Land, Sea, and Sky // Genesis 1:9-19
*Unfortunately, there is not video available of the first 4 messages in the Genesis series. However, the audio is available on the "In the Word" podcast.
As we study the 3rd and 4th days of creation, we find some surprising parallels between the trees and plants and the process of sanctification in the believer's life. We'll also see similarities between the celestial bodies and the way believers are called to reflect the light of Christ.
SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:
Do you believe that the text of Genesis 1 leaves room for evolution and/or an old universe? Why or why not?
Have you experienced the paradox of sanctification - becoming more like Christ while simultaneously becoming more aware of our ...

DISCUSSION / REFLECTION QUESTIONS: If increased revelation leads to increased accountability, why should we shar...
Be Doers of the Word (Part 1) // James 1:21-22

James shares one of the most important verses in the Bible, telling us plainly that salvation isn't just about hearing God's Word, but acting on it. This message urges us to reflect on whether we're merely accumulating knowledge or truly allowing God's Word to change our lives. It's a sobering reminder that self-deception is a real danger, and that the evidence of our faith is found in our obed...

We Are Slaves of Christ // James 1:1
Amazing 🙏🏼
Your parenting series helped me so much in this area to sincerely apologize to my kids when I mess up with them. A sincere apology is powerful and I also believe it releases something in the spiritual realm as well.
Thank you for your powerful testimony! I believe you're absolutely right that is releases something in the spiritual realm because Scripture tells us that "God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) Well done for doing it!
The body works with the soul as the intellect and mind and then our spirit within us is strengthened. The spirit records everything but we need the mind and the brain and body on board too. It's helpful for me to think about how to get spirit, soul, and body involved. Great teaching!
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for teaching us from Gods word. Please continue and reach more people. All need to come closer to God through His son Jesus Christ.
Thank you!
