What does it mean that God remembered Noah? Had God forgotten about Noah? In this sermon Pastor David explains that far from forgetting Noah this chapter emphasizes God’s faithfulness and everlasting care for Noah. It’s because God had not forgotten about Noah that the flood waters recede.

Catastrophe changes the was you see the world. Not just in the moment of it's impact, or the devastation left behind. But it changes the very metrics by which future generations would deduce what happened, and when. This is the story of the global flood. It changed the topography of the earth and created a worldwide graveyard of fossils, which we now try to interpret with our 19th through 21st cen...

Is Noah’s Ark and the Flood an impossible tale or a historical account of real events? The idea of a global Flood seems almost too big to be true: water covering the entire earth, all those animals fitting on a single boat, one family saved out of a multitude of people. Could something like that have really happened? In this sermon Pastor David explains that Noah’s Ark and the Flood is actually hi...

In Genesis 6, we see that man has filled the earth with violence, where they were supposed to fill the earth by populating it and giving God al the glory. Once humanity leaves its duty of glorifying God, we see love grow cold, and depravity begin to heat up. People have mistaken God's silence as His indifference.

Genesis chapters 4 and 5 contrast two different families, one characterized by vengeance, the other by mercy. We naturally don’t want justice, we want to one up and outdo anyone who dares mistreat us. Yet instead of seeking retaliation and revenge Jesus calls us to love, forgiveness and grace because that is what He has shown us. In this sermon Pastor David contrast the vengeful words of Lamech wi...

Blessing is the opposite of cursing, yet within the very first curse is a promised blessing. God promises to do good in the midst of punishing. In this sermon Pastor David examines how salvation comes through judgment. From the very beginning God justly punishes sin, but mercifully promises a Savior.

Where does the desire to be clothed come from? The answer is found in Genesis. In this sermon Pastor David examines why we wear clothing, why public nudity is shameful and how God graciously provides a covering for our guilt, our shame and our sin. Jesus who took our sin, our reproach, our shame when on the cross He was stripped naked so that we could be covered with His righteousness. This is the...

Satan first questioned the trustworthiness of God’s word and then directly contradicted it. Satan says “You will not die. So go ahead and eat.” Adam and Eve believed the lie that they can reject the Word of God and face no consequences. In the sermon Pastor David examines the first temptation.

Men and Women are of equal value yet they are not the same in every way. The distinctions between men and women are intentional. God’s good design for human flourishing was to make men and women different by design. Men and women find happiness in owning their God-given identity and responsibilities. Men and women find happiness in owning their God-given identity and responsibilities. Men and wome...

Is work a result of sin? No, work was God’s good plan for us before the Fall. In Genesis chapters 1-3 we see how work is not a curse, but actually one of the greatest gifts that God has given to humans. Yet many questions remain: What difference does following Jesus make at work? As Christians, should our work be distinctly Christian? Do Christians have to have Christian jobs? In this sermon pasto...

In the beginning God created the whole world as His cosmic Temple and it’s holy of holies was the Garden of Eden, a delightful paradise where God and man dwelt together in harmony. This is how it’s supposed to be forever. Yet paradise was lost when mankind rebelled against God’s rule and was banished away from the life giving presence of God. Thankfully God has made a way in Jesus for us to once a...

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness." Genesis 1:26 In a world where the apex of the creation has fully rebelled against the phrase, "And God said, 'Let there be...'", it's possible for man to believe that, "A Rat Is a Pig Is a Dog Is a Boy". But even though we share the same Creator and essential substance, we are unique from any other creature God has made. In this se...

The first page of the Bible tells us of God speaking the world into existence. In this sermon Pastor David walks through the account of creation week, noting it's beauty and significance. God's purpose in making the world, was to share creation with those He has made in His image and for them to forever rule and rest together. Mankind has been tasked with joyfully filling the earth and subdue it,...

Your life is not ultimately about you. The world does not revolve around you. If not you, then who? The Bible answers in it’s very first verse. It's all about God. God is the ultimate reality from whom everything else flows. God is at the center. God is the preeminent One. In this sermon Pastor David considers the profound realities we learn concerning God from the Bible's first sentence. In the b...

Where do we come from? How did we get here? Why is the world the way it is? What's the purpose of life? These questions and more are answered at the very beginning of the Bible. Most of the world’s history takes place in Genesis 1-11 and in this overview sermon pastor David summarizes and introduces the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis.
