

We continue our Genesis study by looking at Chapter 8 and the end of the flood.  We learn a lot about God and Noah in this chapter, and we will try to understand the dates and times that Noah’s family spent in that box! 

The rains begin as we study the 7th chapter of Genesis and continue our look at the Flood Story. Many people reject this account as myth or “figurative,” but I would suggest that the story happened as recorded. In this study, we see the animals arrive, the flood begin, and God closing the door.

We focus on the ARK of Noah and learn about its building and purpose.  We will see that God had definite plans and the Noah was obedient. It is a wonderful chapter of Scripture!

Let’s just say it up front, this weekend we are studying one of the strangest passages in all of Scripture. We learn about the epitome of sin that led to the flood.  (It is the “rest of the story” that we didn’t learn as children!)  We will look at the seriousness of sin and God’s “regret” over even having created man.  It will be a difficult passage to apply, but it is part of God’s Word and we need to understand it to be able to comprehend the reason for the flood story that follows.

We will study the genealogy of Adam.  We will remember together that God is able to deliver on His promises.  As you read this passage, take note of variations in the form of the writing.  

This week we continue our series by looking at the "first family" and the dynamics between Cain, Abel, and the undeserved grace we receive from God.

We continue our series in Genesis by moving to chapter 3 and the story of SIN.  There is much to learn here about the nature of sin and God’s plan to cover our sin.  One of the worst results of sin is separation.  Please read the chapter in preparation for worship.

This weekend is the story of the creation of man and woman which is still so important for us today!  We will explore the purpose of man, his place in the world, and also the critical role of his partner, woman.

We begin an eleven-week study of the Book of Genesis and see what God tells us about origins, sin, the flood and the nations.  This week is chapter one and the creation story.
