Genesis
Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry
We kicked off our new teaching series "The Word: The Stories in The Story" in which we are on a journey looking at the overarching story of scripture by focusing in on some stories within this big story. You see The Bible is not merely an ancient book of rules. It is a library of different stories telling one unified story of love and redemption. It is foundational, formational, and functional.
We focused in on Genesis and the creation of all things, including us! You see, you were created on purpose and for a purpose.You were created by love, to be loved, and to give love. But sadly there was this great Fall(out) in which humanity began experiencing things God did not intended us to experience, sin and shame. The Fall lead to a fallout that could not be stopped without a savior. But thankfully even at that moment God was working and Jesus was on His way.
From there we learned that God would use family to restore this brokenness. God blessed a family to be a blessing to all and God wants to use His people to bless all people so that they might all be once again, His sons and daughters.
We concluded by talking about these three truths from Genesis and the story of scripture.
-God’s faithfulness will always be greater than your unfaithfulness.
-You have been called to a purpose greater than yourself.
-You were created to be free in Christ.
