How we understand Genesis 2:18 is important.  the Hebrew word "Ezer Kenegdo" is sometimes translated as "helper".  Listen in to hear other more helpful translations of "Ezer Kenegdo" like "delivering ally" as Tim Mackey translates it. We see here  before sin enters, male and female in harmony fulfilling God’s design as priests in sacred space. We'd love...

God is the architect of creation.  What He has done is SECONDARY to what that says about WHO He is. God brought chaos into order, formed the formless, and filled the void.  God takes dust as solid as a grain of sand and forms humankind into his likeness. Nobody but our God!!

This special teaching on Genesis 1:2-3 serves to replace our regularly scheduled Sunday podcast which we lost due to technical difficulties.  God says after creation was finished that it was very good. Even the chaos creatures of the sea are considered a part of God's "Very Good". God dwells on the 7th day in His temple which is His created world dwelling among His image-bearers thi...

Did you know that Love is the most definitive and demonstratable attribute that reveals our awareness and understanding of the heart of God. See what the bible says about how to love: We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not s...

Where is your greatest treasure? How do we live as stewards in the wealthiest country in history? We learn that  The Kingdom of God is a better treasure than anything thing else you have and the best investment you can possibly make. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is,...

The Great Surprise is that  Helping those in need is actually helping Jesus.  Do we pass by the poor, needy, broken, and do nothing? Do we ignore the elderly, sick? imprisoned and lonely? Everyone is made in the image of God and so every single person is worthy of God's love. Loving the least among us from the womb to the tomb is how we as Jesus's Apprentices must live.  We'd love t...

Your effectiveness as a disciple of Jesus is not bound up in meeting standards that are impressive to the world but in the simplicity of knowing the crucified Christ. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake...
