In tonight's message, Pastor Andrew explores Genesis 25:19-34, highlighting the themes of God's involvement in our lives and our vulnerability during times of weakness.

God calls the unlikely - Abraham was a 75-year-old pagan from Ur with a barren wife, yet God chose him just as He chose David, Ruth, Paul, and teenage disciples to change the world. True discipleship demands leaving everything behind, as Jesus told His followers to deny themselves daily and renounce all possessions. Abraham simply "went" when God called, becoming a blessing to all nation...

This sermon from Genesis 11:1–9 explores the Tower of Babel and how pride leads humanity to trust in self rather than God. We see that pride creates false confidence, always brings judgment, and can never stop God’s will from being accomplished. Through this passage we are reminded to reject pride, trust Christ, and live by faith in His Word and plan.

In Genesis 6–9, humanity’s sin breaks God’s heart and provokes His judgment—but even in wrath, He remembers mercy. The flood shows us both the seriousness of sin and the greatness of God’s grace. Just as Noah was saved through the ark, we are saved through Christ, who took judgment so that mercy could be ours.

In Genesis 4, the story of Cain and Abel reveals how our hearts expose our dependence. Cain trusted himself instead of the Lord, and that self-dependence warped his decisions—leading to anger, sin, and ultimately murder. The spiral of autonomy continued as Cain’s line built cities, advanced culture, and pursued progress while rejecting God. Independence masqueraded as strength but only deepened th...

In this sermon from Genesis 3, we explore God’s beautiful design for creation and marriage and how Adam and Eve chose desire over God’s plan. From the deception of the serpent to the shame and separation caused by sin, we see the devastating effects of disobedience. Yet, we are also reminded of God’s mercy, His covering grace, and the hope we have in Christ.

In this sermon from Genesis 1:1–2:3, we begin our journey through the book of Genesis by looking at the creation account. When God’s people were wandering in the wilderness, Moses reminded them of the one true Creator—the God who is eternal, powerful, orderly, and creative. Most importantly, this God gives His people worth as image-bearers. Listen in as we see that  God is the good Creator, making...

Kicking off a brand-new semester at The Rock, Pastor Andrew gives a big-picture overview of the book of Genesis and why it matters for your life right now. In this message, we explore four essential questions Genesis answers: What is this world and where did it come from? Why is the world the way it is? How does God relate to His people today? Does God care for me? You’ll see how God is the good C...

Galatians 6:1-10 1  Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.  2  Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.  3  For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.  4  But let each one test his own work, and then his reaso...

Galatians 5:16-26 16  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.  17  For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.  18  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.  19  Now the works of the flesh...

Galatians 4:12-31 12  Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.  13  You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first,  14  and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.  15  What then has become of your blessedness? For I...

Galatians 4:1–11 (1) I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, (2) but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. (3) In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. (4) But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of w...

Galatians 3:15-29 15  To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.  16  Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.  17  This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, doe...

10  For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”  11  Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”  12  But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”  13  Christ redeemed us f...

Galatians 2:15-21 15  We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;  16  yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. 17  But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Chr...

Matthew 7:24-27 24  “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  25  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.  26  And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his hous...

Galatians 2:1–14 1  Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas,taking Titus along with me.  2  I went up because of a revelation and setbefore them (though privately before those  l who seemed influential) thegospel that  m I proclaim among the Gentiles,  n in order to make sure I wasnot running or had not  o run in vain.  3  But even Titus, who was with me, p was not for...

Paul Called by God 11  For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. 12  For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13  For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. 14  And I was advancing in Judaism b...

1  Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— 2  and all the brothers who are with me,  To the churches of Galatia:  3  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4  who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5  to whom b...

1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,  2  and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3  For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,  4  that he was buried, that he was raise...
