In this sermon series, we come to Part 3 of our sermons through the Book of Genesis. Chapters 37-50 form one cohesive story. All the tensions of Genesis come to a head. How will God preserve his chosen family despite betrayal, jealousy, and famine? Where is God in the midst of suffering? And as we look at this story, it will help us process our own emotions and experiences as we wonder -- where is God in the midst of our own suffering?

Genesis: Preservation and Suffering

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Genesis 45. Here we see Joseph extend radical forgiveness to his brothers. Not only that, but Joseph explains how his faith drives his forgiveness. And then his forgiveness moves beyond the theoretical into the actual. Listen and be challenged to grow in forgiveness.

40 Forgiveness 101

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks us through Genesis 46 and 47. Now that Joseph's identity has been revealed, Jacob and his family prepare for a journey out of the promised land to Egypt. God reassures Jacob of His enduring presence with him on the journey. In this passage, we find timeless principles for the journey of the Christian life that we may remain faithful as sojourners in a world that is not our home.

41 A Traveler's Guide to Faithful Living

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Genesis 48 as Jacob nears the end of his life. When Joseph hears of this, he takes his sons to see him. Jacob blesses Joseph's sons as his own, putting Ephraim ahead of Manasseh, indicating that the special line of promise traced throughout Genesis will continue through his descendants and find ultimate fulfillment in Jesus. Listen and be encouraged by God's word.

42 Blessed To Be A Blessing

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Genesis 49. Our words have direction to them -- they either lead to life or they lead to death. Jacob draws his sons for his final words. In this text, we see words of rebuke, words of restoration, and words of redemption. He said what needed to be said. He pointed his sons to the hope of the gospel. And we need that same direction too. Listen and be encouraged by these final words.

43 Final Words

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Genesis 50 and the end of the beginning. As Moses brings his first book to a close, it reads like an epilogue, tying up loose ends and emphasizing the major themes of the book: Nothing -- not even death -- can stop the promises of God; Everyone needs daily grace to overcome guilt and fear; God's providence is the only way to make sense of life; In the end, God will surely take us home.

44 The End Of The Beginning

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin begins our Summer in the Psalms series with Psalm 1. The Psalmist shows us that there only two ways to live: the way of the righteous or the way of the wicked. The truly blessed life is one rooted by faith in Christ, like a tree planted by streams of water.

01 Psalm 1 - The Truly Blessed Life

Summer in the Psalms // Church - Psalm 122
In this sermon, Kevin looks at Psalm 122 and the theme of Church, the gathered people of God. What should our attitude be as we gather to worship God? It's easy for Sunday morning to be characterized by a rough work week, a difficult morning, or the impending week to come. But God's people have reason to be thankful and to expect good things from him. What would it look like if we gathered with such gratitude and expectation?

03 Church

Believe and Live || The Truth Will Set You Free
In this sermon, Pastor Jeremy preaches on John 8:31-59. In this passage, we see that Jesus alone can give us the true freedom we need because he alone possesses the truth that frees us. Jesus shows us that such freedom doesn't come to us by any earthly heritage, but by faith in Christ, the great "I Am". Only the gospel sets us free, and if the Son sets us free, we are free indeed!
