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...

Luke 1:46-56 46  And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47      and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48  for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.     For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49  for he who is mighty has done great things for me,     and holy is his name. 50  And his mercy is for those who fear him     from generation to generation. 51  H...

17  But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18  For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19  for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.  20  When you come togeth...

2  Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.  3  But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife[ a ] is her husband,[ b ] and the head of Christ is God. 4  Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,  5  but every wife[ c ] who prays or prophesies with h...

1 Corinthians 5:1-13 1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife.  2  And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. 3  For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment...

Divisions in the Church 3 But I, brothers, 1  could not address you as  a spiritual people, but as  b people of the flesh, as  c infants in Christ. 2  d I fed you with milk, not solid food, for  e you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is  f jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human...

1 And I, when I came to you, brothers,[ a ] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony[ b ] of God with lofty speech or wisdom.  2  For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  3  And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,  4  and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power...

18  For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19  For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,     and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20  Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?  21  For since, in...
