Name: A Dysfunctional Family - Genesis 4 by Onalaska Church of Christ in Genesis
Duration: 40 min 43 s
Description: Sibling rivalry is a theme throughout Genesis. Ishmael persecuted Isaac, Jacob left home so Esau couldn't kill him, Joseph's brothers intended to kill him but decided to sell him as a slave, and Cain murdered his brother Abel. When sin entered the human race, it gave us dysfunctional and fractured families. Only God can put dysfunctional families back together.

Genesis

Genesis 1 and 2 act as the reference point; the beginning point for all things. It is the beginning point for God to reveal Himself, His power, His plan, and His purpose for us throughout the rest of the Old and New Testaments.

God always keeps his promises, He knows our needs before we even ask, and He is determined to save sinners.

Our past failures do not destroy God's promises.

Past Failures & God's Promises - Genesis 25-27

Jesus is the King who deserves our praise – not because He gives us what we want, but because He is who we need.

Don’t Let the Stones Outpraise You

Jesus weeps because He longs for people to experience the peace, purity, and presence of God— but when we harden our hearts or misplace our priorities, we miss the very Savior who came to save us. 

The Savior Who Weeps

Join us for a mission focus look into Psalm 67 with our guest speaker from GNPI.

Blessed To Be A Blessing

Gossip may seem harmless, but Scripture reveals it as a heart issue that destroys trust, divides community, and dishonors God. When our words tear others down, we step out of step with the Spirit. God calls us to use our words to heal, not to harm.

The Whisper That Wounds

God doesn't shame us for our anxiety; He meets us in it. Through prayer, perspective, and the promises of His Word, we can experience peace that surpasses understanding - even when life feels overwhelming.

The Battle Within

You find your God-given purpose not by waiting for a bigger moment, but by faithfully pouring yourself out in love, trust, and service right where God has placed you.

Finding Purpose in the Pour

God invites us to bring our questions - and He gives us evidence to trust that the story of Jesus is absolutely true. 

Letter to a Skeptic

When God seems quiet or absent, He is still present and actively working, often building faith, preparing believers, or workings in ways that we cannot see.
