Growing in the Word

Today we come to Genesis chapter two as we make our way through the bible. For Adam to see his need for a suitable helper – God first calls him to name the animals.  Let's head over to Genesis two and verse twenty.

God takes good care of His children. We'll see an example of this today - as we look at His first Children.  But This is Growing In The Word  and our teacher as always is pastor Jim Jarrett. The plan is to cover Genesis chapter two - verses eighteen through twenty-five.

We've been in the book of Genesis lately. And as we continue our journey through Genesis we'll be reminded that God is not only the creator of all things - but also our redeemer.  And looking at what was originally intended - will give great insight - to what's in store for us who believe.   Let's open our Bibles to Genesis chapter two - at verse thirteen.

God knows what we need and in His great care for us – He provides it.  Though life isn't like the Garden of Eden, one day it will be, because of what Jesus did on the cross.  And as we look forward to the New Creation we can glean insight on the greatness and glory of our God - from the first creation.  And we'll have an opportunity to do just that - today on Growing In The Word.  

Does it makes sense that God is creator?  Are we following blindly, or is there evidence to support Genesis one and two?  We'll look at both sides logically and scientifically and see which one comes out on top.  If you've ever taken human anatomy in school, you have a pretty good idea of how complex our bodies are.  Pastor Jim says that's compelling proof that God did it!   

How did we get here, and what's the real history of mankind?  God has given us His answer to that question in Genesis chapters one and two, and our present series is emphasizing God's creative work.  If you'll recall in chapter one we learned that the Lord created man on the sixth day.   Well here in chapter two He's going to give us some additional details and elaborate.  Let's look together at t...

God created the Universe and life.  After He was finished He put His stamp of approval on it, saying that it was good.  And then He rested.  As we learned last time on Growing in the Word, that simply means He ceased from His work.  But the question before us today is should we cease from our work and rest?  Some would say, we're commanded to observe the Sabbath.  Pastor Jim Jarrett will help us a...

Today on the broadcast we join pastor Jim Jarrett in Genesis two, where God is now finished with His creative work.  What will He do next? Well, He's going to take some time out to enjoy what He's done- and rest.

Genesis has been rightly called the book of beginnings as it reveals the beginning of everything - except for God of course. The bible makes no attempt to prove His existence for that truth is self evident. As the Psalmist said, the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies show His handy work. What a glorious work God has done - how great is our God!  And for you - He made the sky, the ocean...

Today on Growing in the Word we resume our study of the Beginning. It's based on the early part of Genesis, and we've reached the point of creation where God created mankind.  And the first thing He did after that, is He blessed us.  Our God is a blessing God, and that's seen from the beginning of time.

Pastor Jim Jarrett is recalling the beginning of all things right now, through a study of Genesis.  Everyone should take a trip to the zoo at some point, to see the incredible creative genius of God. From lions, to bears, Hippos, monkeys and my favorite - the Giraffe. I could go on and on.  And really that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the various animal life God has created.

We're in the process of going through pastor Jim Jarrett's series on The Beginning.  In essence we're considering how everything came into existence… from the planets, the living creatures that are in the sea, and walk the earth, right on down to our very own lives. Pastor Jim is about to spotlight the fourth and fifth days of Creation, and that's described for us in Genesis one, verses fourteen t...

Today on Growing in the Word Pastor Jim Jarrett takes us back to the beginning and is giving us a thorough study of the creation account in Genesis one.  On the fourth day, God created the Sun, Moon, Stars and all the bodies of our Universe, and here's how He did it.

Today on Growing in the Word we continue the story of Creation found in Genesis, and we've arrived at day four.  Since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities; His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen. 

Maybe like a lot of people, you're wondering how in the world we got here?  Was there some sort of an explosion caused by random chance that sprung creation into existence or is there a creator behind it all?  Well you're not likely to get the right answer by opening the science books being read in the public schools, but you will by turning to Genesis chapter one!

The truth of God's word has been challenged from the very beginning. Today is no different.  But it's tragic to see that there are even those within the Church questioning the veracity of the word of God.  And when it comes to the book of Genesis - the attacks are the fiercest.  Why? Well, if the foundation can be undermined then the rest of the structure will crumble.  Today on Growing In The Wor...

Look around us in the year 2026 and you can see that the world has drifted away from God. In many cases, they have invented new gods to take His place. It's good to remind ourselves of the God we pray to.  He is the creator. He spoke - then out of nothing He made the heavens and the earth.  He made everything and He's holding it - and us - together. That's comforting! We'll explore this great trut...

 On Today's broadcast we begin a new study in the book of Genesis and we'll be examining the creation account.  So let's jump right in.  Pastor Jim begins by reading the scripture and then will introduce this important book..

An invitation to the White House would be deemed pretty important. Well, what about an invitation given to you by God Himself? Well it couldn't get any better than that, could it? You're listening to Growing in the Word with pastor Jim Jarrett.   We'll be finishing up our study of Revelation today with an awesome invitation from God.

Our teacher is pastor Jim Jarrett and he's been leading us on a verse by verse study of the Book of Revelation. Today we will once again spend some quality time in chapter twenty-two, the very last chapter of the entire Bible! What are the last written words of God?

The key question we'll examine once again today is, now that we know what's in store for this world, what are we going to do about it? We go to school for twelve or so years and are expected to use what we've learned to make our way in society. In much the same way, God has given us the information here in Revelation and expects us to use it. Exactly how?

  We are near the end of a long and inspiring journey through the last book in the Bible, Revelation. And today, Jim will continue our study with a message from Revelation twenty two. We've seen and studied the sequence of events that will signal the return of the Lord. The question you and I must answer is this: What should we be doing with the time remaining?

Today we'll be talking about the soon return of Christ. A Gallup Poll concluded that sixty-two percent of Americans believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth someday. If this is true, why aren't more Americans living with a sense of expectancy that Christ could return at any moment? As followers of Christ, our actions need to match our beliefs.
