Pastor Roger uses the life of Joseph to argue that God’s providence governs even the confusing and painful chapters of our lives. Preaching from Genesis 37 with Genesis 50 as an interpretive lens, we see Joseph’s dreams, betrayal, and exile as part of a larger redemptive plan rather than meaningless misfortune. Key Takeaways - Trust God’s providence even when the process is painful. - Be faithful...

In this sermon, we're introduced to Joseph as a type of Christ. Joseph is loved and sent by his father, rejected and sold by his brothers, falsely accused and imprisoned, then exalted and used to save those who once rejected him. This pattern mirrors the sending and saving mission of the Son, who was sent by the Father to redeem the world, and it echoes Christ’s humility and exaltation as describe...

Genesis 35 opens not with God's rejection, but with His gracious call. In this message, we follow Jacob's journey back to God and discover that God's grace not only calls His people to return, but also reminds them who they are, sustains them through life's deepest sorrows, and warns them against the rival paths that promise quicker progress apart from Him. Key Takeaways: -God graciously calls His...

Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Loïs

Tune is as Pastor Loïs unpacks the tragedy of Genesis 34. We see that private sin and failed leadership have communal consequences, and that Christ alone rightly addresses such ruin. This sermon is organized around three character-types to show how lust, apathy, and vengeance combine to devastate families and nations, then points forward to Jesus and calls the congregation to repentance and active...

Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Bryan

Jacob’s long flight ends when God stops the runner and begins a slow, costly transformation from fear-driven schemer to dependent worshiper. Pastor Bryan traces Genesis 32–33 to show how God interrupts Jacob’s patterns, confronts his self-reliance, and leads him into a new identity, a new way of walking, and restored relationships with God and others. Key Takeaways: - Stop running; surrender rathe...

Pastor Greg looks at Genesis 31 and the theme that God brings blessing out of brokenness while calling us to trust and obey rather than manipulate. The sermon traces Jacob’s decision to leave Laban, the divine confirmation he receives, the family’s secretive flight (including Rachel’s theft of the household idols), Laban’s pursuit, and the eventual confrontation and covenant between the families....

Pastor Loïs examines Genesis 30, focusing on the family drama to show how God meets people in the mess of their lives. Through the births of Jacob’s sons, we see the deeper “wrestlings” of Leah, Rachel, and Jacob—each wrestling with idols of validation, identity, and control—and traces how God’s faithful, impartial sovereignty governs even the tangled consequences of deception and desire. Key Take...

This week, Pastor Roger unpacks Genesis 28-29 by talking about the amazing grace of God. As Jacob is sent to his uncle Laban's to find a wife, we find from this account 7 characteristics of grace. To summarize, grace pursues, reveals, guides. Corrects, and restores. -Featuring Roger Hirth

Pastor Bryan looks at Genesis 27 as a chaotic chessboard where family dysfunction—Isaac’s appetite, Rebekah’s fear, Jacob’s deception and Esau’s bitterness—appears to rule the day, yet God’s sovereign purpose prevails. The chapter’s drama is framed around the tagline “God never reacts. He reigns,” where we see the sensory-driven choices of humans are moves that God ultimately weaves into his coven...

Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Loïs

Pastor Loïs develops the meaning of the altar—our intentional place of surrender and worship. The altar is the locus of true blessing and the access point to Christ’s living water. Using Isaac’s response to God in Genesis 26 as the primary Old Testament case study, we then see the New Testament fulfillment and invitation to return to a cultivated life of worship and dependence on Christ. -Featurin...

We’re half way through Genesis! This week, Pastor Roger looks at chapter 25. Don’t trade what matters—eternal covenant, calling, and legacy—for the immediate pleasures of appetite or convenience. Using Abraham’s final decisions, God’s faithful movement across generations, and the Esau–Jacob episode, the sermon argues that small, habitual choices form destiny and that finishing well requires clarit...

Happy Mother's Day! Join us each week for a brief encouraging word from Pastor Roger Hirth or one of our associate pastors.

Tune in as Pastor Bryan unpacks the longest chapter in Genesis. Chapter 24 is presented as a layered story: a historical account of how Isaac met Rebekah, a covenantal bridge for Abraham’s promise, and a typological foreshadowing of the gospel. The sermon unpacks the chapter through four characters—Abraham, the servant, Rebekah, and Isaac—drawing practical lessons for discerning God’s will and liv...
