GENESIS: THE TABLE OF NATIONS - Genesis 10 - Pastor Jim West

Throughout the book of Genesis, which was clearly written thousands of years ago, there are predictions and promises made by God that are inescapably true to this day. God promised that a descendant of Adam and Eve would one day crush the head of the Liar. By virtue of the historical narrative of Genesis and the Old Testament, we can trace the fulfillment of that promise from generation to generation until we come to a manger in Bethlehem.

GENESIS: THE SONS OF GOD - Genesis 6:1-5 - Pastor Jim West

Of all the great mysteries that we find in the Bible, this particular passage in Genesis 6 seems to sit right at the top of our list. Who are the Nephilim? Are these the children of the “sons of God” who impregnated earthly women? Are they demi-gods? Are they giants? I’m sure you likely have more questions, but these are the questions that I brought to the text this week! Support the show Thanks for listening!

GENESIS - ADAM'S FAMILY - Genesis 5:1-32 - Pastor Jim West

Cain walked away from the presence of the LORD, and his descendants, though wealthy, successful and beautiful, will continue to grow in corruption. That point is captured in the description of Lamech, son of Cain, and his children. Yet at the same time, God’s providence is working through the line of Seth to bring both judgment and mercy upon the earth for the sake of fulfilling God’s promise spoken to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:15. This son of Lamech, the son named Noah, will be a righteous m...

Of Life | Digital Fast 2025 | Matthew 14:22-23 -| Krista Boan

When we leave the shallow waters of online connection, and Jesus asks us to put down our phones and get out of the comfort of our boats, we are likely to find ourselves surrounded by the stormy waves of a culture that is suffering at the hand of digital addiction. But if we fix our eyes on Jesus…we have nothing to fear. His gospel is true. We won’t sink…and what’s more, we can start reaching out into the deep waters to grab the hands of others who are sinking.
