How do we know the truth? In Galatians 1 we are reminded that the Bible is the only absolute source of truth.

As we continue our sermon series on The Reformation, we consider the question - how can sinful people be right with God? On our own we can never connect with God, there is only One person who can connect us to God and that is Jesus.

How can a sinful human be made right with a Holy God? This is a vitally important question. We are told that God provides grace through the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, but we are still left wondering how we can access that grace. Join with us as we consider how to access the grace of God through faith alone.

The Bible uses the word “grace” many times. But what does it mean and why is it important? We cannot have a proper relationship with God without Grace. Thankfully, God explains what grace is and how it works in His Word.

God originally created a perfect world with a garden paradise for the human beings created in His image. The location was beautiful, but there was also a prohibition. In this one prohibition was summed up both a potential blessing and a potential curse depending on the choice the man would make.

What does God tell us about how human beings were originally created and what does that tell us about our purpose and potential? In Genesis 2:7, we find six key truths which help us answer these question and lead us to a Biblical view of man.

In the 2nd chapter of Genesis, the primary emphasis is on God’s creation of and interaction with mankind. We are told of the special care God took when creating mankind and what the role of human beings is intended to be. Along the way, we find out the value of humanity and the love of God.
